Re: TPI motor question (patsnitrovette)

Thanks again!
Do you know if I'll be able to use the Trans-Am airfilter housing? (I haven't seen the car in question)
Will my Dynomax headers fit the new motor?
The seller might want to keep...

The seller is going to swap for a big carb-motor so I will also be able to get the...

TPI motor question

I've been offered a 350 TPI from a 1987 Trans-AM (70kmiles), complete with sensors, engine wiring etc.
Would this be much different to what was offered for the Corvette that year? Does it have...

Re: 700r4 crossmember pics (Titanium Rat)

Thanks!!
I had a 76 crossmember, but found it easier to start from scratch, since it was then also possible to get a straight exhaust from the headers.
Highly recommended, even if you, like me,...

Re: Thoughts and comments about our wonderful brakes (Blues77)

O-rings are good for static sealing, but on a moving piston lip-seals are better and will keep tight longer.
Only reason to use o-rings is if you have problems with air-sucking, (most common at the...

DIY vacuum pump....

As many of you have found out, having a vacuum source is handy when troubleshooting the Corvette vacuum systems.
Not easy to find, at least over here, and expensive.
So I made my own:

Re: 700R4/2004R owners: Does your tranny like to drop into 4th? (page62)

There is an ongoing battle in your trans between pressures created by throttle position and car speed.
The TV valve creates a pressure that is exposed to one side of the shift valves (controlled by...

Re: True dual exhaust for an 81 (jaybird81)

I have a DIY dual exhaust article at my page. You must modify the crossmember to get a decent straight run of the pipes, I made a new one as a part of my 700r4 installation.

Re: Finding An Electrical Draw - methodology question! (lbell101)

I would say that method is not usable.
Due to the very high input resistance of your meter even the smallest load on the battery (f.ex. clock) will make it show 12V. And it will tell you nothing...

Re: A question for the 1980 owners out there. (BSeery)

That's really weird Stephan.

Sure that your distributor vacuum is ported?
Also, 3inch/hg is very little vacuum, my motor (original cam) never goes that low, even during WOT.

I wish that my...

Re: A question for the 1980 owners out there. (BSeery)

Stephan, is your switch as the same type as the original and are you sure it's connected to ported vacuum?

GM spec for the original switch is to close at only 3inch/Hg, that's how my switch...

Also, the parking lights must be lit along with the...

Re: A question for the 1980 owners out there. (BSeery)

If its closed with no vacuum, then its definitely shot.

Agree that having a manifold vacuum switch to unlock at high loads would be better, but the original 1980 switch is not usable for this...

Re: A question for the 1980 owners out there. (BSeery)

The vacuum switch is connected to ported vacuum , it's closed in all throttle positions except idle.

Sounds like your switch might be connected to manifold vacuum.
The switch need very little...

Re: Tell me if my math is wrong (Desertdawg)

To my knowledge the 82 has a 2.87 rear.
At 4400rpm in 4th gear, your speed would be around 175mph....:eek:
At 2300rpm it should have been around 90mph.....

If you were in 3rd, it should have...
