    Will sawzall go through tailpipes?

    I wnat to cut my pipes just behind the mufflers (putting on dumps) but have no cutting wheel or rotary tools- will my sawzall cut through these pipes? It seems like it will, but I just want to be sure before I leap into this. Thanks for any info.

    Valve cover gasket Q

    I'm sure you'll get more replies on this, but it's a pretty easy job- just make sure you use quality gaskets (fel pro, etc.)- I think you can reuse the upper intake gasket if it's not in bad shape, but I would get a new one just to be safe. I asked the same questions a couple years ago about...

    What color are Design Concept hoods new?

    Looking to get one of these hoods, a 4 inch cowl, and I was just wondering what color the plain gel coat is- my car is white and I won't be painting the hood until i decide what color I want to paint the car. Hopefully the plain hood is close to white. thanks for any info.

    Where would this coolant be comming from...

    Check that t-stat housing real good- this happened to me too, and the puddle was on both sides. Sometimes the coolant will travel around a bit, and it will dry when the engine gets hot too, so it's tough to pinpoint the source- I would replace the t-stat gasket just to eliminate that...

    How do I put my old steering wheel back on?

    I swapped my stock wheel for a Grant wheel, but now I want to put the stocker back on- has anyone put a wheel on then switched back to stock? If so, do I only have to use the one big bolt again for the stocker? The car is an 88. The Grant wheel had an extra hub with 3 smaller bolts that lined up...

    Anyone know where I can get the little red plugs for Weld rims?

    http://store.summitracing.com/product.asp?d=17&s=288&p=2389&searchtype=ecat Hopefully this link works, but if not, Summit has them under "wheel accessories and wheel covers", Mr Gasket makes them. I found the red plugs too, thanks to cevtv.

    Anyone know where I can get the little red plugs for Weld rims?

    I ordered some from Summit, but they were way too big- I think they are for a truck rim (11/16"). Anyone know where I can get the ones that fit Weld Draglites? (I checked the Weld web site, no mention of them at all.) Thanks for any info.

    Those with Main Support Girdles COME IN

    I got one last year during the build, and it was a Trick Flow model- the only problem was I got the real big one (an inch I think) and machine work was needed for it to fit, so I sent it back and got the Trick Flow 3/8" one. Haven't sprayed yet, but the guys who built my engine said it was a...

    Question for anyone with a Performance Auto C-4!!

    Just wondering if they come with a pan and dipstick-fill tube... I will be ordering soon and I wanted to know if I have to get those things separately. I'm getting it from JD's Performance, but can't get a hold of anyone there until tomorrow. Thanks for any info.

    help quick w/ h-pipe!!!!

    Mine didn't have the smog tube, but I remember reading in here once that it is possible to crimp it together or weld it shut? Not sure how to do that, but it seems possible.

    Can I manually shift a C-4 without aftermarket valve body?

    Thanks for the replies. CHarris- Along with the Perf Auto C-4, I'm getting a tci converter, a deep pan from Perf Auto, and a Hurst quarter stick pistol grip shifter (I already have a B&M cooler). I was wondering about the shifting ease after I read an ad for a manual valve body for the C-4...

    lost oil pressure

    Yeah, that's the first thing I'd check, if you have an aftermarket gauge check the lines and sender. Mine popped off shortly after I installed it (the white plastic line from the gauge to the sender).

    Can I manually shift a C-4 without aftermarket valve body?

    I was wondering if I can shift a C-4 through the gears myself, or does it have to come with a special valve body for this to happen? I know the aod shift points are pre-determined on my car now, but how does putting in a C-4 change them? Thanks for any advice.

    How do I get bronze fittings off tranny cooler lines (at the tranny)?

    In case anyone else runs into this in a search, I fixed the problem with a ford disconnect tool and 2 new bronze colored fittings that have a little plastic clip in them. They were a beeotch to get off, but once I did and got the new ones on, no more leak.

    How do I get bronze fittings off tranny cooler lines (at the tranny)?

    Got a leak, and I can't get the fitting off the line that goes into the tranny (AOD)- I assume this is a standard fitting, that needs a special tool. I tried prying with a screwdriver, but it will not come off. The fitting moves back and forth a tiny bit, but will not come off. Anyone who has...
