Disty fix works great!

Just wanted to thank Gro Harlem for the write up on this distributer fix. I recently did this, and it works great. Total cost about 75 dollars or so. The HEI was from a 1982 chevette, and that was about 50 dollars. The rest of the wires and connectors made up the 25 dollars extra. I may add an exter...

Mine just died at 251000 km. Now the replacement is doing the same thing, RPMS cutting out at highway speeds every 10 minutes or so. Im going to give that permanent disty fix a shot.

Re: weird alternator problems

350 canadian. You pay what you have to pay to get it done as fast as possible. If I wanted to go bargain hunting I probably could have saved 50 bucks. tops.

Should take a hint from GM and put the alternator at the TOP of the engine!

Re: weird alternator problems

Im taking my car in tomorrow morning to have another alternator put in. Probably a rebuilt one. My battery has no juice left in it, undoubtedly because it boiled off from running at 23 volts! Any idea how much Im going to get gouged for? I wish I could do it myself, but it looks pretty hard, space w...

Sometimes when I start the car, the light is off and wont come on for the whole trip. I replaced the battery, had it load teste...

Mine were done at a place in markham ontario...but you should be able to find a local place to do yours. Its...

Re: Enigine Stalls if you abrubtly hit gas????

it couldn't hurt to replace both o2 sensors. But they are supposed to be disgusting looking. There is another way to test them I think.

You can hear a suction noise? If you dont have a cold air intake, there could be a nice vacuum leak in the intake assembly.

Re: Enigine Stalls if you abrubtly hit gas????

Maybe unplug the VAF start the car, and see if any of the conditions have changed. This could rule out the Vaf being faulty or not. If there is no change then the Vaf has gone for the ****s. I remember when I redid my intake I forgot to plug the vaf in and the car barely moved...
