    Vacuum advance or mechanical advance

    the msd book shows the different graphs, there is an advance stop bushing to play with too. the main diff from what i understand is mech gives better tuneability and worse mileage. the 2 silver heavy (out of box) give the slowest advance curve, then there is the advance stop bushing to play with...

    Opinions wanted: a good price for a 69 parts car

    sounds as if you should be using the inital car for parts on the second one.lol. R titles dont mean much on the coupes as far as value and could have been just lost title or out of state sales on vintage cars (not sure though, no expert, differs state to state and wording on the titles). slap...

    security for your daily driver

    I see 2 locking shifter handles being used. How is the quality on those, i think there is only one vendor right now? The thing I like the best about those is it keeps a kid from moving the shifter and rolling down the road in the antique he/she was curious to check out. A chain thru the...

    DIY Painting Opinions Wanted

    I would try to do the body work myself and work with a paint shop for final coats, thats just me though. I dont have a good size garage or paint booth or heat lamps. If the prep was good and all the trim was removed you should be able to get a decent spray job out of maaco. Tools almost always...

    strut rod bushing

    a good inspection of the rod under the stock rubber bushing will tell the tale. i seriously doubt poly bushings caused perfectly good rods to fail. put poly bushings on rotted out rods and failure is sure to happen. if the rods are in good shape go with new bushings (rubber or poly), if the rods...

    AeroStar Drive Shaft Question

    i used aluminum fms on a fox (3.5"dia) but my local shaft shop hooked me up with a moly shaft for street use and "all the race cars" get the moly tube. one dent and a tube is junk. i believe in strength for street use. the areostar is smaller in dia and probably less wall thk than any frrp part...

    Stainless trim spiff-up, anyone?

    watch out for the crisp corners, you dont want to buff off those. tape up the edges and go slow with the rouge. dont let the wheel grab the part and destroy hard to find parts. good luck.

    chasing fuel vapor

    Ill look at the fill tube. I don't understand how it could be a tank vent issue (cap it think), the problem wasn't there for the last couple of years when the mechanical pump was in there. I am running pro classic hose and russel fittings, I pulled the fuse and let it run out of gas hoping it...
