    Cast iron block repair

    I wanted to put this in the how to forum but it said I didnt have sufficient permission, so, here it is. This is from Dave, a FB vehicle repair specialist that also does a lot of videos. His procedures are spot on and never misleading. Here he has a cast iron block repair specialist that casts...

    Transmission Fluid Additives

    Just curious. I know that there most likely is nothing out there that can restore wore and hardened clutch pack seals, so thats not as much about this thread as what might be used to smooth out shifting without causing slipping in the clutch packs. This 1991 Oldsmobile Royal 88 has a 4T60E...

    Electrolysis on aluminum manifold

    There is slight grooves eaten into the aluminum intake manifold. Slight enough to be caught with the pinky finger finger nail. I used a sanding block and did a good cleanup on the gasket rails of the heads and the intake manifold to help minimize the pitting. I have these Felpro manifold...

    3.8 liter, debris guard behind harmonic balancer.

    This is on that 1991 Oldsmobile Royal 88 with the 3800 engine. I am guessing that stands for 3.8. Anyhow, got the H-Balancer removed and behind that, in order to get the CPS removed, this debris shield needs to come off. It has three stud affairs with knobs on on the ends. Attaching the shield...

    Choke spring or choke stove in intake manifold ?

    Step sons 1970 C20 pickup. SBC 350. It has the choke mechanism like whats in the picture. The base on that spring gets barely above skin temperature. I am thinking that the passage through the intake manifold is plugged and not allowing the choke stove portion to get warm enough to allow the...

    PMD heat sink, alternate locations and other uses.

    Just thinking about alternate locations for the PMD and the heat sink. I have not checked to see if there would be room. Inside the K47 air filter box. If there would be room, there would be a constant flow of air, even at idle. Be more air flow when idling than behind the bumper. Also, a spare...

    AC Clutch Continually Cycles

    I have, in the past, searched the internet for an answer to this question. How frequently should the AC clutch kick on then off. If this is not normal, what can cause such a situation ? I have installed a new clutch, temperature from the bilevel duct is at 44 degrees. I used one of those single...

    AC Clutch Air Gap

    Looking online search, also in the forum for the proper airgap when installing the AC clutch. Most of what I’m seeing seems to be 0.020 to about 0.035 or some such. Seems about 0.025 should be about right. Anyone have a better suggestion ? Speak now because tomorrow it will be too late. 😹😹😹

The original harness was run under the intake manifold for the forward three, then down and to the right then plugging into each GP. The rear GP wire was run downwards behind...
