That is NOT a fighter, it is an SR-71 Blackbird recon. plane. All it did was take pictures, at 3 times the speed of sound! The fastest jet powered plane ever built.

Gasoline is not a cleaning solvent! In highschool a classmate of mine washed some bearings in gas, he washed his hands afterward. About 2 hours later he put some wood in the wood heater, when he pulled his hands back they were on fire, 2nd and 3rd degree burns on both hands. The only thing I use...

The 8004 is the same as an Edelbrock Performer, a dual plane intake designed for off idle to 5500 rpm. It will work with a stock engine, and quadrajet carb. Some have provisions for EGR and some dont. I ran one for a long time great intake for a mildly built or stock engine.

See what he will pay for the engine, and use the money for a 455 swap.

Yes, if you ditch the carb and distributor you can also ditch the ECM. The torque converter clutch will not lockt you can buy a kit to get it to work if you want. in my experience the tcc in the earlier models was more trouble than it was worth, with a supposed gain of 1 mile per gallon the sure...

Use a big screwdriver in the flywheel teeth, turn it a little at a time untill the bolt is at the bottom where you can reach it.

Does anybody know if the balancer bolt on the LS engines is left hand thread, or right hand thread? Threw a rod in my work truck and need to get the balancer off so I can get the engine out of the engine bay. Tight fit is an understatement, I really do not want to pull the core support off so I...

I am using one out of a 2002 F body in my elky. Just drilled the welds out of the bracket in the camaro, and welded it in the elky. i am using the camaro console as well.

What??? Can I get some of those drugs you are on?

Look at www.por15.com, it is not cheap, but will hold on when other coatings fail. I did my frame, underbody, and floorboards with it. With por 15 preperation is key, be sure to read and follow instructions. also be sure to have a well ventilated space as this stuff has some particularly nasty...

That is the connector you hook the dwell meter to when setting up the carb.

If the car is running, you can shut it off, unhook the line from the carb, hook it to your gauge, and start the engine. there will be enough fuel in the carb to run the engine at idle for at least a minute, more than long enough to get a running pressure reading. The correct pressure is...

is the balancer new? I have seen them slip on the rubber, and the outer ring will not match the hub, so your TDC mark may not actually be TDC. May want to verify the piston is actually at TDC when the balancer says so. Even if it is new it is still worth a look.

give us something to go on, what are the cam specs,which intake etc. Off the cuff sounds like too much cam or timing retarded, but with nothing to go on its just a guess.

Try crossing the front tires and see if the pull goes away or changes, if it does change, that points to a tire problem, if not an alignment is called for. when the did the alignment did they change(add or remove) any shims at the upper control arms? These are the adjustment for caster and...
