That's what I suspected. I hated it when that happened. ;) Seriously, I always have preferred for the car to let me know when it's near the edge, and that has usually been when the tyres start to sin

Why would the timing of the cam and distributor be out? If they have not been removed, they can't have changed. The timing chain cannot jump a tooth. It's possible the distributor drive gear is insta

Possibility the line is clogged? I doubt it's needle and seat in float bowls, since it would be odd for it to happen to both. Sometimes if there's some water in the tank and it gets into the fuel fil

Liquid Wrench will work miracles if you are patient and willing to dose them a few times. Then some sandblasting does the rest. I think it's fun to tune them. Wish you hadn't pitched them; I would ha

I'm a bit confused by this message, since it sort of sounds to me like you are dealing with a carb with an external float bowl with the top affixed using the sealing ring, whereas HIF carbs have an I

I'm hesitant to use much heat on suspension parts, so I have a technique for such things: I use LOTS of Liquid Wrench, applied two or three times a day for a few days, then if that doesn't loosen it

Sounds like the fluid is leaking; first you need to find out where it's leaking. I would guess it's the slave cylinder, but that's not necessarily the case. Look under the car and see where it's leak

If it was the shafts, bumping the throttle would not ever work to get it back down. Something is holding the throttle(s) open. Usually this is a broken wire in the cable, intermittently sticking. I w

No need to press; on most cars with this setup, all you have to do is tap gently on the head once it's in place, just to start the stud, then you use a nut and a lug-wrench to pull it through. -Rock

In my experience, it would make a lot of noise and wobble first. Flex hoses have been known to deteriorate inside, sometimes acting like a one-way valve, so that pressure is pumped up in a wheel cyli

Might not be coming from inside the head. Might be a pinhole leak in a hose that only happens when it's fully hot. I would treat it like a detective story: thoroughly clean the area again, make sure
