Well, I bought a fuel gauge and regulator. I put the gauge on first to see what the pressure actually was. It stayed around 5 psi. I put the regulator on since I already had the hose cut. The engine looked pretty clean, and I keep fuel cleaner in every tank of gas. If the valves had carbon...
When I bought it, it had a Holley 600 on it. I put the Edelbrock and a Stealth Wieand intake on. How can I check the fuel pressure? What is it supposed to be?
I need help diagnosing my problem. My 67 is running rough, and really rich. It smokes most of the time. Usually white to grey in color. If I hold my hand to the exhaust tips they smell like gas. Spark plugs will foul out and turn black and smell like gas. Ignition is fine. Looked for vaccum...
I just started putting my column back together after ripping out the brake pedal support (ie. new brake booster) to replace the bushings. It has been about a year since I started this because of my wife's car. My memory is a little foggy. I am down to putting the wheel back on, but I get the...
Where can I find a new booster pushrod? The one that goes from the brake pedal to the booster? That is the only "sloppy" part left on my brake restoration. All I can find is the adjustable ones for manual systems. Do they even sell them? I have a new booster and master cylinder and will slowly...
Thanks for the info. I'm going to assume it is both since it worked before. The piston inside the block is frozen up, so only my front discs were stopping me when the power booster went out. I will cross my fingers and order what they said I needed. :D
Dude, you can eat the cat if you want, but it wasn't his fault. You never leave metal bare ANYWHERE. Inside or outside it will still flash rust if left bare. If you can't paint it right away, don't strip it down. Just some friendly advice. :D
I am trying to finish up my brake system on my 67 fastback. The last area was the lines around the master cylinder and what I thought to be the distibution block. I read an article that said all disc brake cars had a proportioning valve. I have never seen a Prop.valve on my car, only the...
The dashpot only keeps your engine from stalling when it rapidly decelerates. It keeps the butterfly from snapping back and killing your engine, kind of like a delayed reaction. Sounds like you may have timing issues.
I actually took them off of my wifes coupe when we brought it home because I thought they were ugly. I don't like the tall fins. Maybe someone on ebay will want them! :D
They aren't for an FE engine. They fit 289-302. I looked on ebay and saw a set for a 352 FE for $150. I found a small article on the company. They seem to be 60's aftermarket covers.I guess I will see if anyone wants them. Thanks for the info.
Does anyone have any info on the cal-custom brand from Gardena CA? From what I have seen, they are no longer in buisness. I have a set of finned alum. valve covers with their logo. Part number 40-1017. I am tring to decide wether to get rid of them or keep them. Don't Know if they are worth...
I have not been on in a while. I see a lot of new faces. I am trying to get back into the restoration mode on the fastback. (kind of got burnt out) I am trying to decide how to have the car stripped. Has anyone had their whole car bead blasted? How much, and did they prime it before sending it...
I haven't heard too many good reveiws about the refill kits. All of the online sites will be about 20 dollars cheaper for remanned cartridges. I guess I will go ahead and bend over and buy new ones :( . At least I know they will work right. Thanks for the help.
The ink cartriges for my HP printer are about 70 bucks. I'm feeling like a tight wad. Has anyone here used the refill kits where you fill your cartriges with the sirenge? Smells like a scam.
I have the stock 8" in my fastback with a little over 300hp. I swapped the 2.79 ratio out with 3.55's. I dog it pretty hard sometimes and have never had any trouble with it.
