Could that be four separate pieces of thin wire covered to look like one?
I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you two had a pretty great life together. Thank you so much for letting us know.
Maybe a dumb question, but how do you plumb a return line? Most old car gas tanks don’t have an extra fitting for a return line.
You are not wrong, but take that same $27,000 into a new car dealership these days and see how far it gets you. Not very. I’m 57 years old, and...
Mine has never taken the wheel, but she is quite the trooper for riding along. Two years ago she rode in the T-Bucket with me from Michigan to...
On a similar note, years ago people started using Av gas in their race cars and hot rods simply because there was no high octane racing fuel...
I’m going to go on record saying that ethanol in gas isn’t as big a deal as many make it out to be. I recently did an experiment. My boat had sat...
I recommend 4” mirrors, if you want to actually use them.
My T Bucket still has both of the factory u-joints, held in by plastic. They still feel as good as new. The driveshaft came from a 1979 Malibu....
Lol. Yep those plastic snakes were a regular thing back in the ‘80s.
Is Hugger Orange the same as Chevy engine Orange?
Me too.
Abso-fricking-lutely! That is exactly the kind of thing these old cars are great for. Sometimes my wife will cruise with me, but my dog is...

When I saw the title, I thought this was an engine question or discussion. Get well soon Larry, and thanks for the positive update.
Thats what I’m thinking. Some kind of modified or late model maybe. The left side may be kicked out to blow the exhaust away from the driver.
You are definitely right about that. The only way to make an LS look good is by covering it up, and just keeping the hood shut.
What’s with all the LS engine hate by the way. Those things make some serious horsepower at a decent price. (And they burn gasoline) Isn’t that a...
I’m so excited to see this thread pop up. This car was my all time favorite Hot Rod cover car. I’m so happy to learn that it still exists, and...
Ethylene glycol completely breaks down within 10 to 28 days. Depending on which source you believe. For what it’s worth, airports dump tons of it...
White VHT. About two years since the last touch up. [ATTACH]
That sounds like Richie Evans.
That is a pretty safe bet.
Have you tried playing with the ignition timing yet? Try advancing it 5 degrees and see if it runs stronger.
Exactly. Those tall gears are really only going to hurt you during the launch from a stop. The engine should still feel strong from 2000 RPM’s and...
One thing I would do before changing any parts. Hold the engine at about 2000 RPM and pull off one plug wire at a time, just to make sure you...
This might be a dumb question, but what type of connector should I use for a “higher” amp circuit? Say in the 30 amp range? I am using one of...
My Chevys like that too. It makes quite a difference.
I’m not usually one to bring threads back from the dead, but I just finished reading all 15 pages of this one. I thought someone else might be...
I absolutely agree. I was an AC Delco guy for many years. A few years an ago I ran into problems with two different sets of AC Delco plugs. In...
