Re: I need a 12v line for my electric choke...where can I look? (Indy Year 25)

I like the idea of using power from the Wiper motor. My wiper motor has 3 wire connectors. There are two connections on the driver's side of the motor with multiple wires and one connector, a red...

I need a 12v line for my electric choke...where can I look?

My RPMs are through the roof without the electric choke for the street avenger connected. My Q-jet didn't have an electric choke so there is no readily available line for me to hook up to. Where...

Thanks I'll check that. Think the float level is too high or too low?

Re: Getting those intake bolts off the stock intake manifold (mapman)

Re: Getting those intake bolts off the stock intake manifold (81' Corvette Guy)

Heheh, you think maybe if I just use a teeny bit it'll blow the bolt clean out of the intake? I could either use TNT, drill it out, weld something to it and unbolt it, grind the metal around it.......

GEN light has a slight glow. Under some rpms the GEN light brightens then fades.

I've just started driving the Vette at night and have noticed the GEN light has a very slight glow. Under some RPMs it will brighten then darken in a slow pulse fashion. During the day with the...

Re: Correct negative camber visible to the eye? (73 LS-4)

Damnnnn that's a nice Vette! Shouldn't be obvious...all right that statement works for me. So someone like myself should not be able to notice the negative camber unless I look real close. I...
