Yesterday my buddy ran my car, since I can't shift. I was actually impressed, considering the guy only had about 2 hours of highway driving to get used to the...
I need to drain the gas tank - the car has been sitting entirely too long. But I've never done it before and the factoriy manuals are annoyingly silent on how...
Dennis you don't need to drop the tank to drain it. There are siphoning items available at your local auto parts store that will work. I am not sure of the...
i alway just hook an electric pump (12 v.) to the line at the carb or pump. then just simply pump it dry. add a little moer fuel and do it again. also you can...
Folks, I've had this darn daily driver for over 17 years. Rebuilt a 93 engine 7 years ago and dropped it in. Was thrashing the heck out of it up some moutain...
Dennis sez... ... Along with what John and Mike said, it is easy to drop the tank after you have drained it as much as you can. There are two nuts at the front...
Very impressive Ralph. I can't wait to hear how you like the tranny rebuild and engine overhaul. I hope you are putting in a World class unit and some real ...
Well the 331 is history. Everything was parted out except the Crank, heads and Intake. I bought a dart block and decided to step my program up a little. I had...

Got the carb (Holley 4150 - practically new before it sat too long) torn partly down. The front bowl was empty - no varnish - but the float valve was stuck...

... Very cool!. ... Oh, yeah. Cheap. Any time I can get to that stuff I replace. When I rebuild an engine, all vacuum lines get replaced. I hate it when I...
... Well, this is a good candidate for an overnight soak. That is the best way to clean it up. Then rinse thoroughly and blow out all passsages with compressed...
... Not if it is stuck. Yet, places here - including Autozone - sell Holley gaskets singly. I assemble using Vaseline to try and keep this from happening. I...

... Hehehe... Well, I still want to keep it very streetable. This car has been fun and very reliable for a daily driver, and gets 18-25. I would like to stick...
Ralph if you want streetable but more power I would highly suggest looking into a set of AFR 165's. I hate jumping on the AFR bandwagon like everyone else but...
Hmmm. I deleted this post, yet it shows up in the digest the next day. Anyway, found a drawing of the disconnected unit in a section of the factory manual...

It will be...

That is to funny. I was looking into replacing the stock throttle cable with a Lokar. Jeg's site showed an error, what was the cable model number. I was not to...
When I set up a new cable I have used a piece of 1/8 x 2 steel piece and bent it, drilled the mount holes to mount on the manifold and a hole for the slot then...
