It's usually a sign of timing being off a bit,but it also could be anything from a bad coil pack to possibly a plugged filter or injector

the buick 350 will drop right into place and you'll lose the catalityc convertor,the cost of rebuilding the 231 and get any decent power from it will be about the same price of finding a good buick...

the kits are real reasonable and if ya take a bit of time they rebuild quite nice.I have had a few that work better after the rebuild than when it was new.:thumbsup::rod:

the batt side of the cap needs to be hot either by a toggle switch or an ignition wire from the harness,the tach wire goes to an electric tach.As far as a plug for it goes you can use even a after...

check the grounds before you do anything,in each one of your light sockets is a ground.It may be bad in the socket or where it grounds to the body. In the last ouple of months I have had to replace a...

don't forget to mesure the speedo cable there might be a difference in length

use a little bit of clear silicon,use tape to hold in place while drying.If it lights up with the dash then it will light up still adherd this way,but I to don't think it lights up so the 3m adhisive...

If he's going through that much oil it must have been driven hard and put away wet,try to check the bearings.If worn they do have a tendency to use oil like that because of the wear they have....

You can do the change but be ready to get your hand stuck once or twice while doing it,they don't leave much room to change it if you have meats for hands.Personally I hate to change them because my...

One thing I have found out with mine is that it runs best between 190 & 210.How many blades are on your fan? You'll need at least 6 blades or it will not pull enough air through to cool it,also I had...
