Awesome to hear the intercooler is doin it's thing! Going from 220 IAT to 72 is amazing.
Interesting that the turbo went out, that's the one that did 2 drag weeks correct?
Do you think the converter broke due to power, broke due to age/wear, or it's fine and you just make so much more power...
According to the guy who bought it on the 2+2 owners FB page he is somewhere between collector and museum owner and talked about registering it as a home built street rod or something along those lines. He is in TX and it sounds like the rules are pretty lax.
Even so, there is an easy $9k in...
But then there are deals
Something about being some Petty museum piece/GM prototype that Petty snuck back door out of GM? No VIN. Sat in a museum it's whole life...
The search for a 73-4 Omega/Apollo roller for drag week 8.50 build saga
A $1500 76 Skylark showed up 30 miles away. Worth a look

Quarters and rest of the body are straight and little rust

As long as the sealing geometry is correct the material won't have any impact.
Buna and viton are regularly run to 3000-5000 psi in hose fitting o ring applications. Typically 1.5x overpressure tested so 7500psi is a good target.
Viton and Buna are basically going to be your main options. There are some more exotic materials but unless you want a custom shot of 20,000 and 6 month leadtime it's probably going to not provide noticeable improvement.
If you REALLY want to get into things, I suggest checking out the good...
I had like 2hrs of videos on my phone and my google account said I need to pay for storage, so I decided I would just process the videos I intended and delete them so I can plug my phone up with more car photos.
Anywhere heres a video on my CPP swaybar install.
I don't see why the VT loophole is considered unethical. It should exist in every state IMO.
The main reasons title's exist is just to give a papertrail for banks to give loans against. Is it more appealing to steal a car if it can be licensed without a title? I guess, but if you report the...
Burned in the upper brackets on both sides tonight, drilled the bushings out on the UCA's to accept 1/2" instead of M12 hardware. Got the driver's side LCA bracket welded in but need longer hardware so I called it a night.
Overall the welds went ok. Position was hard and I didn't weld 360...
More than one less than 1 too many? Lol not really.
I've spent the last 3 days blowing snow (14" in about 3shots in the last 2 1/2 days so been busy there.
So I got my poop in a group and ordered heim LCA's from Trick along with the rear control arm braces. Trying to stiffen the rear up and...
Riv in so-so shape with a dead engine and no title is not a $3500 car. Just my opinion but....
A rusty 78 leaking Fsomething50 isn't worth $3k in my opinion either but...
The engine is shiny so it either had a craigslist spray bomb rebuild or it actually was rebuilt and hot screwed up. It's a...
How much height did you have to lift the trunk floor? I ran into issues getting a single -6 elbow to not hit the trunk on my twin 450 home brew setup and ended up putting some 3/8" spacers between the trunk and floor pan.
Off topic, does your car have some odd 3 link suspension setup? I don't...
Welcome! Looks like a good start!
