    Carb help needed

    Autolite carb correct? Did those have a powervalve in the metering block like a Holley? I can't recall, too many carbs over the years. It sounds to me like it's time for a full rebuild... or a minimum of a float level adjustment. I'd be willing to bet running that rich you either have a bad...

    Carlos your car is incredible, all of you guys are really inspirational to me to get going on my projects and not be afraid to try something different. Excellent job, I just wish I had the skill and patience for such body work tricks!

    Insurance table

    I have haggerty on my wifes 54 Belair. Limited mileage per year, I think 3k or 5k max, and not commuting to work. It has antique plates, so that's a bit different too. Even here in Michigan with our notoriously horrible no fault, I think it costs us like $150 a year. Agreed value at I think...

    oil pump drive shaft question

    I'll be the fourth, and confirm your distributor gear / cam drive metallurgy... if you have a roller cam you need a bronze/brass distributor gear. Also wise to check the wear on the gear after a short time to make sure all is well after a few miles. A friend of mine went through all kinds of...

    What project's are in your future?

    First complete the new custom wood dash for my ski boat, then complete putting the new floor in the ski boat, take the upholstery back to the shop to have it done right this time, wire in the stereo, put down the carpet, build a new base for the engine cover, figure out how to mount the rear...

    any engine gurus out there?

    Javed It may be worth your time to consult the competition cams website or another cam company website and read through their valve setting procedure for solid lifter camshafts. Tightening up the loose ones you found may have solved all your problems already though.

    MediaBlasting

    my friend just had his entire car blasted. if done right, you can get to bare metal everywhere, without warpage, but, it does take talent on the part of the person holding the blasting nozzle. The best way to do it is to get it all to bare metal, then clean with compressed air and / or...

    Great.....

    Man that really stinks. My driver got broken into when I was in college, they stole the stereo that I'd only put in about a month before, but worst of all, they stole my toolbox out of the back full of all the tools I'd put together for years. Then several years later I had built a custom...

    Engine Bulid Recommedations

    the best bang for the buck is a good set of aftermarket heads, with matching intake and cam. I suppose it depends as always on how far you want to tear it down and how much you have in the budget for parts! 70ish 351W 4 barrel heads can be a good old school upgrade to the puny 302 heads...

    what size carb

    I would HIGHLY recomend the edlebrock carburetor, 600cfm. Go ahead and buy the tuning kit with the carb, and follow the instructions. It will be more reliable and consistant than a holley, and will NOT leak, since there are no gaskets below fuel level. They are also not prone to power valve...

    Which is the smart way? Rebuild or crate shortblock?

    I will almost always do my own rebuilds. To me the engine is the heart of the car, and the part of the car that I love to tinker with the most. No one loves your car as much as you do, and no one will spend the time and attention to detail on your engine that you will. If you don't have...

    Kick panel speakers

    Ideally you'd use those over some kind of wedge to angle the speaker up and out toward the center of the car... .otherwise, you're wasting that sound on your ankles...

    Pertronix Ignitor II Install Question

    are you still running a resistor / wire between your ignition switch and coil? As I recall, you have to remove that resistance and feed the pertronix the full 12V. I think it's also a good idea to update your coil and get rid of the old coil for points.

    70NE's custom EFI conversion writeup - Part 4

    Ditto the above, way cool, and thanks for sharing. Does Mega squirt make a set up for port injection or only throttle body?

    Pics of '69 Convertible

    Very nice. It seems there are very few 69-70 convertibles around. Does anyone know the production number comparisons for these years compared to the earlier models? How are parts for these cars to come by? I really like your collection. I have a '69 fastback but it's really a drag...

    Body work for 2,000 dollars????

    $2000 would be a good deal for you if you don't have the time or space or machines to do it yourself. This is assuming (and you know what that can get you) that this person does quality work. Have you seen any welding / body work this person has completed? If you do decide to go this...

    classic rims

    I'll second that.... holy cow. I guess I"d better dust mine off, dismount the tires and get them ready to sell. Is this a new "retro" movement or what? $100 each? whoa.
