Speaking of Beer... from Portland, Maine

.

I heard that a local dealer would use a bay at the end of the shop and curtain it off so no one but specific techs could see what was going on when an engine was about to be replaced. Kinda reminds me of the Vega days with their lawn mower engines....

Go on any extended trips or mostly local drive in nights with the car?

As others have said, basic engine mechanics should be applied. Start with a vacuum guage. If its reasonable move to fuel. How big is the fuel line from your tank. If its 5/16 thats your issue. If it has a small kink, thats an issue. Is the fuel tank clean and the pickup sock clean? As mentioned...

Congrats.

I was there too at a GMC dealer. What a fiasco. We had around 2 dozen junk engines piled up behind the shop waiting for the parts rep to authorize them as warranty. (it was a audit thing) We took them to a local scrap yard and cashed in. That bought pizza and refreshments for our service meetings.

And there's this.... Damaged connecting rods, black oil, overheating, and faulty crankshafts were previously identified as issues in a teardown of the L87 V8 engine, and at mileages that are unusually low for such issues.

Welcome from another WI neighbor. Sweet Plymouth you have there. Like to see some more photos when you can post ‘em up.

Yep,looks like stinking *** with those goofy looking wheels and hubcaps. No one is fooled by a Sassy Grass Green Road Runner with a black hood stripe and 440+6 decals.....must be a sleeper.....not! My 70 V code 4 speed Road Runner had a proper set of 15x7 Rallye wheels on it.

Yes

I remember that very well! My dad used to buy Chevy pickups for work but bought Chrysler cars since 51. The pickups did ok but seems like there were always something wrong however minor. Yup, GM gave the diesel engine a black eye for sure.

welcome to FBBO nice looking satellite

Ill be needing a set shortly. Im sticking with bias slicks myself...

Enjoy. Unfortunately I'll be missing this year. My pooch has been sick. Missing a lot of traveling...

If you check the below link.. this video is about the "Blaster 2" coil, the use of the ballast resistor is mentioned about half way thru.. Use of it depends on the rest of the components of the ignition system. Different coils require specific resistances for the ballast, one value does is not...

Why???? perhaps it's because YOU don't understand how the system works either. Wirh regard to the UNNAMED person eluded to, perhaps, he would benefit the most for a complete understanding of how things function rather than the disconnected inaccurate ramblings normally presented..... BOB RENTON

Not to bad really. Take the elct harness off, Ensure the IGN wires w 1 and 2 wires work, then 12VDC to the pos side of the coil and the ground lead from the dist to the neg side of the coil. Ballast resistor should be.5=-.6 warm.
