Well, i finally got time to tear down my olds 403 and see what happened, i thought initially it was either a flat lobe/bad lifter, and that it was my fault. Guess i was to quick to place blame... The pushrod failed.... Cam was fine, still going ahead with replacement, lifter was ok too...

I wiped out a cam lobe on the trip to SC so instead of picking up another cheap daily driver i'm just gonna get the new cam and get it done. First, i didn't like the idle of my old cam and it was kind've miss-matched so i need help picking a new cam profile. So if anyone can help out let me...

Ok well a few days ago my brother bought this piece of sh*t 1986 Pontiac fiero as his daily driver, crapped out 48 hours later. The main issue is that this puts BOTH of our jobs in jeopardy and i JUST moved to a new area. The car is an 86 pontiac fiero with a 2.8L, the problem is that it went...

Hey guys i'm leaving from PA tomorrow and moving back to SC, driving my monte the whole way. Wish my luck! It's roughly 800-900 miles, guess those 2.41 gears are somewhat of a blessing now :P We'll be taking i-77 S instead of I95, my wifes driving a geo metro with a 3 speed and that little...

Wasn't sure which forum to put this under.. I've got an 88 Monte Carlo SS and i need a speedometer cable, but i don't know which one will fit my car.. It splits into two parts near the master cylinder before it passes through the firewall, the upper portion is what is short but the lower isn't...

I found an old hotrod magazine at a fleamarket, march 1968. It's got an article/front page about the OHC engines, i can't even find these pics online so have fun yall lol. I thought this add was funny lol Tried to rotate the pics but it wouldn't let me, sorry.

I had to replace the differential in my car, ended up with a 2.41 gear ratio. Using this top speed calculator, http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/tyres.html, it calculates my cars top speed to be 176 MPH. Really? My axle ratio is 2.41, TH350 , 265/65/15 rear tires. Makes me wonder if the...

Cars an 88 Monte carlo SS. Untill now the gauge did nothing, i checked the power lead in the cluster for the gauge and got nothing. However the ground was good, and i had continuity between the tank and gauge so i know that wiring harness is in good shape. So too narrow things down i pulled the...

I've only got a few offers so far, adds been up for weeks. What's the deal? I'm moving in a few weeks and i NEED to sell this engine... http://altoona.craigslist.org/pts/4393413086.html

I've got an 88 Monte SS, turn signals won't blink, all bulbs good...where should i start?

I thought i had this figured out but i didn't. Comp cams is telling me i should be using the LIGHTEST set of springs supplied with my curve kit, but i can only use the heaviest set. If i use even the medium my engine is into it's advance at idle. Is what comp cams is saying just not going to...

Alright the 7.5" 10 bolt in my 88 Monte just went out, it's pretty gone. I wen't to pick up another differential that i was told was a 7.5 out of an early 80's monte, it's actually an 8.2 differential. Are the 8.2's better than the 7.5's ? Second, this one's got what appears to be a 3.08 gear...

I joined a gbody group on facebook the other day and one of the members posted his build, it's a 305 stroked to a 331, using a set of WORLD heads, don't know the other specs. Pretty impressive for a 305 Builders are chev pasmore, and yakko reyes. They won't say what they're putting it in, but...

Well i built this engine over the summer, bottom end was a shortbloock. I put new main studs in it and checked everything while i was in there, it all seemed tight and i didn't see any cause for concern. Broke the cam in just fine, and did allot of test driving to get the engine tuned in...

Das beetle yah I've been working on this car for a few days now, the women asked me to figure out what was wrong because the car won't idle and she had some "mechanics" work on it a few months back but according to her they made things worse, and charged her allot of money. The car fires up...

Mines leaking, never done one before so what all is involved? Do i have to remove the valve body..ext ? Kind've a pain in the *ss considering i had this transmission rebuilt :?

Alright, just for the record here i'd never talk bad about snap on, i've got allot of money spent with them and i like allot of their tools, great products. That being said, on to the rant.... I've had two tools give me enough grief to piss me off, one was my Cordless 14.4V 3/8" drive impact...

She's an 88 Monte Carlo SS, stock gauge, new sending unit. The cluster panel is too modified to use the original wiring so i'm just going to wire it up myself. To my understanding, all i have to do is supply a good ground, and run a wire straight from gauge to sending unit, correct?

Hey guys, I've got an 88 MCSS with a Th350 in it now, whats a good after market shfiter to run? I can't seem to find a factory TH350 shifter setup for a reasonable price. If anybody has or knows of one for sale, PM or post please. I'd prefer one that bolts up in place of the factory shifter...
