    Gas gauge off? Or is this normal?

    It's normal. If the float only gos so high and you fill it so the gas is say 3" over the highest the float will go, then you will burn that 3" of gas before it moves. Thus the gauge won't move for some time.

    whats a good size gear for the street

    Driving on the street on a 65 mph (75 actual speed) highway everyday I hate the thought of anything lower (numerically higher) than my 3.08s. I noticed a night and day diffrence from my 2.41s but I pay for it in fuel and it runs noticeably hotter down the highway. I turn roughly 3000 rpm at 70...

    442 Rims or IRocs need your help.

    I vote irocs. They do look good (i may have a bias). The factory wheels look good but 14s don't fill the wheel well right imo.

    whats better olds 350 or sbc 350?

    I will make people mad. I like chevy motors just on the fact of they are easyer to work on. The wide olds motors make exhaust a pain. Not only that but if your on a budget chevy parts are easy to find for cheep. If I wasn't working on it or paying for it my olds would be olds.

    Gm 8.2 10 bolt questions

    I have an 8.2 out of a 68 chevelle. 3.08 gears open diff behind a sbc with roughly 300hp. It's holding great and the swap is easy. I used iceman swap arms but if I could go back I probably would have went with the umi arms based on customer service.

    12 bolt width, and wheel/tire fitment

    Just throwing it out there, camaro iroc wheels fit perfect with the wider A body rear. That's what I am running and the backspacing was ideal.

    8.5" rear end question

    Rember a g body 8.5 needs a 1" shorter driveshaft. 12 bolt swap arms are less than $200 check iceman racing on eBay (search 12 bolt swap arms) or umi makes them. It's only the uppers you need and a conversion ujoint (i got mine at autozone for $10)

    NEED HELP FROM THE CHEVY BOYS..

    I don't know I tend to do things cold. If its cold leaving the cap on creates a vaccume effect that slows the coolent down. If its hot enough to build presure its probably hot enough to burn.
