    Vacuum or mechanical secondary

    Leave well enough alone.....if the car runs and performs like you want.....D.N.F.W.....why spend the extra $$$ for an experiment.....just my opinion..... BOB RENTON

    Help! Strange ignition problem continues 1971 440 4 speed

    The ohm meter reading will read resistance of the pick up coil. When in operation, "spinning" of the distributor will result in a average voltage generated by the reluctor and the pick up coil...that triggers the ECU, to produce the spark......and as you noted, ohm meters will provide a false...

    ThermoQuad Secondaries Not Opening All The Way

    The factory 's attempt to limit air flow to a maximum as determined by the vehicle manufacturer to be able to use one basic carb design on several different engines. GM's QUADRAJET did the same time be used in different engines...like the PONTIAC's OHC 6. Usually fixable by bending the...

    What did I do wrong here (HEI Conversion)

    YOU'RE WELCOME.....It's no crime not to know how things interact......the solution is: LEARN....don't assume or listen to others that also don't know......knowledge is a wonderful thing....... BOB RENTON

    What did I do wrong here (HEI Conversion)

    Perhaps the best thing for you to do is: find another hobby......there is always golf, fishing, picking one's nose and rolling booger pills, chasing the wife/partner around the house, (naked).,.....and reading your posts, it sounds as if you subscribe to the "seat of the pants engineering...

    PCV valve hose goes???

    I'm not really familiar with both EFI systems you noted. They appear to be TBI (Throttle Body Injection) systems.....adaptations of a GM TBI system used in their middle 70s economy vehicles (Pontiac 6000 4 cylinder engine, etc), rather than a more traditional fuel Injection systems....multi...

    PCV valve hose goes???

    The vacuum connection should be on the BACKSIDE (negative pressure side) of the EFI's main butterfly valve, which controls the air flow thru the system. Usually, the air flow METERING DEVICE (a hot wire sensor or pitot array reading differential pressure), is upstream of the butterfly valve in...

    PCV valve hose goes???

    NO.....ITS THE SAME......like asking how high is up....or why is there air......vacuum is the absence of air.....you could run a hose to the moon for some serious vacuum........ BOB RENTON

    PCV valve hose goes???

    And the difference is....?????.....(the same)..... BOB RENTON

    PCV valve hose goes???

    100% WRONG ANSWER....the carb is calibrated to have PCV introduced into the idle mixture below the throttle plates to smooth out and dilute the mixture. An added benefit is PCV helps to remove condensate as moisture from the engine internals and to assist in removing blow-by products and keeps...

    PCV valve hose goes???

    This is where the EGR (Exhaust Gas Regulator valve is mounted).....and connects the Xover passage to manifold vacuum via a diaphragm controlled device......IMO....LEAVE AS IS...HOLES PLUGGED..... BOB RENTON

    OEM Radiator holes?

    You are correct......the tubing is steel not aluminum, as aluminum is considerably softer and definitely more suseptible to fatigue failure.....sorry for the incorrect information..... BOB RENTON

    OEM Radiator holes?

    Yes....WHY????.....BECAUSE your buddy has an aluminum radiator and fans ???? BOB RENTON

    68 Charger Alternator Concerns

    As noted previously, the best thing to do is ignore anything this guy says, as he lacks the fundamental knowledge of how a Mopar charging system was designed and operates....he operates on speculation, guess tamates and copies others works as his own....what a phoney..... BOB RENTON
