    Too much cam...too little vacumn....

    The headlights and wiper doors will open slow, but out side of those problems you shouldn`t have too much trouble. I sucessfully use taller solid lifter cams than that on the street.

    Yeah baby...I'm BACCCCKKKKKKKKKK Flywheel question

    The flywheel is has 153 teeth. You could probably check GM Performance parts right over the Net for a price.

    Yeah baby...I'm BACCCCKKKKKKKKKK Flywheel question

    You could use the 15 lb. L88 flywheel GM #14085720 with the ID #3879623. designed specifically for the L88 10.4 clutch assembly. A very good choice as its the lightwight nodular iron internally balanced unit that reduces an engines rotationg inertia and quickens throttle response. Also being...

    What are these for (ebay link)

    They look more like a snubber bar that would fit C1`s, Camaros, ect. with leaf springs and not exactly for a IRS rear. They appear to be just another type of traction bar Larry.

    Engine Problem 327/365HP; Timing Chain ?

    A common problen is to substitute a R43 for the non existant 44`s. The first thing to do is to change the plugs from AC43`s to AC45`s. The 43`s are too cold for street driving and prone to fuel foul. It will probably suprise you how much cleaner it will run.:upthumbs

    Rubber In All Four Gears

    I would say it`s probably forseeable that anyone with a properly tuned high HP Vette with those skinny little OEM 670X15 tires with about 3 inches of tread on the ground could get rubber in any gear. But with a set of modern wider sticky tires it may substancially reduce this characteristic.:D

    Can I sue this shop?

    We repair all makes and models of cars and are one of a few places that will accept Vettes. A estimate is given and the customer agrees by signing the repair order. If they do not like the parts estimate, I tell them to get the parts and then bring the car in. Here are some of the problems...

    What mileage should I be getting?

    Milage 10 miles to the gallon is very poor. The combination has to be wrong. Some posts have indicated that the axle ratio will affect milage. True, but very little. My 61 315 hp FI car with with a 4.11 got 20 mpg at above highway speeds and the 62 FI 360 hp piece with a 4.56 gets 16 mpg. My 68...

    Did I just Fubar my Vette with Flowmasters?

    Most of the muffler shops can replace the converter with a replacement pipe. They can easily bend one up using the converter as a pattern.;)

    Advancing-retarding cam

    Advancing the cam improves bottom end and retarding the cam kills some of the bottom but improves top end. Nothing noticeable at idle. Best choice is straight up, 0.;)

    Braided Hose Never liked the stuff. I know that a person who ownes a Vette would like to make some nice appearing changes under a dull hood, but this is where you shouldn`t start. Your eyes are drawn to the hoses and most of the time they have kinks along the hoses. The first place a Judge will...

    Did I just Fubar my Vette with Flowmasters?

    Walker Dynomax Flowmasters come in several series styles. It is suppost to be a performance muffler however it does have an annoying tinny sound. The exhaust blasts against the baffels which is a construction method. With a performance engine I prefer the Walker Dynomax mufflers which are a...

    generator hookup?

    As to the carburator, the needle and seat may have a piece of dirt in it and as far as the generator, as long as no juice to it, it will just spin. Parts do warm up to engine temperature however.:upthumbs Your welcome, 270 cars are nice pieces;)

    fuel pump gaskets...

    pump gasket! We use 3 M weather stripping cement for most gaskets when replacing parts. Part # 08011 and 08001 Comes in yellow or black. Works well on valve covers, timing hardware, waterpumps, ect. Use very spareingly {if there is such a word} ;) Just glue the gasket to the part your...
