Sounds lean.
what kind of headers do i use when installling a 72 olds 350 rocket into a 85 olds cutlas supreme ? long tube or short tube headers
For short headers suitable for a 1979 Trans Am with a 403 Olds engine, you can check with specialty automotive parts retailers, both online and in-store. Websites like Summit Racing, JEGS, or Year One often carry performance parts for classic cars. Additionally, forums and communities dedicated to classic Trans Ams may offer recommendations or even used parts for sale. Always ensure that the headers are compatible with your specific engine and vehicle setup.
Check your electrical system. You probably have a short circuit, melted switch, or ghost(and no I do not mean a creepy spooky ghost) in the system.
Stick your mom in the engine then START IT UP!!!
headers may be to small meaning more air coming thru carb or efi than leaving the motor thru the exhaust. You have to think of a motor as a huge air compressor. Had same problem 10 years ago when putting a vette 350 into a Chevy pickup trying to us stock exhaust. Which if read article right this is not a stock exhaust. Glowing headers can be a symptom of a lean condition, vacuum leak, or timing problem (ignition and cam timing).
alternater not charging or bad battery!!battery voltage should be about 12-13 volts when engine is off, and about 14 or 14.5 when running. if all is ok then there is a short in system.
A Chevy small block short block typically weighs around 185-200 pounds, depending on the specific engine model and configuration.
Short answer Yes. Petrol is useful for running a engine, and extremely dangerous if misused.
I have a 1994 Chevy pick up short bed. and i have about 240 stock. i have put a cold air intake on it which is an extra 30 horsepower. I also put headers on which imporved it aswell. I have flowmaster exhaust and i have about 310 horsepower.
This guage is to register the RPM's (revolutions per minute) the engine is running. In short, how much the engine is revved up.
That would be short for "generator" light. If that light is on while the engine is running, the charging system is not working and you are running off of battery power only.
They help with situations where you are trying to fit unusual or tight applications.
