Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Zap, Thanks for the additional information,, even if it did take me awhile to find this thread again. Some really informative info. I have told alot,,,, before i saw a BH i heard about em and i thought "why in the heck would anyone want something like that?" well it wasn't long after that ...

Tom,

Your reply and explanation is appreciated,,,

CArburetor Mike,

What are your thoughts of the removal of the vacuum can for the secondaries as suggested earlier in this thread?
Advice and knowledge appreciated,



Darryl

I can do motor work,, but the transmission,, with no manual.. :cry: :oops: :shock: . I did completely disassemble a turbo 400 clean everything as my torque converter disintigrated, and reassembled it, no left over parts and ran fine for several years then sold the car. 158 diagram manual from the li...

I have to ask Rob,,, was there one on each side? :shock: :shock: Hey at least you tried it,, evaluated it and you removed it? Well, hey sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. Can't learn if you don't try. I have had some hard lessons over the years,, as in trying to have a race car work car...

Bought from Lima Auto Mall, Rodger Mcclain good sale and follow up with warranty of battery, valve covers chrome blistering. Has done as he says. 10 Ordered parts from Siron, plug wires, shipped and received as stated. 10 Ordered from Chopper City, several times, shipped as stated. 10 Repaired rear ...

Rob, correct on the hotel/ apartment. Ok just a fart in the wind, blow,,, blowww away. and i ain't gotta clue how to evolve a idea to a usable thread such as mentioned. I can maintain on a computer but by no means a web site setr upr.

Darryl

Was thinking of all the issues with informing the V8 members of good experiences or bad experiences with dealers. In my opinion it is good for the V8 public to know who has good business practices and who have poor business practices. If there is not a dealer topic or thread, if there was a location...

Same here Lennu,, thanks for the site and time to maintain

Darryl

Lennu,

When butterfly passes on login and password, please forward to me also as i would like to bid on Boss Hoss trike

Darryl

Rob,,, Good info and test that you provided. I have been wondering of if i wanted the 1000$ or so investment and how it would go. I am a bit hesitant of using NOS as i know if everything is not EXACTLY right,,,, pistons can be toast and Shit runs down hill so rods and crank could be also. I trashed ...

Southern,,, by the grace of god! Also cool story Jack,,, i like "would please remove your nuts from our flag" We also have a Mississippi flag in the bar,,, as it also has a rebel flag on one side of it and they tried to vote the rebel flag off of their state flag and they could not pass th...

Buttterfly, any good wheel shop or auto supply should have a new metal valave stems for replacement. In my past experience (with mag wheels on cars) when the rubber grommet wears out it is best to replace the whole valve stem so you get a correct fitment onto the valve stem instead of replacing just...

Rob,

Here's when Steve and Barb made it down to South Texas, notice the flags on the back wall.



Darryl

Can I Add Another Verse? Ok,,, Ok

Shit it's cold over here too!

In South Korea for 6 weeks and No Boss Hoss,,, that Sucks

Darryl

Wildman and Rob, I know of the issues stated with the dex-cool and i am staying away. Do either of you know of any issues with the water wetter? If so please inform me, as currently removal is on the back burner,,, but it is about time in 4 or 5 months for the one year since my delivery,,, unsure if...

Rob, Southern (Rebel) by the grace of god. I have never used Barr's. I have been hesitant. I will in the future and have in the past have used "Fine Ground Black Pepper" from the supermarket. It is fine enough NOT to clog anything in the motor. As it is going out the leak,,, it solidifies ...

Rob, I have the water wetter (after market additive for extra cooling and turns the antifreeze red), and when i put it in i put 8 bottles in,,, At the time i thought,,, well i don't know what i thought maybe some is good,,,, more is better, as it only calls for one bottle in the system. Anyway it's ...

Carburetor Mike, Have you ever had any experience of as Peter speaks of as removing the vacuum can on the side of the carb? " Darryl, there is a vacuum can on the right side of the quadrajet. This setup regulates the secondaries i.e. it also delays the kickin of the secondaries. I guess it is k...

Good to hear your doing better and recovering and Merry Christmas to you also Butterfly!

Darryl

Goverment probably wouldn't let em in.. and if they did most all couldn't afford them on $125 per mont average salary. They do in Japan,,, but it was dark there last night when i went through so i didn't get to see any no less at the airport

Darryl

Peter,

Thanks for the info as i will give it a try when i get back from work, going to China tomorrow till the 21st

Darryl

Peter, I appreciate your reply and I will adjust my secondary spring tension as i set it at 1&1/2 turns and it "feels" to much as i have a harder time opening the secondaries. Also What do you mean "Rick took off the vacuum of the secondaries,,," did he reduce the amount need...

A few questions, first the easier. 1. what is the proper torque for valve cover gaskets? some will say good an tight,,, but i would like to have a proper value whether ft lbs. or inch pounds. 2 chrome was peeling in three locations on my valve covers and i sent them back for warranty and were replac...

Zap,

Thanks for the post, I have not seen that one before.
