My Uncle looked at it a little bit this weekend. I mentioned that I thought it was a valve so he took a leaf, put it at the end of the tailpipe, and watched it. He said that if it where a valve gone bad, then the exhaust would suck the leaf back into the pipe, but it didn't. Also, I put new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor on it, and now I got some of my wandering idle problems back. They aren't as bad as they were, but it's there again.

He left behind a large collection of magazines and she thinks it will be a shame to throw them away (and I agree). She's trying Ebay, but regardless of whether she can sell them, she doesn't want them to go to waste. As many of you know, old magazines contain a wealth of information that can be hard to find otherwise, especially for those of you who are restoring a truck. Some of them might be collectors items too. Here's a list of what she's got, please contact her for specific issues: (She can be reached at Nomoreplaytime aol.com, her name is Keri) TRUCKIN' CHEVY TRUCKIN' TRUCKIN' CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM & CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM TRUCKING HI-PERFORMANCE TRUCKING SUPER STREET TRUCKS STREET RODDER NATIONAL RODDER RODDER'S DIGEST HOW TO BUILD A STREET ROD RODS & CUSTOMS HIGH PERFORMANCE RODS & CUSTOMS CUSTOM RODDER ROD POWER SUPER HOT RODS & CUSTOMS AMERICAN RODDER STREET RODDER HOT ROD MECHANIX HI-PERFORMANCE RODS RODS AND STREET MACHINES RODDER STREET RODDING ILLUSTRATED RODDER'S WORLD STREET AND CUSTOM RODDING CUSTOM PAINTING CHEVROLET HIGH PERFORMANCE POPULAR HOT RODDING HOT ROD WILD WORLD OF STREET MACHINES SUPER STREET MACHINES ROD ACTION STREET MACHINES PICK-UPS AND MINI TRUCKS STREET ROD ACTION STREET ROD PICK-UPS FAT HOT LINE NEWS HOT CARS CHEVY CLASSIC CLASSIC & CUSTOM HOT TRUCK SPORT TRUCK CUSTOM CRAFT CUSTOM CARS ALL CHEVY CHEVY HI-PERFORMANCE SUPER CHEVY 1001 CUSTOM & ROD IDEAS ROD & CUSTOM IDEAS POPULAR CUSTOMS POPULAR CARS VANS & PICK-UPS 1001 TRUCK & VAN IDEAS SPORT TRUCKING ROD & CUSTOM YEARBOOKS ANNUALS THE BEST OF...

I used this stuff religiously for over a year. Then I went to my buddies house to use his garage for a head gasket replacement. He HAD 3 puppies. When he drained the antifreeze, it went into a little gully that ran past his dog pen. The littlest of the pups drank a good bit of it before we noticed. As a habit, we didn't let the animals get near the stuff, even with the nontoxic label. When we saw him drinking it we freaked, ran out there and pulled him out of the pen and rushed him to the vets. He died about 9 hours later. He didn't want to pursue the lawsuit issue, but I tried as I seemed to be more upset about it than he did. Without the backing of the pet owner it didn't fly. Yes, it is compatible with the other brands of antifreeze, but why use it due to the HUGE price difference between that and the other brands, take it back and get the cheaper priced stuff. Sorry to burst the bubble.

I think I have a sticky exhaust valve not seating, so when the plug fires, I get a "push" sound out the exhaust. >Also, I put new plugs, >wires, cap, and rotor on it, and now I got some of my wandering idle >problems back. They aren't as bad as they were, but it's there again. If you have Idel Air control or somethiong like that, check it for clean and proper function. Check all over for vacuum leaks. That will get things wandering and misbehaving. I found an old rubber cap on a vacuum port Saturday that was rotten and leaking. It really cleared up a bad idle when I replaced it.
