Pretty sure hydro lifters have a sticker on the rocker cover telling you not to adjust the tappets. If it doesnt have the sticker I would just assemble it with the standard tolerances.

Legacytt, pretty sure Silverbullet plans on the standard motor with twin carbies. He's the best one to answer that though. Measured the windows today, only 7.5amps all going up. Mine dont seem to struggle too bad and are factory. I dont know what the aftermarket ones you installed will draw, you nee...

Up to you really. I think the "proper" way is to run individual power feeds to each light but in the case of our subarus the voltage drop from jumping from one lamp to the next will be unnoticeable. I did some measurements today with the clamp meter at work. My car draws about 10amps at idle with th...

Pauls off for a few weeks in a couple of days.

4 amps per light, so for a quad headlight like mine thats 8 amps lo beam and 16amps high beam. It depends on how you wire it to what gauge you need. You can wire it up with all the lights having separate power and GND feeds, or you can do what I did and run a heavier wire down to the drivers light, ...

Sam, a few things I remember from when I did mine. Headlights draw about 4 amps each, interior cabin fan was pretty hungry, around the 7amp mark, thermo fan (white one in metal shroud) is pretty greedy, cant say Ive measured it but its probably around the 8-10amp mark. fuel pump, couple amps, indica...

Interesting device, Nice one Tweety. I always found with my motor that it likes to idle rich. I have a wideband in it so I could see the mixture but I always tuned for the best manifold vacuum which was around the 13-1 range. Mixture will most definitely be different under load.

No I never made my own ignition controller, I wasnt brave enough! My car is using a 36-1 timing ring on the crank pulley. Then my microsquirt ecu is driving the coil packs and doing the timing control. You can still use a distributor with programmable ignition, a lot of car manufacturers did. It req...

Programmable ignition has been the best all round improvement to my engine. Good gains down low and mid range. I imagine if I got it dyno tuned then the top end would be better as well. No need for COP, I would stick to wasted spark. Simpler and as far as our engines are concerned no difference in p...

Just my thoughts but I did have two 34mm single throat webers I was going to do something similar with a long time ago. I swapped them with some other bits to Toonga. My hunch would be that it would be very little improvement over standard, it would be a lot harder to tune and keep in tune and when ...

I went from digi to 6 gauge but I dare say some of the colors are the same across all cars of the era.

And sorry for the crudity of my notes, they were cheat sheets that I used before testing what each wire did.

From your description I would say fuel pump is knackered. How old is the pump? During high load the fpr will not bypass as much fuel. If the pump is worn out and it cannot keep up the pressure will start to drop in the rail. When you back off and pull over the pressure shoots back up and you can tak...

The sway bar mounts and sway bar-radius rod bushes were Nolathane branded. I actually got the links a few months ago (so I don't have the packet for the part #) because the passenger side had herniated out of the side and was clacking away. The LCA and Radius rod bushes I go off ebay a week or so ag...

New LCA, radius rod and sway bar bushes in the front of the MY wagon. Old ones were Rooted, it was playing havoc on my camber and chewing out my tires. Now they are neutral if not slightly negative, certainly close enough for me to adjust. Took a bit longer then I wanted but wasn't really hard. Cert...
