Curious what the purpose of the above switch is. It screws in to the hard coolant line that runs behind the block at the firewall (just under the ignition coil). I removed my igni ...

UPDATE

Something's up with the distributor vacuum advance. It started (on its own) idling up at 1800 rpm again. I can pull the vacuum advance off and idle drops to a rock steady 1000. Re attach ...

Question: I have two vacuum ports on the throttle body. One is right at the connection to the rubber intake boot, the other is under and a bit to the right of the idle screw. Does it matter which p ...

I'd have to get the tools to do a leakdown test. But I feel like I'd have other problems if the cylinders weren't sealing properly. But I'm game to try it (especially if I get to buy a new tool).

Well it's not the deceleration valve.

I cleaned it and it seemed to work. The valve would open at 20hg of vacuum and close fairly quick. So I completely disabled the valve (putting a vacuum plu ...

When I take my foot off the accelerator, the rpm slowly drops to 1200.

I've only done the "release clutch with brake on" maneuver to see if the idle would drop or if it would climb back u ...

I actually pulled the AAV while I was doing the injectors. I had cleaned it some months ago but I confirmed that it is working with an oven and freezer test. When the valve is at approx 80*F, it's a ...

Installed the new injectors and seals today. Of course there was drama. The injector on No. 4 was leaking a lot of fuel around the seal. I mopped up the gas, pulled the injector and re-installed it ...

Just looked back over the list of repairs done by the PO. Injectors were not replaced. Is it worth putting in a new set while I'm pulling them out anyways?

I'm sorta thinking some more ignition work might be in order, if you've got a lumpy idle.

So this statement has been stuck in my brain for months now. Especially as I've started chasing down a hig ...

First off, to the Mods, if this post isn't appropriate, pls delete.

Beginning about 3-4 months ago, I started having intermittent issues with my left hip and worse issues with the left knee. No re ...

Take a deep, cleansing breath... maybe two or three.

Anytime I've run into a job that seems simply overwhelming just remember: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

First bite, I'd g ...

I got a reply email late yesterday that he *could* provide mounts in a 60A hardness, but that he wouldn't recommend it for as it's too soft.

I've been impressed with his willingness to reply to o ...

He did say 70A and that he could provide harder bushings if required.

So it looks like he sends us the bushings, we strip down our mounts to the metal frame, and install the bushing in the frame. ...
