    WOO HOO, the '73 is getting there...

    As some of you know my car was in a hit and run accident back in May. Well we found a good paint and body man with reasonable prices and we hired him. He has had the car for about a week now and I went down to drop off some parts and got a look at the progress. Well He has straightened out...

    Consequences of exhuast leak?

    I have a leak where the exhuast manifold meets the header. I tightened the bolts but air still comes through you can hear it and feel it with your hand. A guy told me that i should not run the engine like this because it can result in a damaged valve. Is this true? I am going to change the...

    Drag racing question..*

    Its great to here of fellow young classic stangers. Especiallly when they are girls. If its any help, a friend of mine had a '77 Camaro. I killed him in my '73, 302 with a mild street cam. Those 351 clevelands are capable of putting down some serious power. BTW- got any pics?

    72 Bumper on a '73?

    Well I found a guy who has some parts laying around that I may be able to use to get the '73 back on track. He says he has a bumper from a '72. I was wondering if it would still fit because in my catalogs the front bumpers for sale stop at '72. Whats the difference?

    302 and 12 MPG...

    Does seem a little low for the performer setup. When I had that similair setup I was getting about 15-16 but that was alot of hiway miles. Now with the bigger cam and different heads I am geting around 14.5 Oh and c4 with a 3.00 rear gear.

    97 MPH sounds like Mid 14's to me.

    '73 might be down for the count

    No I could not pursue. The radiator got pushed just enough to where the fan got stuck in the lower coil of it. From what I saw it went strait then made a right turn about 1/4 of a mile up the street. The cops didnt get to the scene until like 20 minutes after the incident. I will be make a few...

    '73 might be down for the count

    I was on my way to Palo Alto College for my night class when I noticed the seatbelt was hanging out of the door on the passenger side. So I pull into a deserted parking lot and put it back in. I then turned into a small street. I was waitning at a stop on a street intersecting with a street that...

    Trying to get 300+rwhp....

    Looks like a Mad little 302. Nice setup. If you are completely ripping apart the engine, I would suggest you get some pistons. This will help against losing compression from the bigger chambers on the heads. I am not really biased on Edy vs. Holley, but from what I hear, Edy deos not get out...

    Temp light wont turn off....

    Well I got my car back after the fresh rebuild. One thing that is really starting to annoy me is that even before the rebuild the Temp light was always on, Even now the temp light wont turn off. Is there a swtich or something that may have gotten stuck and causes it to stay on? It's on even when...

    Good to hear you finally solved your dilemma. Youve been struggling with that header mod for quite some time.

    Resto Mod color choice?

    As for your paint process, if you are going to repaint the engine bay anyway, might as well do it with the engine out. Then drop it in. I like the cowl hood Idea. As for your paint, I wouldnt go white with blue stripes, done too much already. The other two sound goo. or maybe black with dark...

    Auto Transmission Question

    I agree the C4 in its stock form can handle about 350 HP easily. If you beef it up it can handle alot more. It is also alot lighter than the FMX or C6 and has less power loss. You can put a shift kit in to make it have nice crisp or hard shifts, or turn it into a full manual. This costs less...
