    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2023]

    Not today, but mid last week the eternal "swap a SBC into a 1950 Mercury" project left my driveway to go in for exhaust. It will be back for tuning/troubleshooting after it's fixed from 'don't want to piss off my neighbors with open headers' status. :LOL:

    Built a couple watches based off a Timex built in late 60's/early 70's my brother had when we were young. This was a small quartz, boy size watch at 31mm, plastic case and rubber bracelet. This is the original: I commissioned 4 dials to be built (my brother, 2 other buddies, and I) and...

    Holley GBody Fuel System

    That setup is a return style, will keep fuel cooler and fuel pressure more accurate as it is not dead heading, i.e. the return prevents that. Early LS from Chevrolet had a filter/regulator that returned fuel at the filter where as the one you linked will require a line from regulator all the way...

    Sold the GMC dually last weekend. One more project that I don't have time for is gone. Only four more vehicles to sell to be less distracted. At least vehicle-wise.

    Marriage: 1980 Grand Am and 2005 GTO Build Thread.

    Don't know if I have the measurements anymore but I used wood to build a cart then built a tip-tissorie with much of the same wood working on my Malibu floors and some heavy angle iron pieces to mount to front and second set to rear body mounts. Some of the links in my thread to pics are bad but...

    Relay getting too hot!

    Slim chance but do you have a clamp on meter you can watch the amp draw when the relay pulls in? The inrush when a motor starts should be the highest amperage you see but settles down and depending on the motor draw can be up to 3 times the running amperage.
