    Throttle Body Questions (cai, gas pedal, etc.)

    I installed a BBK throttle body on my 2000 GT a couple of weeks ago. Im very pleased. It only takes about 15 minutes and is pretty much common sense installation. There is 2 cables for the throttle. 1 is what holds up the gas pedal and puts the counter weight on it and the other is what...

    Door handle rod

    Im trying to remove the door handles from my 67. I know the rod/clip system is what connects the handles to the latch. But how do you reach the clip to remove the rod from the inside of the door handle? Is there a trick to it? Or do you just find someone with skinny/long arms?

    Why are our cars so slow stock

    Gearing, antique trannies, and crappy tires! Tires are a big part! Back in the muscle car days the Automatic transmission was the way to go because the tires sucked so bad! Thats why there wasnt too many 4 speed cars back then!
