LOL, yup did that. I knew what the answer would be, just wanted to hear it.
I had just finished putting an intake manifold on my 283, got it all torqued down. Then realized I had an old heater hose connection that I...
I have two vented caps in one of my valve covers, is that good, or do I need one in each. Thanks.
If I remove the crankcase breather in the valley, what would I do to replace it. It is too big in diameter and hits the manifold I want to use.
Anyone know the rpm range of a stock 283 sbc camshaft. Motor came out of a 1961 Biscayne. Thanks. [IMG]
I took the spacer out a while ago. Throttle shaft is fine, nice and tight, no movement. Idle mixture screws are only out 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 turns....
saltflats. The carb is perfectly level.
I knew I didn't have to remove the carb, but didn't want to make a big mess if it had fuel in it. Anyway, I just took off the bowl and it was...
Ok, back again, thought I had the problem solved, but.... Been a while since you guys helped me get this thing running, been working on the...
Got a link to that, I couldn't find it.
Ok, thanks. That clears it up for me. Appreciate everyone's help.
Ok, thanks. I'm not using the headlight or door switch, so I guess I can just use the red and black.
Still confused. Here's a little diagram. Two pole switch. One pole to 12v, other pole to red wire on light. Black wire goes to ground. Where...
Bought a dome light that has three wires. Hot, ground and zero. What is the zero line and where do I connect it? Thanks. [IMG]
Thanks Don, that's just what I'm looking for.
I thought about liquid nails but wasn't sure it would hold up in the heat.
I need to bond some wood furring strips to the fiberglass interior of my C cab. Anyone know of a good spray on glue or any other good method to...
Ok, update finally. Replaced the gaskets in the tunnel ram, ditched the spacer and put a new gasket under the carb. Still can't get the idle...
I really don't think it was idling, but that's as low as I could get it and still have it run on its own. If I turn in the idle mixture screws...
Did a vacuum test today and it wasn't too bad, although the idle is still fairly high, right around 1000 rpm. Tested two ports off the carb, only...
Had no time today, so tomorrow need to check the idle vacuum and also verify if there are any leaks. Tony - The tunnel ram is really for the...
Saltflats - Stock cam. caton 462 - I need to check for vacuum leaks, haven't done that yet. DrJ - Idle speed screw is barely touching the...
Fuel pressure is around 8-9 psi. 194 heads with all new valves, springs, guides. New plugs and Mallory Unilite distributor, timing is at 8 btdc
I have a holley 600 cfm carb on a sbc 283, with a single four barrel tunnel ram and a 2" spacer. Seems to run ok off idle, but as soon as I let it...
Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it. Tomorrow the 283 heads go on. I'll update this thread once I get it running, should be by the...
So you think going with the 283 heads with the smaller CC's would be the way to go. Thanks for the help.
Both heads look exactly alike, there are two shorter bolts. The reason I am questioning the push rod length is because I had to really loosen up...
The heads on my motor came off a 68-69 307 sbc. I have a set of heads from a 63-67 283 that are completely rebuilt, all new valves, springs,...
Anyone have any idea what these floor mats came out of. [ATTACH]
Got it, the second pic was too big, kept getting rejected.
