Overboost switch funkiness 200 83glt

posted by  someone claiming to be RR on  Tue Oct 30 12:17 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hey guys,

Im increasing the boost in my newly i'cooled 242glt and some weirdness took place.Instead of adjusting my overboost switch with calibrated pump I decided to adjust my switch while on the car.Popped the cap to expose the screw,raised my boost with my dawes,and expected to be able to turn the screw on the switch enough to eliminate cut-out,which happens around 9 psi.

Well I could not adjust the switch enough to stop cut-out,but even when I disconnected the o'boost switch,not vacuum just elect,I still got cut-out,just as if it were hooked up.

What gives?Id like to get an adjustable switch,but Im not sure whats causing the cut-out in the first place.

Thanks for any advise.

RR
