I bought a pretty nice Mallory dual point #2548201 for Chevy at a swap meet many years ago. Was thinking I'd use it on a 327 that I was building....
How about vendors who determine shipping cost based on the total order amount instead of weight? So a lightweight $100 item will cost a lot more...

Oh crap! I just now saw the date.
Somewhere on the Internet a while back, a Holley engineer said if you can hear the secondaries open, what you're actually hearing in a lean bog....
I don't know why we have essentially standardized on Phillips head screws. When I used to work on electronic test equipment, Hewlett Packard was...
The Texas DMV can call the cars anything they want, because my registration fee is only around $50 every five years. And I don't need to get...
Had a friend in the Navy who bought a brand new 67 Buick Electra 225 4-door with his re-enlistment bonus. Being a fledgling drag racer and muscle...
Cool stories! I’m really likin’ Junji’s 348 Impala with 4.56 gears. I suspect it didn’t see a lot of highway driving. In the late 60s I had a...
Thanks for bringing up "The World's Fastest Indian". It's been years since I've seen it, so maybe I can find it on Netflix or some other...
Thanks for reminding me how old I am! I watched it when I was in the U.S. Navy at, of all places, a missile test facility near Las Cruces, NM....
I actually ended up using a 60 amp mega fuse instead of fusible link to protect the 8 ga wire. It's mounted on the inside fender lip next to the...
I've been off and on The H.A.M.B. for several years, but now plan to spend a lot more time here. Hotrodders.com has just recently gone crazy with...

Just wanted to add that the Performer EPS manifold should not cause you any throttle response problems, unless there's a vacuum leak somewhere....
I remember this thread from years ago, but just now ran into it again. I share Crazy Steve's idea about larger gauge wires. I think the fuse...

Decided to use #8 wire for the charging circuit. It will be routed from the battery to a distribution block. From there, a #8 wire goes to the...
Seems to me that if #12 wires for charging and panel feed worked fine for all these years, then #10 should be an extra margin of safety. The...
Thanks for all the responses! The Chevy pickup on which I'm installing the AAW harness has worked just fine for 54 years with its original #12...
But a 175 amp fuse is not going to protect the 10 gauge main panel feed wire. Seems like a 30-40 amp fuse would be better for that, or even a #14...
The latest American Autowire kits include their #510476 "Alternator and Main Power Connection Kit" which is composed of 25ft of 6 gauge SGX wire,...
As always, be sure to do some test crimps! The dual crimps dies are slightly different in size, the insulation side of the die being slightly...
Great post! Thanks for all the information. For Delphi 56 terminals used by GM, these crimpers work pretty well at crimping the stripped wire and...
Thanks for the comments.
I agree that the car's style is a factor. I put a 2x4 setup on a 350 in a friend's 37 Chevy. Carbs are Edelbrock 500 cfm models. Progressive...
Are there any off the shelf TBI tanks that will fit a 37 Chevy sedan? I've heard that an S-10 blazer tank is somewhat universal. We want to come...
I agree. Kind of like a car show where more than half the cars are red. The 55 Chev sedan I recently sold had a not-so-mainstream 327 with...
There's the lowly 305 and then there's this 305! Sounds like a great engine.
"The association of Chevrolet with hot rods, speed, and such is probably inadmissible, but possibly the existence of the Corvette provides the...
