Still a bitch to get going. What I noticed yesterday after I drove to the shops and back was that it has black smoke coming out the exhaust when idling and the choke is definitely off. Obviously running extremely rich. What can cause this? Must be whatever is causing the hard starts. Someone must kn...

This will make you all cringe. :D I lowered the front of an eh with a 307 chev in it years ago by crawling under the car with an oxy torch and heating up the coil just where it starts to rise at the bottom to cherry red then pushing down on the car to let the bottom of the coil flatten out. Even use...

Once its fully warmed up it seems ok but while its cold, if it stalls its a bitch to re-start. Problem...

Holley 350 help required (Perth)

The engine used to start first click, now basically overnight its extremely hard to start, seems to me like its flooding. Almost flatten the battery before I...

Make sure your wheels are balanced, nothing worse than a shaky steering wheel on a long trip. Check your brake lights are working. Also check all your headlights are working.
