I have an original Dayco catalog. Designations such as '13' or '15' referred to 1/32" increments. So a '13' belt was 13/32" wide.

Check the connector at the bottom of the column. Sometimes the electrical lugs are not correctly locked & get pushed out of position....& no contact.

Kern, Just as many cars put the ign coils on the f'wall or inner fender away from heat, may have needed longer wires [ more cost? ]....but still did it.

Well done! That is going to pump some coolant!

I am not surprised the coil is 'hot'. Mounted on a hot engine is going to cook the 'coil' & reduce the spark output. A most stupid idea from many manufacturers. You will need to swap the coil to see if it has failed. As to the BEST coil, need to know more about the type of dist.

A spray can can change the colour, if it is the colour you do not like.....

11.3v at the ECU sounds about right. There will be some voltage drop across the harness, plus gauges etc that will be drawing current.

I would be looking at what accessories/devices these belts are driving. P/S & A/C? Belt squeal with all these different belts is not normal. Maybe one of the driven accessories is failing internally, building up a lot of friction/resistance.

68, You said it all....& very well in post #1.

He was a pain sometimes...but a nice 'pain'.

No FT cam is going to like a 436# spring rate, new lifters or not....

Cogged/notched belts have less rubber in them. So they stretch more. Try & find some plain old fashioned belts..

Gene, I would say you have the wrong shocks. If the shock bottoms out/goes solid before the bump stop takes the hit, why bother to have bump stops????

There should be two wires coming from the dist. Measure the resistance between the wires. Should be 100-400 ohms. Then measure from one of the wires to the dist body. Should be infinity. If both readings check out ok, p/up is ok & does not need replacing. Where the wires are burned: slice some...

I NEVER use that type of 'extractor'. Extractor is a misnomer, should be called a 'jammer'. The design is such that it tends to jam the broken piece in even harder.

Yes, sounds like the oil filter is allowing drain back, probably a leaking internal valve.

A heavy car like a C body is going to ride better than a lighter car because the heavier car has more mass to absorb the road shock. If you want a softer ride, buy a C body, not an A body. Simple physics.

Going to 6* init timing is about the worst thing you could do. Low comp engine needs more initial timing, maybe 15-25* depending on the cam. Using 6* init timing makes the engine very inefficient & requires more throttle opening. You are probably running out of transfer slot for cruising because...

Nope, not always.... In this test, a non-resistor plug & low res wires made the least HP. The leads/plug combo that made the most hp did NOT have the lowest resistance leads. Everybody worries about the plug & leads resistance.....but nobody seems to think about the megohms of resistance of the...

Talking about inductive ign. Nope, a spark with higher current [ such as using a coil with lower turns ratio ] produces a shorter duration spark.....not longer duration. However, this is not a problem with inductive ign systems because the spark already has long duration, about 10 times the...
