    We NEED to adopt the good seller\bad seller list!!!!!!!

    Steering shaft upgrade

    I got mine from the boxy style cherokee. One thing that will tell you if its the right one, is a 7/16 bolt at either coupling. The ones that wont fit are 13mm. I Have bolted it on my elky with a GN steering box but its still waiting for the new motor to go back in. These are very nice peices...

    polish stainless steel

    Ive worked in a machine shop for years and the only stainless that i have come across that has any magnetic properties is 303 and it just barely holds a magnet. 303 doesnt shine like other stainless i have seen either, its more like a cold rolled steel (low carbon) its just a cheaper grade...

    my sbc build up

    This is true megaladon6 if he is using the 100LL octane "blue" AV fuel. LL means low lead. Your better off useing The green stuff but its getting harder to find. The blue AV fuel is more commonly found. RACE GAS IS BETTER THAN AV GAS - it is more volatile, and vaporizes more readily. AV gas...
