I'm really sorry to see a wrecked car, but you're incredibly lucky that your child didn't die. A tremendous tirade when you were clearly distracted, her insurance company will have a field day with this post if they find it, and you should delete it. Pay attention to safety seats and other...

It starts that sound as soon as I turn the key. Swapped batteries no change. Is there a way to troubleshoot the ignition switch or just swap it?

Yeah so the starter is toast, if not more damage. The initial whining is my electric fan, then I turn the key for less than a second Video here:

I'll record later when I try it again, it caught me off guard so I left it alone yesterday and didn't get back to it this morning, but I'll tinker this evening

I was planning to replace the timing belt, it started to squeal. I'll try tightening that or a new belt. Thanks everyone for confirming my thoughts that it was the starter. I didn't want to learn what an RB engine eating itself sounded like

It does start and run, and the sound was only right at the beginning of the start-up, not during running. I immediately backed off the key when I heard it

Has anyone heard a buzzsaw sound before when trying to start their car? I changed over the intake and carb and was testing out the new firing. I had a couple of dry fires, then got it running pretty smoothly. Was running pretty hot right away so I shut it down. Started it a few minutes later and...

Yes, it's the stock pump. I'll buy another gauge and check, thanks.

My fuel pressure gauge shoots right up to the max of 15psi when the engine is running. Is this worrisome? Stock fuel pump (I was fixing the fuel line, it is leaking on one side, so playing with the fit and tightness to get it right and noticed the pressure)

No problem, I went Cal Custom because I'm building a muscle car under the hood, and grandma cruiser on the outside. I'll look at firewall placement. The previous owner's nephew put an electronic ignition on the firewall but didn't finish hooking it up, so I may just learn how to do that as well

Has anyone here used a non-stock set of valve covers? Where do you prefer to re-home the coil? I'm wondering if it would work on the passenger side panel in the engine bay, using a longer spark cable and lengthening the wires. Any thoughts, opinions, or photos would be appreciated. Thank you...

I don't have the trunk release button. Based on where it goes through the firewall, it's probably the heater controls. I never fathomed those buttons used vacuum

Absolutely, and it's not connected, I just had to pull it to have room to get the hoses onto the engine. I removed it completely to clean up the bracket and bolts and lengthen the wires

I don't! I bought one to install, and was going to T off of whatever this is. My car is a factory bench seat with a column shifter, was going to find a way to mount it upside down under the dash because I thought it was nifty

Where does this little black hose go inside the ca? It is hooked up to the two-pronged vacuum fitting on the intake manifold. Larger hose goes to a brake booster? Not sure where the little one goes, I can't follow it without dismantling most of the dash apparently Thanks for any guidance!

Mine isn't AC equipped, or I'm apparently blind I wanted to see what braided steel looked like, I'm going to fabricate a stainless bracket to route these over the wheel well and back to the engine. You're welcome to tell me how stupid it looks

That must be what those ports were for, I couldn't figure it out

Hello, any issues with the stock pump pushing through longer lines? I want to move the lines away from the engine out to the wheel well for decluttering the engine. Let me know if there's an issue with adding another foot or two. Also, which port on the firewall goes to which port on the pump...

Is this black rubber plug available still? Would like to freshen up the wiring and use a new rubber piece if possible

Thanks guys. There is a set of gaskets that lay directly on the grille for the headlight covers. Is this a part still available?
