Fast Idle

On my 1966 110hp when cold and when I "set" the choke (fast idle cam) the carb'S linkage does not set it up on the high lobe so I can get a higher idle when cold. I can manually do this of course, but by depressing the throttle down it does not set this on the highest cam. What's the fix -...

Re: Horn goes off

Frank - what special washer are you referring to I have no washer - just 3 brass screw that attach the part that the horn button snaps to and has a long leg that goes to the horn's plunger inside of the steering wheel hub.

I have a wood sport (GM OE PART) steering wheel on my 66 coupe.

Horn goes off

the horn in my 1966 Coupe just went off while the car was sitting in the driveway - what could cause this - bad horn relay?
Can you tap the relay to see if it's sticking - and how to trouble this correctly? I have not looked but I believe the horn relay is mounted in the trunk.

thanks

Re: 110 - 4 speed No High Idle - cold

thanks Frank I'll check out the Delco manual and clean my linkage - as I said sometimes my car starts and runs on the higher cam - its just not consistent.
