do these valves come in diff. shift settings or are they all the same?...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
most of the aftermarket ones are adjustable with a small screw in the vacuum port. Clockwise raises the shift point, counterclockwise lowers it.
c-11sec, thanks, i was thinking that but have heard that they come in diff. color markings for diff. shift points. the adj. is the way i will go...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
Just go a quarter turn at a time and keep track of how far you've turned and which way. Good luck frank!
setting still, i can take off and make a left turn and it will be in third gear by the time i get it straight in the road. someone suggested i turn the screw 4 turns to start with. on mine i have to drop the cross member to get to the screw. ...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
Frank; had that trouble with mine, and I turned the screw to the right till it just touched the stop. It wouldn't shift till I hit 80, but I at least knew I had the right direction. Then I backed it down, and got it where I wanted it. It is still a bit low, but it get a bit better gas mileage that way. Give that a try, but be carefull not to go too far...might jam or break the diaphragm. Let me know how it goes. I'm going out after a bit..when it warms up some, and work on the relay box. Later, Earl
71 Gold I have the same issue with my car as well, have you ajusted the idle skrew at all?? thats what i did and i find that it doesn't shift into third with out me having to give it gas
i haven't done anything yet. i will try to get er' done tonight. thanks for the help. did anyone else have to drop the trans mount?...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
Frank; :I haven't done it in so long, can't remember. Then again, can't remember how to get to Conyers either. I will look tomorrow and let you know. Earl
before i start adj. on my vac. valve i would like to know where do most of you hook the vac. hose. i have mine hooked to the vac. manifold off the intake. i also have my pcv valve hooked there. i was thinking i might not be getting enough vac. thanks for any help...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
ray, my pass. side valve cover is plug into the breather. the driver side is plug into the intake and the other end is in the oil filler cap that has the pcv valve in the top. do i need the two or do i just tee them together and hook them to the breather? thanks for the help...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
I have a breather on the drivers side and the pcv valve on the passenger side plumbed into the bottom of the air cleaner. If you want to get really trick about it, you could make up a balance tube to go between the valve covers like the circle track guys do, but I think if you set it up similar to what I'm running you'll be just fine.
