Many thanks

I live in Florida so the cold starts with fast idle are not a real problem. Before putting it in gear I always tap the accelerator pedal to drop the idle down. Reverse is much worse than drive. I...

Thanks Bob

Thanks again for the help

Is it much of a job to reinstall the whole assembly? Or can it be taken out in two pieces? leaving the center bearing in-tack. I was hoping that this would be a one day project. Why did you have your...

Tried the brake fluid it did not slow any of the leaking down. Any idea what I might exspect to pay to have new seals installed?
Thanks

Hi Tom
Will I have to drain and change the trans. oil after driving with the brake fluid? About how long until I should notice a slowing of the leak?
Thanks Scotty

Hello,
I remember the aluiminum oil pans that were available for small block Chevys some years ago. However, I have never seen one for a nailhead

Hello,
I do not know if any of this will help you or is even what you are asking. This is the little that I know about NaiIhead starters. I have a 401 and from my experience and what I have been...

Thanks, Ian
I will pull the plugs and take a look. I just replaced them and perhaps that has something to do with it. I will set the timing again as well. I had a 4bb Carter with the shield under it...

Hello,
I guess to start with I have to asked the question that I thought I knew the answer to. What causes carbon? I thought it was from running to rich.

If the choke housing and piston are the only problems with your carb you may want to look at just replacing them. If that is a consideration checkout this web site www.daytonaparts.com they may be...

Thanks for the help. I called Petronix last week and a tech walked me through several "solutions" and after none of them worked he concluded that it was a "bad" unit. He told me to send it back and...

My 401 started with a 2BBL . I bought a 4BBL and manifold from a junk yard. I went the Edlebrock route once. I disconnected the the kickdown rod because it kept binding up plus your stock air filter...

Well, Heres a update...I noticed that the black wire that goes from the Pertronix to the coil was not as secure as it should be. After making a better connection I was able to get the timing light...

I tested the voltage at the coil when I first installed the Pertronix it was at 12+. I will check it again and the wiring looking for shorts. Yes it is connected at the coil as per the instructions....
