  I had recently bought a 93 didnt shake but it sure did backfire after getting off the gas near 3k rpm range i ended up having optispark symptoms so i changed it out (MSD OPTI) and no more backfiring, but it shakes a bit at idle, the previous owner did tell me that there is an aftermarket cam in it explains the slight chop to the exhaust

  @@bluesxt Hmmm, I guess I must be a bit more dated than you, back in my high school days, we were always changing the points and condenser along with the plugs, cap, and rotor. When you run top line wires, they’ll usually outlast a couple sets of plugs unless you have headers and the wires get up against a tube or two. Edit: HEI distributors were still very new then and the first modules weren’t so good. If you come out one day and your engine won’t start, after verifying you have 12V at the battery lug on the HEI cap, take the rotor out and bend that center stainless steel tab up, then hold it up where it’s between you and a light, if you can see light through a pinhole in that tab, that will be your no spark problem. I worked on one of mine for almost a whole day before I found that. New rotor in and it fired right up. You can’t see the hole just looking at it, it’s so small you have to hold it up to a light to find it.

  That's quite a drastic change in sound levels. I could definitely hear when to shift gears with all that sound "telling" me what to do. Wouldn't have to read the tachometer all the time. Exhaust technology is very interesting. I've heard one could use the frequency of the exhaust pulses in a certain rev range and exploit their accompanying scavenging effects among the cylinders to calculate WHERE to install an H- or X-pipe. Mind you...that is IF you have the freedom to put such devices anywhere you like underneath the car. AS you know better than I, there are clearance issues involved. I'm fascinated how companies and individuals time the pulses and scavenging effects to get the sound effects they want over a specified area of the power curve. It's easy to see why so many people spend lots of money and time on it. I'm not sure...but maybe somewhere you have already captured some video of your tachometer and its readings when you're racing on the track. Maybe you can concentrate your attention on the rev range you use in racing and use that to help you calculate where want to put any exhaust devices in the machine. From your enthusiasm, I'd say you'll enjoy learning how to weld your exhaust. I've watched you become an expert at A/C maintenance, and I'm confident you would do well as a welder whenever you want to try mastering that discipline. In the meantime...enjoy racing! Aloha!

  Search for an ac receiver drier kit for your c10. You’ll want a drier, an orifice tube and orings. That is standard stuff for any time you do ac work to your vehicle. The conversion kit you can find on Amazon for cheap, just search for r134a conversion kit. And then of course you’ll need to flush the ac lines and then add some sort of r134a compatible oil

  A battery that consistently spins the starter over at a high rate is doing it's job, and is not defective. I have read the instructions for a later, alternator and it says to idle the engine till warm, then hold throttle at 2000 rpm for a few seconds, when it will be charging. This has in some cases replaced earlier methods of activation, and like ordinary driving.

  Congratulations on your successful completion of your first Power Tour! You did everything right! So many other participants I've seen in videos over the years have NOT had as cool and comfy of an experience as you two did! Simply marvelous. As a curmudgeonly old man, I say that you did the exhaust system correctly. I found the sound INSIDE your cabin to be well-controlled and nice. Any louder, and you two would have frayed your nerves...and your ears would not have been very pleased, either. It's not my vehicle...but at my age, I'd make the same trade-offs YOU DID. You gained hours of relaxed comfort on the road that outweighed a few seconds of loud, ear-melting fury for an audience outside the vehicle. I hope you two are nice and rested up and recovered from your adventures. Aloha 'til next time!

  I have a 1975 Chevy K10 that I've had to daily drive to work many times. When my other vehicles break I drive my old Chevy. She's always reliable. My truck has an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb. It's pretty much like a quadrajet. If I drive it every day I only need to give it 1 pump for it to start. If it sits for several days it does take a lot of pumps to start it. The fuel has just evaporated away I think. I'm assuming with your truck it could be the carb just needs a little adjusting or maybe there are some leaky gaskets. Its hard to say. Its an old truck ha ha. As long as it starts thats the main thing. A word of advice about the AC. I recently recharged the freon on my truck. I never had tried the AC in the 10 years I've owned it. After doing that the AC did mostly work but the high pressure line would freeze up. Turns out the orifice tube in the line was clogged up. That caused the blockage. So before you put freon in there, check that orifice tube! Anyways, thanks for sharing your beautiful C10 with us! Best of luck!

  you just saved me a lot of money! side note, weird issue I still have is the radiator fan only turns on when I have the A/C button on with the fan setting at any level except off. I thought using the AC was usually something that adds heat, but weirdly my radiator fan will kick right on when I turn on the AC only, I also tested it with the temp sensor unplugged and the AC button off, and it would not turn on. Then with or without the temp-sensor plugged in, it would only turn on once I turned on the AC. Im wondering if anyone knows if saturns have some kind of bypass where the AC motor automatically turns on the radiator fan, it would make sense since the AC draws heat and the radiator fan might naturally engage with AC on? Any thoughts? I am pretty sure my temp sensor is bad, but even with it unplugged the AC engages the radiator fan.

• 
  @bluesxt2 ай бұрын

  Typically turning the AC on will turn the fan on. This is in order to keep the AC functioning optimally when you’re sitting still in traffic. As for only turning on when turning AC on, the fans on these cars don’t kick on until 5/8 on the temp gauge!
