How many volts does a HEI distributor need?
The HEI just uses 12 volts.
Does HEI distributor need ballast resistor?
When using HEI, the distributor requires a 12 volt feed. In order to achieve this the ballast resistor or the resistance wire must be removed from the circuit and replaced with a pure 12 gauge feed wire. This means that there is no power on the “RUN” circuit when the ignition switch is in the “CRANK” mode.
How many amps does an HEI ignition use?
Actually, an HEI draws only 2- to 3-amps, compared to the approximate 6-amps an external oil-filled coil draws. The lower amperage draw results in a much cooler running HEI coil.
Are all HEI distributor caps the same?
Every GM factory style V8 HEI uses the same cap and rotor.
What are the signs of a bad brake caliper?
Here are some signs that one of your brake calipers is going bad:
- Vehicle pulls to one side. Is your car pulling or steering to one side or the other when you are driving?
- Squealing or metallic rubbing noise.
- Uneven brake pad wear.
- Leaking brake fluid.
- Clunking sound.
What are the symptoms of a bad brake caliper?
If the brake caliper fails, the brake pads wear out faster than normal.
- Vehicle Pulls To One Side When Driving or Braking.
- High-Pitched Squealing or Metalic Rubbing Noises.
- Brake Pads Unevenly Wear Down.
- Leaking Brake Fluid On the Ground Inside the Tires.
- Clunking Sound.
Will bad rotors make car shake?
Problem 1: Warped Brake Rotors When your brake pads are pressing against a warped rotor, this will cause shaking or vibrations to run through your vehicle. Beyond just the inconvenience of shaking, this can raise safety concerns and create trouble for your brakes.
Why is my car shaking at high speeds?
The most common reason for a car to shake is related to tires. If the tires are out of balance then the steering wheel can shake. This shaking starts at around 50-55 miles per hour (mph). It gets worse around 60 mph but starts to get better at high speeds.
How long will a noisy wheel bearing last?
Usually, a wheel bearing lasts around 1000 to 1,500 miles after it starts making noises. Factors like loudness and nature of the noise, your car’s mileage, driving condition, etc.
