Im having an issue with my limited slip when my tires spin it always kicks me sideways I believe I have one side slipping more than the other. I got to dig into that eventually
Weird. I see manifold + gaskets in the photos, and the description at the top of the page is "Volvo Penta Exhaust Intake Manifold with Gaskets and Bolts".
I find it hard to believe that you can increase the cubes of a slant six by almost 100 cubes. That is 1/3 bigger.
3.6 bore (.200 oversize) x 5.0 stroke (.875 oversize) will only give you 305 cubes.
Initial Advance - engine at idle and vacuum advance plugged
"all-in" - vacuum advance still plugged, increase engine RPM until timing stops increasing. This is where you want 32-36ish. I'll add, this is the combination of initial plus mechanical advance from the weights in the distributor...
Me too. In the next week or so I might head out to Radar's shop and chat with hom about it. I an curious more than anything but the more info I have the easier it is to sell the car. I would love to have it but I would need to sell one of mine.
Correct. You also need to plug off the hose going to the distributor while you're checking timing or it will leak vacuum and possibly throw off your measurements.
“All in” timing is initial plus mechanical with some kind of curve that references RPM. vacuum advance is added on top of all in timing usually for cruise economy and the rate it comes in, as well as when it starts coming in are adjustable.
Okay so just that I’m clear. I should keep carb vacuum hose disconnected and rev to 3000rpm. This should then be 32-36deg and after hooking up to distributor pot it should be 57deg at 3000rpm. What are those two terms called? I might have to search a video as I’m now confused.
People have filled until the oil drools out the fill plug hole for decades, but that's actually incorrect and could lead to an overfill situation. The factory service manual has a spec for the quantity of gear oil to fill it with. That's what I would follow.
I want to redo my trunk pans because I didn't really figure out the welding process/ clamping-screwing down panels to the frame but I think I can save them.
I discovered there's a headlight circuit breaker inside that switch in my 65. After installing the new one.
Back to the original with the imperfect dimmer and headlights that don't start randomly flashing
I have a used oil pan from a c-body that can be used as a a-body big block conversion. Has a few dents, but could be pounded out easily. Selling for $125 shipped or pick up in San Jose, CA
