    C3 1-1/2" Engine Offset

    Sorry, stupid me of course they are the same. On our dutch forum there is somebody with different length half shafts so i was thinking maybe he switched them. But as i had mine in my hands several times I should have known they are equal :) Still thanks for the wake up ;) Greetings Peter

    I don't remember in which book i read it but ceramic coating is the best solution to vacate heat from the engine back, and some other things i don't remember. Good luck with the headers! Greetings Peter

    Air Restriction Indicator

    Brings a backfire into a hole other dimension :) Sorry I have a K&N filter, and I'll buy a new one if I think this one is done. If I think some things can be done better or easier them OEM indended then I 'm in for it but this is some weird advice that doesn't belong on a technical forum...

    Spare Tire Carrier ???

    Why keep it on the car? It is adding weight and if you are unfortionate enough to use it in this age of mobile communication then you're really in for a dangerous ride! That's why i removed mine :) Greetings Peter

    Question: 81 with quadrajet bogging

    You can take off the airhorn without special tools. To set it up correctly you need them. As with every quadrajet you can make alot of adjustments like tailer make the accelerator pumpshot. :) Greetings Peter

    Question: 81 with quadrajet bogging

    Normally the problem starts because the second air valve opens but fuel isn't triggered to flow. You get a lean condition. Normally the easy fix is to make two half cirkel openings in the upper air valve toward the fuel openings. You can find this fix in the Cliff and Doug quadrajet books :)...

    Car won't start after heats up

    I think it's a problem almost every c3 driver with OEM starter faces sooner or later. I think a mini starter or coating the exhaust will be the best solutions. As a red top will improve the cold start amps it doesn't solve the starter problem. :) Greetings Peter

    Doing Your Own Front End Alignment

    Hello Toobroke, Oke I'll bite for one last time. I don't care for no autocad drawings neither if its front end or wheel alignment. But this I do: so you connect it to the upper and lower grease zerks? Do you have the picture on the lower connection? As the upper one is straight forward a round...

    Quench................Worth It Or Not?

    I understand but for an experiment you can take a bottom end first dyno it for example with 72cc heads. 10:1 compression and ideal quench distance. After that rework the same head in 64cc model to match the 10:1 compression with a bigger quench distance. Same dynamic compression, etc etc. Then...

    Moving to 3.73 gears

    Sounds great! As the first gear is very short is it still usable with the new gears? And a how many rpm torqueconverter are you running? :) Greetings Peter

    The Importance Of Grounding Heater Cores And Radiators

    You can use the same method with old iron windows in a building. Connect all of them with a small wire, put a low current on it and at the end a small piece of aluminium. This way the softest metal will corrode and not the iron. :) As for our vette's as pointed out above the engine ground will...

    Doing Your Own Front End Alignment

    So if i underatand you correctly you hang the tool onto the grease zerks but how? I understand on that side you don't have problems with with rotor runout or bearing wear altho you want the bearing wear tobe included as it affects tire wear. And from my perspective the more distance is between...

    Quench................Worth It Or Not?

    So what it the answer to the question? Yes I see a lot of funny stuff and kicking but none that even try to give an answer... As I see it when you drive normally your volumic efficiency is much lower then at WOT. I think quench will only do his part when you drive at WOT. I don't remember in...

    Adjusting The Power Steering Pump Belt Tension

    The Usual Cause of Slow Or No Cranking

    Interesting topic! I rebuild my vette and the ground cables from battery to chassis and engine to chassis looked brand new so I reused them without any problems so far. But checking them it's that difficult or am I wrong. Take a battery to the shop so they can check the resistance. Now put the...
