    This is messed up; $325 emmisions tax for 5.0-5.9L

    I'm with you guys on a few points. The biggest related problem we have here is in our mixing of technology with politics. Many people blame the right for relaxing heavy industry emissions rules, and rightfully so. Many people blame the left for trying band-aid solutions for a broken arm...

    Well, that's too bad, I just got my car into shape. I would really have liked to hit a few laps at PRI. Either way though, I'll be at the events.

    This is messed up; $325 emmisions tax for 5.0-5.9L

    My big issue is against all of us who have already bought cars. If it were a fee for new cars, that would make an impact, but there are a lot of people who have old cars and cannot afford new ones, who will have to pay these high yearly taxes. The cost of living is already too high. We need...

    This is messed up; $325 emmisions tax for 5.0-5.9L

    There is a bill that is trying to get through to put absurdly high taxes on vehicle owners. I don't think it will go through, it's just insane. Either way, I think the word should be spread early, just to make sure something like this doesn't go through...

    Why won't my car idle? New 306 build w/ edelbrock performer HCI

    Did you read my prior post about changing injectors without tuning the computer? You gotta understand that all the mothballs and blinker fluid you throw at the her isn't going to make it run until the computer knows what injectors/cam it has. YOUR CAR WILL NEVER RUN PROPERLY UNLESS YOU...

    Is there a write up for rebuilding a distributor?

    Man, I wish I had a spare dizzy sittin' around here so I could visualize it. What year motor? I suppose I could pull mine out but it wont be for a few days, I'm in the middle of midterms right now.

    Is there a write up for rebuilding a distributor?

    :scratch: I think I reused it. Is yours gashed up or something?

    Well it turns out.....

    EGR and cam don't get along. How much money do you have? The best solution is to get a premade chip for 24lb + EGR delete and some good manifold gaskets, Fel-Pro 1250's wiggle too much on alum head/alum manifold, Mr.Gasket seals way better. (recommending the manifold gaskets for safe measure)...

    Is there a write up for rebuilding a distributor?

    I've rebuilt mine before. First thing to do is to get a grease pen to line up the dist. gear with the shaft, relative to the pin that holds it in. If it goes in the other way, you'll be playing with the timing all day and it'll never be right. Anyways pick up a stator&reluctor and I suppose a...

    Why won't my car idle? New 306 build w/ edelbrock performer HCI

    If you put bigger injectors in without changing/tuning the chip, you are running pig rich, I'd be surprised if you could even get it to run down the road. Put the 19lb injectors back in, give it a shot. Then go about looking for vacuum leaks, valve adjustments, bad plugs, etc. It's still...

    http:wwscc.com You can also find events on scca as solo I & II. I was just wondering if there are any locals that would like to come out to some events. It's always nice to find familiar faces there.

    The lifters push against the cam. At BTC there is usually about 120lbs pressure. What you do on a stock engine is to loosen the rockers and rotate them so you can pull the pushrods or remove the rockers entirely. Either way, the lifters have to be pulled out of the way of the cam lobes so's...
