  1. Five years thats SOP. It takes that long to come to the top of the "todo" list
  2. I knew it would be a trek for CO but I was hoping he knew somebody closer to the car since he was semi local
  3. I agree, that sounds like a clearance noise. Start with valve lash first Then record again
  4. There have been cases of pickup tubes being bad and causing issues at less than full levels
  5. That was probably a pretty car in the original paint color
  6. Didn't we have a topic a couple of years ago of somebody wanting to repop these?
  7. The stock EFI doesn't like performance camshafts Also I doubt your camshaft is the main problem...

    So I did some measuring Current gear offset is .112 (2.84mm) With the case on and the shaft down as far as it will go the projection into the bellhousing is .110 (2.79mm) With it pulled forward for the snap ring the projection is .195 (4.95mm) The difference is .085 (2.16mm) so the gear offset appears to be .027 (0.69mm)?
  9. I am not the resident efi expert but I'm sure one will chime in. You seem to have hot a lot of the trouble areas already. If it were me I would rig up a fuel pressure gauge I could see from the drivers seat. I suspect your pressure is dropping off. If the pressure holds I would pull the injectors and do a flow test into cups
  10. Be careful running your starter that long! You can burn it up
  11. At least on my car, they need to clamp pretty hard to hold the panel in
  12. You need to put that next inspection on your calendar 1/1/2099!

    Your old schumacher is very similar to my old one except I had an auto switch down on the left

    I'm afraid your right. I may have to go shopping for a vintage unit. I wonder if my old unit can be repaired?
  16. I think the reproductions are stainless and very stiff. Would be hard to diy

    I think a lot of people feel this way. Vintage Schumacher's sell on ebay for as much or more than the new ones

    That's my concern about buying a roll around machine. I'm up for a couple of hundred bucks if it's gonna last but I don't like experimenting. Many of these machines only have a one year warranty. If it's a good machine you aught to be able to warranty it longer than that!
  19. I cant watch the videos either. Phone or laptop

    One of the reviews who had the diehard called Customer service. It went to Schumacher... It's on the internet, so it must be true! 😉
  21. Patcon replied to Patcon's topic in Shop Talk
    Evidently Schumacher makes the DieHard charger

    I have a jump box. A great tool to have around
