Re: 5th gear problem

I will be likely be hauling some very used transmissions up from California, you are welcome to one of them if you want it for parts. Petros if you are going through Reno to pickup those trannys I c...

Re: cuts out and dies at temp

So today I bypassed the fuel tank with small gas can and the car drove around fine. The fuel filter is rather new and the fuel pump is also only a couple months old. I put a new filter on and hooked up the gas tank. This time the car ran for almost a half hr before starting to stall out I popped the...

Re: cuts out and dies at temp

:?: :?: So it's not on the electric side it has to be fuel. Car runs fine until it comes up to temp then starts to cut out and will only idle. The car revs up just fine when I spray starter fluid down its throat. I know the carb is good and getting fuel but it's starving when engine is hot. :evil:

Re: cuts out and dies at temp

The plow doesn't really have a way to adjust the height there is a chain to hold it up when not in use or it sits on the ground with little skid plates to prevent the blade from digging in to the ground. It does detach from the bumper i will try to post more pics on how it was mounted soon but the c...

cuts out and dies at temp

Today I gave a short tow to a woman out of gas just a hundred feet or so. After I left her at the gas station I noticed that my idle started to surge up and down. Ten miles down the road the car started to cut out all together and die. After calling a friend to tow me back home I found a couple of b...

Re: felpro headgasket missing coolant holes help

I just went to quadruple check and the new gasket matches the picture in petros's method exactly
the old gasket has a hole above every single orifice in the block innermost outermost all of them
