The engine I am going to set up is a g161 engine (1600cc) The chevette forged pistons i have are from a chevette 1600 engine.

If you put G161 pistons in a chevette engine they will pop out of the top of the block.I have 2 sets of forg...

This problem is sometimes referred to as lean pop. It is caused by too lean a mixture from the carby when the throttle is closed to allow the plug to ignite it. It builds up in the exhaust and then ignites. Thats what the coaster enricher solenoid if for. It richen up the mixture enough for the engi...

CA18det uses different injectors and they use dropping resistors on the injector feeds that the CA18de does not use. The ECU also has a different memcal. I suspect that the det injectors are of lower impedance. I tried to run my de motor with a det ecu and it didn't run...just randomly coughed a few...

Or you could do what some idiot did to my daughters wagon before we picked it up. Car obviously wouldn't move so the handbrake cable was cut,then they cut the bundy pipe on both sides of the diff then cut the rear brake line halfway under the floor. All that was needed was a tap on the drums with a ...

If its a sedan then the spacer and the longer bolts fit the belts to the floor below the B pillar. Should be a wave washer under the bolt head and a normal washer on the other side of the belt fixture. Tranny tunnel fitting has a normal washer under the bolt head. and the B pillar fitting has the bo...

Unfortunately the pics make the paint look a lot better than it really is. The underlying surface rust will need to be removed which means a strip to bare metal on all the surfaces facing upwards. It has had a repair at the front of the bonnet and at the boot at the lock position. There are several ...
