Thanks

I have a vacuum pump and also Willcox' troubleshooting procedure, which I followed. That's how I landed on the solenoid (see the response from damvette, below, and my reply to him). All tests had...

Thanks

Neat, thanks. I'll look at all of the links to see if I can adapt it, but it is overkill. I'm just holding onto a bare block, so need something on the order of 22" x 17.5" X 10.5" (inside...

Engine block storage

Anyone have plans / dimensions for boxing up a bare small block? I think if I design it from scratch I'll either forget something and make it too big / too small, or over-engineer it.

Thanks all, for the replies. I should probably have provided more info, but I'd thought the original post was getting too long.

Optical Delusion

Forgive me -- I always thought Norm Crosby's malaprops were funny. If you're under 40 (maybe 50), you'll have to Google him.
