thought it was going to be in washington?

YEAH i dont think im drivin that far just to test my car especially when i could just go to eddyville which is all of 20 mins away lol i would go to washington tho and there is plenty of room at the skate park for all the cars how many people you talkin about

22nd night before we going cordova, explained earlier in thread...

Funny thing is, damn near every town is out of the way from CR.

Edit: I swear every fuckin day I agree with Rich more and more.

i dun care where the meet is, ill go. but cant exactly move the drag strip lol

Exactamundo!


The quad cities would be a nice place to have a get together but everyone cries about it being to far away..

Ian what the hell the top bid on your jimmy is ten dollars, did i win it?

i never said move the strip i just said i wont be there lol and yeah quad cities is way to far
and wait i bid $12

racing.........

okay guys here is where i get to sound like a complete newb asshole how the fuck do i adjust
the idle since i got it its been running at like 1600 which is just way to damn high i adjusted the two screws that i thought might do it but to no avail and if you wanna know which 2 screws its the one in the top of the tb and the one that holds the arms it has a spring in the middle sorry for the explanation i know there not tech terms but its the best i got



the two are the red ones on this pic

plaes help me cause i am now lost

lol, not that much of a noob question. I had the same one and Mr Steve had to come down and do it for me. There is another screw that looks exactly like the top one only its on the side of the TB. Use that one. Also do a search for setting the TPS and make sure that it is spot on.

I know why you guys are saying not washington. You lazy fuckers dont want to stay up all night at the strip and then drive the 1 hr+ to my place. Its cool, we'll have the meet at the May household. Dont expect me to offer again.

Edit: Better idea - Let's have it at E's place since the last time there actually was a meet there a whole bunch of people showed up.

You guys figure it out and then pick someone to call me and tell me the time and place. I've only missed 2 meets - The most recent Eric one and the DM one a few years ago.

Jeez, do you want some cheese with that wine. We're still meeting in washington, but a few of us are going to the drag strip the night before. It doesnt mean we wont come down. Plus you better show up to run something at cordova.

You know exactly what Im talking about. As for Cordova - maybe...

Edit: Yeah so when are you guys going home? 5 am when they kick you out?

Are you having a case of the mondays Ian?

Lower Red Circle - Thermal wax - used to speed up your idle when the car is cold.

Top Red Circle - that is your idle adjust

blue circle - that adjusts your air/fuel mixture at idle.

The throttle body screw that Ian was talking about is to hold open the throttle and is not the correct way to set an idle. Assuming no vac leaks and a properly running engine the top red circle should be enough.

well i dont think 1600 is a properly running and that top screw did just about nothing so what is you take then sess

+1 to Ray at Malloy btw, my springs literally arrived before the money came out of the bank!. Ordered yesterday at lunchtime, and they got here today!!!

my gf dosent understand why .2 oz of metal costs over $100 tho lol

what does no one get on here on tuesdays

what springs you puttin in what

springs are for seals inside the motor, doing a rebuild

If you adjusted the screw Ian told you - your butterfly valves are not closing completely.

you need to clearence them otherwise you have too much air flowing by (High idle).

you could also have a vacuum leak.

Easiest thing to do is unscrew the Throttle body set screw all the way out.

Then screw them jsut enough so that they barely stop/touch the cam. This is how they are suppose to be set.

Also make sure your adjusting your idle after it is warmed up.

Your thermal wax cam can be holding your throttle open aslo if it's screwed to far in.

you MUST watch this. and turn it up a bit too, trust me, it makes it better.

am figuring out why this car was only 500 ok guys i need to know what piece to ask for it is on the bottm fuel rail at the end its a round plastic piece that is leaking gas all over the place can someone tell me what that is

LOL. That was pretty good and mostly true haha.

Sounds like it could be the FPR which is mounted at the end of the return line after the injectors.

FPR = Fuel Pressure Regulator
