Cars pretty rough but I'm going to snag the steering column and the rear end if it's posi and some other...

    Well my fun has been short lived. I blew a clutch line so I need to drop the transmission now to replace it. Also need to get my interior put together and my passenger seat installed and get some real paint on the car. But it's getting there. Soon I'll have to start on my regal just to keep myself...

    Well haven't done much lately except blew my clutch line so the cars been down a few days. I've been just driving it and getting some miles on it to shake it down and get any bugs to show themselves before I attempt any real road trips. Seems to bog/hesitate slightly in the lower rpms but runs...

    Okay guys. How important is a pcv valve? Do I really need it or can I just run 2 breathers? Hooked mine up today and the car seemed a bit off. I'm not sure if maybe it's got a vacuum leak around my barb fitting maybe or what. What do you non ls fellas run?

    Well I've probably got around 50 miles or so on it now. They haven't all gone well lol. I've been fighting a temperature issue that I've finally figured out. Coolant kept disappearing and it liked to get up around 230 for temp. Finally figured it out when I could smell coolant and it was passing...

    87 Monte build

    Yeah it almost popped up but I hit the brakes in time lol. It's got a hydraulic throw out bearing and an f-bodd clutch master. It's my error that's got it not fully disengaging. The way everything is mounted the rod put of the master stuck past the mount on the pedal so I shortened it. So now I...

Just having some issues with the clutch. you put it to the floor but the car will start rolling as soon as you crank it over if you try to start it in gear and you can't get it into gears while driving. But I did...

    Okay so I finally got it to start! For 2 seconds and I had to shut it right off because the carb is junk and was dumping fuel all over the engine. But I've got another carb, and all the parts I need to get it driving! Also tomorrow is my last day at my old job so I have to finish it if I want to...
