Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Some poop came out.
Turns out the engine sucked apart the Edelbrock air filter, the metal cap inside went into the turbo, and I'm hoping didn't do too much damage....   Off to LordCo tomorrow to see if I can get a K&N that DOES NOT have a suckoffable cap inside.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Wow that could have been bad. I think you got lucky by the looks of it but I would probably still take compressor apart and clean it out and either sand the impeller or replace so no loose bits come off. I always worried about those suckoffable caps since they look to just be glued in but since thats how all the pleats are held in with the metal base air filters I try to grab the ones that are all molded silicone\rubber style material.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Chasing an increasingly noisy Hydroboost pump.
I've bled it every which way under the sun, but cannot get it to stay quiet for more than 40 minutes of driving. I ordered a new pump. RockAuto wholesaler closeout, got the pump for $58CDN (about $40US). Two days of anger management issues and profanity, and it's in and bled, and appears to be working great. At one point I had to turn the "Blues" off on the stereo, as the songs were just too dang "happy." Black Sabbath to the rescue. And had a visit from a friend today:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I seem to be losing spark, more and more - especially worse the hotter it gets / the more I drive. Definitely missfire.
I've checked plugs. I've changed wires. I'm thinking coils.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I'm curious, what spark plugs, wires and coils are you running?

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Maybe it’s a cam or crank position sensor?

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Stock 585 coils (round with heat sink), used Delco wires, after running new "Fast" brand wires. NGK TR6 plugs.
A cam or crank sensor should have a code, and will _not_ produce a STFT +15% on bank 2 only (lean misfire).
