    Trailing Arm Rebuild - Spindle seems very tight

    If you live close to Dallas, take them to TracDog. This is not a good first project without the correct equipment or experience.;)

    New Leak...What is it?

    CARB ADJUST?

    Excellant write up. Glad to see someone post the truith for a change. How refreshing. And yes. Aftermarket ignitions have more "Hype" than any other aspect. A good points dizzy set correctly works well up to 6,000 RPM. Standard GM HEI is fine for 99% of all street applications. Once again...

    Cooling system overhaul

    Felpro makes a re-usable blue silicone gasket for the stat that requires no sealant. Best I ever found. They also make a new valve cover gasket made like the 1 piece pan gasket. No sealant required, best I ever found. EGR, NO sealer. Timing cover and waterpump. I like Permatex #2. Horrible...

    CARB ADJUST?

    Try both manifold and ported vacuum. Manifold usually works best. 160* is a tad low. You may be too rich. Adjust your choke. It should open fully even at 160*. It should be about 1/8" open closed, and the pull off should open it to 1/4" or so at start-up. It should then open fully within a...

    The EGR block off kit may very well have it. If not, Autozone will have a fFelpro EGR gasket.

    Cooling system overhaul

    There are alot of Vettes out there that run hot, and it has nothing to do with the cooling system. They have either retarded ignition advance, run too lean, or both. Tune up your car properly before blaming the cooling system.:)
