Sorry, but you misunderstood me. I never said wanting efi on your car doesn't make you a car guy. I said "if your on this forum you are a car guy" Meaning you probably have no problem tuning a carburetor once and awhile. If your like me, working on the car is just as enjoyable as driving it. I...

I think too many people think an aftermarket EFI is the same as the very reliable, robust, and perfect system we all have in our daily drivers. Their not! All the major auto companies are worth billions of dollars. They spend millions and millions and millions of dollars getting every engine...

Quaker State makes one that is really small in diameter. I got one once out of necessity and honestly thought it was wrong when I got it out of the box it's so skinny. Sorry no part # if I find it I'll post it up.

Glad it was an easy fix for ya! I’ve been a plumber and gas fitter for a little over twenty years and can tell you you are definitely on borrowed time with that heater. But at least now you can phone around and get some quotes on a new unit.

Ok now let's get down to trouble shooting this! It's easy if I'm right in thinking it's a intermittent pilot system which was very common 20 years ago. First get out your multi meter and set to volts a/c.if you don't have a digital one we are going to be looking for 24v a/c so set your range...

This is what I was talking about. The pressure switch proves the fan is running. To me it sounds like the fan is constantly running unless he unplugs it. So it's trying to light the main burner but will not until the switch closes. Causes are debris in orifices at the pressure switch but most...

Make sure the pressure switch hose and orifices are clear. They can get clogged with debris not allowing the switch to close when the fan is running.

I totally agree that nowadays it doesn't make much sense. Like I said it was just a thought that popped into my head why nobody ever did. But as RustyRatRod pointed out I guess someone did.

RustyRatRod shared a link! Pretty Cool!

Sorry this is something that popped into my head. and nowadays there would be a very small market for them given the cylinder heads available and what most people are looking to get out of them. Basically the small block mopar was first a hemi engine, then turned into the poly engine. That's a...

Yup. We never change our clocks.

Soooo. I put a low mile '88 "roller cam" motor in a 69 I have. The 2bbl carb was leaking and I had a good 600 edelbrock I wanted to put on. I also had a 318 streetmaster kicking around i got for nothing. So I stuck that suckered on there threw a small cam in it and????????? Unfortunately no 11...

I would think a stock LA bypass hose could still be made to work. Their only a couple bucks pick one up and give it a shot.

Looks good to me. Nice work!
