    Power adder(s) on a relatively stock engine

    From your sig, it looks like you have yet to upgrade some components that are way cheaper than any power adder and do give you quite a bit more power. Have you done any work to your heads? If not, i strongly recommend porting, polishing and bigger valves. Matched with a good cam you can be...

    General SBF engine stages?

    I always have thought that the stock "points" ignition was one of the first things to get rid of. Upgrading to electronic igntion backed by a matching coil, was before my intake and exhaust mods. I see it fit to upgrade the stock 2 row immediately because it is one terrible radiator for...

    Starter blew...I need new lol

    My starter blew, it spins with the turn of the key, but doesnt engage the flexplate at all. Upon removal of the inspection plate, there was a nice pile of metal shavings. I was told recently that I should upgrade to a late model starter, for their higher torque capabilties. If so what year...

    testing fuel pressure?

    My vacumm guage came with a vacumm T with barbed ends for fuel pressure testings....Make sure your testing after the pump. Place one end in, one end towards the carb and the other towards the guage. When i did my testing, I ran the car, only because i had to adjust my pressure regulator. With an...

Got to the track and dumped in 3 gallons of 110. First run was depressing with out the nitrous, i ran a 15.114...

    Whats all involved with minitubbing a 65?

    Sorry i never replied to that last thread....but here are pics of my 26x10x15 Mickey Drags. I ran them for the first time last night and there was not rubbing of any sort. If I remember correctly, the backspacing is something like 3.75" and the rear is not narrowed in anyway.

    Rear End Swap

    Springs, Shocks, driveshaft, new u joints, Spring plates, U bolts, brake lines. If your swappin in a 9" rear then your probably going to need a 1330 yoke. Now is the time to get the gears you want, and if your doing it now you might as well swap in the beefier 31 splined axles....but it depends...

    Poll...Help me decide where to put this

    Ok well i purchased a guage panel for my nitrous system, Similiar to the one used in the move Gone in 60....now I like how its mounted on the floor in the movie, but that would require drilling and cutting the floor. My other option that I liked was mounting it behind my B&M megashifter's boot...

    Help me figure out why this 302 wont go!

    Well, if you want to see if your fuel pump is at fault, go buy a fram clear fuel filter, install it where you can see it under the hood and crank the car. if you dont see fuel gushing in then your pump is probably bad. To adjust the floats, it would be alot easier to have fuel in the carb. You...

    question about timing on my 289

    How old is the balancer? when the rubber ring goes bad, they slip and throw off your timing marks. Mike Ps. look at the balancer and see if there are cracks or even chunks missing from the ring.
