Then how do you remove the key when you shut it off? It typically comes out only in Park if I remember right.
I like 800 in Neutral regardless of automatic or manual. I think the factory says 650 in gear with auto.
It should not advance at idle when connected to ported vacuum (above the throttle blades). Makes me wonder if your idle speed is set high to begin...
Wow!
The vacuum advance is for part throttle cruising under light loads. You can run 45 to 50 degrees total under part throttle cruising, and the...
Yeah, that's the lock pin I was talking about.
It's absolutely possible. If the collar is turned all the way counter clockwise, which is where it would be when the shifter is in "Park", the key...
As long as you don't turn the key off while driving, there's no problem. You can always remove the locking pin at the top to remove any...
Nice car. Those big bumpers have got to go. Can't wait to see your progress.
No. An 8.8" is an 8.8". It's a C-clip axle rearend like the older GMs.
If you drive on the street, don't run a spool.
I I agree, unless you have the Duraspark-II ignition with the blue gromet. It has a start retard feature. That said, anything over 20 (initial)...
I run 10w-30. The reason I suggested 10w-40 is because it's got close to 100,000 miles and he's in a hot climate (Georgia). For today's engines,...
Walmart 10w-40.
I set mine for 12 initial, and I have 26 in the centrifugal, which totals 38. I never messed with the vacuum advance, but I was told it's about 10...
I run 37-38 total. I really wouldn't worry about the vacuum advance unless you're getting detonation.
Any brand motor oil of the correct viscosity is just fine. I use Motorcraft FL1-A filters for the V-8.
Cool project. Those bumpers have got to go.
That's good news. It definitely sounded like a spark issue. Also looked way retarded in the picture (but that's no real proof of anything). What...
I would re-stab the distributor so that the vacuum can is pointing more toward the center of the car. As it is, there is no room to back off the...
Separate names with a comma.
