    Where does the radio actually ground?

    I looked at some diagrams and can't figure out which ground is actually for the radio. I am trying to see if I am having a ground issue with the dash. I am having the standard "temp gauge moves with lights turning on" issue, but it ONLY happens with the lights and no other electrical load...

    Anybody buy these yet?

    Those look like the kind 50resto sells. If so, the center console pad is OK, fits well, looks good. Can't say I liked the door arm rest pads. They don't have the molded screw mounts like the stock ones do. They are formed with a thin sheet of metal just under the bottom and you use self...

    Do dumps give you more horesepower?

    I don't know if this helps... I had Flowmasters with pipes, then switched to Dynomax Super Turbos with dumps. I ran the exact same times, 13.2 @ 102. So I would vote that no, there is no significant increase in power with dumps vs tails. Same difference.

    Rear disc/axle question

    As long as they are the correct length for rear disk. If they are 31 spline axles for drums...then no.

    Starter soleniod??

    Chevy uses a nice junction block on some of their cars. It is a red, covered, two stud block, with a flip open top. Looks very clean.

    well its time for a rebuild... :( / :)

    Hopefully this is a lesson learned.....but seeing as you obviously did something else stupid in the past to lose your license, I am not optimistic. Good luck, glad you came out of it all right.

    Which head bolts enter a water passage?

    I have to disagree, TTY bolts don't need to be replaced if you never started the motor. The flex issue the bolts go through is due to heating and cooling. If you never started the motor, you can remove them and retourque them with no problems. I know engine builders who told me that when I...

    first time doing headers

    Yea, if you need any of the slip on locks, I am sure I still have a few floating around my driveway...possibly a few on the road between my house and work. :D

    Fuel cutoff switch - Whats the best/easiest way?

    Wouldn't a failure in that splice also stop power to the coil while driving? I'm sure it would be safe, but I am just leery of screwing around with anything that is vital to vehicle operation while the motor is running.

    Fuel cutoff switch - Whats the best/easiest way?

    Personally, I wouldn't use the fuel pump as a theft device. Granted it is a VERY slim chance, but what if a connection you make becomes loose or the switch you use fails when driving? In my opinion, the best way to make a kill switch is by splicing into the constant 12v to ignition switch and...

    Why would you take pictures here!?

    Yea, they gave us hockey.....and I will be forever grateful. Technically speaking, we stole hockey....but nonetheless.

    Rear tire size clearance question.

    Fitment is going to depend on the offset of the rims. The 275/40/17s will fit on your rim just fine, but where and if they rub is all up to the rims. I have no problems with mine rubbing the fenders, but I have stock drum axles, so the rims sit in closer to the quads...which are flipped and I...

    Strange Engineering struts/shocks

    That's the great thing about them, you can use them for street, strip, or even open road if you desire. I have the rears, and LOVE them. At the track I was able to dial them in to get my car to squat dead even, instead of the typical passengers side dip I would get prior to having the...

    first time doing headers

    The wires must be moved....but you can unhook them from the plugs and lay the spider web out of the way, one side at a time and leave the dizzy cap on. You should remove the plugs, as they can interfere with the headers and like mentioned above...you run the risk of breaking them.

    what oil to use??

    Motorcraft. Most oils are synthetic blend nowadays....but I don't personally buy into the whole synthetic thing.

    Who is Procomp?

    Oh...I just realized that I never answered your question. I just told you a useless story. Sorry about that.
