Can anyone recommend an experienced crossfire mechanic in central FL (Polk county)? I'm having some issues with my 82 C3, very high idle (1,200 RPM's), and terrible knocking when I accelarate. She needs someone who knows crossfires to get her right. Thank you

That's what I've been told. The 350 has 109,000 miles on it and I would not be surprised if it needed new rings, valves, etc...If I'm going to have new heads put in, camshaft, etc...I might be better off with the 383, but from what's been written here it can only go in with a stock intake and...

Started tracing the vacuum lines yesterday and found one right on the manifold, fixed it but there must be others as it had no affect on the idle whatsoever, still at 700 to 1000. thanks to all of the great information you all provided I decided not to go with the stroker but rather to go with...

Man, that's a lot of options to consider, thanks so much, you've obviously done your homework on this. Those were very interesting articles, I can't imagine my car having that type of horsepower and torque...geeeeesss Louise, my wife would never get me out of the car! The various conversions...

Great I'll check all of those out, you don't know how much I appreciate the advice, :beer...you're awesome, thank you

I idle at 7,000 RPM's however it fluctuates and goes as high as 10, not too often but sometimes, I guess I can say that it is erratic, but more often than not once in warms up after about 10 minutes or so and it gets driven and is in gear it is at 7,000. My headlights, especially the one on...

thanks for the reply...the 383 stroker itself is $1,000 and whatever it costs to have it put in and or modifications that will be needed, so if I had to take a wild guess $2,000 to $2,500, it has no carb. If I can make modifications to what I have and get 300 hp at a much cheaper cost I'd be...

thank you for the reply. One of the reasons for the possible switch is to replace them and go with a carb. Everything I've read indicates that it will give me much better performance. As the car is now it is ok but I'd prefer a bit of get up and go.

Fantastic, thank you. :beer I'm looking to pick up a bit of performance and the TBI as you mention does not seem to fit the bill. If you don't mind another question, in your opinion would I be better off to switch the intake manifold to accept a 4 BB using the 350 rather than to go with the...

I have an opportunity to buy a 383 stroker to replace my existing 350. I have an 82 with crossfire injection and my question is have any of you done this exchange and do you know whether or not when everything is all said and done whether it will fit under the hood without having to replace it...

Stefan, Sure thing, I got it at the local chevy dealer and the GM # is 12102747 ACD# PT374. Happy New Year!

surely, I had to mount it where the valve faced in a different position than the original one, I also had to remove the rubber boot that is on the old valve for the vacuum hose connections and replaced it with rubber hoses to connect the tubing to the valve and lastly I had to also buy the...

yup it worked with a few modifications

;help I'm looking for some advice/help. My EGR CONTROL SOLENOID needs to be replaced. I have an 82 and cannot find one anywhere, when looking in years that are newer than 82 most of the years are the same part, so alas unavailable. The year where I see it is available is a 92 and it looks from...

I looked up to see if an 81 would fit and they don't, from what I can tell have a egr vacuum solenoid, the closest year that I can find one os for a 92, it seems similar and it appears that I may be able to modify it to fit, hopefully it will work. Thanks and have a great Holiday

Nope, went to NAPA it is no longer avialable, it has been phased out, back to square one...I'm looking to see if a later years will work, wish me luck.

Stefan, that's the part, awesome thank you...I'll go and order it today.

Wish it was Unfortunately it is not the part. I've attached a picture of the part which shows you what exactly looks like. But thank you for taking the time to look, I appreciate it.:thumb

This is the first part that I am having a hard time finding. I have an 82 with cross fire injection. The engine had been idling high all of the time at 1,000 rpms, I've got it down to about 700 after making what adjustments that I could, but to me it is still too high. You may know that with the...

cute grand kids nice to have grandkids especially when you spoil them and can send them homeafterwards when they get cranky...LOL
