    Idle mixture-gas milage

    Oké, that's what I wanted to know. My Newport is smelling bad at idle and the fumes are killing my throat (behind the car, nót inside ) so mayby it's to rich... Now, sometimes you read that an engine is running to lean or to rich while going down the street. How can you adjust that ?

    Idle mixture-gas milage

    I've read many threads about adjusting carbs, timing etc etc.. Now I have a question about adjusting the idle mixture. I know the further the screws are out the richer, further in is leaner. Now, does this adjustment also effects the overall gas-milage ? Luigi

    Engine screams above 3000 rpm

    Replaced the idlerpulley at last. As posted before I ordered one from Mancini. First thing I noticed it wasn't a exact reproduction of the OEM one as you can see on the pics. The new one is a bit wider so the belt is deeper now. It works, only thing now is that the adjustment is almost at its...

    Engine screams above 3000 rpm

    I've read the above and first thing popped up was: I still need a idler pulley for tensioning the belts ánd as Mancini says: they don't produce that idler. So I go for the simplest option: ordered a (yes, expensive ) pulley from Mancini...

    Engine screams above 3000 rpm

    I've seen the one on Mancini and it is indeed pricey. So I thought the one from RA is oke, thinking I could use the old bolt. Mmm, searching for a suitable bolt an option ? Are they available?

    Engine screams above 3000 rpm

    After some research I found out the idler pulley bearing is toast. Ordered a new one from RA and it came in today. New problem/question: I have to use the old bolt and nut cause the new pulley is without those. How do I get the old bolt out ? I thought it was a dustshield and I've tried to...

    Engine screams above 3000 rpm

    I know it's difficult to diagnose a noise made by the engine by looking and hearing a video. This is what my engine ( a stock 383 2bbl ) does when reved up at 3000 rpm. Below that no noises. My first thoughts were the belts but after adjusting them a little tighter ( the alt/ac was a little...

    Lost powersteering...what a mess

    I won't say you're wrong about the hose that it is bad, but it still looks oké. I suspect the clamp, and going to replace it with a "screw-type". Yes I'm going to clean everything but let it drip for the night, it's everywhere pfff...

    Lost powersteering...what a mess

    Took the Newport for a drive today. Waiting for a red light to make a right turn..Green, go and oops, heavy steering, no assist from the powersteering. Not to far from home I decided to drive on. At home I backed the car up in the garage stepped out and it was all clear: I left a trace of...
