Does your odometer work? How about your cruise control? Fuel mileage? If those work (as you implied), the problem is in the electronics of the digital module. Batee.com is a good source for repair. :w

My mistake. The gasket IS there! Had to look quick! :thumb

Sorry, but your arguments haven't proved anything. There's one right way, and seven wrong ways to do it! The point that you have illustrated to a bunch of people on this forum is that you don't care about attention to detail. It's so easy to do it right, why do it wrong? Even the video missed...

Boy, does that give me the giggles!!! Counterclockwise??? What does that have to do with an L98 Corvette??? As they say, "Don't try this at home, folks"!!! :happyanim:

Vettehhead, I like your diagram, but that doesn't agree with your statement that the #1 wire can be anyplace, and the wiring will still come out clean. Looking at your Impala diagram, with #1 "pointing" at spark plug #2, the wire for #1 crosses over the centerline of the distributor on its way...

Are you saying there are no timing marks on your harmonic damper? I don't think I can believe that. The link in post #6 is the right way to do it. Yes, the engine can be made to run if the rotor is in the wrong orientation, but why be so lazy that you do it wrong? That will also make it...

Steven, you should start a new thread rather than throwing your question into GaryC4's question. It gets really confusing when there are two different topics in the same thread. Answers to Gary's question should be related to his topic "Crossfire Injection Vault". :thumb

Be aware that changing to 1.6 ratio rocker arms will increase the load between the cam shaft lobes and your flat tappets. With today's "low zinc" motor oils, this may shorten the life of your camshaft. With a flat tappet camshaft you should be using API Grade SL motor oil, even if you have a...

Sorry, but that's the way they work. It would be nice if they worked your way, but they will only turn off when the battery goes dead! :w

DonB, your attempts to help are appreciated, I'm sure, but your '90 headlights and the electronics are entirely different than ghr4news' '86. The '84-'87 headlight motors have limit switches inside the motors which should shut off the motors when they reach the end of their travels. These...

I thought you said you have a good mechanic! Was the 50 wt. oil PLUS STP(!!) his idea? You don't even know what's wrong with the engine, and you're talking about pulling the engine? You need to find some GOOD help! :w

Pretty hard to guess what the noise is, based on your description! Is your friend a competent mechanic? If he is competent, he will do some further exploration before he tears the engine apart! If he suspects valve/lifter/cam problems, he will start with a compression check, then will...

So ghr4news, which forum gets your vote? :w

That's an indication of bad gears in the headlight motor. If that was a "new" motor only a year ago, somebody did you wrong! If they put in new gears, and called it a "new" assembly, they probably needed to replace the motor bushings, too, but didn't check them. I'd contact the place that...

I was astounded to see this!! I was going to ask what mods you've done to the car, then I noticed you're in Alberta! With a simple switch on the dash, I can impress my friends, too! :cool!:

Money.

See post #11 before you resort to any new parts. Easy and cheap. Inspect the brushes while you're in there. I've got 240,000 on my '84, and I'm quite sure my headlight motor brushes are original. gmjunkie knows his stuff, but I like to try the easy way first. :w

Even though the bar graph only goes to 85, the digital readout can go to 188 (maybe 199). I haven't tested that yet. :happyanim:

"flap on the carb", it sounds like you're talking about the "choke". You need to do some searching on "How does a carburetor work". You have a few things to learn about "old school" automotive mechanics. Well beyond the scope of this C4 forum, where everything has EFI. Enjoy!

Love the color of your new 'vette! Enjoy it! I'd suggest you forget about returning the car to the CFI system. That would be an absolutely HUGE project, and if not done right, the car may never be driveable again! I would suggest that you do put the front wheels on the correct sides of...
