In those days I had a '61 red with white coves. It was 315 HP with the competition suspension, metalic brakes, close ratio 4 speed and 4:11 posi. Listed for $5100 I played with anything that challenged me until I would decide to floor it and wind it up to 6300 RPM. I would wave bye-bye to them...

check it with a mechanical gauge to confirm that is the pressure. that pressure is okay anyway, however the senders are just a ballpark pressure reading..

actually thinner oils carry off heat much better.

[/b] False, keep records and be able to prove it was performed in a generally accepted service practice. False. Although GMPP will find it easier to work with a GM dealer and there will be less questions asked.

You will need to show your license

I bought some at Pep Boys last year $35 a 12 oz can Pep Boys in Auburn, Maine had it. They don't use much AC there.

well at $44 for 1/4 of a pound, 1 pound = $176 Kind of steep. now if the chevy dealer installed 2 3/8 pound for $138 I would say that is a better deal. 1 pound = $58.08 good deal.!!

It seems the majority of us got this one correct. It is #3. #1 would not be caused by unfiltered air.A restricted filter would cause lack of engine's ability to increase in rpm's. (can't breathe) #2 the MAF only reads what ever gets past the filter #4 incorrect air supply will not cause...

only conclusion for the type of damage would be that "air is breaching the filter", any restriction to the air filter would not cause any of these symptons.

AC condenser where the inlet and outlet connect. look for oil stains

cycling like yours is usually a sign of a low charge. do you have R12 in it? take a pressure reading to verify switch is operating normal.

A damaged air filter will likely cause: 1: Rough idle 2: Incorrect MAF readings 3: Increased wear on cylinder walls 4: Overheating only one is correct

You may have a failing torque converter. It slips in lockup??. You have the right symptons. Go to a transmission shop and let them drive it. It you continue to drive it the debris from the failing TC will damage the rest of the transmission. Now is the cheapest time to address it.

I have used the expensive Delco before. They fail when driving autocross style in town. I have used the PepBoys life time warranty bearings made in USA by Chicago Rawhide and find they are just as dependable. Best part is that warranty !!:s

I have used that red putty that comes in a (toothpaste type)tube. You can build it up then spot paint it.
