Thanks for the reply. I questioned the #10 from the alternator because I was seeing the larger amp alternator kits using #6 and #8 wire from the...
I'm just getting started with my 9+3 kit. I believe that the 10 gauge from the panel to the battery gets the fusible link? What size wire do I...

I appreciate you taking the time to set me straight! I'm not asking how big of fart pipe to put on a Honda. If my post was in the wrong spot in...
WOW! No one? I'll give some feedback on my own post then. Although I have never noticed the wobble before it is/was there. It's hard to imagine...
I have a low runtime whipple 2.3 supercharger. Pulley is wobbling so there is a bearing going south somewhere. My guess is in the snout. I've...
I'm still working on this. THANK YOU all for the information! I think that I will use a switchable breaker for the main power line from the...
Well I emailed Flaming River to see if their one gauge was solid copper. They responded that it was solid copper. It arrived today...4,700 strands...
Reading back through, I did not mention this is a street car so no track rules but I do want to be reasonably safe and not burn it up! I do the...
I think that's where I headed with that. I wasn't sure why the alternator power had to be hot all the time, even with the battery switch in the...
What about the wire from the alt back to the battery. Does it need to go all the way back or can it go to the power block and be on the switched side?
The cable will be about 15'. The motor is a 460 stroker over 500ci at about 11.5. Looks like I'm going to have to return the #2 for a larger size?
Hi all! I trying to get started on mounting the battery to the trunk. Things have gotten a little tight up front and this Optima is pretty heavy...
Does look sharp. What is it?
The car is getting close to final body work and paint. I'm getting a little more heat at the front of my hood than I'd like. The top tank is a bit...
Thanks to everyone that has responded!! So far the ebay scoop seems to be the best reproduction. Not sure about the quality though. The one from...
I'm looking for something along the lines of the '55-57. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount if the quality is there. 10-4 on the "Buyer...
I'm looking for an early T Bird hood scoop for my project. Are there any reproductions or similar aftermarket scoops out there? Thanks!
I just found one of these still running. It has a slight knock but it still builds air PDQ. I have only found a small amount of information on...
WOW! You guys know your stuff!! Thanks for the help!
I'm at the point in my project that I need to weld up a bunch of holes that will no longer be needed. What is the best way to make plugs for the...
I'm new to the world of aluminum rads and need to have one modified for my build. Before calling around and sounding like I don't know anything...
Well, that is about what I have. I got 61.5 on mine. About 1/4 inch keeps coming up but I'm not sure how its making the difference that I'm...
I have determined where the absolute center of the car is. My B posts are within 1/8 inch. Pretty close. What I don't know is where they should...
Wow, Just skimmed your build. You sure have nerve...and skill," well beyond those of mortal men"!! Sorry, I watch/listen to the old superman...
Reading your description of the rocker problem, just on the surface it sounds like the B pillars are too wide with the passenger side being...
I took one but it didn't show up well. Got to get this figured out though.
That angle is very helpful. Tomorrow I'll post a picture of my car's side for you to look at and compare to yours. That might help determine if my...
