As 02 LW300 stated, it's one of two ac service ports, normally capped to keep dirt out and provide a second seal against refrigerant leaks. Inside this low pressure port is threaded for a plastic...

I didn't read my old thread but I may have included a link to one place selling a complete brass fuel fitting. I bought it, and unscrewed the valve stem, unscrewed the temporary ac valve stem,...

In all these posts, I mentioned your fuel test valve as a possible source of leaks. I know this may seem inconsequential but I know from personal experience. No rhyme or reason as I used my fuel...

Fuel pressure is governed by a fuel pressure regulator to maintain between 39-51(?) psi. 45 psi with engine running is perfect. Mine never went above 43 psi. The wide range of pressures, in my...

The car you're imagining may be the rear engined Chevy Corvair. I had a Fiat 850 Spyder, 3 or 4 speed manual.

C'mon, there isn't a loose brick lying around somewhere, a large rock, piece of broken concrete, something heavy enough to sit in place as it presses on the pedal without being pushed back? My guess...
