    Monte Carlo bar clearance

    The TCP monte carlo brace mounts further forward on the inner fender, is straight, and will clear your distributor.

    subwoofers

    I've had the best success with rear firing/facing subwoofers or if possible position the woofer cone as far away from the listening area as possible, like the quarter panel. This greatly reduces the chances of significant cancellation which leads to potentially large gaps in frequency response...

    Pull transmission without draining fluid?

    We'll I drained it last night and it doesn't look clean enough to go back in so I'll be buying more Penzoil Snychromesh if I can find it. I called three places and nobody stocks it. Just a note to anyone thinking about swapping just a clutch disc thats been slipping for quite some time. Odds...

    Pull transmission without draining fluid?

    I think I'll go ahead and drain it into a clean pan and reuse the fluid. I just did this about a year ago so I'm not too concerned about changing the fluid. It's a 3550 and I'll remove the transmission and then the bellhousing separately. The last two times I did this, I used a small floor...

    Pull transmission without draining fluid?

    I'm swapping out a clutch disc tonight and am trying to save some time and money. Can the transmission can be removed without draining the fluid? Can I just leave the driveshaft yoke in place to stop fluid from pouring out the tailshaft?

    Drilling hole in tie rod

    We do package a set of nyloc nuts with the earlier tie rods for situations such as yours. The later (1970) tie rods we purchase have only a nyloc nut with no cotter pin hole through the stud. bnickle, Good call on the stud possibly spinning during removal. I've seen two types of all metal...

    Drilling hole in tie rod

    The nyloc nuts are packaged with the tie rods from the manufacturer. If you are looking to change the nut I would suggest using an all metal locknut that has one end crimped to oval or triangulate the thread bore. Not sure of the thread pitch off the top of my head.

    roller lifters and solid lifters??

    Hydraulic lifters 'pump up' and maintain their correct valve lash so to speak. Should not be used with high valve spring pressures necessary for high lift, high rpm motors. Solid lifters require the valve lash to be adjusted every so often. Not sure of maintenance intervals. Maybe someone...

    18:1 AFR....and it didnt grenade itself..HELP!!

    An exhaust leak may make the sniffer read a lean condition. The AFR is very steady which leads me to believe that the computer is still making corrections. Is your 76mm MAF calibrated for 19lb injectors? Based on C&L's website you should have a gold sampling tube. If the voltages sent from the...

    Heidt's Rear 4-Link Coil-Over Suspension

    The regular product webpage for the G-Bar & AirBar is on my 'to do' list. But for now this document has some more information that wasn't covered in the catalog. TCP G-Bar Data Sheet (PDF 220KB) I'll have some updated images of the TCP rear coil-over with FAB9 housing ready next week...

    Make your own plug wires ?

    MSD makes a "universal" set that you have to cut to length. The distributor end of the wires are already crimped. I suggest getting the "multi-angle" or posable set.

    Spec I clutch..anybody used???

    I've had my Spec Stage 1 for about a year and it's be a bit slip proned with my combo, especially on warmer days when my tires are stickier (275 Kumho MX's). Additional weight in the back (passengers) will also make it slip. But, it holds most of the time and has been a good clutch for the...

    Wilwood Brakes and TCP Suspension

    As Jay stated, there are no issues with the 71-73 spindles other than the outer tie rod and larger bearing size. If you have a '68-69 disc brake spindle we also have a 'small bearing' version of the 13" zero offset brake kit. If you have to buy spindles go with the later large bearing version...

    bbk t body whistleing: and way to stop it

    My original BBK throttle body whistled up until the throttle blade shaft broke. This was a few years ago and I'm not sure how old the unit was. BBK replaced the entire unit with a different casting that didn't whistle. Call them they may swap it out for you or offer a suggestion on getting rid...

    Aftermarket Front suspension & steering

    Maybe copy was the incorrect word to use. I'll say it was "modeled after" the TCP suspension system that was originally available on their vehicles. Within the last two years TCP/Chassisworks has made changes to the pivot assemblies and overall construction of the lower arm and strut rod as well...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    The car acutally belongs to a gentleman that posts under the name of Preston over at www.corner-carvers.com. It is a very well thought out project with respects to suspension geometry and chassis engineering. It puts over 700hp to the wheels but for some reason I seem to recall him wanting to go...

    Aftermarket Front suspension & steering

    Just to clarify, the UP stuff is a copy of an earlier version of the TCP coil-over. There are some distinct manufacturing, product feature, and geometry differences between the two. TCP Coil-Over Technical Data Sheet 1.87MB
