Now ya got me spooked !!:confused I'm doing a fast cleanup job tomorrow morning :W

My Compressor blew about 2 months ago and left oil stains on the under-hood. I didn't clean it off because I am going to do a lot of engine-bay work during the winter down time. I do not notice any bleed through to my paint. I have satin black enamel on the under hood area, 1/4 to 3/8 thick...

Good info Jeff........:beer

Thanks guys for some great answers. :beerWhile we're on the subject, I'm going to design a cowl induction similer to the earlier C3's with a look of a 65 BB hood. I am being very careful in my design to keep direct air flow from the carb throat. I want to make sure that I give the Q-jet what...

The washer tank on mine has seperated at the gooseneck/tank junction:cry Think i'll give myself a few days rest before I go at it again.:beer

I got the expansion tank back in and hooked up, what an experience! Now on to the washer tank.....yee gads, here I go again.

I appreciate your answer sixfooter but, how would this effect the performance of the engine. I need only for the engine to run efficiently for a few months while the cowl induction system is being fabricated.; it would not have to be at peak performance.

I am going to return my 78 L82 back to cowl induction like the earlier years. In the meantime my engine will be sucking the hot air that's under the hood. I have removed the over and around factory setup for cooling system service and i'm not going to [place it back....(hate it) A long time...

Hey guys, I got resin and a sawzall. I could do some real damage...that is if-in I was outta my mind:W I did get it out today without removing anything other than some skin on my knuckles. It was grubby and slimey but cleaned-up just barely. Found a hole in the bottom and fixed it with epoxy...

Thanks Bill. On another site I was told to pull, twist, and yank and it will come out. Haven't tried it yet....I dunno ??;shrug

Trying to remove the coolant expansion tank from under the fender of my 78 w/ AC. At the present time I think I may have to remove the AC plumbing plus the right valve cover. Anyone have the secret to getting these tanks outta their hole? Thanks....Rich

Johnny...........Thanks for your time and effort with my post. Your ideas are well taken and appreciated. With all the fine looking wheels out there I am sure I can find something to my likeing. My car is a rebuild so in my world originality doesn't mean spit. I have a beautiful car that's...

I love the look of the center cap of a rallye wheel and hate the look of the lugs and cap on my slotted wheel. Has anybody ever thought of installing the center cap of a rallye onto a slotted wheel. I relise there is a difference of lug nuts between steel and aluminum. I have no idea how the...

Hi Pete...The screw is located on the rt front of carb down under the pull off...correct??

I was fiddlin with the Q-jet not knowing what I was really doing and I was trying to get the idle up on the car and the rpm's weren't responding. My wife was talking with me and I went around the drivers side of car and pulled back on the throttle and "vroom",,,up went the rpm's drastically. I...
