62 olds 88, power brakes (stock) and drums all around. I've bled the MC and brakes twice but the pedal doesn't come back up in any hurry. Have...
Bump for the afternoon crowd...
Need to swap the windshield glass on my parts car to my build. Anyone know a trusted glass guy in Toronto that could come by and do it for me? Car...
Like it a lot, especially the mobile site. My one gripe (besides the conversations) is that the serif font doesn't look 'clean' at least not in...
Great video, NAS!
Mostly Outlaw Country on Sirius XM. Via their mobile app and thru the 80's amp & speakers on my garage shelf. Also, baseball broadcasts....
Awesome photos and accompanying short film. Organizing the 1st officially sanctioned drag race in Cuba since the Revolution....
I got my Kline crimpers @ Home Depot here in Canada. Huge improvement over using the ones on the wire strippers. :eek:
Ok, I reversed S and P and the light is off now. The idea was not to use a simple switched source like the wipers to run the electric choke...
I'm going to go out there and check everything again and report back. Interesting about the SIP, I may have reversed the S and P terminals somehow.
I wired up my electric choke like in the attached diagram. Now my oil pressure light is constantly on (key on or off). Using a Rebel Wire kit....
There is a diagram for that steering column in either the 61 or 62 Olds service manual. You can download a complete service manual for that...
No indication on the alternator itself, but here's an article that explains the differences with pics of the 10si vs. the 12si...
I'll go look at mine.
Look for a 10si. You should be tripping over them in the junkyard. Suggest keeping the 3 wires. Here's a good tech article on why:...
Wow, lots of people bitching and moaning that they're such experts - how could someone even have the nerve to ASK A QUESTION ON AN INTERNET...
You were right. :( The two gaskets were practically fused together. So it's not the filter, it's me.
Might be the angle. I sure didn't get that impression yesterday when I pulled it (it really seemed like one piece that was coming apart), but I'll...
Will take a look when I get home and take a couple more pics. If you're right that'll be a lesson to me.:eek:
The oil I used was just plain 'ol Shell Rotella Diesel oil. Used the diesel oil cause I knew the engine would sit a while and I figured the extra...
It was over a year ago since I installed it, but my normal procedure is to put a little oil on the gasket and some copper anti-seize on the...
So after struggling over the past week or so to get the Olds 394 to fire (problems were bad coil and 180' out of TDC), it finally runs and then...
I would maybe use that Peel-n-seal stuff in my trunk. This is also cheaper than Dynomat (I used it and it...
Just paid $65 for a NAPA brand 'premium' coil. What a ripoff. I wouldn't care about the prices here if UPS & FedEx stopped their brokerage fees....
