Where do you get seals at? I am doing a v8 swap on a 92 s10 and now that I have put power steering fluid in the pump I see I have an input shaft leak. I cant be leaking power steering fluid everywhere. Thanks. Great video.

Unfortunately there are alot of “know it alls” that think they know what is best. If I get asked a question I tell them my experience and any advice to try to help and not to try to impose my own opinion on others. I definitely try to help young guys because they can easily be strayed away from the truth. UA-cam has become a wasteland of bs especially in the subject of automotive knowledge.

Beautiful

Hi all, I’ve been setting my base idle in a different ways, some work better than others. I will use this method and see how stable my idle gets. I have that little plate in between the TB and the IAC. I guess I will combine a couple of methods adjusting the throttle stop to 0.010” + 1.5 turns with a feeler gauge and then adjust the air flow via the set screws on the throttle plate all of these wit that IAC and spout disconnected. Only one question do I have to disconnect the battery after all the adjustments were done for a computer reset, or it doesn’t matter???? Thanks for sharing👋🏻

That is such a beautiful car and I really do enjoy seeing it because back in 1967 I bought one brand new. Mine was black. No vinyl top. It was an SS 396 but mine had the red interior black exterior with the red stripe like you have and to top it off and I think on yours would make a big difference too. I had the red lines tires with the rallies to finish it off and mine was a 4-speed. Also I had the car for probably 20 years. I'm 70 now and I still wish I had it back LOL

What a beautiful car!

So all your doing is unplugging the iac, and the distributor spout set your idle while running, then plug everything back in

good job bro

Joe, your videos inspired me to ditch the crossfire and upgrade to a SPR modified TBI on a Weiand X-cellerator intake. I took the 84 vette out and it outperforms the crossfire through the entire powerband. It is not the same car. My vette has a 350 not a 305. The car is insane fun to drive now. I have heads, headers and TKX transmission sitting in the garage. I need a week or two off from work to complete. Thanks for the videos.

This was great but I'm not doing all that for a stock worn box. I will stick to the 1/8 turn method.. The new quick ratio high dollar box I'm going to buy on the other hand i will definitely use this method.

Thanks for the helpful video. I have a very similar engine setup except mine has a B303 cam with 75mm throttle body (placed in a 68 mustang). What did you have your initial timing set at? Or what should I be looking for when setting it?

I had an '83 Black and Gold with the luxury interior. I don't think the '84 had slats in the front bumper. I don't like when I see the flat black spoiler painted glossy. Early '85's had the old spoiler and engines. I went shopping for an '85 with the new spoiler and fuel injected engine as soon as they came out but the dealer said they were not shipping the new spoiler design yet and only carbureted engines.

I have a 2001 cobra with stage 2 comp cams, intake, and full exhaust. She runs great except when I pull up to a red light and come to a full stop the engine fails to catch idle and the revs drop. Usually the revs fall to about 400 and then it recovers idle at 850. It starts up fine but when I rev the car from idle it always dies. The IAC and IAC wiring harness have all been replaced and the issue is unresolved. No one seems to know how to address the issue. Does this fix work with new edge cars as well? I've been having this issue for years and am dying to have a normal idle. Thanks man.

Will this fix it running rich at idle? I installed a trick flow stage 1 cam and it runs and idles great just the richness at idle ive checked fuel pressure, adjusted tps, it was fine before I did the cam i dont get if.

You put a mark on "this" and then put another mark on "this" a 1/2 inch back and then tighten "this" so it lines up? Which "this" is "this" and which "this" is that? Thanks.

I know this is a older video but I had to let you know. I couldn't have said it any better. Really appreciate your cfi videos, they probably have saved a few from being hacked to pieces.

I asked Copilot for the answer on the orientation of the zerk, and the description was unclear...horizontal...compression. It took me to this video with a great explanation. Thanks!

I've been doing it wrong for 40 years lol

Hi, could you possibly send me the wiring harness diagram? I would love to do this to my 83 crossfire. If there is an email I can reach you at that is better please let me know. I really appreciate it! I want to keep my crossfire set up.

I have a Saginaw 605 gear box and have trouble with the jamb nut - it looks different than the one in the video. My gear box has the ring retained cover on it. Any ideas?

Thank you for this information. I have a 93 Hatchback with a 331 trackheat heads and intake with a Comp Cams 276H-R14 cam. This procedure worked very well for the most part. Once the car is up to temp and it is shut off, it will not idle. It has a giant surge or two and stalls. It does seem easier to catch it with the throttle now. It is idling at around 850 rpm. If you have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Larry W.

GREAT video!

Gunna try it tomorrow... this may be the silver bullet

I used this method to adjust the idle on my 94 F-150 (same cam, but stock heads and intake) and at initial startup it runs fantastic, but now as soon as the speedometer senses movement the idle shoots up to 1,700 rpm...any ideas?

