  1. If you're supercharging, you may want to get a more powerful system from Holley than a Sniper. My buddy is in the midst of troubles with a Sniper system as we speak. The Holley forums are full of issues with that system, but possibly because of the sheer numbers of systems out there.
  2. I think I got a couple things from there, the business card looks familiar. Shipping rates were free, but typical ebay, built into the price.
  3. I wanted to use OEM, even got another used one from a member here, but that turned out to be worn beyond use. Ended up with a 'Restoparts' unit at the time from OPGI (yeah, I know, they suck, but had what I needed at the time). Summit has them though, and so far seems to work just fine. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/opg-c980007lh

    Thanks Willie! Apparently there may not be too many more chips, cookies, tasty sweet drinks, etc in my future after going to the Dr. the other day for routine bloodwork 😔.

    Finally did a little bit of work on the Camaro yesterday, last time I touched it was June 18th when I made up the spark plug wires. Visually not much different from then, but figured a picture would be nice. Did a little bit of wiring, filled the rear diff & transmission with their fluids, and filled and bled the new hydraulic clutch system. Maybe now I'll get a little more motivated soon. I keep telling myself (and others who ask about its progress), "Maybe next Monday I'll start working on it again, but now that I'm retired....every day is Saturday!" (Monday just never seems to come) 😁.
  10. Oh boy Dennis, so sorry for your loss. Our pets are part of the family, and unfortunately, they leave us too soon. The car can wait, you'll know when the time is right to get back to it. Again, very sorry 😞.
  11. The brown wire is the power feed from the fuse panel, underlined in yellow on the schematic. Dennis may confirm, as we had this discussion specifically about that brown wire at the time, when I sent that marked up print to him.
  12. It's on the evaporator box, under the hood. Location circled in red.
  13. Agreed, A couple more bolts & the engine is out..... Me personally, I hate doing things twice. Why waste the time, effort & money on the same parts that you'll be doing again in the near future?
  14. It'll be no problem to swing the A/C out of the way. The exhaust manifolds, it depends if you'll have good access to the lower row of head bolts. Remove accordingly.
  15. Awesome! Now, hopefully the new fuse will not blow again. If it does, that may indicate other problems. We can deal with that if & when it happens. Thanks for letting us know.
  16. Worth a shot, and an easy fix if that's all it was. Let us know after you try it.
  17. If you need any help, or questions to anything, don't hesitate to ask. This is the best group of people, not only on the internet, but anywhere. Since you're keeping the car, don't be a stranger either. That, and we like pictures, lots of pictures!
  18. Some guys are on the fence about day trips too. After driving 9 to 12 hours for some of us to get to Bristol, the last thing some mentioned is driving around even more. At least in Carlisle or Syracuse, once you get to the fairgrounds, you can sit & relax a couple days before making another long trek home. I'm sure it's a beautiful areas to see though, just like the pics of the Western meets we've seen posted by Aaron. Just being honest, but it is a consideration for some.
  19. Still makes a major difference if the car has EFI or not. EFI won't really tolerate a tank without internal baffling (or some type of slosh control), especially in turns, or low fuel level. A carb has a float bowl with a mini-reservoir to help bridge the gap when the pickup tube is sucking air. That's why it's important John to see how your car is equipped, to figure out your problem.
  20. Welcome to the forum John. Does the car have EFI or carb? Engine mounted mechanical fuel pump, or electric in the fuel tank? Does it do it when the tank is full, half, quarter tank, all the time, etc,? Answers to these questions will change the troubleshooting path in different directions.
  21. I just plugged mine into the Custom Autosound unit in my car, no issues. Doubtful they would have used a different windshield/antenna in the cars, based on the radio option. May try an antenna booster or something like that, might help. Stupid question, but have to ask. You're not just trying to tune the FM stations in a garage or structure, but out in the open as well? I get poor signals sometimes in the shop.

  23. C.K found a video of the show, but it's Friday. The opening drone footage shows how large the place is, but still doesn't do it justice. We can't find any good Saturday vids yet, but they're sure to come. The Saturday attendance nearly doubled from Friday. There should be a helicopter vid too he says, so hopefully we'll find that one to post.
  24. - May be 1-1/8" socket according to google. - I had the car on the lift, probably grabbed the yoke with a big wrench to keep it from spinning. An impact may work to take it off too, just not to install. - Normal, 7/8"-16 thread
