Following are three GMC related comments I have been curious about.
What's your opinion/experience?
Is extended idling detrimental for our 403/455 engines? At break in it is suggested to run at higher rom -- but what about idle time max for "broken in" engines? I have read people running at idle for two hours to charge the batteries.
Will placing the key in the run position (engine off) for an extended period burn the points on the early points/condenser ignition? Someone once mentioned this in connection with leaving the key in run to allow the compressor to pump up the airbags.
What benefits accrue from "drive it like you stole it" -- this is occasionally mentioned in connection with engine performance.
