Ours are on the shelf as a general rule. I expect them to be an inventory item for the forseeable future. All of the feedback I have gotten has...
It's not just Alabama titles - every state I have ever lived in (and I'm betting most, if not all states), require a VIN inspection on anything...
I'm guessing you want to use the HEI style dizzy because you want to eliminate the factory computer. However, I'm betting you can probably use the...
Scored a '62 GMC 3/4 ton about 2 weeks ago. V6 2bbl, 4 speed. Got it to start last night. Needs a master (clutch side is puking) - is there an...
NM MVD is a blessing and a curse. On one hand, no one knows the real rules, and they just get huffy if you show them in writing. On the other...
A few notes... I have sold a few sets of these (the '63-'67 Cadillac Sandersons), with mixed exeriences. Some guys say they fit great, some say...
We have OE style timing chain and gear sets, but that is all that's available. It sounds like you are asking for a gear-to-gear style drive, in...
