Also, it isn't horrible now, it just looked better before. -Cory
I would shoot it again, although I live in an apt. complex. When I did it last time, it just seemed too shady (I have a 1 car garage, not...

To do a follow up on this forum, the motor in the jag was a targetmaster Base GM crate motor. It also had a Q-Jet on it instead of the holley. I...

I have a 70 camaro that I've been working on lately and when I got that into my buddies garage, it was apparently infested with black widows....
Not a bad idea, by the way, what's PB blaster?
On a followup, the 4 clutch head screwdrivers I bought from Napa didn't fit. I guess I stripped the bolt too much from using a screwdriver. I...
Guess I just lucked out, the Napa up the street has all 4 of them. I looked for the interchangeable heads at Sears and Home Depot, it seems the...
Is this something I can purchase at Napa or any local store? I'm glad you replied as I have been dicking around in the garage trying to think of...
Ok, so I am in the process of rewiring my 55 bel air and I'm at the point of doing the turn signals. I have been screwing around trying to get...

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions -Cory
even though I just spent 30.00 on a new solenoid, I might crack and get the mini high torque starter. I have one on my big block and haven't had...
when i say growl i mean like the starter is getting weaker, not a different noise, just slower which is obviously normal
Full charge optima red top. Whenever the battery is low it usually makes that slow growl
Yeah, I've had the starter out and disassembled twice
it doesn't sound good, but at the same time it doesn't sound like the starter drive is spinning freely, so somewhere it is touching. The problem...
Hey guys, I am posting on here as a last resort as I cannot figure out this problem. I have a 55 with a 350. Over winter, the vehicle sat...
Looks like we have a winner.
Hey guys, I just ordered 8 New shackle bushings for my 55 and the seller accidently sent me 4 from a 56-57 (The longer ones). He didn't want them...
