The Jalopy Journal
The Qjet is arguably the most sophisticated 4bbl ever made. People who crap on them typically don't have the patience or skill to adjust them...
I had a Rover 4.6 short block shipped from CA to VA. The seller build a wooden crate and it went by Forward Air. No problems at all.
Be aware that most of these shops charge well into four figures for gauge repair, restoration, and conversion. Not saying that the price is not...
There is no such thing as a factory "one wire" alternator. There's a reason why GM used 3 wires, especially since they will usually try to save...
I've done it both ways with no problems either way. The trick to cutting springs with a torch is to submerge the spring in a bucket of water so...
Why, oh why won't this myth die? :rolleyes: Not only are nearly all automotive frames made of mild steel, but even medium duty trucks (up to...
Like a tool made for exactly that job... [IMG]
I'm guessing the fact that this was an ON-ON style switch (without a center OFF position) makes it seem like a "single throw" switch. Anyway,...
Am I missing something, or is this just a common double-pole, double-throw switch? You want the kind that's ON-ON, not the ON-OFF-ON style that...
The "stem" is the pin that locks the steering wheel. It's attached to the geared rack that the lock cylinder moves up and down the steering...
Once again, you DO NOT need to turn the key to any position to remove the lock cylinder from a GM column. I have personally done it on many cars...
Just to get this thread back on topic and to correct some mis-information... The GM intermediates used the same frames from 1964-1967. All are...
Everything you ever wanted to know about GM keys (just ignore the fact that the website says "Camaro"): http://www.camaros.org/keysandlocks.shtml
That's a great site, thanks. NAPAOnline also had dimensional data for wheel bearings. Look up by vehicle and the inner and outer bearings have...
VA and NH also.
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner. I had this same problem on the HEI in an OT car. The locking tab had broken off the power connector to the...
Hollanders says they don't fit, but I've found that Hollanders is at best awfully conservative. For example, Hollanders says that only 69-72...
Actually, the even easier way is to keep the stock ignition switch and simply run a new pushbutton switch to activate the V8 starter. In fact,...
You don't need to turn the lock cylinder anywhere. You simply need to depress the spring-loaded tab on the cylinder. As noted, the hole that you...
Performance parts for an ST300? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Good one. The easiest (and cheapest) way to improve the ST300 is to swap in a TH350,...
Are you looking for factory style terminals (Packard 56, Weatherpack, etc) or generic crimp terminals?
As is the case in all states and in federal law. The law always reads something like "odometer tampering WITH THE INTENT TO COMMIT FRAUD"....
Note that if the trans is in other than a 1:1 gear, you need to multiply the trans ratio X the rear end gear ratio. For example, if the OD gear...
In response to the first gas crisis in the 1970s, both Ford and Chrysler modified their existing 4spd manual transmissions to turn them into OD...
Of course, you could also go to the DMV website and read the rules for a Specially Constructed Vehicle: http://dmv.ca.gov/vr/spcnsreg.htm...
Unfortunately, asking prices really don't mean anything. How many times do you see the same car advertised week after week? On-line auctions are...
Actually, they will if you convert to stud-type adjustable rockers and hollow pushrods for oiling. There are kits available to do this. I'm...
Our club runs a show every year. We offer discount for pre-registration. People still line up at the gate to register. We've also found over...
This has been done a lot, particularly by the British car guys who are dropping 215s (and Rover derivatives) into all sorts of small Brit cars....
