Mckrack Posted July 17, 2007 Share #13 Posted July 17, 2007 E I read the link you provided and due to my attention deficit disorder I am glad the shop took the hood and gently pushed laterally on it and it fixed the problem. As mentioned I suppose recommending that procedure might not be the most professional approach. I wish I had that link. I would have copied it and given it to the guy and come back the next day.

mars23z Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share #14 Posted July 17, 2007 My car is a manual the only mods are a 6 into 2 header and exhaust and I use roundtops. Now as I said they worked great on the L26 but when they were on my L26 I removed the dashpot could that effect how they perform on the L28 in the way I am describing? Other then that Iam very happy the L28 doesnt smoke and it has lots of power, but I dont like the idle at 1100. I am planning to get rebuild kits however I would like to find the problem first and fix it before I do.

beandip Posted July 17, 2007 Share #15 Posted July 17, 2007 You can eliminate the dash pot entirely. I haven't had one in 7 yrs. Have you lubed the linkage and ALL the pivot points? I have found that when the idle changes when I drive my Z and if I just tap the gas peddle and the idle drops to where it was set. The linkage is at fault. Now having said this , I am not running with a dash pot , witch function is to retard the linkage from dropping to idle quickly.
