Will the Rapco 383 paints rattle cans hold up to the engine heat on the valve covers and other engine parts EXCLUDING MANIFOLDS.
Search returned that others have used enamal OD green non heat on engine parts with good luck.
I have some Rapco and wanted to paint some items while I have them...
I have read a large number of your posts and in my opinion you do not cross any lines. In all cases you have provided input and assistance and in some cases pushed your product. You are not forcing anyone to buy anything from you.
I could see where another vendor may have an issue with the...
Calvin lets see some pictures of your M62!!!!! YOu will have to get good on some creative problem solving to keep your costs down from shipping parts from the mainland.
We need a few more details,
1.) What carb are you working on, please clarify vehicle
2.) What exactly did you do in your change out?
3.) How much did you rip apart?
4.) You took it apart for a reason, what was it doing before
the more details the better answers you will get.
Here is a picture of the main throttle body after assembly. The throttle plates are wide open. When you are assembling there are 2 bearings that are key to the throttle plate shaft. Mine were shot and here is a neat trick.
Get some 608 skateboard bearings, then tape the outside of the...
Update: Saturday morning me an 73m819 got the carb installed. She fired up quickly but was running at WOT and had to be choked back extensively until we figured out the throttle linkage was not hooked up correctly. The carb by design is in a WOT position and the throttle plates are held by the...
Vt, the bowl was okay, lots of dirt really the problem was in the air passages and all the air valves. These were solid gunk, I went through a gallon of high dollar car cleaner and it is clean. I think these things would run through anything but now having tore apart I know what I have and...
Day 5, quick update. I was baffled for a day on why the throttle plates where in wot position when I assembled the carb. 4 tear downs later I remembered an old post where it was explained that the carb is a reverse vacumn carb and the plates start at wot.
We are putting on at 7:00 am...
More pictures for those that love pictures! The items not in the rebuild kit are as follows:
1.) Float Gauge
2.) Idle screw springs (I thought that strange)
3.) no screws/washers
Other than that the kit is complete and looks great. I will be rebuilding tonight if I can get my accelerator...
Okay good progress tonight, After a gallon of carb cleaner I can see the carb again and have clean passageways. Even figured out where all the parts go :beer:
Here is a new picture of the clean body and original picture for comparison.
Holley Float Gauge
If any one has the Holley Float gauge laying around I need the measurement from the bottom of the main body cover assembly to the bottom of the float.
There are references to the 885FFG carb at 5/32" clearance from the top of float to the assembly but that is a different beast.
I got the M62 home to Georgia 2 weeks ago and have been working on trying to get her running. The story is that this engine has had serious engine problems as far back as anyone on ss can remember. Last Friday me and 73M set out to see if we could get the motor to fire.
We actually had it...
Phil I got lost in the milage a long time ago!!!!! I think you are logging as many miles as Santa on a busy Christmas Eve. Make all those good little girls and boys happy with their new AC units and deliveries.
Be Safe :mrgreen:
The TM's are not to bad they just take reading them a few times to be comfortable with what they are saying and then trying to follow along. A few key points,
1.) vacumn the floor, dirt kills your seals
2.) Keep everything clean clean clean
Read this TM, it makes things a bit easier to...
Nanner Pudding Updates
PB I would like to thank you for guarding the Nanner pudding all day until this **** Yankee got an education on good southern cooking. :jumpin:
I get to Zouts later in the afternoon and the first thing I hear is that I have to go over and find PB cause he has been...
