    Temporary solution at best

    You better make damn sure that company isn't importing from china first because that's the new norm, even snap on, on certain tools.... The old you get what you pay went out the window when bean counters and mba's started bleeding everything for profit first.. If I'm buying import stuff I'm...

    Dayum... Make Me an 80mm and 90mm Version --- Why??? :cry:

    Not the filter but the other half of the box feeding it would be my guess, that's easy to check on a positive displacement though, remember old nmra blower class cars using the cowl area to feed blower inlets, its because it showed gains. Your kind of ignoring how anal some of the restoration...

    Dayum... Make Me an 80mm and 90mm Version --- Why??? :cry:

    The opening is 100% on the lid, you could scallop just the inlet section and clear it no problem, getting into the base you would be better off doing a full redesign of the whole airbox, air flow does not like 90* edges. I'd flow the base before anything though. 90mm is over kill for 95% of ppl...

    Any 1 find any decent blackfriday sales for Foxbody or car stuff?

    First, not endorsing Speedmaster just junk I was willing to test out. Rest of my order came in, this stuff was cheap and they have decent prices on BF so I was willing to try some out on my budget 79. Valve covers, came in, they where cheap and good enough for a carb set up to me. everythings...

    Dayum... Make Me an 80mm and 90mm Version --- Why??? :cry:

    ABS-GF or PA-GF Needs a 75k printer since when? you can scan the stock lid, all your changing is the outlet size, anyone printing GF should have at least a cheap scanner and is probably all ready doing way more complicated things. Melt from under hood temps sitting on the fender apron with air...

    Dayum... Make Me an 80mm and 90mm Version --- Why??? :cry:

    Then you shoukd know they actual use 3d printed parts in production all ready? Both polymer and metal. Your talking about an air box lid that sees no real heat, ABS-GF or PA-GF would work fine. The restoration market is what they banked on paying for the molds and making money and that's...

    Staytuned stock bottem end build...

    Tfi or gm hei module. Doesnt matter both will do the same, basic 3 wires hook up firing the coil, that should be basic knowledge to anyone who messed with a simple carb combo, especially to someone like tony? This dude spent years getting paid to advertise for the performance industry on tv...

    Nah that was a new part, then they bought a used one , you can wire a stock tfi with locked timing with just 3 wires if need be. Same deal with hei's or gut and convert a dura spark box with either module if you want keep vaccum or mechanical advance distributor, no real need for aftermarket...

    Old thread but has any 1 tried the knock off 30-0300 gauge kits? I can essentially get one for free, and can get legit bosch O2's, don't really put much faith in it but testing some China stuff it's ranged from being the actual product unbranded to horrible fakes. And since aem is Holley...

    Fox Changed 2.73 ratio to 4.10.....how can I correct speedometer on 1985....EEK removed from car

    Drive gears are only 6 7 or 8 teeth, the gear on the out put shaft on the trans, 18th would be the cable gear. If I remember right, depending on tire size best way to correct for 4.10s is with the black 6tooth drive gear, or deal with it being off and using 23 tooth dodge gears that don't...

    Does anyone else have a combo close to this

    The duration and overlap maybe be an issue for clearance on stock pistons, would have to check it. you can cut the relief in stock pistons If need be. Had similar combo years ago with first gen afr 165's, more lift but way less duration on a stock shortblock with no clearance issues, made over...

    Fox Changed 2.73 ratio to 4.10.....how can I correct speedometer on 1985....EEK removed from car

    Speedo gear on the cable to match the tire size and gearing, think stock 85 t5's had the black 6 tooth drive gear if I remember righf? So basically need to figure out what drive gear is in the trans, tire size, rear gear and use one of the online calculators for the Speedo gear. Or swap to a...

    Plastic would work, as I have a Dorman quick connect kit, I even have the hydraulic crimp tool to make the quick connects on hard lines, but I was just going us AN to quick connect adapters on PTFE lines, with those cheapy China 6 or -8 stock style 86-93 pump hangers and a later tank made to fit...

    market for 2.3L? i wanna sell

    Damn, I wouldn't pay that for a whole 2.3 car, milage or not maybe if the paint and interior was great. Half the milage claims these days are rolled over at min, once odometers. I still see one of my old beater coupes I sold around 2008 getting passed around as a low mileage car because it...
