    Replacing rear springs

    it has begun I would have liked to have posted that it is complete..............but.......one spring off is as far as I got over the weekend. Took 4 hours: getting out tools to cleaning up mess. I can't see the install of the new spring taking more than an hour start to finish. :rolleyes: I...

    Pulling the engine

    take as many digital photos as possible of everything you take off so you will be able to put it all back together again correctly.............. use ziplock baggies for all the nuts/bolts etc and mark them well...........if you pull it with the tranny attached it will make a big mess unless you...

    Burning Out!

    in my opinion, yes, but i guess it depends on where your car starts building torque............that is what i have and it locks up before my engine gets to making much .................... i'm still learning how to smoke them.............:D ...........although from what i've heard, once you...

    MSD ready to Run

    I have one but I never changed any of the springs or bushings. I tried to understand all the timing/power curves that they supplied but for the way I drive I didn't think that I'd see/feel any difference. I figgered that the way it came from the factory was probably how 99% of them get...

    Replacing rear springs

    yea, I figgered that I might have to get out the sawzall or something if they were rusted too bad. Now, I have another question. The reason I am doing this is because my drivers side rear end sags and at the tire it is about 1-1/4 " lower than the passanger side. I have already lowered the...

    checking the vaccum

    you could still be 180 off, there is compression on both strokes..........on the compression stroke it is much greater..........i used my finger in the plug hole to tell the difference :p kinda scary at first, and make sure that the coil wire is disconnected also, this is one of the best...

    Firing problems on my 302.

    if you have a timing light on it and give it gas, you will see the timing mark move as the distributor advances as in back-firing thru the carb?? same question as above........ since you were inside the motor, are you sure everything was put back together correctly, especially the...

    checking the vaccum

    if you leave the all the plugs in, but pull a wire off one of them.............how much distance from the plug will the spark travel ???? it should be a real strong spark and snap pretty loud, and travel at least a quarter inch.......... fuel, spark, timing............there is nothing...
