    Engine Idle Low When Cold, High When Warm

    When I start the car in the morning the idle is very low. After driving moderatly for a while it gets to normal operating rpm. If I drive the car hard and it's a hot day the idle rises way up (1500 rpm) This has haunted me for years, and noone has given me an answer to what the problem is...

    Roller cam

    Well, the roller cam and roller lifters are installed, so is the Edelbrock heads. The job was pretty tough, discovering that the heads are wider than the Stock (reducing clearance for manifolds), and exhaust didn't fit (had to cut h-pipe and do some modification on one of the manifolds. While...

    Extra H-pipe On Exhaust

    I have the Dynamx VT's with movable flaps. http://www.dynomax.com/mufflers.php?muffler=vt The rattle is asumumed to come from the flaps when they are closed (typically at idle). BTW: I am very satisfied with the mufflers as they are free of drone and makes the car completely silent while...

    Extra H-pipe On Exhaust

    I have a dual exhaust with two Dynomax VT mufflers and a H-pipe. I often hear rattle from the mufflers on idle, so I emailed Dynomax and they said I should have a H-pipe in order to reduce pressure on mufflers. Well, as I already have a H-pipe, should I add a second one?

    Roller cam

    I am preparing this years upgrade of my 289. I plan to install aluminum heads, roller lifters and maybe also roller cam. How much performance increase can one expect from changing from stock heads to e.g. Edelbrock heads, and how much to expect from roller cam upgrade?

    Getting New Aod

    I know, the vibration increased after installing brand new converter. Now I want a new AOD. Back to my initial question: Wich Summitt racing AOD would suit my purposes?

    Getting New Aod

    Yes, I have owned the car 12 years and the engine was rebuild in 2001 by a close friend who is pro engine rebuilder. It has also had upgrades afterwards, so I am 100 % shure it is pure 289. Thee was absolutely no vibration when I had the cruisomatic on it earlier.

    Getting New Aod

    I am giving up trying to get my AOD working, so I have decided to buy a new one. I see Summitracing have a few, but I can't determine wich one is best for me. Any suggestions? PS: My local dealer here in Oslo, Norway represents Summit, that's the reason I only look at them.

    Choke Question, Edelbrock 500

    I have a version with electric choke. This dosn't always work satisfactory (humid weather etc.) I wonder if it is possible to combine electric an manual choke? Can I install a manual choke switch and override the elscrtic function?
