Re: Restoring Rusty
Naval Jelly works for dissolving rust from bolts. It is an alternative vs buying all new. Give it a try. Or just buy Phosphoric acid. The Jelly worked great on my door jam switches.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Just leave it on the floor. It's up in the corner under the E-Brake pedal. No law says you have to use it.

Re: Restoring Rusty - Fast Idle Adjustment
basically you are supposed to turn that screw counter clockwise to bring the RPMs down, well that's all well and good except the screw is in there all upside down and who knows what clockwise or anti clockwise be, so basically just loosening it or unscrewing it makes the RPMs go down and screwing it in makes them go up, (in theory)
you see I spent a few days trying to tame this little rascal, see the most you can turn that screw is half a turn at a time cause the carburetor and such is in the way, so what The Greg would do is use a 1/4" box wrench and give it a 1/2 turn (as much as possible) then start the car and see where she idles, then the next day, (after a proper cooldown of the enjin) I would turn her another 1/2 turn and see where she RPMs and after playing that silly gave for a day or three, I said enuff is enuff and I unscrewed that darn screw flat all the way as far as it would go without falling out, I had to see where it would RPM with it all the way out, you know the extremes from one end to the other, and I gotta tell you that even all the way out she still RPMs at above 1200, see there the pic well I wouldn't be writing about this if it don't surprise me none you see, cause now I need to turn the screw back in some to get that 1500 sweet spot, but it aint all as easy as them marketing guys make it out to be, especially for such a small tiny little screw Last edited by Gregski; 05-22-2016 at 08:58 PM. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
1200 is a little low. I usually set Fast Idle at 1500-1800 RPM and Curb Idle at 700-800.
You should be able to swing the fast idle cam over the adjustment screw and set it even after she warms up.

Re: Restoring Rusty
time to get this situation rectofied real quick
now some of youz might ask now Greg why didn't you replace that output shaft seal when you had the transmission out and on the workbench, and to you I say... [who made you guys the efficiency police, lol, ha ha] it's so much more fun doing it on the truck, well under the truck well under the now lowered truck first we go out and git the a proper single purpose seal puller "guaranteed not to mangle the old seal as you pull it" we'll see about that |

Re: Restoring Rusty

Re: Restoring Rusty
Now we have been schooled by the Greg ,good deal .But Chevy's still seem to find a place to leak just to give us something to do.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Chevy's don't lose oil. You always know exactly where it is.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Whoops, I was wrong about the hole I've used. My 6-cyl throttle cable wasn't long enough, so I used a Lokar cable and bracket that I had in the shop. Lucky I wasn't able to sell it at a swap meet!

Re: Restoring Rusty
Every time I see the stance on this truck I break inside a little out of it's beauty. Then I remember you want to lower it because it's not a 4x4, and find myself cringing. But to each their own, and as always an amazing thread.
P.S. At least she's not slammed. ![]() |
