Check the air regulator. The electrical plug at the end likes to come unglued. That and Cold start valve... steve77 -
So I'm just driving down the road, minding my own business, and BAM! there's this fenced lot with a Z in it...and then another and more....How do you find out who owns a piece of property. No names, no signs or nothing... I stood on my lumber rack to get this pic...I counted 8... And there's a couple more over here... steve77

Hey, you think you got problems? Here on the Central Coast of CA we still get 'winter gas' even though the temp never goes below 50 most of the time. It is often 70 or 80 here for good stretches during the 'winter'. This stuff vapourizes at the drop of a hat! Thank God for electric fuel pumps. Just turn the key to 'on' and listen until the bubbles hit the tank (blub-blub-blub-blub) and hit the ignition. steve77

Yeah, I just got new exhaust too--all straight thru and a test pipe. I get the pop-pop-pop-pop on decel too. Not too loud most of the time, but if I come off an offramp and drop it into 3rd, it gets a bit more 'pronounced'. I always thought it was just unused fuel burning in the exhaust system too....nothing too dangerous. I have heard with a straight-thru system you can actually get some flame out the butt at night!!!! I know this is the tail end of the thread and will probably never get answered, but if unused fuel igniting in the exhaust system is 'backfiring', what is ignition through the intake system called? You know, from messed up timing or other things? The old 'flame out the carb. I always thought that was backfiring. That is the truly dangerous kind, right? Another question....The old 'shut off the ignition and turn it back on' backfiring, where is that igniting at? steve77

I am guessing the vast majority on this site are carbies, and probably a fair chunk of you do not have EI...BUT...since this is a very cool site and will soon be THE place for 1st gen's to hang out, I will ask anyhoo... Car runs really really good. Sent it in for a valve adjustment and general systems going-over (there are some things I don't do!) and mech says vacuum advance is not operating. Is this why it won't pull below 3000? So I start checking around...Here's the question: I think this might be a good time to change the whole disty. I don't want to create any problems though. I want something designed for the car. Something that requires NO modification to the factory EFI or EI systems. Something that will operate flawlessly with both the factory setup or a 6A and hot coil. Basically I don't want any bugs. I know there are several available. Any suggestions? Pros or cons? steve77

All removed from my '77: Exhaust mani (off N47) with Y tube Air box Upper and lower grilles Fender-mounted A/c relays Temp (compact) spare tire (never used, no can) Sheet metal pieces that go inside (under) the hood vents A/C throttle control valve Fan shroud SOLD Stat housing Belly pan SOLD Radiator--Stock--3-row I believe, has what I assume is a small hole in one of the tubes. Only leaks when very hot. Barrs will pretty much control it most of the time. Rad Shop said they would just pinch off that tube. I bought a new one. Everything is free to good home. I am near San Luis Obispo in CA. You pay UPS ground shipping plus 50% of shipping cost for packaging.

Are the 'hurricane' wheels in the original pic also known as 'turbine'? GAWD, they are everywhere...I have an extra set, a friend of mine has several sets, down the road there are 8 or 9 parts cars and at least half of them have them... steve77

Somebody make this thing go away! Please! I have done searches and research in vBulletin and phpPortal and can't come up with anything. I have gone over my preferences also. Either it is something totally obvious we are overlooking, or something is messed up somewhere. I even tried inputing ever password I have ever used along with 'Save Password' , and it doesn't say anything about invalid password, it just comes back next time you change pages. If you click 'cancel' it goes away for a little longer. It is making this otherwise great site very unenjoyable. steve77

The New Danish Inn LOVE this group and are happily welcoming us. I have told them how much we enjoy meeting there. For this event, I need to give the restaurant some idea of how many are attending.
