If it was me it would be the fan!!!! On the PS, good to hear is the catheter history I hope?

OK, just checked I had the wrong springs, it's the metering rod springs in the top of the carb, a set of those is cheap enough to do a test with a few different springs. He thought I needed stiffer. Watched a video on tuning & that guy said weaker spring if you have a cam& low vac. If I get the...

Where do I start, we have some progress, some good some bad. I guess the no metal in the pan was the best news, He did a little more research on the oil & was afraid of the 20/50 because of cold starts in the winter, went with 10/40 & added the rislone. Cold start she was up to 60, increase of...

Looks like one of my A/C duct ties! I used to buy by the case, I have 5or 6 left for emergencies! Running out of duct tape too, another case load item, it hurts paying like 10 a roll at the hardware store for crappy tape.

I ordered a shroud & it was quite a bit thinner than the orig, I ended up cleaning up the original & used that! Don't remember the price but it went in the dumpster!

Ouchy, I wonder what that would have cost 10 years ago? My recore was just a tad over that, 475, but I was lucky with A/C the 'Cuda's had 26 inch rads. Can you loan me some of your oil pressure. Picking mine up in a while, see what the mechanic says, & then drive it around the hood for a few...

Join the club, always something, at least mine runs cool, temp comes up about a quarter on the gauge & hangs there, did that driving around & even just sitting idling on some decent hot days. I did have it recored. Mines at the shop now getting the heavy oil & risoline, see if I get lucky...

Getting along on the PU, Mark shot some of my leftover high build today, one more space on my shelf opened up!

So I cleaned off my old oil sender & got a part #, D-88108 no maker listed, just made in USA, so it's old! Googled all over the place & NO ONE states the pressure that any of the senders I found operate at? I looked at tons, a few that looked like mine but not the same parts #. Just curious now...

Yep it was Hi volume! almost as good as my risoli! Ok hi volume on the pump, thinking new pick up 2, I had the one in there welded where it popped the old weld? OK, so if we do it just got a little bigger, add in rear main. It's a tiny leak right now, oily front bottom of trans, but heck, if...

OK, talked to Mark, if it comes to it we will attempt the pump change here. Got a couple of questions. 1 - Is Melling a good pump & is rock auto good to buy from? 2 - They also list a hi velocity, considering what I'm dealing with is it worth it to upgrade to that? 3 - Since I'm gonna be in...

Yea I was googling around a bit, I guess now it's wait & see, after I get it back tues I'll try & drive it for a while every day to get a few miles on it & see if anything changes. He's also gonna set the idle by rmp's, If it changes on it's own again I'll be back to looking for a Vac. leak...

So after cursing me out for my ignorance (Bob jumped in, thanks Bob) Jass would have liked this, it hides part of the missing lower dash trim that He thought was all important! So all I did with the car today was put a gauge on the A/C to see if I lost it yet, had 80lbs standing pressure, down...

I hear ya Bob, I just trying desperately not to have to go there. I make the final decision after the oil change, He's gonna check for metal in the oil. Going with the 20/50 & the Rislone (thanks 68) see what I get after a few miles are put on that? That will at least remove a fouled oil filter...

I have a friend (Mark / charger man from the old days) who does everything himself on all his cars, new & old alike, will ask him if he wants to dive in with me to change the pump in my yard & what that will involve? Again I don't want to take half the car apart AGAIN! But also don't want to...

What ya thinkin 68, will a new oil pump be necessary, or is being at the low end of the range livable, for me & the engine?

Oh yea, I looked up the pressures, 30 to 80 so I'm at the bottom of the barrel there. One thing it did say that made me feel a tad better, minimum press at idle 8 lbs Could not find the idle speed settings, for some reason 850 sticks in my head & 1500 on fast? Now I just wait till tuesday &...

So I put the new connector on the choke wire & figured I'd head into the abyss! Started up with 40 lbs oil pressure & 5 on the fuel pressure, after warm dropped to 30, drove around the side streets for a while, early on it was dropping to 20 when I stopped, light flashed a little, got a little...

At this point with this haunted car I need the bleeding to stop. I'll try the oil with STP & see if the #'s come up any. At least that will take a fouled up oil filter out of the picture. Why with all this am I not getting some nasty rat tat tats out of the valves/rockers? When It was idling I...

OK todays saga, put in the STP & started it up, started at40lbs, I would assume before the STP had time to do anything. My choke wire fell off so I had a hard time warming it up, finally saw that & put it back, that will get a new clip & wire tomorrow. So I lower the idle 1/2 turn after...