Do you need an alignment after this? My truck now pulls to the right a lot more than it did. The adjustment did fix about 80% of the looseness in the steering wheel at center from left to right.

I think if you got a Pontiac fiero and did some changes to have it run better, explain some common issues and made some content with it, that would be awesome and great to see

Mine is close, it's a 331 stroker trick flow 170 heads stage 1 cam holley upper and lower 75mm throttle body 24lb injectors and mine had Mac shorty headers but I convinced myself it needed more flow so I put bbk 1 - 3/4" longtubes and the sound isn't as good, shorties just sound way better, I'm thinking of putting dumps right at the ends of the mufflers but still keep tail pipes in place

So just to clarify, start car up get it to operating temp, pull iac and the spout connector set rpm turn car off reconnect everything and done? Then restart car

Thanks alot been having idle issues for awhile now never could find out why and what was going on till I watched your video

Thanks for the video I just went through a mess trying to get my 88 supercharged notch to start. I set the idle at around 750 with the spout and iac unhooked. Shut the car off and plugged them back in and let it run for a bit. It's idling nice and smooth but staying right around 1k RPM. Should I do it again or is the iac off? I do have a 306, b cam, paxton supercharger not sure about the heads. Has a maf conversion too.

No help at all

Thanks man, will this work for a 2019 2500HD RWD

Just one question… are the bearings new or still the originals? As the preload changes a bit if they are new. As far as I know new bearings need a bit of preload vs already broken in bearings only need 0 backlash. This is a very good video thanks for doing it 👊

Thanks for teaching us about the subtle differences between years. Could you make a comment regarding interior colors and how the different panels were matched from factory? (ex. bottom piece of door panel matched carpet) and so on. Thanks

Ok did that and all be dipped 98 % better still hick up every once and awhile but way way way better thanks a million

awesome I'll TRY That BEEN BEATING HEAD ON WALL TRYING to FIX ROUGH IDLE

The salvage yard in my town has a black and gold early 3rd gen Trans Am hardtop junked in the back sitting on top of another car leaning against the fence. I can't tell if it's an '82 or '83. It has gold pinstriping going over the wheel wells which I think was a factory option but I don't think it's a Recaro Edition. Unfortunately I can't get close enough to get the VIN number. The car is a goner because they used forks to lift it and the roof is bent up and wrecked. It's a shame I would love to get the history on the car but I'm not allowed to walk in the yard to get close to it or climb on it.

Finally, someone who shows the right procedure for an idle reset. The only advice I would offer is disconnecting the tps while performing the base idle reset. I've learned through tuning these cars that tps voltage is a myth. There's a wide range that the voltage can be set in. I think it's .70v-1.2v, and it'll be fine. The reason the .98v was thrown out there is because it's in the middle of that range. There's nothing wrong with setting the voltage to .98v just not necessary. Also, for those curious what SPOUT stands for. (SP)OUT= SPARK OUTPUT. Good video explaining how idle works and how timing directly affects idle.

I need to pull my 305 cross fire injection block out of my 1982. Do you know how I can pick it out of the car with a hoist? I know carbed motors you can use an adapter plate on the intake but idk where you can pick a cfi intake. Any ideas?

Hmm... I guess I'm living with tons of slop in my C10 steering wheel for another year or two since I can't do it right while installed.

In late 1983, they started putting the L69 engine in the Trans Ams, prior to full production in 1984. Only 662 were made. I had one.

My 84 El Camino has stiff spots when cold starting. As soon as I force it back and forth, it's fine until I shut the engine off for a while. I replaced the whining steering pump and did a thorough bleeding so there's no noise and it's still a problem. Ideas?

Either find the Fcar snorkle system or use the throttle body 90-deg elbow plus air cleaner found on the 4.1, 4.5 and 4.9 Cadillac engines for a cold air setup, slightly quieter too. Your vids are great btw, very clear.

Great tip on this I have an e cam in mine do you know what setting to set my timing ? Should I start with 10 degrees BTC and go up from there? Thankyou for the input 👊✌

I’m looking to guy another one.

My ‘69 GMC thanks you!

I have a 1982 collertors edition, and it just stopped running after we moved. Sat for 2 years. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel hoses, injectors, inginition air sensors, and pretty much drained all the fuel. I also replaced the fuel relay. I can get it to start and run if I spray starter fluid in the intake, but it stalls out shortly after I stop. I can see some fuel spitting in thers but not a clean spray. Any ideas on where Im going wrong. Thanks

What size fittings did you use on that guage ?

Outstanding just saw this video very informative I personally think you should be some sort of a shop teacher teaching young folks how to do all this stuff thank you for the information

Do you know if this will work on the 84 c4?
