my girlfriend says she gets a headache after we drive the teener. i haven't noticed it before, but yesterday i felt a bit 'ill' after an hour drive -- even with the top off. the heater blower fan has always stayed off. (welcome to cali)
about 6 months ago i put some used late-model HE's on the car. they appeared very sound, with no apparent leaks on the inner exhaust tubes. i don't think i have an exhaust leak, but i'll be sure to double check everything. what are other sources of carbon monoxide? would a torn up heating air hose let in gas from the engine compartment? even with no blowers on? any thoughts appreciatted. thanks, nathan p.s. yeah, i know the late HE's suck. saving for header. |

just a quick update on the CO mess:
i capped the heat ventilation hoses (that run down the longs), and this seems to keep the cab full of ONLY fresh air. i do suspect the #3/4 heat exchanger of leaking -- it blows significantly more air out than the other one. plus, it makes a sound which i first suspected to be valve clash (and was very worried about), but which i now believe is an exaust leak resonating in the HE. my plan is to pick up some late model HE stubs, chop them short, and fabricate a new header to go to my late-model bursch. i'm short on money, so i can't really invest in a back-dated system (or tangerine) right now, but i got access to a welder!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) i figure any design i come up w/ is going to be at least as good as the late-model system... i think i'll be omitting that 180 degree bend... btw, eric: thanks for your consideration, but don't feel in the slightest bad about the HE's! they got me by just fine until recently, and i'll be using them as the template to design a new system... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) cheers, nathan p.s. eric, you still got an extra pair of late-model stubs? |
