Sounds like it occurs in one gear. While bumping around underneath with a rubber mallet or a block of wood, look for slop in the shifter and links when in that gear.

I'm curious as to how you confirmed 3/8-24? You need an sae tap and die set and somebody who knows how to use it to save your new pins with a die and debur the brkt threads with a tap. If something won't screw together by hand at least a few threads, something is wrong. Anybody with an older car...

From your initial description, it sounds like the 1/0 cables do not go directly to the starter terminal and block/bell. The chassis ground connections should be through zinc washers with no paint insulating under them; just a little grease. Don't try grounding just through the edge of the hole...

I would make sure the push button shift cable on the trans is adjusted so the valve in the trans is in the right position when the button is pushed. It may just need some maintenance (fresh fluid and a quart of Lucas oil, filter, lube cables, band adjust, etc).

Run the battery neg to the block or bell. Leave the 2ga between the block and chassis. Which XS Power battery?

Rotate the plug wires one hole on the cap.

Again, carbon makes rubber and oem nylon lines black. Carbon is conductive. A static dissipater (SDA) is added to low sulphur diesels and jet fuel. Unlike fires at pumps when fueling cars (I will assume you've heard of that happening), nobody will see the hose arc and the car will not be put...

A static charge can build in the unlined hose away from the metal end fittings. Sufficient charge can arc through the hose wall to the braid that is the same potential as the fittings. A conductive liner prevents the static build up at a different rate than the fittings and braid, so there is...

I found commercial insurance for personal use based on a radius I select from a home base. Only persons listed on the policy can ride.

It looks like using a pan with a mid/front sump would allow a rear steer rack after swapping the knuckles around. Then the steering arms could be heated and brought down for less tie rod spacer, less anti-ackermann by placing the rack closer to the spindle, and much quicker steering with near...

When this was converted to HEI from points, how was it wired? Does it spark/run if a jumper is added to the HEI directly from the battery? When I converted a '69 442 'vert with a 455 to HEI in the '80s, I replaced the resistor wire in the harness and added a jumper from the R terminal on the...

Keep it in the glove box with the usb cord and a 12v and 110v charger adapter. Minimal $ plan from a third party contract provider. Only cut it on if YOU want to call somebody.

Same filter for both applications, right? Anneal the copper washer. Hang it on a steel wire, heat with a small, hand torch, then quench in water or oil. A ferrous metal with carbon typically would harden from quenching but nonferrous is generally softer than slower, air cooling.

Ditto on the pulley size. It looks undersized. A larger pulley has more belt grip area and provides more leverage to hold the shaft without slipping. It will also slow it down to typical alt rpm relative to the crank speed. I guess they used the tiny pulley to try and have better charging...

195-65-14 are slightly taller and easy to find. Fine for a 6 inch width.

You could also replace only the strap with new rubber strapping from a $5 universal hanger by grinding the rivets and fitting bolts.

A cheap digital camera is more useful than a phone for video. The carb video would tell us if you are fully pumping the carb. Does full travel at the pedal result in full throttle at the carb? If not, then you are not actually pumping as much as you think. Is the pump shot a strong stream or...

Morgan, the request was for a video of the carb during cold cranking, however the video you posted does not show any pumping of the throttle before engaging the starter. You could have a suzuki motor under the hood for all that we can see. You've been given much good advice but seem to debate...

I drive one about once a week like a rental. It has about 30k miles. A second of valve clatter from initial start up after sitting a week but no other issues. The back up camera is very useful.

A vented overflow tank can be as low as you want but the end of the hose from the radiator cap (or if the tank has a hole in the bottom) should be covered with coolant so it will siphon back into the radiator after it cools down (must also have the rubber seal in the radiator cap for that to...

The filter oil probably caused it. Obviously not cotton gauze like a k&n.

Ditto. The issue is the crap weld on the old brkt. Welds on the new brkt look very good.

If you work the throttle/accel pump as it is about to die, does it make a difference? You said you checked the fuel pressure but what is it just before it dies (run a tee with a 1/8npt port for a FP gauge and a short hose to plumb)? Timing light to watch flashing for spark timing changes or...

I would not change anything. Driving technique is a major factor. Very slow throttle changes to prevent added enrichment over what's called for at that point in the map. Parasitic loss is lowest at 1:1, so running a numerically lower axle ratio to work with 4th gear at cruise speed is more...

Approx 2 inches forward of a line down the center of the window glass channel

If that doesn't work out, you could make caps using washers cut from common flat strip with a drill and hacksaw and use washers to reach the new, short sleeve. Just need a smooth surface the full diameter of the bush to rub against and fill the gap.

"NO" connection without the vacuum hose connected bypasses the switch function entirely. This could have been done because the microswitch failed or just out of confusion. Move the connection to NC, connect the vacuum hose and it should function properly or you can test it first with a test...

They don't look bad in the pic; just surface rust to clean up on a bench grinder with a wire wheel if anything. I don't know where you would get new. It looks like the new sleeves are shorter and the washers fit over the ends so everything stacks up to the same height. The ends do not need to...

How about 190/180 on/off, 200/190 on/off?

There is no included inner sleeve? The B-body kit calls to reuse all metal parts. Do you have Energy pn 5.3132 or 5.3121?
