Oh I hated Trane, my dealer switched from rheem to trane , I sold it for a year or so & then just dropped it, big bulky Heavy units & the air handlers had to have a bigger hole to get them in the attics, good brand but not worth a heart attack! I did just fine selling Rheem! I made money on it...

K, I think the plugs are champion, they were pregapped & I did double check them, not sure of the # I bought but I would have gone for stock ones. I don't know how the one he checked was 40? I thought I did too, I may have raised the idle a bit when it sputtered on me, but choke was definatly...

Good to hear on both counts, now what do Ido with all that copper! Wonder if it's worth more as scrap than the gas it costs to get there?

Slow & easy are the words, do what you can without too much strain, get yourself healthy again, the car will be waiting to haunt you again!

K he got pulled off my car & it looks like nothing much will get done till next week. In the meantime he did some research, manifold is good to go, & at summit they said go to 17BTDC on the timing & work back till the vacuum drops 1 inch if it doesn't ping your good! about the same as you guys...

K, another question comes up, I was told by Jerry Stein that the manifold he sold me was off a 71 340 engine & it would fit. It seemed to when I put it on, was no problem there, the question is whether all the ports line up to the 360 engine or could that be giving me a problem? Oh yea, idle is...

Might be picking your brain again doc! 2 calls from the mechanic already & we are not past the carb tuning. Good news is he's reading around 14 on the Vac, problem is she's running Rich & still not getting much response from the adjusters. He said the choke was set way off for a new carb & it...

Well now that I drove it a whole block & a half it needed it driving left quite a bit. My guy is pretty good, hasn't destroyed anything on me in 40 years of my cars, work vans & now my kids cars too. & the prices came down after he got to know me/us. He also put the best guy on it, problem is...

Coil is probably 3/4 it's a shame but all manufacturers don't work with the same setups! You can try copper one size smaller on the inside, may be a little loose but you can braze it in. Too bad your so far I saved a bunch of old copper line set leftovers, let me see what I have I can ship em...

Can you get to the back, if so just make the connections there? Are you using quick connects (charged lines) if not just put one size in the other & silver braze it in?

I made it 3 weeks ago, was supposed to go in last monday & I got pushed off another week, my driver he would squeeze in, but since I don't need this it gets less urgency! Then there was my procrastinating about insurance, needed that before I could schedule, at least registration in NJ on...

Waited 3 weeks to get the 'Cuda in, alignment & a bunch of adjusting/double checking my questionable work, see what & how bad I screwed up???????? Might get in a few cruises in before the snows come? Poor car has been sitting at least 20 years now.

Today he routed the lines inside the rail added a bunch of insulating wrap, left too quick to get any pics but he might be a little safer now?

Jass, He looked up those kits, not far off from what He made up, if he decides to keep the truck long term He will try the AGS kit, Thanks for the ideas!

Well that was fun, it's kinda done, He's thinking of a different route inside the rail, but it's put back together now, we are actually getting rather schooled in putting the bed back on! Got some clamping to do, I guess he's waiting to decide on the reroute? The leftovers, the most expensive...

It looked like these babies were clamped 3 times to the bottom of the cab, where a midget monkey couldn't reach. He had already left when I got home, he got them in & ran it a while no leaks yet & no extra warning lights buzzing! He ordered a new bracket for the filter he put in outside the...

Hope Mark doesn't get stuck every 2 miles! I think the big trucks were easier to get to, He wasn't asked to drop the tranny!

Well at least the leak wasn't something we did wrong, a metal line nearthe canister rotted out, I guess all our bouncing things around was enough to finsh it off. After that it was nightmare time, you can't get to anything in there, he checked out u-tube for some hints & basically you have to...

He was a pretty good size for around here, I have a golf course across the street to the left a bit & that backs up to a reservoir area. there's also a pretty large wooded area about a half mile out, so plenty of critters wondering around. So beds off again, leaks not on the top of the...

Couple a bucks grazing across the street!
