Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Hi, couple of updates and yes got the datamaster working after some readings this morning and last night. To confirm Icarus-54 - The IC lines are fine. Coolant flowing as it should, pump pumping and hotwired on with ignition. Data files showing...

Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Hi! Reply Don W. - I dont have an extra coil...tossed the old one and have a 1 year old MSD...should be okay I'm hoping. I'll go double check the wire from the coil to the distributor today. Reply Icarus-54 - I'll double the coolant line routing...

Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Reply to berzerker, "did you change out the fuel pump wiring harness inside the tank ? my guess is the connectors are shot and build resistance as everything in the tank get warm . does the truck have the stock catylitic convertor on it ? this could...

Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Couple of replies, First for Don W. To - "Random thoughts: Any codes? Do you have a data logger, IE Datamaster? I'm thinking maybe a faulty intake air temp sensor. And/or water temp sending false data to ECM? High temp breakdown of ign module??" -...

Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Ahh...I forgot to mention...pulled the bed and replaced the fuel pump 2 summers ago with a Walbro from RPM...stock injectors...and 2 year old fuel filter. Issue predates fuel pump and filter swap. Keep in mind this is only when really hot outside...

Re: Dumb Question - and Longtime Goose Chase Yep, top dead center #1 is confirmed with brown wire disconnected. I couldn't get the timing to set steady with the timing light as it was slightly jumpy. Hence I confirmed top dead center with a piston stop from Summit and carefully hand turned...

Hi all (I love this forum but post rarely) Just want to confirm, a dumb question. Does the distributor take the place of a crankshaft position sensor? On our trucks no such sensor exists, is that a correct statement. Been chasing an issue for several years whereby the truck runs terrible on...

Re: Can't Set Timing - Unstable Notch Late reply. I meant to say, basically just "turned on the existing air condition unit".

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels Thanks for reply, sorry to reply late myself. So sound like you were able to trim the threads without issue using a hack saw and no new vibrations ....may do this myself to get my caps to fit on the old BMW rims up front, Thanks Jay!

Re: How many people have had their syty's catch on fire? I almost did today! Excellent thread, and something I never would have even thought about. I can see it now, over 20 years service, the steering bowl bolts loosening and ign switch getting out of sync...definitely something for the...

Re: Headliner Replacement Questions --- Hi Dave, Headliner is "757" in red crayon On the firewall behind the distributor is a "SYC 77 ... 01" I believe. The "01" has been rubbed some by the plastic wiring harness covering. I couldn't find anything by the water bottle or washer bottle. May...

Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels Looks awesome Jay!!! I like it. You may have done something that could help me, back a few thread ago you mentioned, "It looks like more of the threads on the spindle bolt would have to be trimmed off also" Did you have to do that to get the center Chevy cap to fit...

Re: Headliner Replacement Questions --- Thanks Dave :) Interesting to learn about VintageParts website, I didn't know that existed, and references to the clips P/N, all set from link above,

Re: Bmw Hi, I've run a set of OEM BMW rims (E46 M3 era) for a while, maybe 4 yrs. Biggest thing is getting offset to work when going with BMW rims. You want a "staggered" set, personal preference. Almost got a set of Hamanns H2's and the ideal offsets were Front - 38mm and Rear - 13mm. One...

Re: Headliner Replacement Questions --- This has been on my to do list for a while. Looks like the LMC option is still available and useable. Quick follow-up, does the LMC kit come with the clips for the front or should I get clips separately elsewhere? My foam crack about two years ago...

Re: barett jackson orange county sy http://classiccars.com/listing-214771/1991-gmc-syclone-for-sale-in-scottsdale-arizona-85260.html Could this have been it?

Re: Can't Set Timing - Unstable Notch Update - think we got it working! After trying a couple of more things I put the new distributor back in and went for DaveP's mechanical technique to set distributor without a light. I pulled #1 plug and set the crank to TDC and slowly turned the...

Re: Can't Set Timing - Unstable Notch Update, Got light replaced at Advanced. Same problem with new light, jumpy timing mark. The RPMs do fluctuate at idle, i.e slight rough idle 690-740 rpm, so I'm wondering if that's what's throwing off the light/notch, Figure I'll try and use the method...

Re: Can't Set Timing - Unstable Notch Hence: I determined that the balancer has NOT slipped. I pulled out #1 plug and attempted to find TDC by eyeball, light, dowel, and a then gave in and bought a piston stop nearby at Summitt for $10. I turned crank from both directions and found TDC to be...

Re: Can't Set Timing - Unstable Notch Got some good info from above posts and via a PM from DaveP. Dave's note guided me to - "First off, I think you're using the wrong mark on the ring. It is the second one to go by. In other words, when the second one lines up with the notch, the first one...
