Can it now compete on the global stag. The new mid-engine layout places Chevy in exotic car territory. Newly revised and updated to include the C8 Corvette, this volume provides excellent context on how the Vette has evolved into the world-class supercar that it is today.

The vacuum tester shows about 18 inches of vacuum. Once we get this dying problem figured out,if we do that is, the other issue we have is the engine almost has a diesel sound when it idles.
It idles smooth but has this annoying diesel sound. Maybe it is the nature of this engine, but I don't think so. Seems I should have rebuilt the and not let the old man talk me into the small block!!!!!!!! The idle is at about the old man said but no matter whether it idles high or low, it still dies. Check your distributer advance, if you have a timing light fire it on the pointer while the engine is idling, bring revs up to rpm or so.
The timing mark should advance smoothly beyond the pointer. If it's eratic theres your problem. Oh and safety first keep the wires and yourself out of the fan. Timing is fine. I am ready to set fire to the whole damn car. Too bad I have to feel like that cause the car is my baby for cryin out loud.
Ever since I threw a rod through the pan on the original , and my hubby decided it needed a small block, this nightmare began. I wish we would have just rebuilt the 6cyl. How old is the fuel in it? Could have tank of fuel that has gone off if it has been sitting a while. What type of Accel ignition points?? Dual points?? HEI distributor. Now he is thinking it is a cam issue. Did you run a new 12v primary wire to the coil from the ignition switch?
Christobevii3 Senior member. Aug 29, 0 Have you ever replaced the distributor? Christobevii3 said:. Jun 19, 18, Check the fuel pressure. The revving up and down in a rhythm sounds like a lean condition. You combine that with stalling and a hard start condition and it very much sounds like a fuel pressure problem.
Don't replace the distributor unless you'd like to throw more parts at the car. The speedo is a curious situation.
Your short theory is off base somewhat. You could still have a short in a circuit that's not energized unless the key is on. I'll have to think about this one for awhile. You mentioned jumping the lawn mower. It seems like a hell of a coincidence that the car starts acting up afterwards.
Anything unusual happen during the jump? No check engine light? If it's not on when running, does it come on at bulb test or with the key on? I own one, so as far as renting I don't know. I would take it somewhere. There is more to it than just checking the fuel pressure. There is a procedure to follow that can tell you whether it's the pump, the regulator or even a blockage in the lines.
It's also important to know what the correct pressure should be. One thing you could do is try a different relay. Find where the fuel pump relay is located and if it's in an underhood relay center, there will be other relays there. Swap the fuel pump relay for another one to see if the problem is corrected. If the engine loses oil pressure the fuel pump will be shut off. You most likely are not loosing oil pressure per se, but instead the oil pressure sender could be going bad.
Worth investigating, but without a guage to check pressure, replacement will be your only option assuming the wiring is not suspect. Edit: There may be multiple senders. If the truck has an actual oil pressure guage, the sender for that may not also function to cut the pump off.
