    WHAT OTHER CD CHANGERS WORK WITH CUSTOM AUTOSOUND RADIOS 8 PIN DIN CONNECTORS?

    The only thing I use my USA6 for at present is to send the "blue wire" turn on signal to the amps in the trunk. I took the line level cable that used to run from the USA6 to these amps and plugged it into an 80 GB iPod, giving me 700 CDs/8700 songs on tap. I believe that I might have the only...

    WHAT OTHER CD CHANGERS WORK WITH CUSTOM AUTOSOUND RADIOS 8 PIN DIN CONNECTORS?

    Bless you ARPM. I have a USA6 and 6-CD changer. Ever since a rainstorm two years ago, which included water intrusion into the under-dash area of my '65, the trunk-mounted changer has refused to power up. The problem is, it was holding a cartridge with 6 of my most favorite-est CD's of all...

    How does the Dart Sportsman compare to the new FRPP "Boss 302" block, other than not having a bogus name? $1733 at Summit: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=FMS%2DM6010BOSS302&autoview=sku

    351C carb size

    Yeah, I would say try to tune the 750. That's not too big for a 351C-4v. BTW, howcome I can't drag and drop the skivvies OFF the Zwinky? Oh, and now you're going to tell me you didn't try.

    How do I straighten my steering wheel?

    Here's the method I used when I put on some Baer Tracker bump steer eliminators; it made me feel like a real techie guy and I didn't have to go the alignment shop at all: 1. Rotate steering wheel to full lock, then crank it to the opposite full lock, counting the revolutions. Divide by two...

    Need 351C stroker advice

    My reference is to the fact that there are purists who will jump on you for saying "400M"; they prefer just plain "400." That's all. As far as the worthiness of the Ford 400, I want to be the first to predict that the Ford 400 will win the 2007 Engine Masters Competition. As I...

    Need 351C stroker advice

    I have a mental picture of going into the local Kragen's for something for this combo and watching the poor counter monkey go into brain lock muttering "Make/model/year" in infinite loop. BTW, that "400M" reference is fightin words in some quarters.

    Need 351C stroker advice

    Stock 4v heads on an M code '70 would be closed chamber. I believe the stock compression ratio is 10.7:1, but I've also seen 11:1 as the correct number. When you add displacement via a stroker crank, CR will go through the roof unless you use dish pistons. If you do that, you may regret it...

    Worth it? $3K for STS remote turbo universal kit

    For $3K you get this: No exhaust, no intake ducts. STS's claim to fame is an electric pump that returns engine oil back to the engine; they use engine oil pressure to get it back to the turbo. They also claim a "40% intercooler" effect, due to the intake ducting. Here's a pic of an...

    69 302 Boss block

    Good news: Edelbrock is coming out with Clevor intakes sometime in '07. There's a link to an '07 products preview pdf on the ebok home page, which includes a blurb about the Clevor intakes but no pix. The plan is one model for the 8.2" block and one for the 9.5". They'll have the coolant...

    Is this what I think it is???

    I read the linked thread and it does not mention a Year One Camaro. It does mention the Camaro vert that Lou and Jared -- the original hosts of the show -- built on the Spike TV Muscle Car show. I really disagreed with their approach, which was to make the skin perfect. This meant using a...

    Recommendations for '65 steering wheel

    Thanks Tim. $208 from Grant, and it looks like it includes the trim ring around the center: That looks nice. I've got a tough choice now, but I really appreciate the input you can get out of a forum like this.

    Recommendations for '65 steering wheel

    Tim65GT: I believe the stock wheel in a '65-'66 is 16". Regarding steering effort, I just added a set of Opentracker roller spring perches and a Baer bump steer kit to my kids' '65. I don't know which is responsible, or if both contribute something, but the steering effort is way down. It's...

    dark horse performance....... opinnions?

    There's two Dark Horses I know of: Dark Horse Racing http://www.darkhorseracing.net/ and Dark Horse Performance http://www.darkhorseperformance.com/. I bought a McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing kit from Dark Horse Performance. The slave cylinder leaked from the gun. I believe the cause...

    Recommendations for '65 steering wheel

    I put one of these -- Grant model 968, 15" diameter -- on my kids' '65: It tore up the turn signal cam, so I took it out and put the OE 3-spoke back in. I'm not liking the skinny large diameter wheel at all. So what fat-rimmed wheels are people running that do not destroy the turn...

    In the polished five spoke category like the Cragar S/S, also look at the Boyd Cast Smoothie: or Smoothie II: or Junkyard Dog: the Halibrand: or the Foose Nitrous II: Anything but another gd musclecar with TT II's!!!

    Disc Brake recommendations for '65 cruiser

    Wow, that's a deal for $545: That includes new spindles, something I haven't seen in any other kit. Ahh, but the calipers aren't red. :(

    Will this fit under a flat hood? (Is that a stupid question?)
