    Backfire through carb

    Hey thank you for the reply and info. I appreciate your time. I did do everything on your list except the fuel pressure. Visually the throttle bodies look as if the fuel supply is plentiful. Someone mentioned that the intake gasket might come loose under the center plate on the intake...

    Backfire through carb

    Thank you for the response. I just did a compression test and all cylinders were close. The heads were my first thought. Someone mentioned a piston pin. I'm probably going to pull the heads and have them resurfaced. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Backfire through carb

    Thanks for the reply.... I'm old school with the carb description. :) I was thinking it would be serious as in gasket. Do you know a formula for checking. Visually it looks good. Thank you so much Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Backfire through carb

    My 82 C3 with crossfire injection is popping through the carb. It runs smooth during idle and low acceleration, but under torque or high rpm the engine runs rough and shows a compression backfire with no flames through the carb. My thought... intake gasket, lifter, head gasket. Any...

    Computer reset.

    I have made allot of good changes to my C3 engine in the last couple of weeks. Should I disconnect the battery to perhaps reset the on board computer/processor? Thank you Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

    No cruising with control

    The switch was physically there. The vacuum side of the switch leaked and the electrical contacts created a short. The unit looked original from 82 Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

    No cruising with control

    Thank you for the reply. I did replace the switch with the electrical contact for the disengage. I checked it and it is properly working through the wiring diagram. Now I'm checking the cruise brake release valve. I ran a vacuum check and it seems to lack the ability to hold pressure. I'm...

    Rear main seal

    Has anyone changed a rear main engine seal without removing the ENGINE? My concern is re installing the oil pump shafts correctly. Thank you Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

    No cruising with control

    Help. MY 82 c3 has never had an operating cruise control. The switch seems to work work via tester and the servo holds vacum. I did install a new transducer also. All hoses are going to the right areas. There is a small solenoid on the top of the transducer that someone mentioned that it is...

    82 carb rebuild

    I had the injectors off axis. There are 2 way that they can mount. It is like a 10 degree rotation offset. Everything came together after I made that change. Thank you for the response and suggestion. Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk

    The tops.

    Ok. ..here is my solution. I did use a razor blade to separate the vertical edges of the trim. The rest of the removal was done with a Dremel tool with a sanding drum. The compound was as hard as tire rubber. It took awhile but the results were good. Goo gone didn't do much because the...

    The tops.

    Thank you Bill. This adhesive has cured hard. It is so old that it is no longer pliable. I read an article on using Goo Gone to help restore it. That is my next step. I'll keep you updated and please let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thank you Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

    The tops.

    They are glass. I'm not sure if the inside is paint on the glass. Thank you Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk

    82 carb rebuild

    I just finished rebuilding my carbs on my crossfire. The vehicle starts and runs better but the rpm is holding around 1500. Even when the engine is up to temp. Any ideas please. Thank you Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
