    [WANTED] Thermovalve/Vacuum switch

    Thats actaully a vacuum amp; Its like a transistor for vacuum applications. 3 ports: manifold-sense-out.....Small amount of vacuum goes into sense line (such as ported vacuum off the carb) and that opens the port for full manifold vacuum to the OUT devices, such as an EGR valve. Some EGRs can...

    [WANTED] Thermovalve/Vacuum switch

    In need of a thermovalve or ported vacuum switch, whatever Ma called it. Its usually on the intake or even the radiator of a 70s Mopar or anything else. 3/4 hex NPT with 2 ports, orientation is not important. It opens after 165F or some random engine warm temp to activate EGR or Evap or even...

    Radiator or engine off center?

    They have to line up the rear pinion with the output shaft so what's cheaper: 2 different motor mount brackets and a plastic shroud or 2 different axle sizes and 2 different axle tube's?

    Need Help! Big Block electric water pump to engine plate information.

    How about a Banjo fitting instead of a 45? F the flow rate , your probably getting more that enough with that pump and you not floating bearings your only supplying enough to form a hydrodynamic wedge

    Early A-body Header Manifesto

    Hooker race headers modding for narrow A. 1.85" od runners 3" collectors. You need to cut and weld almost all the runners to shoe horn into narrow A but the bones are there. Huge ports and runners probably high winding 340 or stroker class. FYI my Hooker SC 5208's (?) were drilled 318 port size...

    Gas expanded and overflowed over night?

    Quite a few Early A's had that racing stripe. Iirc the vent tube is visible in the trunk, follow up the filler and it loops out the top to a drip tube that goes down under the trunk floor. I have to fill up with the pump nozzle inverted her in CA as we have some vapor lock nozzles that wont pump...

    O2 sensor log reading, help!

    Not really classic Mopar related unless you took the dive into EFI but Im flummuxed on my 2012 Chrysler T&C O2 sensor live data. I had a B2S2 (front post cat downstream sensor) heater circuit fail and a few other 02 related faults so I replace the one B2S2, then got the same results so I thought...

    Elect Ign Distributor Output LOW?

    KitCarlson I believe I found my issue after all, and it had nothing to do with ignition! The damn intake gasket was bad (new!) as it was leaking out the bottom where I could not shoot carb cleaner into to alter the idle quaility. Once I got that replaced the idle quality perked right up and I...

    Elect Ign Distributor Output LOW?

    Reading this again makes me wonder about my other ignition, Mazda B2000 w/electronic distributor. Kinda the same issue: I got a wandering vacuum guage from 19-23, it just lazily goes up and down while the 4 banger idles like a diesel. I shot carb cleaner everywhere and no vacuum leaks, RPM is...

    EGR question

    Thanks AJ, I understand all that and made sure everything was working as designed as I chose inadvertently to be a slave to this California smog state by attempting to get this 82 truck back on the road. I searched for 5 years to get all NOS smog crap on this with only the amp not replaced. All...

    EGR question

    Thats how its wired right now, but when I put the vacuum gauge on the vacuum amp EGR output, I get an instant pop of high vacuum off idle, perhaps that mysterious vacuum amp is bad? Interesting note on my Weber DFT from the smog police here in CA is documented exactly where to drill the EGR port...

    EGR question

    Yeah, that's how its supposed to run but even warm and "armed" it will generate a flat spot off idle as both EGR and purge control valves open at same time and create what is in essence 2 vacuum leaks. Its obvious on the smog test roller when they ease into the throttle for the 15 and 25MPH load...

    EGR question

    My.Mazda has mechanical EGR as most cars did in the early 80s. Simple: EGR is run off the ported vacuum. You crack the throttle, the ported vacuum would start to develop and the EGR would start to open gradually with increased engine speed. Some were run through a thermovalve so they would not...

    worst motors of all time

    Correct. I looked at a few pics and none looked like what she had. I think she had the stock floating bolsters but the buns were definitely not stock.

    worst motors of all time

    Magneti Marelli....uh look under the hood of any new Mopar, yup....same company! They also made Edelbrocks Pro-Flow 1-2 gen EFI controllers. I literally had a MM toggle switch in my hand and it didn't work. The spring broke in half! I replaced it and then the contact fell out, just ****......

    worst motors of all time

    We had a 96 Breeze 2.0 motor. Ran like a watch but the auto trans sucked. It was literally a ticking time bomb as when you put it in gear the trans servos would tick fast like a buzzer. When it started to leak from a convertor seal we were quoted $1800 for a trans seal. We let it leak and then...

    worst motors of all time

    Sister had a $600 Fiat 850 spider, cute car, sucked! She bought new pistons and "Tony" never machined the raw cast tops to fit the head so it hit the valves. He replaced all of them under warranty and she sold it a month later. A week after she sold it she saw it burning on the side of the local...

    Dyson Fan repair

    The shorted line is actually under the bottom plate but it will burn right at the entry point and you need to get in there to properly splice it.

    Dyson Fan repair

    HP04 oscillating fan with heater function and air filters. Its the weird Edsel grill looking fans for home use. If you can find one with no power , smell the bottom plate where the power cord goes in for burn odor. If you can smell burned plastic or rubber, the cord where it bends for the...

    Static tire balancer, make some mandrel for hub size and center cap of your rim and buy a bullseye level. Center the golf cleat and set into cup of pushrod. Stack pennies on edge to balance. Weigh the stacks and apply the stick/clamp on weights and check for bubble up. Worked better than a...

    My mom wants an electric lawn mower. Any reccomendations?

    I had an old 24v 500w mower that would bog hard on basic grass, i hope they got better. I took the motor out and put it in my kids Razor scooter, it rips at twice the rpm of the old 250w motor.

    Nipple removal

    Would work on larger ones, novel idea! Span one wrench over side of nipple and then hook it with another and pull across the part. Nipple may slightly crush and break free.

    CHEAP people....let's see your stories about those frugal folks that were smart or really annoying!

    I save pretty much every PCB and rechargeable battery pack I come across out of scrap electronics and spend leisurely hours in the garage with the stereo on, heat gun going and pliers pulling out anything that will come out of those boards component wise. I got a pretty good collection of...

    Are the Cragar SS wheels the best looking option for 1967-70 Darts?

    post 32, 50, 56 and maybe 60 are the only SS pics? Yeah, that shows they are not really that popular. I see quite a few Radirs , torque thrusts, and other non chrome 5 spoke that look much better than the thick 14 cragar SS's. I like the satin Centerlines for a modded look and the Rallyes for...

    DIY static balancer using 3D printer

    All those pennies balanced it and that was with the original weights on from a previous dynamic balance. I must have lost some weights as it was smooth for about a day and then started flaring up at 55-63 mph and would smooth out past that. I stripped all the old weights off it and got it down...
