Chevrolet

Advertised Horsepower is : 165 HP @ 3800 RPMs. In 49 states.

Count the # of teeth on the ring gear. Now count the # of teeth on the pinion gear. Now divide the small # into the big # and that will be your gear ratio.

You can't find it because it was not used on that year engine.

5W30 Weight ONLY.

It is inside of the fuel tank.

Between 8 and 12 degrees before TDC... My 454 is set at 10 degrees BTDC and it runs great.

5W30 weight in the winter. 10W30 weight in the hot summer months. DO NOT USE NOTHING HEAVER ARE IT WILL BURN THE VALVE TRAIN UP.

To make that transmission work. You would have to install a computer and wiring harness and speed sensors. That would be alot of money. The 4L80E is a electronic controlled transmission.

Depends on many factors. Condition, model, engine, etc.

There are way too many variables to even guess as to what the car is worth. Engine, transmission, options, 2dr, or 4dr, and most of all quality of the restoration determine it's value. Have it appraised by an expert.

Remember this. When talking about a vehicle, left and right. Put yourself in the drivers seat looking foreward and then look where your left and right is.

The left bank will be the drivers side of the engine. Right bank is the passenger side of the engine.

On hydraulic lifter engines tighten the rocker arm adjustment nut 3/4 turn after you have found zero lash adjustment point. On an engine with solid lifters set then to .026 cold.

No. But it is made by GM (General Motors) and GM makes GMC, Chevrolet, and the Hummer cars.

Bad exhaust valve / Not seating in the head

When doing this job, a filter and fluid change is recommended. Remove the transmission vale body cover. Do this slowly to drain off the fluid in one of the corners. The filter is mounted to the valve body. The two solenoids sit together in the valve body. Unplug the wiring harness from each solenoid They are held in by a clip, you may need a needle nose pliers to help remove these clips. The solenoid A will have some light spring pressure pushing it out after clip is removed. After removing the solenoids, check to make sure both valve move freely in the body. Take care not to scratch the valve spool, or body port. They should move very easily. If all moves, wipe fluid off vale body, clean gasket area, put everything back together.

Remove the shift linkage and the bolts that hold the switch to the side of the transmission then rotate the switch while removing it from the shaft.

You BEST leave that to a PRO/ transmission man.

2 dr. hardtop for sure. 4dr hardtop is also very desirable. Convertibles are also desirable and the 4dr sedan the least valuable. The most valuable is the Nomad.

GM released a global sales for 2008 as 8.35 million vehicles. Out of that total 5.37 million of those vehicles were sold outside the U.S.. good-day !

Your 1972 454 does not have sodium filled stainless steel valves with rotators as far as I know, so it would be unwise to run unleaded fuel. I would add a lead additive. Do so more research to make sure I am correct, but I am 98% sure I am.

First you need to find TDC (top dead center) on your #1 cylinder. #1 cylinder on a sbc is the cylinder nearest the front of the vehicle on the drivers side. You need to locate the groove in the harmonic balancer and locate the pointer on the timing chain cover. This pointer should be marked with dashes to indicate the timing. you will more than likely see the following marks... 8,6,4,2,0,2, You want the groove in the balancer to line up with the zero mark. With a 5/8" socket on the crankshaft bolt use a large breaker bar type ratchet to turn the engine clockwise until the groove is at the zero dash mark on the pointer. This indicates TDC. But your not done yet. You need to make sure that you are at TDC of the power stroke and not the exhaust stroke. To do this you want to remove the left side (driverrs side) valve cover. As you turn the engine over with your 5/8 socket you need to watch 2 things... one being the pointer and groove on the balancer the other being the #1 cylinder intake rocker arm. This rocker arm is the second one in from the front. As you see that rocker arm open and then close you should be close to TDC. Once you get there you need to stop. you are now at TDC of the power stroke. If you continue to rotate around a second time you will see that the first rocker arm (exhaust) will open and close, if you then stop at TDC this will be incorrect, you will be at TDC of the exhaust stroke.

Once you are at TDC, its time to install the distributor. Start by removing the cap so you can see the rotor. place the distributor down the hole and you will see the rotor move as the distributor gear comes in contact with the cam gear. When the distributor is fully seated on the intake you want that rotor to be pointing at aprox the #7 intake rocker arm. This is the rocker arm 2nd from the back. Place the cap back on and the #1 spark plug wire should go on the cap terminal that is closest to where that rotor is pointing. If the distributor wont fully seat on the intake, you may need to pull it back out and turn the oil pump drive shaft a bit. To do this you need a long flat head screwdriver that will reach it. Use a flashlight to look in and see about where it is and its depth. Usually this is not necessary. You may need to wiggle the crap out of it, or try positioning the rotor in a different spot before dropping it in. It must seat fully on the intake, if it does not, you can damage the cam and dist gears.

You sell optra, then buy camaro.

GM engine block # 3970010 was used as early as 1968 on some 327ci engines. From 1969-1979 it was a 350ci engine. It could be a 2 or 4 bolt block used in cars, trucks and even corvettes. You can also find these blocks with a "MEXICO" stamp on them near the block ID. It has been said that these are high nickle content blocks and may be stronger than others.
