So I bought a pretty clean 92 chevy 1500. Has the 4.3 v6. It idled so low it would stall and I replaced the IAC ans now it screams at about 1800 rpm. Only thing I changed was the IAC. I did the reset procedure that the directions had. Drive 40mph for a couple mins and shut it down and start it...

Not too sure on how to check a u joint for play honestly. But the guy that balanced them said the back tires moved up and down as they were spun while the rim stayed in one spot

I went from my stock olds 14" wheels to some cragar ss' s that are 15" with cooper cobra tires. I get a vibration after like 55 that is worse when im off the throttle than it is when im on it.. and when i put it in neutral the vibration almost goes away.. is it possible that the u joint was bad...

Just looked it up. They are the cragar lug nuts

It has the lug nuts that have the long cone end on them to thread on farther. And it wouldnt make the tire bounce up and down on the balancer

I got some cragar ss' s and cooper cobras off a 77 camaro drag car my dad just got they were all way off balance. Took them to my local midas and the front two balanced just fine.. the back two wheels were spinning perfect. But you could watch the tire move up and down with it spinning. And it...

Has anyone used the air bag spring helpers? The ones that go inside the rear coils to help stop wheel hop? My car hops bad and I want to stop it. Im just not patient enough with adjustable control arms and setting the pinion angle stuff. I was told by a local mechanic/ fellow car club member...

Okay, this might be a little hard to follow at first but bear with me, I have a 79 cutlass salon notchback. I want to put a cowl hood on it.. I found a company that makes bolt on olds cutlass hoods. Would a hood that is specified as a 78-80 cutlass hood still bolt on? Im not sure if they're...

Any way to actually check the motor mount? Or is it going to be cracked?

We have a frame off restored 63 ss impala. It now has the original 327 built like crazy with a t5 and 3.73's. Sometimes if you slowly get on it in first you can watch the shifter move about three inches to the right and it starts to make a grinding sound until you back off. Any ideas?

I'd like to figure out how to stop the wheel hop. But im also running a 7.5" rear so im not sure on what tires I can and cant run. Im only launching off the foot brake so I think I might be able to use some mild street radial tires.. currently researching on how to stop the wheel hop on the car..

Not sure.. it was running 13.9's and my dad told me to try those shift points and it ran two 13.7's right in a row. I was shifting at 5500 every time before that. I keep hitting 99. I would love to break the 100 mark. Also, I get wheel hop probably the first 40ft of the track.

Shift at 4k going into second and 5500 coming out of second. I have a 700r4 and 3.42 gears.. I have about $1500 to dump into it.. What converter in the 700? What gear out back? Another $500 to that budget and you could be flying without major changes, 3000 stall, 4.11 gear, Profiler heads, RPM...

Profiler wants 1100 for 195 heads fully assembled with 64cc chambers.. not bad. Performer rpm is what you guys would reccomend for an intake? I have about a month and a half to think it over. I want more power but heads seem to be the easiest way to make hp and tq.
