What I want to get out of cam quest is to see how steep the torque curve drops off with different cams. It is more of a learning experience for me. Once it is time to pull the trigger I will seek the advice of the gurus and compare it to my findings.

I'm working on camquest by comp cams to play around with to see what kind of cam to possibly look into. I have an 86 with the cast iron heads and an lt1 intake. The only questions that I have is what is the total induction airflow that I have? Or how do I find out?

Yes, it is the stock balancer. I think going by earis going to be the best bet for me. Wife will be happier that I don't need to buy MY OWN timing light. win, win.

I just put the lt1 intake on my '86 l98. Everything has been re-assempld but I have a question on the timing.
I set the timing by ear at first(before I had a timing light.) When I put the light on what I thought was optimal, it was at 8-10 degrees advanced. The stock setting is 6. I set the timing to 6 degrees and it just didn't seem to run as well. If I advance it back to 8 degrees am I going to get burn spots on my pistons or any other ill effects?

I'm double checking with the geniuses before I order the adapters for my fuel lines...
I have an early 86 and am converting to an lt1 intake. The fuel line connections are 3/8" and 5/16" on the stock hard lines, correct? I looked in the FSM and Haynes but they weren't very specific. Thanks in advance!

1. So I need to make the u turn?
2. How do I identify the pressure line? 3. I think it's called the MAT sensor. MAM has the kit to move it to the air box for $50 or so. Yes there is a single wire connected to it. It looks kinda like an o2 sensor. 4. mmk

Howdy y'all! I'm convertine my early '86 to and LT1 intake but have a few questions...
1. On the LT1 manifold, there is a vacuum hose that does a "U turn" on the drivers side. What is the point of that and can I just cap those plugs? 2. When hooking up the fuel lines, how do I know which line is the sending and which is the return line? I am referring to when I hook up the fuel rail, which line gets the FPR and which one doesn't? 3. The TPI has a sensor near the brake booster vacuum connection, but there seems to not be one on the LT1, can I just delete the sensor or do I have to buy the relocating kit? 4. I am interested in writing a tech article on how to install an aftermarket alarm with keyless entry. What do I have to do to get it up here? Thanks, Jack

I've got an early '86...
When I let the vehicle idle, whether at a stop light or in the garage, after a good 30-45 seconds I get this noise. It sounds as though the rocker arms are making this noise. The noise only comes from the drivers side. It sounds about the same frequency as a machine gun doing blasts. Is my engine knocking? The rpms dip about 1000 rpms when the noise happens and it sounds like the engine is bogging. Thanks, Jack

what kind of grease do you put in the zerk? The ones I ordered came with the zerks and are not greased at first glance.

I've got a bad u joint in the rear, so I'm going to replace it. Am I supposed to replace all 4 at the same time, or is that not necessary?

Anyone tried out the new BBK intake? I don't think the price seems THAT out of line when ou look at the cost of some of the other intakes. Does the stock fuel rail and FPR work with it? Is it even worth checking out?

Dumb question:
How do you add oil to your engine if your valve covers don't have an oil cap hole?

I'll let you know. I am looking for the fun factor, but my car is an auto, so it's not pure apples to apples. I'm leaning towards the 3.73s. I'd say I'm a little more hillbilly than I am an engineer.

CC: So If I'm on the freeway and I hit the gas with 3.73s, is it going to feel like I'm driving a golf cart? How much better would the 3.53s be in that same scenario?

I would love to put a cam and some new heads in the '86, but realistically I most likely never will. So as far as the higher revs it doesn't sound like theres that much difference between the 3.53s and 3.73s.

My car:
86 auto stock 3.07s stock tranny and stall LTs and true dual exhaust are the only mods. I cannot decide between 3.73s and 3.53 for my rear end D36. What I need to know: When I change my gear ratio, how much more power will the 3.73s provide over the 3.53s, and how much more fuel efficient are the 3.53s over the 3.73s? Obviously everyone's results will vary, but I need a starting point. Thanks, Jack I should add that it is a daily driver, but not my only means of transportation. If I cant drive it in the rain I'll survive. I do some highway driving, but mostly in the city.

That makes sense, but how do you get the sensor to fit? I don't have nearly enough clearance. FWIW I have an '86, so yours may be different.

For the dudes and dudettes that have electronic fuel pressure gauges, this question is for you...
Where in Tar Nation do you find the hardware to connect the fuel pressure senser to the schraeder valve? Or how else do you hook the sensor up? I've looked at all types of fittings and am still not getting anywhere. Thanks, Jack

TO SUM IT ALL UP......
1. The engine will be cleaner, but not necessarily lubricate any better. 2. No difference in driveability or performance. 3. Longer change intervals. 4. Car may leak afterwards. 3 sounds really nice, but 4 kinda doesn't get me excited. So I'm basically not seeing any benefit to switching unless someone really says otherwise. Again, '86 with 93k. I'm going to run this thing into the ground, so I'm concerned with longetivity of the engine life.

Hi folks, I've got a question. What is the real benefit to changing my oil to synthetic. My buddies say that I HAVE to do it because the cur runs "so much better." So what does changing over eally do?

It says to add a "0" to the front of the part number when ordering. It's for a camaro, but I'm sure if you contact hooker, they will make exactly what you want.

Do they have purpleish rust on the outside? I have a handful of codes right now: egr, lean, est. I've never looked at them in the dark, but I think that's why I'm getting the purpleish rust color on my headers. However, after 6 months, the purple has not spread at all or gotten any bigger.
soooooooooo... Based on my 60% confidence level, I think it is normal and will stop after time. EDIT: Saw you post on "the other site," and I've got $100 bucks on 2 "check your FSM" and one "if you use the search function..."

you'll be fine with 1 new tire IMO if it's a daily driver. It's not uncommon to do 2 tires though.

according to tpis, that's what i should run at. (back of package on adjustable fuel pressure reg). Headers, and basically straight pipes are my performance mods.

...of boost that is. No, just kidding. Say I want 47 psi for my fuel pressure...
When testing it: Do I have the FPR hose disconnected or connected? Do I have the car idling, or just in the run position? How long after I kill the motor should it hold this pressure? Thanks in advance.

I replaced mine this summer, thinking it was going to be this huge deflowering for me. When I was done I thought, "that wasn't too bad." Even for a first timer it wouldn't be too bad, as opposed to replacing a cam, tranny work, etc.

When I see things like this: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=2127260
I wonder if I am God's gift to mechanics or just not a complainer. I don't think doing the heater core is that "hard," it just takes time. Overall it's a learning experience on how to remove a seat and pieces of the dash! Anyone else agree with me?

You can tap in one of them from the throttle body if it has the extra port on it. I don't have a MR, but that's what came to my mind.

There's an air pump delete bracket/ pulley out there for a cool $120, or check for a used one on ebay.
MAF should be fine. EGR: take it or leave it. The EGR system is a mess. It seems as though GM made it very hard to delete (for me at least) with all of the vacuum hoses and sensors all over the place. Just be sure you have vacuum where you still need it i.e. the Fuel Pressure Regulator, etc. I would recommend a true dual setup for your exhaust. I like it, others hate it.

Since you have a datamaster, you can disregard this. But there is the paperclip method of detecting SES light codes on the ALDL port.

Yeah, I just want to go $1500 per year on it. I want to stay fuel injected. Getting the plenum ported, and bigger runners and porting the manifold doesn't seem to have as much of an increase for the little extra scratch it would cost to just buy a new intake. Now that I think about it, the intake may be more beneficial to do first. The cam, heads, and TC in a year or 2 and do those 3 at once. Finally, 3.57 in the rear end and keep the D36.
