    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

    That's kind of what I'm getting at: what DO people want?

    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

    unfortunately all if you may be right. I haven't been home but to sleep since Sunday morning. As soon as I get an answer I'll update. Everyone. Keep this in mind though: very very loud and fairly high in pitch.

    Obnoxiously loud squealing noise

    You're the second person to suggest that to me and I'm going to check it out tonight, although they'd have to be pretty damned long.

    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...

    Hey Guys, Try Again???

    Oh dear God. Seriously brother, the exit strategy comment was referring to the statement about "The future of our country" - it was a joke. Brother, you don't know me. You don't know where I've been, what I've done, what I do, or where I am going. So your criticism rings pretty hollow and...

    Hey Guys, Try Again???

    Years may (sometimes) bring wisdom. But not necessarily knowledge.

    Hey Guys, Try Again???

    Deal with enough people and you may understand it. :-) I won't hijack the thread any further, but I didn't start out with that point of view and to call it disturbingly negative...eh might be going to far.

    Hey Guys, Try Again???

    And people wonder why I'm planning an exit strategy.

    several questions

    Paint won't change the absorption of heat into the metal. HEat will just be stored in the paint itself. You might seen some change but at most it will be negligible.

    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...

    Hey Guys, Try Again???

    My brother is girlfriend-less and yet he took two girls to prom last weekend. I somehow think this was partly to make up for me not going to mine which was mostly a result of the combination of my inability to dance, my not knowing any women who didn't hate me (something that continues to...

    Stolen '90GT

    There are few truly difficult cars to steal. Classics are by far the easiest and what's worse, it doesn't have to be the neighborhood chop shop stealing them either. The VINs on classics are easily frauded out.

    EFI blower conversion done - Off for a Dyno tune now!

    Myself...I ride a motorcycle. no amount of horsepower can be as scary as being on a Harley Sportster with an Excursion riding your ass from 2 ft away at 70mph.
