How do you fix the gas gauge in a 1984 Chevrolet?
I have had a couple Monte Carlo's and they has fuel level issues as well (usually the sending unit goes bad). The only guarantee way to fix it usually consists of draining the tank, unbolting the tank straps, and carefully dropping the tank. A few jack stands, a jack and help from a friend will make it much easier. Get a flat head screw driver before you do all this to tap the lock ring on the top of the tank in order to release the sendiing unit. Then diconnect it and pop it out. They usually cost anywhere 30-60$ depending on where you get it.

How do you adjust idle on 1988 Chevy pickup?
YOU CAN'T. It is not adjustable and is NOT to be tampered with. VERY important to leave it alone.
You have another problem with the engine sensors if it is idleing to fast are to slow. Is the check engine light on ? If it is you need to have the engine SCANNED with an engine scanner.
Check for vacuum leak that will cause it to idle to fast. TPS/ Throttle position sensor may be bad too.
At what temp should you be worried in a 402 Big Block Chevy?
A 402, is a 396, .030 over. With a thinner cylinder wall, it will heat up a little faster, and higher. Cylinder head warpage occurs around 230, or 240. Your motor should never run this hot on a consistant basis. 180, to 200 degrees should be the normal operating temp.
If my car overheats do I need a new thermostat?
yes
put some money into it
Better info: If your car overheats then there is a problem in the cooling system which can be one of several problems. most are easy check and/or fix yourself.
While the engine is completely cool...do the following
1. As always first check the coolant level in the radiator and/or the reservoir
and make sure it is filled to the proper level with coolant.. it must be filled with engine coolant and not JUST PLAIN WATER (a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is acceptable unless you are operating in extreemly cold conditions)
Inspect all of the radiator and heater hoses for any damage,check all the hose clamps and make sure they are all properly tight.....
(for this step you will need a coolant thermometer or cooking thermometer that can reach a temp of atleast 350*F)
2.After doing the above If your vehicle has a cap on the radiator then remove the cap so that you can see the engine coolant in the radiator..(if your vehicle has only a reservoir and no cap on the radiator itself then it is a sealed system so skip to step 3)...Now if you can clearly see the engine coolant by looking into the radiator then start the vehicle and allow it to run at idle speed,stand and watch the coolant it should move around fairly slowy because the thermostat is supose to be closed when the engine is cold....have someone monitor the temperature gauge or light in the vehicle while you monitor the engine coolant temp with the thermometer by carefully placing it into the radiator.As the engine warms up to operating temp the coolant flow in the radiator should increase in the direction of the upper radiator hose,monitor the temp as it does,the thermostat should be fully open between 125-155*F and you should have a visable fast flow towards the upper radiator hose...
If the flow does not increase and remains slow and the temp reaches 165*F shut down the engine immediately,this would indicate that the thermostat is stuck closed..((Also note that if you see a fast flow towards the upper radiator hose when you first start the engine cold then that may indicate that the thermostat is stuck fully open,which can cause cooling problems,especially in hot weather...)))
(after the engine cools down drain 50% of the engine coolant into a secure container and then change out the thermostat,and refill and test as above )
3. If you have replaced the thermostat and re-tested and your engine is still overheating then this could indicate one or both of two problems.
The first could be that the vehicles coolant(water) pump is not operating properlyand moving the collant as fast as it should..
The second is that the vehicles radiator core could be bad and needs replaced,radiators have small passages inside that can over time become clogged/corroded and coolant will still move through parts of the radiator but it will not cool properly...Since in most cases the coolant(water)pump is cheaper to purchase than a new radiator you should start with the pump first..
If you replace the pump and the engine still overheats then replace the radiator or take it and have it repaired...
Also note that if your vehicle has an automatic transmission the radiator also cools the transmission fluid,so if there are any transmission issues they could affect the cooling system as well,check the transmission fluid to make sure it is the proper color,it should be a nice red color,if the fluid is very dark or almost black then the fluid is getting to hot and you may have a transmission pump issue...

What happens if the valves are adjusted to tight?
If valves are adjusted to tight they will burn. Metal expands and contracts as it heats and cools. Because of this there needs to be some clearance for the metal to expand.
The valve loses most of it's heat through the valve seat. If the valve doesn't seat fully it will start to get hotter and hotter. Sooner or later the valve starts to melt or burnNEW ANSWER: Someone changed my answer to the wrong answer. The correct answer like I said the first time is, if the valve is to tight then it will not seat and you will have very little to no compression on that cylinder. Nother words you will have an engine miss on that cylinder. It can also contack the pistion at TDC / Top dead center and bend the valve.
Why is there Gray sludge in radiator?
There may have been some Bar's leak/stop leak added at one time. Flush system. If that's not the case and it's a milk shake consistency, then you could have a bad head gasket allowing oil into the coolant.
