Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Nah, nobody got the hint last Christmas or my birthday back in June and I'd been eyeballing this camera for a while - especially with Joe's relentless circling - so I thought I'd finally treat myself.
Got the zoom for those under-hood and chassis shots, and it's got a nice little flip-up fill flash. The lady at the Wal-Mart processing desk is going to be heartbroken.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Shop called and said The Tan has "a flat spot" between idle and 1,000 rpm. He's confused about the vacuum advance hose going to the HEI. The 2-barrel Rochester has a small tube coming out at the lower-front (passenger side) of the body and I told my guy that's where I though it hooks up. His carburetor guy is coming over to assist. Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
A whole page and no truck pics. What's up with that. You have a camera, use it.

But the vacuum advance needs to be hooked to a ported source. Which is a port that has no vacuum at idle. When the butterfly on the carb starts to open the port receives vacuum giving you just off idle advance.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
The latter. I got too excited yesterday and forgot the Sony. On the way home in the Chevelle I kept thinking, "Oh damn - I'm going to take some flak over this!"

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Yeah - I brought my camera, connection hardware and software disc to work today and I've tried to lie to the camera's system but it just says F/U.
The computer system I have to work with here has such an old version of Windows I think they used to call it PortHole and the mouse is an actual rodent that runs on a little wheel in the back of the $19.00 clone tower on my desk. I'll take it back home and plug this gear into my fairly recent HP and see if I can get it to go. I hate having to do this stuff on my time. Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Okay, Joe - got the pictures to convert from the Sony to the H/P to the clay tablet here at work, and I had to do it on my time!
