Generally speaking, the 454 stuff is cheaper then the 455. Since I'm playing with the numbers anyway, I could pick up a multiport (or TBI for that matter) for...
I would recommend calling Howell Engine Development and requesting their printed catalog. It has a bunch more parts listed than what is on line. Originally...
Thomas: Either the engine has lost power/efficiency or something is dragging. Easy Test: Jack up each tire and spin the wheel. Harder Test: Check the...
Thom, Don't know if I'd ever be considered a gear-head, LOL, just broke. I piled in nearly $65k in my coach in the past 18 mos. Everything is basically new...
Maybe I'm just picky but the location of my tandoms in the wheewells in making me a little crazy. The right set is @2" from the rear and @4.5" from the front...
I know Tom (aircraft electrician) installed TBI in his coach and was getting a solid 11 mpg, but that was not towing. I've also heard fairly good things about...
Thanks Marcus, I haven't check that accurately. Will do ASAP. May head me in the right direction. You goin' to be able to meet us at Quartsite? Stan...
Its hard to say what is really wrong. One problem is that Revcon sold off all the uprights when they went bankrupt in '86. This may mean that things were not...
I would be more interested in the distance from the center of the front wheels to the center of the rear wheels. Hook a tape measure to the front of the rim...
I don't have much experience with the Revcon, yet. But.... Checking the air in the tires (the tow vehicle) is a good idea. I flat towed an offroad rig for...
That is funny. I have the squirt gun set up on my 73 also. it got disconnected somewhere. My 73 250 runs 10-11 mpg real consistently, and i climb lots of hills...
Stan, I keep the tire pressure up in the toad so that can't be it, but thanx for the tip! We'll get this figured out, darn it. We 2 are planning on being at...
I feel the need to move the fuel filter from between the axels to a more accessable place. I have thought of running the fuel lines up beside the tank filler...
Marcus, I checked the tandom wheel spacing and they are almost the same 1/16" difference. The measurement is 36" between wheels center to center. I talked to...
Stan: I think that this is only half the answer. I think you also need the distance to the front wheels to see if your axles are parallel to the front. With...
Multiport costs another $1000 and you will not gain any mpg's over TBI. You will see more difference in mpg from one brand of gas to another or one day to...
It is a standard joke that you get 8-10 mpg no matter what you do with a 455 Olds. Any other mileage is a lie. As far as the color of plugs, you can't just...
Thanks Lyle, I suspect you may be correct. The rear of the left wheel well looks as if it has had some rework of the aluminium most likely from a blowout...
For years I have had Gieco Ins. but wasn't too happy with them when I went to insure the coach. I had to get estimated value quoted (certified) replacement...
