    anyone know a thing or two about chevy motors?

    :scratch: The 302 and 351 can be told apart at a glance. With a "calibrated eye' the engine is substantially wider, most notably the intake is wider. Even without the eye the timing cover water ports on the 302/5.0 is right at the head gasket/deck while there is what, 1 1/8? 1 3/8...

    MOTOR TREND

    Yeah, this one time I took one down using either a screwdriver or a wrench as a shifter, a fact one friend reminded me of for years (I had broken the shift rod). About Car Craft, It's been years since I read a car rag. This morning Wife was in the hospital for a test (Rump Rangered...

    Boil Out {LINK to an example} is a caustic/alkaline solution used by radiator shops to clean radiators. Works pretty well on fuel tanks too. Dissolves just about everything that isn't metal and some things that are. Depending on cost verses cost if the tank is structurally sound 'boiling it...

    MOTOR TREND

    People who've driven a II say they were a interesting and neat car, people who've owned a II say the same thing except those people seem to say it with a wistful look and small smile of regreat for no longer owning one. :dunno.gif: What can you say, some people allow others to do their...

    69 w/ 429 CJS HELP!!!!

    I would remove the tank and take it to a radiator shop and have it boiled out, or I would just replace the tank.

    Hard to find Brake part

    Lets play Wheres Waldo. +1 I've seen these in different "bolt" lengths with nipples for different breather tube diameters. I would be hard pressed to think of a Ford rear axle that does not have one, including trucks. Far as I know Ford didn't use a hooded axle breather bolt.

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    Part of this is I have my doubts the plugs are glowing hot enough to diesel, But I'm even more doubtful an engine with 6k miles has caked on carbon deposits. Some say advance timing, others say retard the timing, some say set it to idle rich, others say lean. aparently there is no clear...

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    :nice: From The Secret Life of Spark Plugs {LINK} Different lengths of insulator nose result in varied characteristics and different heat ranges. Heat is dissipated from the insulator nose through the center electrode and the inner seal ring to the spark-plug shell. If the insulator nose...

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    I figured the engine was 'fresh', I figured it wouldn't have more than fluffy carbon from, say, idling rich. Things I left out about hot spots, any kind of a raised edge in the combustion chamber can result in a hot spot. Way back when there were tails of detonation traced back to casting...

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    And cars with AC had 2 stage solenoids. I'm trying to remember a car with a solenoid before unleaded fuel, only thing I know I saw was a dashpot. Or retarded. Both lead to excess engine heat. It's been mentioned how an engine can hydrolock if the water is applied to quickly. A quart in at...

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    The best answers, more knock resistant fuel and/or removal of hot spots. Dieseling is caused by hot spots (Usually carbon) and compression, the higher the compression (or hotter the engine) the 'fewer' hot spots needed. My knee jerk response is to just get a jug of TEL ... Yeah, Right, I've...

    Hit a curb!! Help!

    What did you see when you looked under it? One bright spot in that situation is your father selling the Cobra out from under you keeps you from having to disclose to a buyer the car had that much damage.

    got to buy a compressor - need your advice pls

    I went the iron pipe route also, 3/4 inch in a "T", 3 ball valve blow downs, 6 drops that go up before they go down, base of the "T" has a QC for 1/2 line, standard stuff. Unless running a compressed air air conditioner or descant you never really get all the moisture out. Unless you live...
