Well, you could always use a carb from a Clark forklift if you really wanted to save on gas. 
The downside is it's take two weeks to get home. 
Seriously, a friend of mine did just that on a Chevy Vega back in the '70s because he had a daily commute from San Diego to L.A. . No power on the hills, but he did get over 55. mpg. |
Yeah that would save gas alright, that 468 would be dying, LOL.. 
Besides getting better mileage, it ran about 10 degrees cooler too!.

| Quote (Sleek-Jet @ May 30 2006,8:57 pm) | Since we're talking about this... anyone know where the AIR pumps feed on a non-cat system??
The MH has 2 airpumps with no belt and no hose feeding anywhere, and so they failed it on equipment, even though they let me run it and it passed with flying colors... Â 
Interesting to note that Colorado is about stop emmission testing. Â The number of non computerized car's is so low on the roads, that they are going to a sniffer system on the road sides (most likely on ramps). Â You'll only have to take your car in if one of the road side systems pick up if you are over the limit. |
Ain't that a rip, clean as can be but they won't pass you because of the junk, meanwhile it's supposed to be all about clean air, yeah right!.. 
If I remember right the pumps fed into a port at the end of the heads, of course depending on the year it could be different, not sure???.. 
They had those road dogs here too a few years back, they would sit on the on ramps, if you failed you'd get a letter in the mail, that didn't last too long. The trick was to haul ass down the on ramp and back off for a bit as you went by them!.

There also may be a port on the intake where it feeds the EGR valve.

Agreed....
However, on closer inspection, everything is there and hooked up. The two lines pointing aft are plugged/capped off, I was thinking they might have gone to the cat if there was one. As it is now, the AIR lines feed into fittings in the back of the heads. All I need is a belt.
Of course, it is the rear most belt on the crank pulley, so all the others have to come off first. 
A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

What do you guys think about putting a quart of tranny fluid in a older motor for about 50 miles in order to free up some sticky lifters? By the way right now the eng doesn't leek any oil on the driveway (the seals are good).

I wouldn't ATF is not motor oil, put a can of CD2 in (the lifter stuff)that works pretty good, but if they're real bad it's time for a tear down!.. Don't understand what people got against changing the oil!..

I put one bottle of CD2 in yesterday. I am waiting to see how it does before I take more aggressive action. My plan was to run that long enough to clean things out and I have a K&N oil filter and synthetic oil for the oil chg (this weekend?).

The thing sounds like a thrashing mach when I start it up and clams down at oper temp. I also noticed according to the guage it's at 40 psi cold and 20 psi hot at idle. Seeing as I just got the thing maybe the guy had thin oil in it and I can chg it with a 20-40w and help it out that way?

Is that like the Lucas stuff that thickens the oil?

STP is really thick, almost like honey.
If you're going to trade a knocking car in at the dealer, a couple cans will usually do it.
