Weird question but what freaking size are those screws!??? Out of 2 tool sets no sockets fit!! I'm about to take some channellocks to it
@SnowFamilyRacing Күн бұрын
To be honest, I don't remember! I think they were one of the weird .5mm sizes, like 5.5 or 7.5... in those small sizes, make sure you use a 6 point socket, the grip better.

Do you have stock or upgraded brakes on the front? And your set up is manual correct? No assist
@SnowFamilyRacing Күн бұрын
It's stock parts, stock calipers, stock rotors and a manual set up. I do have braided hoses from the frame to the caliper. The one change I would make is a 15/16" Wilwood Master. I've talked with them after I made the swap and they've suggested the 15/16" master to be the ideal for this set up.

I just purchase an msd 8401 coil cap with the spark plug looking device on it to replace my gm oldsmobile hei distributor's internal coil to an external 12 volt oil filled coil.I got stuck a few times out of no where.One thing about my 1980 oldsmobile delta 88 is, when it runs it runs.But once in a blue moon the car 's engine just quits. I read where 99% of the time the epoxy layered coil gradually from heat dissolves causing the layer of winding separated by the epoxy to touch causing more resistance in the coil slowly killing the ignition module.So if you change the module and not the coil as well , if the coil was what destroyed the module in the first place ,why wouldn't it destroy a new replacement module in minutes.Especially if the coil is at that stage for the module to burn out.Reguardles of any heat sink gel under the module. I heard a lot of people have done this with no problems .So l'm giving it a try.And looking at your modification as perhaps if needed the next step.Damnskippy!

That is a serious looking rear end. I am a little intimidated thinking about taking the rear end off for restoration on my riviera. But it must be done…… eventually.
@SnowFamilyRacing 4 күн бұрын
Believe it or not, this is actually the first time I've taken a rear out and disconnected everything. I've done each one of those steps individually, just never all at the same time. It's just nuts and bolts. It's really not that big of a deal. The hardest part was getting it supported to go up into the car. This thing shouldn't break. It's 35 splines with the C clip eliminators with a spool and the cap supporting back brace. It's not quite as supported as a back braced 9", but it is a pretty serious piece.

Have you seen videos of guys using Progression Ignition? Looks like a cool idea, although I've seen 2 fairly big KZbinrs have the coil fail, but apparently the company sourced them from someone else.

I have heard of them, I've visited their website, but I have not watched any videos on it. It looks like a good idea, I'm genuinely curious about how well they hold up long term. I'm currently in a phase of if it's not broke, I don't need to fix it. My El Camino currently has the timing locked out at 36 degrees, and my everything is running fine, so I don't have a big reason to make a switch.

I have a 88 cutlass with the stock 307 motor. It sputters most the time but sometimes runs good. I got new plug/wires and I even replaced the carb and fuel pump. Compression is good so idk what else it could be. My exhaust smells super rich yet I did jet down the carb and I have the same issue. Now I’m wondering if it’s something to do with my timing , this car was computer controlled but someone removed all the wires and smog when they removed the Rochester carb. My plan is to install a cheap eBay distributor with vacuum advance and see how it goes. I hope it works.
@SnowFamilyRacing 16 күн бұрын
When going from computer controlled to non computer controlled, you need the carb and distributor to be non computer controlled. What are your plugs looking like? That's the giveaway of how it's running. Just because you jetted down may not fix a rich, especially at idle, condition. You'll want to adjust your idle circuits, too.
@Bigislandguy 15 күн бұрын
@@SnowFamilyRacing yeah I already have a edelbrock, and I installed the new distributor with vacuum advance today. Shot the timing to 20degrees. Now I can actually drive the car. Plus is doesn’t burn your eyes as much. lol It still has issues though. I noticed when shooting the ignition timing. It would run way pass the 20 degree mark when revved slightly, 12-1500rpm Is that normal? Yes the vacuum advance hose is disconnected.

@SnowFamilyRacing 23 күн бұрын
I totally understand! There's a lot of misinformation around upgrades, my intent is to show the best bang for the buck, what can be done, and what makes sense. I've played with stock stuff, through my MSD ignition boxes and there is definitely a place for each one. Quick word of caution, with the '85 you will want to know if you have the computer controlled ignition and carburetor. If you do, this part will not do any good since it's not compatible with the computer controlled stuff. I think '85 may be one of the last years of the non-computer stuff for GM trucks, don't quote me on that year I'm working from memory. Best of luck with the squarebody! I'm a fan of the '80's GM stuff!

That can be an issue. If I were to add a relay for a system like the ignition system, it would be using a keyed source. I tend to favor keeping the OE style ignition switch and using it to trigger functions.

The MSD module has been absolutely trouble-free in that Monte Carlo since I put it in. I'm finding that Napa is a better source for OE style electrical components, but that's no guarantee they'll live long. I've had new Napa components fail far too early. The MSD is a great choice and definitely worth the money and peace of mind to never mess with it again.

I've got an H.E.I. on my 1973 Chef K20. It was installed by a super old school mechanic in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, back in (oh) 2008. It made that truck run so well, for so long. I needed to sell the truck a few years ago to get it off the property, and my dad put a new battery in it, but he reversed polarity (the wires themselves were reverse color-coded) bummer. Hasn't started since. I don't know the vintage of the HEI as it is not stock. From watching your video I think I'm going to just pull out the module and take it over to Auto-zone. I hope they can match something up. You didn't need to check the timing after pulling the cap?
@SnowFamilyRacing Ай бұрын
I might on my race car, not on this one. There's a locating detent that the cap fits into so that that only goes on in one orientation. The common module is the 4 pin for non computer controlled engines. There's a 7 and 9 pin variant for the computer controlled models. For the parts store people, just about any Chevy V8 car or truck used the same part. My go-to for stuff like this is a 78 Monte Carlo with a 350. That gets me the common things like a module.
