I just built a 401 for a '66 Buick Wildcat. It wasn't my favorite motor to build until I drove it for the first time. WOWZA! That thing pulls like...
The one on my A is just a single reservoir. I would try to Google the p/n if I were you.
I had Blaines rebuild a 225 slant 6 for me. They did a good job. I think I'm gonna drop by Days just to see what they have to say. If they can't...
City Motor Supply says they can do the work, but I have my doubts. Any opinions?
Does anyone know of a machine shop that can service the heads on my 401? I took them to Calverts in Denton, but they said they won't fit in their...
It's almost time. See y'all Saturday night! BTW-I drive a dark purple 1998 Dakota R/T with a pretty nasty stroker motor on nitrous.
In about 1979, Hot Rod did a monthly article called "Cruisin USA", which they probably stole from this. They covered a new cruising spot in the...

I remember the Galloway cruise, but I didn't go there very often. If I strayed from Forest, I would cruise Buckner. As for the current situation,...
Mostly Forest Lane in North Dallas, but occasionally Buckner Boulevard in Southeast Dallas. This was in the late 70's to early 80's. At the time I...
Great! I was beginning to think there weren't any cruisers left here! I graduated in 1980, so I cruised Forest a lot from about '78-'82 or so.
If you're from the Dallas area and you remember when we used to cruise Forest Lane, you might be interested to know that there is a reunion cruise...
It ended up that one of the 4 blades on the fan turned loose and hit the hood side panel. Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions.
I didn't try it with the clutch depressed in N, I'll try it and see tomorrow. Thanks!

Oh man, that was great!!
Anyone familiar with the tune?
