    I'm not loving my 40's, a bit too loud at idle. I hear the thrush's are nice and quiet at idle and get loud when you gas it. anyone?

    Headlight Upgrade???

    I just installed the painless wiring headlight relays to run non-sealed beam light (H4) this weekend. The "housings" I have (which came from year one) have the colored halo thing. I did it for giggles, but now wondering if I should keep the puerto rican day parade bicycle look.... I wired it to...

    Top of the line Car Covers

    I have no garage and I have a $200 cover, but it lets rain in quite fine. I understand that it needs to breathe, but I want a cover that breathes and lets in NO RAIN. Any suggestions? $$ no object.

    Rear Quarter Panel Differences 78-88

    78-80 rear quarters are the best thing about those years IMO. Looks like a muscle car. Be happy that's what you need.

    Yet another cylinder heads question

    I see your point. Wasn't thinking about lining up the distributor to point to #1. Thought I'd have to mark it regardless. I'll go ahead and do it that way at least I'll know where I can start lashing!

    Yet another cylinder heads question

    I don't have the heads off. The important thing is to keep the distributor gear in sync with the cam. If I just remember to put it back the way I took it out I don't need to worry about TDC at all, or am I missing something? So I mark the distrib. and remove. Remove everything including the...

    Yet another cylinder heads question

    Got most everything I need for my head swap from summit. But I have one question. Do I HAVE to find TDC to swap the heads? Can't I just mark the heck out of the distributor and reassemble everything before I start lashing the valves? So when I start turning it over everything will be back in place?

    SBC 355 into 84 Cutlass Supreme*PICS*

    Those rocker looks like they're attached to the old pushin studs, which are too short. The polylocks don't appear to have enough stud to grab onto. Verify that you have at least 1.75" screwin studs or that's trouble waiting to happen.

    Cant find power wire for stereo, anyone else?

    I tapped the cig lighter also, but I may have a problem. I tried to use the lighter as a power port for a car CB radio and started smelling electrical burn. Not sure if it was the shitty CB or if it was drawing too many amps through my splice. Anyone have success tapping the cig lighter and...

    HELP me fix this!

    I tightened the alternator a little, since it was the loosest. I squirted a little handsoap in the pulley valleys and turned it over a few times. Went for a cruise.... Still there! Parked and went inside the fancy beer store and went for another cruise. Well lo and behold I couldn't get it to...
