    Belt melting

    After I installed my A/C, my alternator belt melted. Same with a second belt. Pulley on the alternator is moving freely. Alternator appears to be charging fine. Any idea?

    AC Lines

    I'm trying to run lines for my AC and I wanted to know what the best way to knock the hole in the firewall is? Do you just bang on it with something or does it need to be drilled?

    Installed Derale Electric Fan

    After a couple hiccups with the relays for my MSD system, I installed a derale electric fan and automatic fan controller. There fan is rated (and I'd say probably pretty accurate if not understated) at about 2200 cfm and comes with a cowl attached. The automatic fan controller is awesome and...

    65-66 control arms and shocks

    I have a full set of upper and lower control arms - used but other than the dirt you wouldn't know! I went to a full roller set up so, they weren't needed. Also have KYB shocks, just as used but still in great shape - just upgraded.

    Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Aluminum Heads

    Missing one of the rocker studs. Just had new valve seats and springs installed and was examined by a machine shop when I had my new engine put in - just decided to go with AFR 185s instead of these which had been sitting in my garage for several years - I bought them in 2005 and never used...

    Sanden PN

    I've found a good deal on a CAA Perfect Fit for my '66 (see Signature). However, it is minus the compressor. I'm wanting to run an R134 compressor (obvious reasons) does anyone know the Sanden part number I'd need or can anyone recommend another compressor I could use?

    USA-630 or some engineering...

    I am almost done with my '66 (done as in, I can drive it ont he regular if not every day.) So It has a USA-6 that the previous owner put in it. I hate it. Unfortunately, I really don't want to cut the dash. The consensus a long time ago was that Custom Auto Sound radios sucked and my...

    Not Starting - carb?

    Second hand carb, supposedly rebuilt but who knows... Anyhow, car turns over, fuel is getting to the carb (pump is working) and there is a spark, but there's no ignition. '66 with a 302. Carb is an older Edelbrock 1406. I attached it as part of a 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion. I have a...

    Stereo Head Units

    Just doing some research here... Given that my experience with Custom Auto Sound has been poor and the opinion of it that I have heard have been poor, I wanted to ask (especially for owners of '65-'66 cars): What do you want out of a head unit? This is an open ended question. What...

    Obnoxiously loud squealing noise

    Okay here goes: I changed the C4 in my 66 to a T-5. I also did headers at the same time and have not got them connected to mufflers just yet. I fire up the engine and I get an incredibly loud, high pitched squealing noise. Engine itself is running smooth. I've eliminated the...

    Insurance

    It's that classic problem, not quite 25 (less than 6 months to go...) so most classic car places won't insure me. Hagerty won't insure me for 3 years because my last car was stolen (because, that was my fault after all...) Allstate wants an arm AND a leg AND a testicle ($527 every 6 months...

    Post-Surgery Report

    Just to let all of you who I am sure, are waiting in pregnant anticipation: Surgery went better than expected. I was already asleep from the opiates they gave me Fentanyl and Vercett, but I am told they took me in right at 1145, exactly on time. They removed the rod reverse of install...

    Installing Drip Rail Molding

    So I need to get the new drip rail molding on after installing the new vinyl top...while it looked trivial, it hasn't worked out so well. Is it my awkward left arm? Or is there a trick?

    Most likely going to try and install the new vinyl top on my '66. Anyone have any tips or advice? How hould it be lined up and what should I do at the drip rails? How far down onto the windshield ledges should it go?

    Got the car back from the paint shop

    Kind of bad timing as I am about to go into surgery again, but I should be able to get some work done on re-assembly here soon and I definitely should have it back together in time for the Ga Tech Car Show in April. Anyhow, shot some quick pix with my iphone (sorry, didn't have time to whip...

    Second surgery.

    Sometime in the next week I will be having a second surgery on my left arm as the bone has not healed. I'm told that the humerus is the number 2 bone to suffer a non-union after a full fracture due to a poor blood supply to the mid-shaft. They will be removing the rod that was put in during...

    Mustang Steve Cable Clutch and Headers

    Hey gents (and ladies?), I'm going to get some hooker headers from jet-hot and I'm trying to decide between comps and super comps. The comps are a lot cheaper but I know that the super comps will fit my mustang steve clutch cable conversion with my T5. Does anyone know if the comps will fit...
