    Cold Weather = Wont Start?

    Problem has been getting worse as it gets colder. Used to be a rough start (crank, almost die, then idle like normal) now it wont idle at all! Cranks and immediately dies. I can manually give it gas and it will run as long as I give it gas, but as soon as I let off the idle drops and she dies. I...

    Engine Acting Up

    the issue that came to mind is money. If this engine is going to cost me a bunch of cash and/or require a bunch of work that I cannot do myself, then the cost of the engine will not really be worth it (despite how badly I actually want it). What would you guys go about checking first? I thought...

    Engine Acting Up

    Friend has offered to give me a mid-60's 427 out of his car before it gets "totalled out" (despite damage being minimal). Took a drive in the car, and engine runs smooth until going uphill or giving it some gas. It sounds like it is pinging but then studders and learches and the exhaust note...

    Starting Frustration

    Good morning everybody, Two mornings ago I went out to the car, took the cover off, put the key in and turned to the roar of silence. No clicking, no turning over, nothing. Turn the key back to the off position and hear a click coming from the engine bay. I go pop the hood and pull the positive...

    Exhaust Questions

    Does somebody wanna fill me in on the part about the stock tips- arent they just a single inlet dual outlet tip for both sides? Why/How could that possibly be so restrictive compared to the way that piping has to be run over the axle? Would tips really make that big a deal?

    Exhaust Questions

    Hey Everybody- Finally decided to upgrade out of the stock single exhaust and am looking at my options. I noticed that there is a header set (I think by MAC?) that doesnt require a power steering drop- anybody tried these or have any opinions? Would prefer to avoid have to bother with it- Also...

    Suspension Frustrations

    Both front and rear are 255/50/16. The metal on metal sound is coming from the right rear, and only the right rear (which is what is so strange- if the suspension was too low, or the tires were too wide then I would think that both sides would rub on bumps, not just the passenger side?)

    Suspension Frustrations

    Hey everybody, I have been really getting frustrated with my 67 fastback and before I go crazy, I thought Id post the situation and see what the experts think. When I got her, the front and rear springs were shot and rubbing on corners. Replaced both (620's up front and 4 1/2 Mids rear) and...

    Political boo-boo...

    One of my best friends is over there fighting right now, and everytime that I speak with him, he says that the media is fairly one-sided on how they report what goes on over there. It is evident to him that they are doing good and are helping the people over there. He compared it to trying to do...

    Political boo-boo...

    now dont get me wrong and tag me pro-bush, because there are lots of things that he has done that I dont agree with but this post made me think of a couple of things 1) Americans 3-4 months after 9/11 were screaming for justice. Nobody in the general media argued the need for a response because...

    Butyl Window Sealer?

    Anybody know of a good place that I can order the correct sealant for putting on new weatherstripping? All of the usual places either have window-weld or an unknown/generic sealant and I would like to make sure that I use the correct stuff. Thanks!

    front carb inlet

    this is probably a really dumb question that I will figure out 10 minutes after posting but oh well :shrug: I current have the stock autolite 2v on and am seriously considering swapping new intake/carb but noticed that the carbs I was looking at both have side or back fuel inlets. Is there a...

    Parking Brake Adjustment?

    Hey everybody, I just replaced the parking brake cable, but have noticed now that I have to pull the brake almost all the way back before it even starts to tighten down. Is there anyway to adjust this? Right now it just seems like I run out of brake lever before the brake gets good and tight-

    "valet switch" on a keyless entry system

    On my truck, I had a valet toggle. Basically when the switch is turned on when the car is running, the car will continue to run, but as soon as the key is turned to off, it kills the ignition so that the car cannot be started again until the switch is flipped back to normal. That could just be...
