    I used to live off Sprinkle Rd but I moved back here 10 years ago. I graduated from Mattawan 20 years ago........:rolleyes: I used to have a "test and tune" area out by the plastic factorys. When spring comes I'll have to come check out your ride. Do you know of any places out by you that...

    Sport seat conversion

    I've been trying to decide on doing this also. The back seat in my car was just redone recently and I need to do the fronts. If I buy the sport seat kit I'll have to redo the back seat again since the kit is a 67style. I'd like to know how comfortable the kit is after it is installed. If...

    17x8 wheels up front??

    I drew a stick figure with your name on it and I just finished urinating on it.......:D You have no idea how long I spent trying to fit a 255 45 17 under the back of a 66 coupe. Whata pain in the ass. I'd like to travel back 40 years or so and kick someone in the balls.:rlaugh:

    Help, hood problem

    I got tought the "push and pull" method when I was young. Push the hood closed with both hands and then pull up to make sure it latches. It seems a little unnatural at first, if you are a "hood slammer".

    17x8 wheels up front??

    I have 17x8's on a 66 coupe. I'm using an opentracker upper with the 1.75 arm drop. I'm using 225's on the front. I have 1/4" between the rim and uca so 4.75bs is max with my setup. On the outside I have plenty of room with a 225. I'll run a 245-40-17 next time without an issue or a fender...

    Grab-a-track leaf springs

    I'm almost certain this was the case......When he gave me the "softer" speech, I started asking questions. Questions that couldn't get answered. The person I talked to on the phone didn't seem to have alot of automotive knowledge at all. When I asked if there was some one that could answer my...

    Grab-a-track leaf springs

    Here is the page if someone wants to look.http://www.flex-a-form.com/products.asp The person I spoke to told me that the standard spring came in a 205lbs spring rate. I thought that it was going to be too stiff for the street. That's when he told me that the glass and steel rates were...

    I actually bought a set of Maiers 165lbs steel race springs. I'm pleased as punch with them. The car handels great. The ride is firm, but not harsh and best of all no more wheel hop.

    Traction

    I used the comp engineering traction bars for years and liked them. Recently I changed my suspension to more of a cornering car than drag car. I pulled off the traction bars and swapped to a set of Maiers leaf springs and they solved my wheel hop issues. The car handels great and has no...

    Grab-a-track leaf springs

    Please have them post here I'd love to talk to one of them. Esp. someone using them behind a stick. I have a few questions. It wasn't the weight savings that I walked away from them..... it was the $700 price tag. They may be worth it, but I can't find anyone to atest to it. Spending that...

    Grab-a-track leaf springs

    We've done a couple of threads on them over the last few years but no one has really bought a set a given us a "2 thumbs up" on them. I almost bought a set last year until I spoke to a rep from flex a forms. He told me that they would not solve any wheel hop issues and the spring needed to be...

    Need Coil Spring Info

    I have the progressive springs on the front of my 66. I love the spring rate, but after lightening the front of my car they also made the front a little too high. I cut mine to get the stance I wanted. Saying that........ with these springs I cut 1/3 of a coil and it dropped the nose...

    rear springs bushing removal????

    My local shop quit doing it for me, so I went home to do it myself. The best way I came up with was to spray the bushing with wd-40 between the loop and the bushing, put a punch in the bolt hole and it came out by beating the punch with a 5lbs hammer. Takes 4 to 5 good swings.:nice:

    Purpose of Steam Holes?

    I feel like I'm your follow up show.....:D At the time I was using a 72 302 block and a 69 351w head. The 351w head did not have the steam holes. Finding the location to drill the head was easy. My new set of 302 head gaskets had a hole in them. Mark it with a sharpie and drill.

    I want anyone's opinion of Delta Current Control.

    This is what I'm installing in the spring, since I have dual fans and they surge BIG TIME when they both fire up. http://www.streetortrack.com/Spal-Electronic-Fan-Controller-pr-20794.html I don't like my radiator probe either, so this inline temp sensor will go with it...
