Re: 91 Camaro running hot, no idea what it could be..

The 3 core radiator should keep you cool. You said you have the air dam in place, but is all the nose radiator shrouding in place too? It was meant to direct airflow through the radiator.

Re: true tdc

If you're on the compression stroke both valves will be closed on the cam base circle and if you can put a finger in #1, then as you approach TDC you'll feel a rush of air past your finger.

There are numerous intermediate gaskets that are used on Rochesters. Make sure you use the proper ones or this could happen. Also, make sure your rebuild kit if for your serial number carb.

You can soften a harsh tweeter by wiring it out of phase from the mids.

Re: Audio tuning

You can also tune your system by reversing polarity on a certain speaker to tone down harshness or a certain tone. For example if a tweeter is too bold, you can reverse the polarity to tone it down.
