I have access to a heavy duty sewing machine. Going to check prices locally for the material. This has me wondering about a headliner too. Anyone...
Glad I'm not the only one!
Came across some great interior "how to's" for the do it yourselfer. It's definately got me thinking!:D
How much do you want for them?
I'm making the switch from a carb back to fuel injection and having a hard time locating the steel lines that attach to the fuel rail. I know that...
I'm making the switch back to a TPI setup. Found a sweet deal on a polished unit complete with everything necessary to do the swap for under $250....
I'm running a 327 with a Edelbrock Preformer intake & carb (1406 600cfm) Plugs & points are new. No problems with fuel flow. It idles fine, but...
I'm outta ideas. I swapped the carb and it's still running lousy. The tank is vented and clean. New fuel lines, filters, fuel pump, distributer &...
Talked to some of the local racers and was told stories of them breaking causing fires. I've broken a few myself but thankfully, never had a fire.
I replaced the mechanical pump with an electrical one and most of the rubber lines with steel ones. Started and ran fine, Pressure guage held rock...
I do have a guage and that reminds me that I forgot to mention that I'm getting some strange readings. Sometimes the needle bounces around wildly...
I'm using rubber lines up to the mechanical pump. A steel line runs up the side of the block then transitions into the rubber line, filter, fuel...
I've been trying to figure out why the truck has been running so irradically and someone suggested that it may be vapor lock. It runs fine when I...
Problem solved!! Got a chance to install the calipers and that took care of the problem. Now on to the engine. Gotta figure out why it's running...
I don't think it's the M/C. It did the same thing last year when I had it running briefly. All components were new, including the hoses and...
Ok , I need a little help here. I have disc's on all four corners & a firewall mounted booster/proportioning valve on my truck. Problem is the...
Found the problem! I disconnected the MC from the booster and compared it to the other one I'd removed. The pin on the booster was too small and...
It's not putting out any fluid. Didn't bench bleed it, I used a vaccuum pump after I Installed it.
I believe it's the mc. I'd used a vaccuum pump to bleed the lines. Had my son the pump the pedal last night while I checked the bleeder and got...
Still tinkering around with the rear end/disc brake swap for my truck. I added 98-02 LS1 rear discs to a mid 70's Camaro 10 bolt. Finished up the...
I used Lokar cables & a floor mounted bracket. Could have used the cables that came with it but I already had purchased the Lokar setup. It was an...
Started out as a $20 brake job, one month & $450 later, I've finally have the upgraded to rear discs. Had to change rearends (because I couldn't...
The pin definitely broke off. Spent the whole day trying to get the darned thing out. Found out it's not a good idea to use a hammer. This rear...
Yep!
Ihave a 10 bolt from a chevy II nova and decided to updrade to disc brakes from the 98-02 LS1. My problem is for the life of me I can't get the...
Think I'm gonna go this route.
Now that I've converted from TPI to a carb I have to figure out the easiest kit to use to control the lockup on my 700r4 tranny. For those who may...
I went ahead and bought an Edelbrock and sold the TPI. Sold the fuel injection on Ebay and got enough to purchase the carb and a new radiator....
I need to decide pretty quick, I just sold the TPI. Looked at a new Holley 600 with electric choke tonight at Oreilly's for $259. I also have a...
That would have been my next move until the wire fried. I'm gonna borrow a distributer from a friend on mine to see if that's the culprit. the...
