I had a brandnew fuel pump go bad in 4 days because it was a cheap chrome plated one and some of the chrome plating came off inside it aparently when I was installing the male fittings for the fuel lines to slide on.... Not cool. Chrome was making the threads bigger than they should be so when I...

How do you tell if you have a thick gear set? I seem to have the EXACT same carrier as this guy, I see the ring gear that is on the carrier is thinner than the 3.73 gearset ring gear I bought from the chevy guy down the street, does this mean i have the thick gear set?

8 degrees BTDC with the vacuume advanced disconnected and hose plugged. Should I turn the distributor more clockwise? Should i go as high as 14?

So, my engine sometimes like to kickbackwards during startup. Really hard on (i imagine) practicly everything.

most excellent! So im pretty sure i can change the flexplate with the engine and trans still in the vehicle, i just need to undo the bolts at the torque converter then at the back of the crank.

Im pretty sure my 400 is externally balanced by the harmonic balancer and the flex plate, my flex plate is getting really shitty and i need to put my new flex plate (the one off my blown up 334 {305,400 crank) onto the car. When i stroked my 305 I bought the flexplate and it barely seen any use...

My 400 small block just recently suffered the misfortune of being caught in a storm. The engine doesnt quite fit under the hood so there is a hole, i usually have the carb and air cleaner covered with a trashbag and all that sits under a car cover. For years this seemed to be all it took to keep...

I built a 334 stroker for my cutlass, it puked. Machine shop messed up the piston ring end gap on 2 of the pistons (at the minimum). Blew the valve reliefs out of the keith black pistons. Either way it was a 305 punched 30+ with keith black pistons, scat 4340 H beam connecting rods and an...

I need good pictures of how to run spark plug wires so they dont look like junk. I also would like some recommendations on spark plug wire sets to get. Im currently running accel shorty spark plugs wich seem to be running too cool for my mostly stock 400. I think i need a hotter plug, then...

My 84 Cutlass Supreme Here she is, 307 has metal shavings in the oil and a horribile knock from both the 307 and a cracked flexplate. So its like knocking in stereo, A 350 with a complete roller valve train, edelbrock performer RPM airgap, edelbrock performer 600 carb, goin in the cutty. Also a...
