The first thing to do is NOT post this question! Let me explain... About halfway through my build(in sig below), I got a letter from Autopac,...
OK, so I didn't make the show, but I would rather do it right than have to do it again! I have been plugging away straightening the body, making...
When you relaced that HEI cap and coil, did you remember to transfer the gound terminal from the old cap? Without it, it could backfeed for a...
Don't call it patina!...somebody will start a thread on how to fake the look!
You are outta luck...you gotta replace it.
Is that an aluminum LS block? It would look awesome polished!
Well, I'll admit, I thought it would be easy. However, I will NEVER forget what a pain in the ass it is. I have a lot of respect for the builders...
I have about 4" clearance on my DD, and still legal. I just can't post a pic of it.('88 Astro is too new!)
If the sun shell broke, you would only have first and third gears. No second, fourth or reverse. If the forward sprag crapped out, you can get...
A number of years ago, I popped a rear brake hose on my beater. I clamped on a pair of Vise grips so I could get home. I continued on with the...
If you fix all the neighbors cars, they don't mind that much. In fact, one of my neighbors, a 78 y.o. lady, once brought me cookies at 3AM,...
I know it a dreaded "import", but I had a 71 Datsun 510 that had those style lap belts. Might wanna try the wrecking yard.
Sounds like a 200 to me. If you can see the pan it should be longer/ more rectangular than a TH350 pan, which is almost square.
Jantrix, my wife is doing a little better everyday...thanks for asking! OK, Photobucket just crashed on me, so I'll have to continue...
As far as the boring stuff, these are some of the brackets, covers, panels, and stuff that were a pain, but had to be made. [IMG] (please...
I have got 1 coat of primer on the box/rear fenders so it is looking pretty good! [IMG] There will be wood in the box, but at the front,...
OK,like I said, I got her stripped down again...and hopefully for the last time! Here is the frame with the Buick V6 all dressed up. The air...
OK, it has been a while...but life sorta happened... My wife had surgery on her neck in December, and that put a hold on things through the...
This.
No kidding, WOW!
I had bought an underfloor power brake setup from them last year. It took some time to get in touch with them(found out US 800 numbers don't work...
I don't mind people stopping by in the daylight hours to chat(after all, I am the only mechanic in town!) But once the sun goes down, that's time...
You are more than welcome to take some of our water...
OK Ah-nold... If you install a manual box from an S10(cheap and easy to find) it will be super easy to steer. I have one in mine, and I can...
You're running a power box without the "power" part hooked up? Gonna be a real bitch to turn, no matter how big the steering wheel is.
Are these shoes traditional? If so, you will have to nail them on...
Pretty sure it is on the LH side of the firewall.
As Bill said, the booster is ruptured. The hiss you hear is the vacuum "escaping"(you know what I mean). The pedal is hard because there is no...
"I put a chip in my diesel and now it has 1000 hp and gets 30 mpg" Small world...I think that same guy was in my shop 20 minutes ago!
