Re: Manifold Pres Guage

Brad, great ideas but seems like a lot of work and I like to keep things stock. I was thinking the same that you pointed out, that the guage would show more vacuum at low throttle and near zero at full throttle. Mine seems to be showing the opposite (needle goes toward + at full throttle)? Most dash...

Manifold Pres Guage

Getting all the minor issues taken care of my new 140 hp Corsa clone. The manifold pressure guage was not working at all.

The Shakes!

My 66 convert has a mild whole car shake (more like a wobble) between about 20 and 45 mph, most noticeable when the top is down. I don’t think it’s a broken belt in the tires as the tires are new. Is that what’s called “convertible shake”

Re: Body ID Tag
