Never mind, Rock Auto has them and I have store credit to burn. At first I thought they weren't the same as OEM, but then I looked again and they seem identical. Close enough anyway.
I need a window crank handle for 74 Swinger (unless it can be fixed?). @limegreen70 is selling some (ad here) but his inbox is full. I need the one with the tapered grip.
Not Mopar but I trust y'all.
My 2006 Odyssey started making a whining or whistling noise. It doesn't start until after 20 minutes of 65-70mph driving. It stops momentarily when my foot is on the brake, and it stops when I am changing lanes to the right. It goes away when I slow down.
Ideas?
I set the idle at 750 (in Park) per the 1974 fender sticker. I realize that might not be optimal in the current build, with modern fuel etc, but I don't know of any reason to change it. Anyway, it's been running well for the last couple of weeks. There's still a slight hiccup when it's idling...
I was going by this article: Super Six
And also this post: exhaust size - Slant Six Forum
I agree that the manifold outlet is the same size as the outlet on my 1974 manifold. I assume the designers thought it was worth using a larger pipe even though they didn't enlarge the manifold outlet.
Yeah, I'll assume it's the flash circuitry. The pickup and trigger circuitry is working, at least as far as the tachometer portion because it reads RPM just fine. It just doesn't flash.
Looking for a replacement flash tube, I found a page on toolsource.com where (1) the tube is discontinued and (2) it says don't bother replacing the tube:
So maybe I'll just use this one as a tach and get a new one for timing.
Has anybody replaced the strobe in a modern timing light? I have an Actron 7529 (made by Bosch), inductive timing light with dial-back and tachometer. The light quit working, so it still reads RPM but can't be used for timing. I asked the manufacturer how to get a replacement strobe, and they...
The shop manual actually does say if none of the troubleshooting reveals the problem, then change the ECU.
NGK plugs are popular on slantsix.org. Some like the ZFR5N in particular because of the longer extension into the cylinder. But others don't like that. I don't think I noticed any...
This weekend I replaced the NGK 7-series spark plugs with hotter 5-series plugs. I also reset the distributor reluctor gap to 0.008". Of course while doing that I also disconnected and reconnected a lot of things. And while reading out voltages last night, I swapped out my ballast resistor...
I got out my multimeter and did the tests in the service manual. You're supposed to use a special test box, but it tells you what to do if all you have is a multimeter.
Disconnect the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) 5-pin connector.
With key on, engine off:
- Cavity 1 in the connector should be...
