shims in points type distributor 1970 350 c.i.

shims in points type distributor 1970 350 c.i.
George:
It's not a shim, it's a thrust washer (tanged), and there's only one.
If the shaft, as you say, is able to raise a whole quarter of an inch out of
the camshaft gear, then you have some...

The irony here is that he could spend $445 for an X-RAM manifold and tap
into some engine potential, and not turn the car into a basket case....

'84 crossfire to carburator conversion
Emmision controls have been around starting from 1968, Catalyst requirements
1974-75, so 1984 isn't exactly the beginning.

Disadvantages:
1. Window has to roll-down completely to open door (massive interior
exposure during inclement weather). Occupant in rear or front who doesn't

changing crossfire C4 to carburation
The Cross-Fire TBI system on the 84 was two GM 200 series TBI's. The same
TBI's that would appear in GM's medium cars and light trucks 3 years later.

changing crossfire C4 to carburation

Your removing a lot of stuff that the ECU needs to inputs from, mainly items
that do not exist with a carb. The ECU is set up...
