    speedo making noises

    not sure if this is the right forum, but... my speedo recently started doing this crazy bouncing back and forth and making a buzzing/grinding/whirring noise. it's intermittent. it usually starts if i go over a harsh bump at freeway speeds, and stops if i pull to a stop or just beat on the...

    bent pushrods?!?! wtf!!

    slant had been running poorly, really loud ticking, loss of power, rough idle, etc... monday i opened the valve cover to see what was up, and rod for intake #5 was bent pretty bad. i couldn't think what caused this, i haven't revved the motor past 3500 rpm, haven't had any backfires since...

    Vacuum Diagram

    Spark Plugs

    couple questions about plugs. got the ngks (zfr5n), gapped them to .040, pulled the washers off. seemed to run well. after about 300 miles i pulled them to see how they're holding up. it looks like #1 is getting oil on it/burning oil. maybe bad valve seal, but it looks like there's oil...

    well, reset lash at .020 intake .024 exhaust, set idle at 700 rpm. runs like a Champ!! smooth idle, pulls hard, feels great, and no noticeable valve clacking! didn't get it too fast though. when pulling to a stop, the revs drop kinda low, stumbles slightly. got the day off tomorrow, so i'll...

    valve lash for big mp cam?

    yeah, stock stall converter. i should have swapped that out while engine was out. just wasn't sure exactly what i should be looking for as far as stall speed. commando, by mechanical you mean solid lifters? if so, yes. i sure don't wan to damage the valvetrain, so wider they go. it's just...

    i've got my passenger side sitting lower than drivers, went out to adjust it today. my manual says to make the adjustment with wheels on the ground. also, after changing height, the final adjustment needs to be in the up direction. any truth to that?

    should there be a bolt for the harmonic damper?

    should there be a bolt for the harmonic damper?

    pulled the slant a couple of days ago, and started disassembling. noticed that the crank snout has threads in it, but no bolt. is this only for placing a bolt to press on the damper? should there be a bolt/washer combo to hold the damper on? i've had the car for several years now, and as far...
