Re: Daverods project 66
Worked on my temp sending unit tonight. After much searching I found one that used two wires. You have to ask for a 64 gmc temp sending unit. Anyway swaped it out put in some more fluid and both lights still come on. If I drive fast the green one goes out and then the red fades to pink. Just sitting still they both come on. I thought it might be a bad thermostat so I changed that out. It had a 180 in it the guy at the store said 195 was stock so thats what I put back in it. More fluid and same thing. $30 and I'm right back were I started.

Re: Daverods project 66
check to make sure that your dist is tight, I could have moved when you rev it.

Re: Daverods project 66
The distributor has a centrifugal mechanical advance that will work without the vacuum hose on. That's normal. With the hose on you can check total advance. If I remember right it should be about 32 degrees. To check total advance you have to have a timing light with an advance dial on it.

Re: Daverods project 66
Thanks guys. I was worried that it was'nt working but after messing with it I could see it move. I think I just set my timing to high. In a 73-86 ? book I saw that the timing was 4 degrees for a 292 thought I would try it. Back to 0 runs great. Still messing with my air screw though. When I screw it in it kills the engine but when I screw it out it doesn't seem to make a difference how far it won't make the engine studder. I just srewed it in untill I could tell a difference then backed it out a 1/4 turn. Tried hooking my vac gage to the hose going to the dist. but it would read anything untill I reved the engine up. Wish my notch would get here.

Re: Daverods project 66
You may be hooking it the the port that doesen't pull vacuum until the throttle blades are open. Most carbs have one that pulls vacuum at idle and the other that only has vacuum when you come off idle. From what I remember most chevy's use the off idle vacuum to the dist. But I have seen one or two that like it the other way!
You can usuallly tell which port will have constant vacuum and which want by looking to see which is above the throttle blades and which is below. The ones below will have vacuum at all times.

Re: Daverods project 66
this was fun to read you guys crack me up .
back on rust preventing : an old mecanic i knew used old motoroil in hollow spaces he drilled a small hole in the top poured the oil in let it sit a while and drilled a new hole in the bottom draining it , gets in all the nooks and crannies and with the hotter weather and dust it prolly dries up intoo sumtin like tar ....... wouldnt want to weld on any of his cars though

Re: Daverods project 66
think the best way to even try is to cut the bend sheetmetal off the carcas and try to bent new sheetmetal on the remains
