@ponyguru, Here is a photo of the harmonic balancer with the witness marks circled in red and they are aligned (good). It also has "circles" (highlighted in yellow) like yours which are balancing marks where material was removed as needed.

Sean- that would be great, thank you. email sent!

Calling for (at least) one more EFI tune (.msq) file. Sam and Tom have each sent me one but I do need one more to be able to predict what settings should work. I’m not begging yet but yes I am ... don’t want to

Thanks

That price range should fetch you a decent car but it will be in your best interest to find one for sale by owner. The secondary market where a dealer or broker buys and resells to make profit has been increasing the past few years. Shipping cost would be additional (in my thinking process). Posting...

Thank you Sam!

Greetings. I am helping a newbie Corvair owner get his ‘66 110 with Brown EFI tuned properly. Ted helped us solve the “engine dies when put into drive” issue by remotely getting into the TunerStudio SW on my laptop. I want to continue the tuning efforts.

Phil, do I see a turbo on that diesel?

Here is a good discussion from a few years back - Single 4 barrel on a 140

...snipped... I've never understood using 140HP heads for turbo applications. Yes they flow more, but doesn't a turbo overcome pumping losses of the small valve heads?

Welcome :wave: Do post photos... that’s always a hit here. These troubleshooting steps were posted by someone else so I’ll quote them. Unplug the sender wire. Gauge should read Full or beyond. Ground the sender wire and the gauge should dread empty. If it passes these tests, the sender is bad or the...

The shim is shown as 4.085 on this diagram. The 4spd has a thick washer on the other side but I don’t know about the PG.

Here you go...

How to make Early Brakes Work by vairmech » Fri Jan 12, 2018

Think that "adapt & overcome" should be added to the subject of this thread. :cool: The ATV/Motorcycle jack and a variation of the Fitch cart keeps engine steady and allows work on the exhaust logs, heads, pushrod tubes, cylinder/piston assemblies etc. My safety protocols call for mult...

I purchased the car a year ago, so this could have been brewing long before I got the car. My bet is that the previous owner was having mucho fun with that 140 while he had it (that's what they are designed for i suppose). It has been slowly getting worse and now you have uncovered the damage. Dave...
