    Oil Pump Prime Procedure

    You probably should have opened up the pump and verified that the clearances are in spec. That would have also been the perfect opportunity to “prime” the pump with assembly lube. It sucks not knowing the history of the car, it could be just plain worn out or some ham handed mechanic screwed...

    I worked my last Friday ever

    I have an irrigation system, but the MILF across the street likes to do yard work in spandex boy shorts and a tank top. Watching her will be better than watching a sprinkler any day of the week…

    I worked my last Friday ever

    Spent most of the day helping my replacement put together a work schedule and transferring all my customer contact info to his phone so he doesn’t have to manually enter everything. We’ve been working together for the past few months so the transition should be pretty seamless. Next week I will...

    Excessive brake pedal travel

    Do you know the bore size of the master cylinder? The smaller the bore, the more travel it requires to displace the same amount of fluid. I think B-Body power disc brake master cylinder bores are around 1" - 1.125". How far is the pedal from the floor to start with? Is the brake booster pushrod...

    heat or no heat for the intake

    If you’re running a divorced choke, blocking the crossover could be a problem. With an electric choke or no choke at all, I don’t see a problem. I have no choke and a blocked crossover, cold idle is a little erratic but drivability improves and the idle is fine within a couple blocks.

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    That doesn't bother me too much, the extra cranking to prime the carb allows the engine to build oil pressure before it lights...
