    '66 not idling, driving me insane.

    Thanks Gene, I looked at the instructions which shows a couple of different advance curves, including the one they set it up for at the factory. I can't lock the mechanical advance timing without removing the distributor from the engine. I think I will try to match the timing on the curve and...

    '66 not idling, driving me insane.

    you're right i meant points distributor. currently I have the vacuum line plugged with a small screw driver, and I had set the timing at 10 BTDC however it was set at a higher rpm because I won't idle low enough. After that I messed with it by ear. then I dropped my timing light so it no...

    '66 not idling, driving me insane.

    So I just swapped out my old points carb for a new magnetic one. I think it's GM based. Anyway, I can't get the damn thing to idle right, the lowest I can get it is around 1000 rpm. it will sound like it's idling just fine, but then will quite for whatever reason. I've tried messing with...

    '66 electrical and timing issues

    ok, to fix the turn signal problem, I just glared at the car for about 5 minutes with increasing intensity, then the problem magically fixed itself. the blower motor issue ended up being the switch. I pulled it out from the dash, sprayed some electrical cleaner into the switch, and now...

    '66 electrical and timing issues

    thanks, I'll look into those things once I get a day without rain. everytime i tried to work on the car today it would start to rain, then quit when I did. very frustrating.

    '66 electrical and timing issues

    Ok guys, I've got a '66 that I've had sitting around for a while and it's time to sell it so i can put some money into my '65 convertible project. I haven't had the car out on the road in a few years, and since then a couple of things have stopped working, so I thought maybe you could point me...

    TCP front coil conversion

    I don't see an issue with it. the forces are all going in pretty much the same place.

    Straight 6 or 289 for a daily driver?

    the new v6 is supposed to make 300hp and also get really good mileage (30 ish i think). of course finding one in a wrecking yard probably won't be easy for a while.

    1966 9 in rear end ??

    there are also a bunch of aftermarket companies that will build you a rear end housing with axles to fit. I bought a housing and shafts from currie, then bought a used 3rd member on ebay and a disc brake kit.

    monte carlo bar size

    If it doesn't fit, find a friend or jeep owner with a highlift jack.

    convertible floor pans

    so the full floor pan flexes enough to get the edges under the inner rockers, and slide under the braces coming down from the wheel wells?

    convertible floor pans

    so I'm just about done stripping my car of everything and of course I'm uncovering all sorts of crap that I'm going to have to fix. both sides of my floor pan have enough issues where I'm thinking about either replacing the whole thing or doing the long pans on both sides. Can I remove the...

    my wooden rotisserie / rolltisserie

    If I didn't want people to copy it I wouldn't have posted it. Some of the other ones I've seen don't have wheels, but instead have a cart that the car then rotates onto when in the upright position. That Might be a better way to go. The design I'm using tends to flex around a little bit when...

    my wooden rotisserie / rolltisserie

    it was trail and error. luckily I didn't error too much. I just assumed that the CG was at the same height as the rear bumper and built my arced pieces to match. It turns out the cg was a hair lower than that, so it's a little harder to rotate up than I would like, but it's doable for one...

    Bleeding 9"

    where does the vent exit the axle housing? Also I wouldn't wrap the tube around the axle housing, you may be getting some oil trapped in the low spots, then the pressure will push it out since it can't drain back into the housing.

    my wooden rotisserie / rolltisserie

    thanks. I started with glass beads on friday, but they didn't work too well against the paint. I struggled with it for a couple of days. Then on monday I went to a local abbrasives place and they recommended that I use garnet. I started with the Garnet yesterday, but then it started to rain...

    my wooden rotisserie / rolltisserie

    I was looking for a way to cheaply rotate my car without having to buy an expensive rotisserie that would then end up just taking up space in the shop when I'm not using it. I got this idea from someone on a camaro forum, but figured you guys might like to see it anyway. I'm planning on...
