Probably won't cure the problem, but get a new pcv anyway as it can only help general running.

Hello, I'm helping a friend whose 84 t-type is rusted beyond repair drop it into a nice 86 regal with a 307. The hotair car has a digital dash, the donor car has analog. We'd like to keep the analog dash in the car. My main question is, can we just swap the engine bay harness (from fuse block...

good one!

the straight one is the correct one. clean and reuse it if possible.

I was wondering if anyone else had problems running a newer neoprene style seal on the stock balancer. Mine seems to chew up seals, and I tend to think that the grooves on the stock balancer that were designed to work with a rope seal are the culprits. Has anyone tried putting a wear sleeve on...

Wow, I haven't seen pics of that setup in a while, good to see it complete. Fantastic job on the fabrication! Great mph too.

i like the gravity bleed method, because i'm lazy. open all the bleeders until a solid stream comes out of each, be sure to keep the open reservoir top full at all times

Not much is impossible, but you'd have to be a masochist in my opinion to not use some sort of heat exchanger, especially at that power level. would be a helluva lot easier.

Depends how many times you tried to start the motor, and how much it actually ran. it's likely that there was at least some small film of oil still on the journals. If you only tried a couple times then gave up, then I'd just prime the damn thing with the drill and forget about tearing into...
