How is the crankcase pressure when it is running? Can the PCV generate a vacuum in it at idle?

What issues would be taken with the rust? Considering the complete lack of aftermarket support for our vehicles, I'm pretty sure he could make a convincing case for it being OEM rust.:D

WNOS - Was New Once, Somewhere

Small block VS Big block???

NOS..... it's no longer new because it's old. Test the cap. Rubber seals get old and leak. Even if it tests good replace it with a new one. Keep that old junk for points at the car shows.

Very nice summation!! :thumbsup:

Make sure the heated air cleaner system is functional too. These cars are extremely sensitive to air temp at the carb.

Emissions and fuel economy constraints. Find some old adjustable linkage and install it. Amazing what a difference it makes!!!! I did this on some M and R bodies back in the early eighties. Delaying the upshifts about 5 miles an hour really made them pleasant to drive without having to mat the...

If you have not yet done it, put a dwell meter on it. Make sure dwell is steady. I forget the dwell angle, but it should be near 40 or greater...and steady!

Vise grip and twist them out!!

I agree compressed air is a meatball method, but if the system is empty and you've got no idea of how long and why it's empty, why waste freon? As for moisture in the system, an hour or so at a 30" vacuum should boil it out. Nitrogen would be nice but not everyone has it. Most people have a...

Don't feel too bad about your cost for both cores..I spent $400. just to have my heater core rebuilt 2 years ago. A handy tip if you're wanting to save some money fooling around with old and unknown A/C systems: Leak test with compressed air (approx 120 psi). A lot cheaper than Freon.

Long shot...early eighties Buck Rodgers trailer brake controller...

Looks like something to test gauges based upon the "Full" "1/2" "1/4" markings over the bottom row of buttons. Follow the wires and post some more pics. Might be a diagnostic tool some tech left behind years ago.

Try an open or box end wrench from underneath. My plug sockets have a hex at the end that the ratchet attaches to. I slide socket on the plug and use wrench to break it loose from underneath car. Pain in the ***, but easier than coming up with a combo of extensions and 52 u-joints to get at it.
