    Stripped Manifold Connection Holes? Oh No!

    Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

    Stripped Manifold Connection Holes? Oh No!

    Just had my manifolds back from the machine shop. The intake and exhaust were loosely bolted together while I re-attached them to the 2F with a nice new gasket. The last bolts to tighten were the 5 connector bolts (3 upper and 2 lower) that hold the intake and exhaust together. 3 uppers were...

    1977 EVAP System Challenge

    Thanks for responding! Based on those photos it sure looks like you know what you're doing! VSV does activate, even at 11 volts, and it did pass the air test when activated. So that said, I may send that pretty on the outside controller to you and see if you can check it out. The tabs don't...

    1977 EVAP System Challenge

    I recently replaced my fuel tank and fuel filler tube, and while in there replaced all of the fuel hoses and decided to take a shot at restoring the EVAP system, including: - new check valve (mine was missing, just had a line from the fuel vapor container to an open-ended hard line that led to...

    Carburetor Debris

    For years I've battled the carburetor idle circuit blockage, I'd say once or twice a year. If the carb was noticeably staring to misbehave, I'd run a bottle of fuel system cleaner and lo and behold, made the situation worse. Had the tank boiled and sealed, fuel lines replaced, but the problem...

    Another only runs when choke pulled thread

    I've experienced repeated obstruction in the idle circuit. On two occasions the circuit clogged soon after using fuel system cleaner. I run only 90-octane ethanol-free gas from a good station, so I don't think fuel is the issue. I've had the tank boiled and sealed with new lines to the fuel...

    Power Steering Cooler Size vs. Hose

    I've looked at those also. Was hoping to go OEM as much as possible, but function more important. I'm only running 31" tires and don't think it will ever get bigger. 33" at the most. Where do you have your cooler located? Inside fender?

    Power Steering Cooler Size vs. Hose

    Thanks Justin for the response. So are you advising that if I could have a tube bent in 3/8, that would be the correct, and closest to OEM size?

    Power Steering Cooler Size vs. Hose

    I recently installed a mini-truck power steering box with with OEM style pump from City Racer on my 1983 2F. I also purchased a reproduction oil cooler from Classic Tube. During the install, my shop advised that because the low-pressure hose size is 3/8, and the cooler diameter is 5/16, it...

    2F Cold Start Squeal

    Here is the belt, which I’m pretty sure is correct, but the manual indicates it should to sticking out the top a bit?

    2F Cold Start Squeal

    So I've loosened and tightened the belt, not much change. Sprayed some belt dressing on there and seemed to temporarily stop the problem. I know I have the correct alternator, mount, pulley and belt, but one edge of the belt seems to be wearing a bit more, and maybe just a little bit off...

    2F Cold Start Squeal

    This squeal occurs at startup when cold. This is a 1983 2F block with a Toyota dizzy from City Racer equipped with pertronix lobe sensor ignition. The noise seems to be coming from the distributor area, so it has me thinking a bearing in the distributor is shot. Have any of you heard this...

    Pertronix and Timing Problem

    I have a City Racer distributor (19100-61180) and just switched my old Pertronix ignition out to the 1662LS. After reinstalling, I thought it would only need a minor adjustment on timing, but I can't turn the distributor enough to even see the BB. When I turn the dizzy, it has a short range...

    Carburetor Spacer and Gasket

    I've been having some serious issues with idle, and was in the process of installing a carb from my friend GA Architect. Noticed that the bottom of the carb, the gasket, and the spacer don't seem to add up. My carb (and Rick's) have the third smaller hole on the bottom. The spacer only has...

    Power Steering Options

    I'm looking to install PS on my 77. Have reviewed several options, but leaning towards an OEM 79-pump and a minitruck box. I have no AC or air pump. Just the alternator on passenger side. The 2F engine block number (2F 789281) I believe to to be from 1983, and I don't know what year head is...
