    News: A/C switch lessons - early C4

    Here's what I learned: My '84 is an early production, Z51 car; January. HotRodRoy's is a month later. The A/C in mine has been inop and mostly removed for years as mods were done, then refined. Recently, things went so well, under ZFDoc's care, that I had new A/C components sent to him for...

    Important! High oil pressure does not equate to good oil flow

    A good read, IMO, and perhaps correcting a common misperception.. I always learn something from HotRodRoy, who stopped by for a look and the inevitable chat. One topic was oil viscosity. A professional mechanic pal of mine said they oft use 10W60 synthetic in newer (Teutonic) cars that are...

    Review: no fuel pfress change; parts seem ok

    no fuel press change; parts seem ok Odd issue, here, which may be a sticky diaphragm in the FPR (non-adjustable). -Fuel pressure w/ vacuum hose pulled is proper; that vacuum reads 22psi; about right. -Using a hand vac pump attached to the FPR, it holds vac pressure perfectly, but but minimal...

    Brake Fluid paper, by Chem engr.

    I found this, from another place, to be interesting reading. Brake Fluid Facts, by Steve Wall As a former materials engineering supervisor at a major automotive brake system supplier, I feel both qualified and obligated to inject some material science facts into the murky debate about DOT 5...

    New member question

    Welcome. You found, arguably the nicest group of cars guys on any forum. An OP should move this post to the C3 forum, where there may be more attention and answers. As the sound varies with RPM it's likely related to the tach. AFAIK, you could unscrew the tach drive from the distributor and...

    Question: Vacuum connection, L valve cover area

    My car is setup like an '87, but with a '90 speed density ECM. I've found a few incomplete vacuum diagrams ('86 and '87) online, but there is no diagram anywhere on this car and I find no vacuum schematic in the '84, '87 or '90 FSMs. The aluminum tube, bolted to the intake manifold, adjacent...
