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...

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...

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...

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?

Currently im running a chevy 350 bored .040 over. 9.77:1 compression with flat top pistons. Comp cams xe268 cam. Weiand intake and an edelbrock 750. It has 062 vortec heads that havent seen a machine shop yet. Stock valves and springs. No porting. I was looking at going to Edelbrock E-tec heads...

I went to a pier in a near by city and when I went around the loop at the end the rear felt like it lurching and the back end was shaking funny. And sometimes when I back up it makes a thud sound. The posi and gears were all proffesionaly done.. could it be a mount or bushing?

So, I'm looking to go to the track to race for my first time. It's a test and tune so there will be a couple runs for my car. 79 olds cutlass salon on street tires. 3.42 posi rear. Built 700r4 with a 1800 stall. Chevy 350 bored .040" over. 10:1 compression with 062 vortec heads and an edelbrock...

We acquired a 63 impala ss with an extremely built numbers matching 327. The hei distributor now doesnt have power unless we use a jumper wire to the 'R' terminal on the starter. As soon as we pull that jumper wire off it dies. What would be the reason for this? It was fine two days ago and all...

So, this kid that graduated two years ago is trying to say that his stock 2006 honda with a big fart tube would beat my 79 cutlass salon. 350 bored .040" over. Flat top pistons with vortec heads. 9.77:1CR. Roller rockers and a weiand intake. Edelbrock 600. Brand new rebuilt 700r4 with a really...

Im looking for the spring mounting clips for the radio panel and front speaker covers. I've looked all over and nobody sells the right ones. They're the ones that loop all the way around just about. They always seem to break but I was hoping to find some for sale that someone has laying around...

My girlfriend has a 2000 honda accord with the VTEC 4 cylinder. I have yet to look at it but she said it overheats. And it started when her, let's say, mechanically disadvantaged father put a heater core in. Is there a way he could have switched the hoses and it's making it overheat? She changed...

I recently killed my 700r4 and want to buy a new one. Any ideas on where to get a good stret strip trans? I'd love a super hard shift.

So, on my way to work my car ran great. No problems. Went to stop at a stoplight and then all of a sudden my 700r4 will hold first for days. I left work and had to pull over about four times because if i put the tv cable all the way in it would shift really early and i finally got it working to...

We started my new 350 last night. 350 .040" over. Vortec geads and a xe268 comp cam. We started it, fired right up. Rockers started ticking because they were loose and then this popping noise started. It isnt popping up out the carb but if you cup your hand over the carb it quiets it down...

So, i bought these 062 heads from New Jersey. I was told they came off a crate motor. Not sure if they have been machined for more lift or not. But we got the comp xe268. Its a .040" over 350 in a 3200lb car with a stock converter 3.42's and a 700r4. Just want to make sure the heads will hold...

Okay, i probably sound like a moron. But this has me extremely confused. Im trying to figure out what piston and CR i want for my vortec headed 355 and everywhere i look people are talking about total and initial timing. What is total timing and how do i figure it out? Its going to be a vacuum...
