Actually, the rebuild procedure is in the service manual. You could probably do it yourself if you were so inclined....

If you must pull the engine, like Shark said, pull the front wheels you'll want to come in from one of the front corners, not directly from the front. Start with disconnecting the battery, put the car up and disconnect everything underneath the car. I suggest pulling the trans out with the...

I had the same kind of "flickering" on my headlights, specifically, the left side. Looked for grounding issues, and I couldn't find any. Turned out that the support was broken in one corner. You couldn't see it, but every bump in the road made the assembly bounce just a bit. That caused the...

Stefan, Mikey's right. You really should troubleshoot the system step by step. You'll find the problem, and get it fixed once. It wouldn't be a shock to find more than one problem either. The hoses may need to be replaced, but it that doesn't get your problem fixed...

Sounds like it was working fine until you made the adjustment to "give more fuel when pushing the throttle and when the secondaries kick in", maybe that's what gave you the rich condition??

Good luck Peter, we're all interested to hear what you find!!

Thanks! The electric fans come mounted in a shroud that basically covers the entire core area. I do have the original shroud with the aux fan if anyone needs it though!

Thanks Andy, The color was a happy mistake actually. I was looking for something a little different so I ordered VHT's "Red Flame" metallic engine paint. When I got the paint, the cap was actually more of a salmon color, not the red I expected to see. I tried it anyway, and the cap was the...

Still plug'n away.... Got the Reflectix in the car, the engine bay mostly cleaned up (still have some work to do on the AC air box and the Master Cylinder/brake booster, but it's mostly done and I got the serpentine set up mounted. Had to fabricate the mounting brackets, but it wasn't to bad...

Hey, Peter, So, if I understand your problem correctly, the engine seems to be okay when cold, but stalls under a light load when warm? What happens when the choke is open? Maybe time to go back to basics. Check the timing, maybe use Cliff's "Tip in" procedure to see if your rich or lean...

I'd like to get $100 for the air cleaner alone, $150 for the entire set up. There are no cracks or tears in the ducts and the valves work in the air cleaner. The pump brackets, I'd like $75 for.

I do, but I'm using it on the big block. This'll be my first effort at modifing this type of carb, I used CLiff Ruggle's book and parts, he's a great source of info. Cliffs High Performance Quadrajets :: Qjet Carburetor Rebuilding, Bushing Kits and Parts Sensei on this forum also has a lot of...

Should be fine. BB and SB's mounted in the same place using on all Chevy's I can think of....

Thanks for the info, I hope between that and the insullation I've put in it should be okay. I'm looking forward to having a later generation A/C compressor in the system as well, that's what came with the serpentine set up. Looks like all the hoses are a direct fit too. The suction and...

No small project by any means! Based on what the underside looks like, it'll be good to see the interior and outside get the same treatment. Looking forward to following the progress!

Very nice!! What's the top side look like? :)

Thanks for the compliment! Got some more work done on it. I pulled the seats and carpet out, put "Reflectix" in floor from the firewall back. I want to try and keep some of the heat from the headers out of the car, and others have said this stuff works pretty well. I put it over the existion...

The place I got my parts from is CK Performance www.CKPerformance.com Chris has been very helpful, and from what I've been able to find out has a good reputation. I'll use him again. He has stuff for 200's, 700's, 350's, 400's, the entire line up. Another place I found for basic parts is...

You could probably strip the paint, polish the aluminium and use Shark Skin to protect it, if you like the bright work look. Personnaly, I like mine semi flat black poweder coated....

It'd probably be more cost effective to replace them with shorty or even full tube headers. The AIR tubes are stainless steel and welded in place. Additionally, the tubes go well into the "header" tube. You'd probably have to cut them off, drill them out and plug weld the holes. Plus you'd...
