    Quick help.. harmonic balancer retaining bolt.. how to get off?

    What Rick said, but if for some reason that thing is just so tight take your breaker bar and put it down towards the driveway and just bump the starter. Its a good idea tohave a friend to help either bump the starter or hold the scocket on the bolt (you can use a long screwdriver to push...

    UPR Alum rear control arms

    Do the uppers first remember to leave bolts loose until theyre all in and the axle is in ride position. When you do the lowers the spring is in compression so be very careful. Ive always left the shocks hooked up as that gives a limit on how far the axle will go down. Have the jack stands...

    Trick Flow H/C/I installed- now idle problems!

    This is the standard idle prob with cam. I did the idle adjust with IAC unhook and set idle to 900 w/ my combo. Had to turn the base screw up so far that I had to make the slots on TPS longer to get right voltage. I eded up get the idle adjust plate (got mine from 50resto) and redid the whole...

    UPR Alum rear control arms

    It not to big of a deal. Make sure to support car from frame and that way you can jack the rear up or down. Unhook your muffler from h or x pipe (which ever one you have) so you can get to the front lower bolts. I find it easier to do one at a time. You have to have the axle all the way down...

    Looking at new hd gaskets. Need advice

    If I would have looked at sig I would have realized that your running roots type blower. the carb doesnt need ref. because it is before the blower it sees the actual presure drop. The way youre describing plugs it is definitely running lean. Id go up at least 2 jet sizes all the way around...

    Looking at new hd gaskets. Need advice

    Sounds like its running lean. How do the plugs look?, What is fuel pressure? You do have some kind of pressure increase system right? Probably would be good idea to have car dynod with A/F meter. If everthing is good in fuel system you may need to pull heads and have the m oringed and use Fel...

    Question regarding timing cover

    The metal plate that goes on the WP actually seals the pump itself. the only area the cover sees water is at the opening on the sides. the little notch is there just incase there is a leak at the gasket the coolant can excape.

    Opinions on parts needed please.

    If youre staying stock heads Id just go 1.7s. Wait until you either have the heads ported or go aftermarket to change cam. Cam companies; Comp, Crane, Crower, FTI all have a stick that will do a good job. Call their tech guy and tell them what you got. Ive got B-1.7s. Pulls strong, but I...

    I got some 68 302 heads will they work?

    If its got 184s who ever ported them put bigger valves in also. If I remember correctly the 68 - 74 302 heads were 68cc - 72cc chambers and E7s are 64cc so youll lose comprresion. If its a good porting job you could have them milled
