To anyone close to the tristate area. (Indiana/Ohio/Kentucky) this is a carshow put on by a kid in memory of his grandfather. I think he was still in high school when he done the first show last year. There was a really nice turnout last year. Just thought I’d throw it out there for anyone close.

Thought I would give gasket matching a shot. I lined a Felpro 1205 gasket up on the intake, and started blending the port to the gasket. Then I put the gasket on the cylinder head and realized how much bigger the gasket is then the port. So I really don’t know if I should open the port opening...

Trying for a quick answer. Theres a lot of information on alternators and I have read until I'm almost cross eyed. My question is for the indicator circuit. I put a 92 chevy truck tbi motor in my car years ago. I hooked the one and only one wire coming from the alternator (brown in color. "L"...

Found old pictures of my first cutlass. This was my first car build as a 17 year old kid. Spent a whole summer building it and spent every dime I had on it. Which added up to $2400, and that’s including the $1000 dollar purchase price of the car. I bought a rebuilt 403 off a guy I found in the...

If anyone can steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I have unplugged my bulkhead connector. Now i am trying to remove one terminal from the plug on the firewall side. I think its to the fuel sender. I know most terminals have a barb that has to be pressed to release it...

I removed my dash in December to paint it. Bieng in a hurry to pull it out I didn't mark or take pictures of connectors. And now I have a couple I can't figure out. If any one could tell me what these are or where they go I'd appreciate it.

Have black carpet coming from a Christmas present. So I figured I better start dyeing the rest of the interior. I uses duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray with there adhesion promoter. I'm really happy with the results. So I wanted to post pictures of the results on here for those that might be...

Just recently bought a set of umi adjustable control arms for a 12 bolt swap in my 86 cutlass. I couldn't be happier. The build quality of the product is excellent, and it really made a difference in the way my car performs when launching and it eliminated all my driveline vibration. I just...

Ok. 383, Muncie 4speed, drag radials, and a 12 bolt with factory control arms. Let's just say it was not a pleasant experience. It felt like the rear end was going to bounce right out from under the car. Yes everyone says don't do that, but some of us just have to learn the hard way. So my...

Just switched from 750 vacuum secondaries to a 700 mechanical. Got the right power valve, float level, and jets. I also put new metering block and bowl gaskets on it. My problem is the driver side idle air screw does nothing. Even when I run it all the way in. The passenger side works fine. It...

I converted my 86 cutlass to a manual trans. using the 78 bellhousing. I've been running a 383 infront of it with a 10" clutch (153 tooth) now I'm gonna run a sb400 which only has the staggered starter pattern for the 11" clutch (168 tooth). Now I've been told the bigger flywheel doesn't fit in...

Last summer in the middle of the hectic stuff that was going on in my life I carved out a couple of house to meet my cousin at a car show. So I hopped in my car and blasted my way toward the car show, so happy to be able to go. Well I was half way there when I seen a 67 chevelle sitting on the...

Is factory s10 spidles exactly the same as far as ride highth or does it lower or raise the car. I had someone tell me that s 10 spidles would raise my car. I've always been under the impression they were the same. Thanks for any help

No of course bigger is not better. From my experiance the opposite is usually the better option. That bieng said I probably just made a mistake, but the price was right. So my car is an 86 cutlass with a ten and a half to one 383 sbc, full roller, aluminum heads, 3.55 gears, with a munci for...

You know when you have that first thought that goes through your head that you ignore. Which turns out to bite you in the back. Yep, should of moved the cutlass. I went outside with my son to practice baseball, and the last one he was going to hit. He popped foul, and right through the...

This said it is the place for all the welded to hang out. So I was looking for some input. I m finally getting a garage after all these years, and I want my 1st big purchase to b a welder. I want to b able to do sheet metal and also do heavier stuff like boxing the frame(eventually notch it) so...

I am new to the forum so I thought I'd tell a little about my car. It's an 86 cutlass that's had alot of trany and motor swaps. The first thing I did was replace the stock trans when it went out.and the one I put in wasn't any better. So I decided to change it over to a four speed and let me...
