Glad to see it’s starting to come together. Are you deep staging for your class? That alone could make enough to get the 7 you’re looking for.

I had an issue on my 70 Nova, and it was the trunk spring rods that ran across between the hinges. They were hitting against each other. There was a small piece of rubber hose that was supposed to get between where they touched that had moved. I don't remember if the malibus have the same...

Shocks don't hold the car up so no.

I used Moog parts in my 70. So far so good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C59YE6/?tag=gbody-20

How did the console fit with the carpet cut like that? I am putting a carpet in my 70 and contemplating cutting around the shifter or removing it and putting the carpet in first. I am almost positive, factory and most resto places put the shifter in first and cut around it. But if it was a...

The other part is hood open or closed as to air restrictions, and how the air moves over the car at speed. I dyno my engine on the stand and then just make sure its not hurting itself in the car. I don't really chase it much in the car. I make sure its rich enough to not go lean in the...

Does this use a threaded clevis to engage the brake pedal? You spin the clevis on to the rod out of the booster to set the pedal height? I haven't done one in years and can't remember if its the later ones that had it or my 70 chevelles and Nova that did.

I think you NEED to have the car you LOVE. If you buy a car because you think its COOL, cool is a novelty and wears off. If you love the car it makes it easier to hold on to it when you just don't have the drive to tinker on it. I have had a few cars that I didnt love. I thought I could...

I have one similar to this up under the back of my car under the trunk floor right off the tank. I remove the sock off the pickup so I never have to drop the tank, and use a filter like this to catch anything else.

I should have been more clear on the Hecho in Mexico blocks. In some limited classes we were looking for any gains possible so we could build lower HP rule limited motors at 0.030 over because they were fine at that bore, and when we were done, the overall engine weighed less than say an early...

Its pretty much fact in the machine shop world that the 010 theory is all made up, but I keep that to myself. We used all different blocks when we built the engines. Core shift and cylinder wall thickness were more of a factor than casting number or 2 or 4 bolt. The 4 bolts were not...

I still run them when I can, but not critical. I am trying to use one on the street to help a solid roller act like a hydraulic roller and keep the lifter roller loaded. Prevent wheel skid too. I have run both Eagle and Scat, and both of them have worked well. My personal engines made 910...

180 is good enough to boil the water out of the oil. 160 is a little cool for me. I ran one in my race car because I didn’t need it getting hot.

I used grade 8 1/2” bolts in mine never had an issue them.

Depends on what you want to call fitting. Jack the car up high enough and anything will bolt on. If you want it tucked inside the wheelwell 275/60-15 is about the biggest.

Yeah a 12” tire will never look right on a 14” wheel. I think a 16.5 Mickey Thompson radial would fit a 14” wheel

Oh that makes sense yeah you need a 14-15” wide tread tire on a 14 “ wheel. I ran 16x32 tires on a 15x15 wheel.

I keep this in my phone 168 tooth flywheel, 96 tahoe with 5.7 engine 153 tooth flywheel 96 impala SS with a 5.7

Well thats good. As long as you went through the motor, you would have found a worn chain or cam gear allowing timing to change. Maybe check the end play in the distributor, so the gear can't ride up and down the cam gear gear. I hated having intermittent issues that you never knew WHEN...

What is the rear tire to wheel size? Looks like in the pictures that the rim is too wide for the tread width.
