    Optima battery opinions..

    I was wondering who runs them and whether they like them or not. I've gone through two in the period of four years. Which makes me wonder if they're really all that great. I like the dry cell idea but shouldn't the charge last longer? Which actually makes me wonder if my alternator is the...

    Window crank removal

    So I was going to put new window crank mechanisms in the other day. I Got the "special" flat prying device (it looks pretty universal) to remove the window crank handle. I tried a sliding the thing under a couple stimes while feeling for some kind of groove, notch, or indentation...

    is 600cfm really enough?

    Well, even on Desktop dyno if i bring the cfm to 500cfm, put stock exhaust manifolds on and lower the lift values back down to .498, the estimated values still come to 314hp and 354tq.....so 300hp hurts my feelings :( . But that's ok....and even though the vacuum advance isn't hooked up i still...

    is 600cfm really enough?

    Well according to Holley and scientific carb. calculation pages, 600cfm is suppose to be just about right for me. BUT I can't help but feel like the carburetor is choking some performance. This is my basic setup: 302->306cid JE forged flat tops, 9.25-9.5:1 cr E-303 (1.72 scorpoin...

    one piece oil pan gasket=/

    I put on the fel-pro one piece rubber/metal oil pan gasket. The directions specifically say not to use any additional gasket sealing materials (ie: permatex) to help seal everything. well installation was easy ......i just wish i used the normal gaskets with extra sealant. There's a fine bead of...

    Exhuming a distributor.

    I'm switching out the current distributor for the good ol msd pro billet. The first time i did this 5 years ago (when i just bought the car and was new to motors) was with an original points style distributor. It just wouldn't budge. I ended up bring it to a shop. I was wondering if there are...
