EPA Says VW Intentionally Violates Clean Air Standards | Fox Business :chuckle I kinda admire them for trying! ;)

My focus the last few months has been around the improvement. Fuel pressure is good... spark tables are good... VE was good. All the major stuff is good. No, now it's down to the small things. Ah.... but the small stuff is important too- because enough of them added together makes a big...

Jim- I assume you have removed the anti-tamper plug from the driver's side TB unit and cut the spot weld on the adjustment screw cap for the passenger side TB, right? Have you capped the other vacuum ports off while setting up the manometer? Perhaps you have a leak on one of those. Or how about...

Check Ebay. Looks like they have some Vortec TPI bases available. :thumb 3817 Hi-Flo TPI Vortec Intake Manifold Edelbrock 3817 Hi Flo TPI Vortec Intake Manifold | eBay If it were me... I'd consider using the Pro-Flo intake, fuel rails, and throttle body instead. With a cam that has a 2k-6k...

:beer Coming soon... custom 140 mph speedometer and custom tachometer with the correct redline for my '82s engine. Both have the '82 specific crossed flags. The tach's red line is 5,500rpm- right where I shift from 1-2 at 5,450rpm. :upthumbs

Yes- Vortec heads will fit your engine, provided you use a Vortec specific TPI base like the one you mentioned above. However, there is a limit on the lift for the cam though. I think Jegs and Summit specify the lift limit as .475".

Bill- yeah, that's where it gets really confusing. Several sources I have read indicate the 140mph unit was a factory piece for 1978s and available up until mid/late 1979. I was looking for the RPO for those years. 1979 Chevy Corvette - Vette Magazine...

Mikey... Both of us are saying the same thing- 87 is fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My personal thoughts having gone through a lot of learning about tuning over the last year and some change... is that GM sets their OEM spark maps for iron heads fairly conservative. I believe- but have not confirmed 100% by seeing it with my own eyes- the '84 Vette spark map would look almost...

...ARISE FROM THE DEAD, OLD THREAD! :chuckle Does anyone know what the RPO was for the 140mph speedometer? Just curious as to what option/RPO allowed for the 140mph speedo versus the 85mph unit. It's my understanding that GM succumbed to the Feds in late '79 and the 85mph speedo became...

Congrats on the sale... :thumb I'm closing this thread since the item has been sold.

You can run without baffles. :) I had a '94 LT1 that ran full rockers back in the 90s with no baffles. I had to remove them to clear the rockers. Sounds familiar, huh? :chuckle The downside is that you might get more oil into the breather/PCV system.

That's good to know- sounds like your 10 year old injectors may be the problem then. Used injectors can be questionable- so I would assume injectors not fired in 10 years could be highly questionable. If you have voltage when you should and the lines are pressurizing, then it sounds like the...

If I remember correctly... to get a voltage on the injectors at their terminals... it must be running or at least turning. Also- the fuel injectors won't open up unless there is oil pressure and the engine is running if I recall. That's to prevent it from creating a fire hazard where the...

I second that! :thumb KYKID- If you have fuel and then you don't... it sounds like its a fuel pump issue. Not enough voltage or a defective pump. Since it has been a while- and sat a while where seals, gaskets, and things could dry out- I'd suggest rebuilding the pressure regulator and the...

Whoops! Yeah, its been a while since I had a C3 with driver and passenger manual sliders. :chuckle Apologies for any confusion. Anyway, here is an image of a set of seats where the sliders are on the same side. 1979 82 C3 Corvette Seats Seat Buckets and Seat Tracks Red | eBay That should...

So... I've adjusted a total of 50 different tables, sclars, and flags from a factory BIN file. TBI units Oh- and added larger bore TB units. I'm at a little under 2" now (1.92"). Governor I dialed in the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift. Using a B&M purple spring and an orange spring on factory...

Thanks! Which reminds me... time to post an update. I'll get to that in a little while. But the regulator- that's an easy mod. You'll need to remove the driver's side injector assembly with the pressure regulator. Then, take the four screws out of the pressure regulator housing. Then knock out...

No problem! Yeah, I thought about adding something about that. But then I got side tracked. :chuckle The driver's side slider will have the adjuster lever facing inwards towards the right while the passenger side will face towards the left. The slider without an adjuster can be used on either...
