So I changed the plugs last weekend, and ran some Seafoam aerosol through the carb, and put a can of Seafoam fuel treatment in the tank. The car starts and idles a lot smoother (except for an occasional stumble) but I have noticed a slight tick at idle that I hadn’t noticed before. It’s not...

I don't want to totally give away my future (possibly distant future) plans, but wanted to know if any of you knew of any companies that did custom laser-cut/etched metal gauge faces. I want to keep the basic look, but the biggest change I want to do is change the speedometer where it maxes out...

Hi guys. So I don’t know if I was stupid or brave to try to undertake this project, but I attempted to change all my plugs and wires today. I thought I managed to successfully complete the job. On the test drive, I noticed it started to run a little lumpy, and I got a minor backfire. When I...

Hi All. Just wondering if any of you have had any experiences with Highway Stars, Car Upholstery Guys or other vendors in terms of replacement (not overlay) seat covers. I have a lead on some Monte Carlo front bucket cores, but want to re-upholster the seats to match the rest of my interior...

I don't have direct experience with the pre-CCC cars, but I can tell you on mine, it's fairly painless. If it's been sitting for a few days or weeks, there's not much fuel up in the carb, so I give it a brief crank without pumping the pedal. Then with the engine off, I floor the gas pedal twice...

Hey guys. It seems whenever I post in here anymore, I get jumped on for being a lightweight for not going all the way with a big-horse engine swap. I'm not going to beat a dead horse, but a full-blown LS swap/restomod is probably not going to happen in one fell swoop. At least for the next...

Hey guys. I did a search for Circle Racing Wheels, and while I saw their products come up on a lot of third-party retailer and vendor sites, the company’s main home page didn’t come up in search, or when I manually typed it in. Does anyone know their status? I’m hoping it’s only because maybe...

Hey Guys! Been meaning to do this for a long time. With all the spare time with the Coronavirus lock-down, thought I'd go ahead and do it. Hope you enjoy.

Hi guys. Just took the wagon out for a drive last night. It's done this every now and then, but seems to be a intermittent issue. It seems to happen when I'm at about 3/4 throttle. Not "floored" but more than light/half throttle. The car will be going, and suddenly stumble, and make a muted...

Just a short clip, but honored to be included: :)

Howdy guys. My driver's side power window is getting very tired and making alarming noises. I haven't had a chance to pull the door panel yet. I've already ordered a new motor off Rock Auto. Unfortunately, the motor and regulator assembly are sold separately. I was wondering if anyone knew if...

So, after getting the staggering quote for the frame-off restomod on my wagon, I’m re-thinking the powertrain strategy. I I’m thinking of doing an aluminum head, 9.5:1 compression 4.1 EFI V-6, like a FiTech type setup. My goal would be about 180-200 wheel horsepower. Honestly, I get so much...

Just wondering what y’all would recommend for a cordless impact driver (for lug nuts, primarily). Generally heard good things about Milwaukee and DeWalt. Any experiences and minimum spec recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

So for the first time since I got it running again, the wagon started dieseling when I shut it down. It used to do it all the time before, but this is the first time it’s done it since I cleaned out the fuel system and had the carb rebuilt. Is it anything to worry about? It’s doesn’t ping...

I don't know where all y'all are spiritually, but my family could certainly use some prayers right now. My brother was admitted into the ICU last Tuesday after telling a friend he wasn't feeling well. Shortly after he arrived at the ER, he started vomiting blood, which he unfortunately aspirated...

Hi All. Just FYI, I reached out to SoffSeal about weatherstripping for wagons. All I see listed on their site is for coupes. The company is headquartered in Lebanon, OH, southwest of Columbus, and northeast of Cincinnati. I'm waiting to see if they have any interest in prototyping/measuring a...

Hi guys. I found this lower door panel at OPGI. It's obviously made for coupes, but wondering if any of you have taken them and chopped them down for 4-doors/wagons. I kind of want to do door speakers, but as is usually the case, the majority of out-of-the-box parts are for coupe models. Just...

Wanted to keep this on the DL until it was official, but now that the issue is out, thought I’d share my feature in Daytona magazine, a Japanese classic car and lifestyle magazine.

When I crunched the numbers on the last fill-up, I averaged about 17.8 mpg. Not horrible, not great. About to be expected for the age of the car, and how I drive it (throttle on or off...You kind of have to with the 231 2-bbl.) What are your guys MPGs?

I apologize in advance if this oversteps forum rules, and if you have to lock or remove, do what you have to do. I’ll cut to the chase. I just kind of had it out with my mother-in-law. TBH, we’ve kind of had a civil but strained relationship in the 13 years I’ve been married. She made a comment...
