3k is a safe point, and as pointed out every engine is different. The faster it comes in the more responsive your engine will be typically. That...
You want it all in as soon as you can get it there without detonation. I would go with the light springs and work my way back up if it pings. If...
Turbo, yes. The 2.3 turbo would be a cool setup, but it is far from traditional...which does not bother me. The mid 80's tbird engines would be...
No words...my wife and I are in our thirties with three kids...so, sorry. Prayers gone up for you to find the good....
I would just hit all the seams with adhesive body caulk. You can get it at any automotive store that sells body work products. Careful, it is...
Great pick for a project. My Dad helped me restore my first truck, a 57 Chevy, 20 years ago. I kept it until last year and ended up doing a two...
Had a fire less than a mile from my house last weekend kick up. The firemen did not think they were going to be able to contain it and were about...
Whoops, just saw your reply. You are only getting 11 degrees advance which is actually not a bad thing because you can run up the initial. On a...
Yup, I am wondering on that one too. I think he is saying there is 18 degrees advance added with the vac adv. If so that is about right for the...
I'm not understanding your initial post. Can you clarify how much total advance you have without the vacuum advance hooked up? Also, how far up...
Okay, that makes sense. I have done solid color only and just sprayed the jambs and hinges with the door open. I actually did this and the...
As hobby painter only I just want to ask about the above process of painting exterior first and then jambs and interior. I have done a couple...
Well, I got the front spring drop blocks removed and got it raises up an inch or a little more in the front. The toe changed 2 freakin inches...
Pretty cool, Dyna. Turbos at low boost are a real easy way to raise useable power and there is very little added stress because you can do it at...
Details?
That is rediculous....I like it!
Boost, EGT and AFR guages are kindof a must. It is a little costly, but you just have to have it to tune a street engine. The last one I did was...
Yep. If you could find a complete center section with the gears you want, it would be an hour or so swap and your done.
Just stay calm.... Had a similiar situation. I told they guy I would sell him the car and he could do what he wanted with it. He mumbled that...
I was gonna suggest turbo, but seeing how it is non-traditional...:rolleyes: But, since you brought it up.... A Garrett T3 from any of the...
It does look like the valves was your biggest cause of problem. BUT, that head gasket is blown(or as rick said leaking). It is black and has...
Bump steer is when the toe setting change due to suspension compression or extension(moving up or down). So, if you are driving and hit a bump...
I suppose...some are just old traditional hotrod guys that are just more open minded I guess :p Don't get me wrong, I love traditional cars with...
Yep, you are right. When the suspension is right it makes them handle great. However, it also exposes ALL the problems if they exist. I had...
Not to sound like an echo, but yup...me too. However, headgaskets still look to be leaking.
If you look between the two cylinders in the picture there looks to be carbon buildup between the cylinders. I also dont see a nice clear ring...
Thank you for the input. I am curious if you have a nice trick for accurately measuring toe in a home garage. I figure I can use a reference...
I am kindof thinking what you are on the long arc issue the more I look at this. I am going to remove the spring drop spacers first and see what...
Yep, could have been bad for sure. Seriously, mustang6147, not sure where you got that idea, but it is just not right. [hint] We're trying to...
Shit, we forgot those 80's chevys had the high pressure intake check valves preventing compressed air from leaving the carburetor thus forcing...
