Looks like noone ever tried to. Now thinking of it, I'd say it would be better if somebody made a drawing of the pre-78 all-metal part, as it is a dead reliable and robust solution as opposed to another plastic part. Also thinking of the 3D-printed one, I am not entirely sure if the durability...

The oil filter was loose. Also, it is impossible to fill the filter with any amount of oil, as it sits horizontally.

Once the Newport got some lift time, I started small by checking if everything tight. Sure enough, the oil filter was sorta loose. Everything else is tight as a drum. Went for a spin, let it sit for two hours - so far so dry. Weird.

Thank you! Undoing the engine mount is an unwelcome complication, thought I could pull everything out without this much trouble. I should have looked into it when I replaced the mounts a few months back... Yes, I was looking at Melling.

Hello all. Stock 400 Block on a 78 Newport here, never been apart. We've been driving quite a bit this year and mostly in 60-80 mph range. Recently I noticed quite a bit of leaking around the oil filter/pump area. So I plan first try to tighten the bolts and if that does not help, to remove the...

The EFI never had any, rather it was my struggle to fathom out all the nuances of its setup - which is rather poorly documented by Holley.

The first couple of hundred miles with the new setup - there is no differnce, cold or hot. So will keep it this way for now. Thanks everybody for inputs and comments!

Another one I found on the interwebs... Anyhow, I will plug them all + the heat riser, since I have Holley Sniper EFI and all these chambers and orifices and exhaust leaks just drive its brain crazy.

Thank you!

Looking down into my 400 intake I see a (newish-looking) plug in one (upper) half and there is a round hole and some cavity in the lower section. What are these for, any ideas? Thanks!

Poked around our analogue of craigs. Found these two beautes. I am in no way related to either, but thought somebody might be interested or pass the info around, since the asking $ appears reasonable. One in Manitoba, an estate sale...

For a carb engine - sure. But in my case it is complicated by the presence of the Holley EFi.

It is the top sprocket having the nylon crown "for quieter operation". I too have the original one and plan on replacement. And I too have shaky idle, despite new mounts-plugs-wires and EFI instead of the carb.

Put the front on the jack stand, so that both wheels were in the air. Shake both for 'loose' feel - these may be the hub bearings asking for some fresh grease repacking and tightening. And all the usual stuff - sway bar bushes and links, ball joints, steering gear and tie rod links, etc. Try...

A small follow-up. The drive shaft turned out to be quite twisted and out of balance (even though all the factory weights were in place). Dropped it on Friday, got a call from them today, which is Monday next week, so very quick turn-over. 140 CAD overall, not just massaged, but painted too. I...

Driveline Specialties just moved the shop. New address is 5011 11 St SE, Calgary, AB The entrance is via the back side of the building, where the garage doors are. Going tomorrow, will see how that works out.

Oh, thank you. Is there any particular person there to ask for?

Hello all, I suspect the drive shaft on my 78 C-Bod might be out of balance a bit, or (worst case) it is bent a bit - there's a driveline vibration at 105-110 km/h (65-70 mph). New engine/transmission mounts, new U-joints... I am playing with the clamps per the shop manual, but have not...

I did. Installed myself. And posted thoughts on it later. Shoot me a message if you have questions. On other stuff that you may consider looking at. - If you plan driving at night or dusk, consider spending on Euro-standard Hellas instead of the pathetic DOT sealed beams. - The steering can...

We plan to participate in this year's event held by Reynolds Museum. Anybody else going?
