Re: A New teenage member!
Thanks for all of your "positive" comments stsalvage... My dad says HEI distributors are pointless as a joke, be cause they have no points, bu dum tss! I'm running a new HEI right now in fact. I have the PCV in a T because I need a line that runs to the charcoal canister for emissions. I called and discussed this with eddlebrock and the said this would be the bet way to run it. The other port is running the vac guage in the truck that's why it isn't blocked. I see no reason to change the air cleaner, I've run a different air cleaner and saw no change in power and I want to stay with the original style for this truck by running new parts but trying to hide them by making them look original. As for your "question" that is just another "that's not right" statement, the temp sending wireless an orignal style heat insulation cover around it no prevent t from melting from the heat. And yes I know that the throttle return spring is run like it is, it's connected to the factory inlet as the the orignal ones have a mounting tab for the spring. The plug wires are not Corvette wires, not sure what would make you think that, but they are just cut to fit wires that I cut so that I could run them so they are out of my way and give the engine a cleaner and less cluttered look. My truck does not run "crappy" or even poor, with the new distributed, rework of the vacuum lines, a quick time and a carb tune it is the best it has run in the 11 years I have had it. I see no reason to make any suggested change. The timing is not and has not been "a pain" with the vacuum lines run the way they are and the carb is jetted very well right now. Again, thanks for your "positive" comments and helpful "questions"
