Well, as you know, my engine is not stock, but I do run the original carb (modified) and computer (with Hyperchip) and distributor. I have the stock rear gears and a TH700r4 transmission, which has a lower first gear. Without power braking or reving, I can take my foot off the brake and jam the...

The air valve will not open sitting in the driveway. Yes, adjust the air valve then take it out and floor it (in a safe and legal manner:D). You should be able to here those big secondaries kick in. God bless, Sensei

Can I make a humble suggestion? Stop replacing random parts and trace down the problem! All you need to test the switches is a cheap multi-meter. While you are there, use the meter to see if you have power to the switch. You may find everything works and you just have bad connections at the...

I cheated and just took a long slim flat head screw driver and popped the actuator loose from the mechanism. Now the key opens the door very easily. God bless, Sensei

When I bought my car the glass tops were originals that were cracked and unmatched, but usable. I later shattered them putting them in the back. I then found 2 sets on Ebay that had one good and one broken on opposite sides. They almost matched but I shattered one of them replacing the weather...

I could be wrong. I know I got instructions from a guy on how to modify an older block for the stock roller lifters and spider, but I thought the Comp retro-fit kit just dropped in. I guess a call to Comp is in order. God bless, Sensei

180 will be good, and you can buy roller cam retro-fit kits from Comp that do not require any block modification that I am aware of. God bless, Sensei

You want to try and keep the CCC system, it works very well and is always cheaper to fix than ditch. The tranny control is the least of your losses without it. No other carburetor can give you the performance and efficiency of the E4ME, and if you replace it with something else, you must also...

Actually, I have recently found a way to trick the computer into working with any cam. It is a simple mod that costs about $20. I am playing with it right now and was planning to post it some time in the near future. A more radical cam may be in order soon! God bless, Sensei

Peter, keep in mind that the cam/ head descriptions from the manufacturers are very general because a small block Chevy engine is as likely to go into a truck or SUV as a car. For a heavy vehicle, you need more torque, especially if you might be towing something with it. As V8 powered vehicles...

Peter, I think I have built the engine you describe. This is what I have: Dart 180 cc Iron Eagle heads, 72 cc chambers Flat top hypertuetic pistons Comp XE262H cam 2.5" true dual exhaust TH700r4 tranny w/ stock rear gears I am very happy with the results, I get 350-400 hp, 17 miles per...

I already have mine :thumb, but this is a good heads up for anyone who does not. God bless, Sensei

Go drive it in the rain! :hb

I think there were four different stickers; California auto or manual and Federal auto or manual. If you are doing an NCRS restoration, buy the sticker. If not, you can figure out what you need with the GM service manual. God bless, Sensei

Any time buddy :thumb.

You need that pull off! It is not just for the choke, it has two functions. I have to contradict what someone said earlier; the '81, in spite of what one diagram in the assembly manual may suggest, only has one dashpot, located in the front. In addition to choke function, that device keeps...

I remember the first time I disassembled a Quadrajet (I know this isn't your first time). I was all into completely tearing it down and getting it really clean. Then when it was time to get it back together, all the little peices of the divorced choke were quite a puzzle. It took a while, but...

Comercially rebuilt carbs are JUNK! They do stuff to them that pretty well assures endless problems. Do you still have your original carb, or did you have to send it to them? If you still have it, PM me and we can talk about getting together and fixing it. The choke is a simple fix...
