    A post a day......

    working on my garage project, i was ripping a thin piece of wood and nicked my thumb with the table saw. luckily, it was not anywhere near as bad as it could have been. i still spent a couple hours at the ER though. i am one of those guys who USED TO say, "it won't happen to me, i can take...

    $1500 enough to swap to carb and T5?

    383, last i checked, the manual valve bodies for AODs were really expensive, like in the $500 range. where did you get yours, and what did it run you?

    $1500 enough to swap to carb and T5?

    a couple thoughts ... - any worries about emissions? - you can get some pretty decent money for your EFI stuff, especially if it is aftermarket stuff - an engine bay is very clean with all that EFI stuff out of there - i have an autolite 4100 carb sitting on my shelf, i am 1/2 through a...

    Garage workshop setup

    I started in earnest a few days ago. I only have few hours in the evenings becasue the bedroom where my wife sleeps is directly above the garage, so I have to stop when my wife goes to bed. :mad: That, and the fact that I am new to this type of carpentry stuff, I tend to over-engineer things...

    Garage workshop setup

    thanks! my garage is not, and probably will never be, wholly dedicated to automobile related stuff. it if was, it is big enough that it would be mostly empty. this whole project is getting me interested in woodworking and carpentry. the options are only limited by your imagination. but i...

    Garage workshop setup

    Here is a rendering of the first 2 holders I have made: the top one is to hold my pencil and tape measure, the lower one is for the quick change bits for my drill/driver. They all have 1/4" shafts, so a 5/16" hole holds them all ... Here is another holder the guy who wrote the article has...

    Planning My Rebuild

    for a hot 347, 185s should be perfectly adequate. i have 205s on my 410, and that is what my engine builder (who has built thousands of racing engines) recommended for mine. if you don't want to change hoods, you should be careful about the rockers you choose. if you get rockers that require...

    Anything wrong with this vac setup?

    IIRC, a stock setup also has a breather in the valve cover to the air intake after the MAF. It has been so long though that I may be not remembering correctly. You could clamp the hose off to see if it changes anything, but I doubt it will. Comments/Questions: - Surging is pretty common...

    A post a day......

    I've been killing myself lately working on this garage re-organization thing. I am excited about it, but not getting enough sleep because of it. And I keep screwing up because I get myself turned around and end up doing things in the wrong order or somethng and then I have to backtrack and try...
