    At present I have Fel-Pro VS50388R valve cover gaskets. They are designed for 1991-2000 GMC truck with a 454. They fit my 502 valve covers. Said valve covers have the channel that the rubber gasket sits in. They are not the stock cork 454 gaskets. The problem I have is that I have one area...

    C3 A/C nearing completion

    A few final questions "just to be sure" on Goldie with a new S6 compressor how much ref. oil goes in and which side? How can I be sure I have the "right side" of the compressor (high or low) and finally how much oil needs to go in the new drier? Pictures soon Andy.

    C3 Modern A/C

    Previous questions about the A/C drier and how to accomplish different aspects of the upgrade are kinda being grouped here. First I'll state that all parts originally installed some 38 years ago are being kept. carefully set aside. The new system uses an S6 10 cyl compressor already R143...

    C3 Vacuum advance system

    Hummmm, Just a question. I have replaced the points and regulator inside my distributer with a Pertronix Ignitor ll system. Does the factory vacuum advance system still function as it did at birth or can that vacuum line simply be removed and both ends capped? Not real important either way...

I seem to remember a valve (after market) that could be placed in one of the PS lines and adjusted to control...
