Finally found the gremlin

[ALEXGAR]

Those of you who know my 62 will remember that I have had a "whistle" in my engine when it warms up. This is the kind of whistle a construction worker sounds when he is trying to get the attention of the opposite gender from 17 stories up: loud.

I took my vehicle to a mechanic and he found it: The EGR AND the vacuum hoses to it and around it.

I'm so happy! Now I get to spend some parts money at Ralph Hayes Toyota!

Also turns out it is (obviously) causing my rough idle.

 

[Hard40]

Great Alex! All except the Ralph Hayes Part. That could get expensive

 

[89s rule]

yep...are they not some of them generic flex lines?

 

[Turkeypen]

Great news Alex. I will add it to my list of future fixes for my 62! Don't forget to buy the EGR gasket too!

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

you live in SC alex............ ditch the EGR all together, and enjoy a few more ponies

 

[ALEXGAR]

All OEM is going back into my pony.

Rick takes care of us here in UC and he has my Green Light on the purchase.

I am rebuilding the brake cylinders in my 40. Does anyone have experience with this?

 

[72cruiser]

i don't have much experience with cruiser cylinders, but have rebuilt a couple...not too bad really.

i picked up another '71 parts rig this weekend, so if you need any spares alex, let me know and they're yours...

Drum brakes

 

[informationjunky]

Line that goes from air pump to the EGR valve?

 

[ALEXGAR]

Who knows. I don't do my 62 anymore. I pay for someone else to suffer under it.

Don't fight it. Take it from me he's always right about the sucking sound.

You are soooo endearing, Mr. Hardin.

I FART in your general direction!
