OMG. Came up on feed... I had a 1971 Satellite Sebring for about 12 years. Put a 318 in it 😄. Came factory with a 383, but had a 273 with a 904T when I bought it... 😁👍
I did this nearly the same way on a 2001 Chevy 4.8L, blocked the intake just after the air cleaner box with a rubber glove, input the smoke through the Brake boost assist vacuum line. Found the leak in the oil fill spout. It even inflated the glove, so i knew it was pressurizing the intake of the engine! I used Swisher sweets too. Good work!
Thats a lot of messing around to do something simple. Almost any spray can will do, but things that don't make a mess like WD40 even deodorant. With the engine running, spray over the lines and manifold. When you hit the leak the rpm will noticeably change momentarily.
If u could spray in all places. The cigarette/ cigar smoke idea allows even the smallest or furthest (think evap) escape to be detected without explosion, messy fluids that may not react well with plastics or rubber or paint or other. Tobacco smoke is very easy to smell/detect.
@@fastinradfordable so you think something like the tar and other contaminants would only hurt the cylinders? Two morons so far. Go ahead genius use a cigar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your wasting your time the gm modules are junk also, if you dont mind geting stranded in heavy traffic, poring rain,0 temperature, the middle of the night in dangerous neighborhoods then just go ahead and do it. Sooner or later you will learn. That very undependable!
Been there ,experienced the pain.But you did not state what was the better way to go.I heard the hei distributor epoxy layered filled coils hold heat which eventually disolves the epoxy causing layer shortaging ,which causes more resistance and slowly kills the ignition module.So it's best to change both or you could burn out the new replacement module on the spot .I purchased the msd 8401 coil cap and eliminated the coil in cap and installed an external oil filled 12 volt coil.Engine ran better had to touch the hood to see if motor was still running. Unless i go to points and condenser on my 1980 oldsmobile delta 88.
It creates the heat that helps soften the vinyl and glue due to the friction. The vinyl and glue are carried off in the eraser dust that you wipe off. It works like a pencil eraser.
Did this in the 80s. Used a remote HEI coil and gm module hidden in a gutted mopar module. Stock mopar distributor. Worked great. 40 kvolts at 6k rpms...measured using a scope.
Good video. I’m building a run stand (Mopar engines mostly) and using an HEI on it, but I’m stuck on a wiring problem. I’m using an alternator on this run stand and the question is, do I need to use a voltage regulator on it? Is the HEI unit a voltage regulator as well? Thanks
I believe if you are running an original mopar alternator that is not internally regulated then you will need an external mopar regulator wired in line between the alternator and battery. There should be aftermarket internally regulated alternators available that only require one wire to the battery.
@@mostlymopar Thanks. I’ve figured it out now. I’m building a run stand with Chrysler components and decided to use an HEI, but for some reason I thought I had to have the VR wired inline with it or something lol🤷♂️. Thanks again.
