DO NOT plug the power valve and try to "correct" for the missing power valve with richer jetting...it won't work. Your carb doesn't have any way...
+1...the Safety-Kleen guys want too much money!
Nothing in the antique registration rules that I can see says anything about the engine having to be OEM....only that it has to be 25 years or...
Bought a 67 GMC truck for $900 bucks once. Wouldn't shift into any gears except reverse and 1st, and it ran like crap. When I looked under the...
Getting excited already. I thought that was Arturo's car when I saw the pic of the postcards on facebook.
Banger newb here...picked up a 31 coupe. Trying to get it running.
I tried to get my optometrist to understand that I needed my glasses (bifocal) to work at typical shop distances. He doesn't "get it" and tried to...
Sounds like the 3x2's with progressive linkage is feasible. Anyone with dual quads?
4" bore and 327 crank...cheater. :p Sounds like a fun combo, though. What trans are you running? Rear gear?
How well does it pull below ~3000 rpm?
How about it...anyone running dual-quad or tri-power on a 283? Details on your set-up and engine spec's appreciated. Please don't suggest more...
The 1991 TBI 5-speed was still getting 18 mpg with 250K miles. I DID neglect to mention that the 5.3 is 4wd Z-71 and has a tow package. Best I've...
Totally OT, but WRT to fuel mileage...I had a 91 GMC truck with a TBI 350 and 5-speed. It got better mileage with 250K miles on the clock than my...
+1 on wire transfer. As a seller, I was a little leery of it at first, but once I got the lowdown from my bank, I was quite happy with the process...
Unsubsidized, unregulated, and untaxed ethanol? About $100 a gallon to buy it direct from the distiller (less if you cook your own). It's hard to...
The threat seems to be related to the pop-up notification for new messages. Hit me twice in early-mid June.
Thanks, I'll look it up and go from there.
I like it! Very interested in what you've done suspension-wise. I've got a "new" 31 coupe I'm getting ready to build, and like the way yours sits.
-2" front and -3" rear springs from CPP got my 64 down pretty low, but now it sits on the bump stops if I put my Harley in the bed. Rides nice,...
It's a 307. Big-valve heads combined with every single cam recommended here is gonna KILL low end performance, and I guarantee you won't be happy...
My thoughts exactly. After a layer of grease and dust builds up there (ever seen a SBC that you didn't have to clean that pad to read the ID &...
I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from HF with hydraulics in it. I didn't take a floor jack with me once when I went to pick up a project car (wheels were...
PLEASE bring your SDRA or HA/GR cars to the Thaw!
I gotta go shopping!
I actually have and DRIVE a truck with the OG 2bbl 283 and Powerglide. The PG doesn't whine in low gear, it gets decent mileage (as least as good...
Let's see....KKOA drags this afternoon, Pushrod gig tonight, KKOA show tomorrow. Heck yeah, you'll have it started tomorrow for sure. (If you keep...
We were too busy drinking your beer.
