    Easy to Posi?

    in Drivetrain Tech

    Posted

    I wish someone would put a good video of the install out for the power trax. I HEAR its cake but if your not familiar with the rear, the directions seem overwhelming.I have heard some good things about power trax. Been waying my options like MGD and made some phone calls and found that to get a limited slip rear cost about 700.00 installed.

     

    MGD, I belive if you put a new carrier in, there re-lashing involved.

    Headers and Exhaust

    in Engine Tech

    i just put on American thunder exhaust out of summit. What a great set up. You just have to have the intermidiate pipes cut once the system is fitted. Throw on some hooker headers and you have a new exhaust for 500.00 all from summit.

    cutting dash

    Well if the dash knobs are cracked then i would go with mounting it in the dash. I put a JVC in my glove box but i had to cut half the back out. it wasnt hard but it's one of those things where you half to way all options and figure what is best. I'm actually really glad i did the glove box because i actually have the unit sitting far enough back that i can close and lock the glovebox for extra security.

     

    ps. if you do the glove box make sure your unit has a remote. sucks leaning over to turn the volume up and done.

    Oil Pump question

    Ive searched the site looking for the answer but can't find it so, sorry for reposting.

     

    Anyhow, if i have a stock 350 what type oil pump should i get. higher volume or higher pressure? I remember someone saying that for one of these it would be recomended to get a deeper pan (i dont want a deeper pan). Thanks in advance

    One of the easiest conversions i ever did. I was worried about swapping out the 10 or 12 gauge wire to the junction block for power but turned out to be a piece of cake. Just do all the reading you can on it and you'll be fine. The only thing i can recommend is make sure you are top dead center before you pull the distributor.

    Is it possible it's to much carb? i had a 700cfm quad on mine and it ran super rich! I had the needles maxed out and still no luck. had my original rebuilt and there was no problem.

    carburator troubles

    Your going to have to find away to keep the choke open. I have the same problem and i have heard that you can modify our qjets to accept an electric choke.... i read it in the greatest carb book posted on the forums. Anyhow i used a sort of chicken wire to rig the choke mechanism to hold the choke full open. i will take pic of how i did it tonight.

     

    Anyhow, I'm sure WE can find new heat coils to make them fully function but, i always wonder if the intakes would have trouble accepting them with out some sort of modification. It's this reason that im probably going to go with the summit 600cfm carb. It has all the goodies holley does including its able to accept holley parts.

    i need to be grounded

    in Drivetrain Tech

    Posted

    It really does not matter where you put ground straps. Just remember that everywhere there is a rubber mount there is going to be resistance to ground. ( motor mount, trans mount ) for that matter even a loose connection or rusted washer can cause enough capacitance to remove effective ground or cause a reverse charge.

     

    I follow a simple rule. If I don't see a ground between two members that are not bolted solid, I add a braided ground wire. ie, firewall to engine block, battery to fender, I even added one from one of the bell housing bolts to the firewall. Too much is just enough when it comes to ground.

     

    Your lights may even get brighter. smile

     

    However if you do in fact have a short somewhere, hence the sparks, once it is grounded properly you may end up with a blown fuse or burnt whire somewhere. Shorts will make sure you find them, one way or the other.

    took your advise and did some sanding to make sure i was getting a goo ground to the fender and it seem to do the trick. no more spark from the trans cable. thanks for the tip

    I had an issue with my last shift cable suddenly freezing up. with the new cable, i'm noticing very small sparks from the cable when it touches another metal object. I dont feel any current when i hold it. Somebody did mention last time about the old cable welding itself together. how can i get the monte a good ground. rubber strap to touch the ground? i dont need this 85 doller cable bitting the big one. any ideas? it's a floor console shifter. th350 trans.

    well i disconnected the shifter cable and was able to put the car in gear by turning the steering column. even with the cable disconnected i still cant shift so, i'll try and see if the shift handle is malfunctioning or if the cable just froze up. cant see why it would just freeze up though.
