    (Tech) Tell me about camber

    The larger tire/wheel combo shouldn't have any affect on the camber. Just because they're larger, the alignment should still stay within specs. Bumpsteer comes from toe in/out changes as the suspension goes up/down. It may be worth having another shop look at the alignment. If it is toed...

    pics of 4 link thus far

    Pretty much the same theory with ladder bars. The rear end can't be fixed to leaf springs, so if you use leaf springs, you'll need a floater kit for the springs. If coil overs are used, a diagonal link will be required to keep the rear end centered in the chassis, same for 4 link. Rear...

    pics of 4 link thus far

    For a 4 link to work properly the rear end needs to be able to rotate slightly. Are you planning on removing the leaf springs? I assume the bracket with all the holes is for the rear of the axle housing to mount the shocks. Do you have the shock brackets or are you planning on making them...

    Annoying Drag Strip Rules

    Wanta see some rules? Try moving up to super gas or super comp. Restraint system reweb/renew every two years. Chassis certification every 3 years. Flexplate/trans shield every 5 years, unless you happen to grind or drill on it, then its out. And the list goes on. As far as the wheel studs...

    Paint Emergency

    Looks kinda like the paint on my 97 GMC dually. My hood (worst), front fenders and part of the drivers door (slight) has it. Looks like someone took a lot of short hairs and tossed them all over it while the paint was still tacky. Mine started out as just a slight place on the hood that...

    *(&*&%#(#@ (don't do this!)

    I've always gone by the reasoning, assembly lube is just that. I've always primed any new motor and just about everyone i know does the same thing, even if assembly lube was used. Majority of the time we never use assembly lube on the race motor. Just the good ole Kendall 50w, which is...

    50s song stuck in my head....help

    Ritchie Valens may have played it, but it was originally done by Johnny Farina of Santo and Johnny. The Ventures did release a version of it also.

    302 Question-72 and 78 Blocks=same?

    D.Hearne Thats the block i have in my coupe, D8VE. Its already .030 over and i'm considering going .060. I've also been told it will run hot if i go .060 over. Is this true? If so, maybe i'll just leave it at .030 since there's not much of a lip at the top, so a good hone should clean it up...

    how do I get my center section out of my 9"

    There may also be copper washer under the nuts on the center section. They can be a real pain to get off. Have a good drain pan underneath to catch all the smelly stuff also. Its heavy, so watch out when it does come out. If you don't have a slide hammer, turn the drum around, slide it on...

    overheating on freeway?

    I'd say, make sure the thermostat is closing as it should. If it stays open all the time, at highway speeds (higher rpm) the coolant won't stay in the radiator long enough to cool down. One other thing, it's probably ok, but make sure the fan is on correctly. I bought a truck once and it was...

    How Do You Remove The Remove Rear Hub

    It may help to stop by the parts store and get some penetrating oil to loosen the rust. Let it sit for awhile, then pull on the drum while tapping the outside edge with the hammer.

    Transmission fluid fittings

    The ones that i just put in mine were 1/8" pipe(male) to 5/16 for the line(female). I used a 90 degree in the rear port and a straight one in the front. I didn't use the SS but the normal steel lines, but the SS should be the same thread size.

    Hey Billy

    I'm not Billy, but the 4000 stall converter should act "almost" like a regular converter during normal driving. You may notice a slight increase in rpm as you start to accelerate. The stall really doesn't start until you hold the brakes and mash the accelerator. Depending on how good your...

    DeVILBISS Gravity Feed HVLP Spray Gun

    Took the words right outta my mouth TurboDoctor. I did the same thing with the regular spray guns. I got a cheapo for primer and a good one for finish coat.

    DeVILBISS Gravity Feed HVLP Spray Gun

    I think it should work great. I just bought the Devilbis Finishline 3, but haven't used it yet. I also have a cheapo from harbor freight and it works good, so the Devilbis should be a lot better. I also bought a 2 piece gun holder that can be bolted to the bench and it has a loop on top to...

    shock mount plates for 67 up with 9" rear

    Have you thought drilling the current plates to fit the 3" axle tube which what i assume you have instead of the tapered axle tubes?

    "valet switch" on a keyless entry system

    On one of my cars, the "valet switch" disabled the passive arming of the system. It was a toggle switch and depending on the number of times flipped, it would set different items for the alarm also. The "red button" on my GMC truck turns the alarm off.

    Pros/Cons of 4/3 link or ladder bars

    Back halve the car and go with ladder bars and coil over setup. Much easier adjustment than a 4 link. The 4 link works best in a full tube chassis all out race car with limited front end travel. If you're not going to back halve it, go with cal tracs. When welding the brackets on the rear...

    roll bar

    Here's your typical roll cage. roll cage That doesn't sound like a good idea for the side bars, plus they would be the possibility they wouldn't pass tech at a dragstrip.
