Brake lights, tail lights and turn signals that refuse to work, but on a rare occasion they do for a few minutes. Suspect a ground issue but it...
Wallace Racing has a good interchange chart that covers this.
Might be a good idea to check the coil wire also, even if it’s new.
Common sense is a wonderful thing.
Very nice! With a 428 I’ll bet that thing scoots!
I’d drive that thing every chance I got, that is a bad mamma jammer!
Without seeing the exact space requirements, what if you machined/built a stepped plug that fits inside the soft plug and then has an additional...
I would agree with those advocating for the shorter rod. With a shorter rod the piston will get yanked down the cylinder faster thereby giving...
Those are good cylinder heads, one of the better casting numbers. They might need slightly dished pistons to run on todays gas though. l If it...
I just bought a set of AC Delco plugs for the 63 GP but after reading through the comments I’m inclined to return them and put in a set of NGK.
I’ve pulled many engines with chains and 3/8” intake bolts w/flat washers going through the last chain link into the bolt holes on the cylinder...
Can’t see everything from the pictures but my main concern would be that any fuel lost from the vent tube would not get splashed or dripped onto...
Glad to hear you’re on the mend. It’s not too often we get a reprieve in this life. Know a guy who drove himself to the hospital thinking he was...
Agree with the others advising for a return line. It’s added work but will help fuel pressure to be more stable. Might make the pump live longer too.
I’ve thought this body style would be perfect for chopping the top, then put a BBC with turbos in the engine bay, and take it to the salt flats to...
RmK57, I did the same on my off topic car when I switched it to E85 over the winter. Which brand of fuel line did you use? I purchased all of my...
Deuces, I saw that same car on Woodward several years ago, a gorgeous car!
34Larry said; balljoint you mention marvel mystery oil ; not to change the subject since I brought it up, but for the longest time I thought of...
One other thing, since my 63 GP sat for 35+ years without running I’ve been adding a pint or so of marvel mystery oil to the tank when I put gas...
I have two Shell stations near me and everything I own runs noticeably better on Shell gas, particularly their 91 grade.
E85 in the off topic car, 91 mixed with avgas in the 63 GP.
No clue who that guy is, but that’s a beautiful car.
In the early nineties I purchased an 1967 Bonneville from a used car lot for $950. It had been owned by an elderly lady and was in great shape...
You might try the 2 3/8 calipers that pprather has suggested, I would think that would help some. Even though a smaller caliper is theoretically...
Pontiac metallic blue. But then you would probably need to put a Pontiac engine in the car, which isn’t a bad idea in itself…
I put an Aeromotive O2 sensor and gauge in my off topic car a couple years ago before I had even fired the new engine.After putting quite a bit of...
I would agree with jagmech, take the appropriate amount of time to look for a reputable machine shop. Careless or rushed machine work can cost you...
I was thinking about this very same subject just the other day. I saw that blue 32 for sale with the Pontiac engine and I debated about selling my...
I’m glad that you and your wife had many good years together, no doubt she is appreciative of you being there for her, even if she can’t express...
PPG makes several fuel tank sealants for aircraft. They work… really well. PR1422 is just one of them, there are many different grades available....
