I hear you on that. I don't go to shows anymore either for the same reasons. when I'm out cruising I get asked a lot to bring my car to shows or cruise nights. I always say "no thanks. Don't need my car picked apart". I tell them. I built this car for my enjoyment and those who enjoy seeing it...

I hear that. Just seemed to be the thing every since I was young. must have a muscle car with a 4 speed.

I'm with Rainy day auto. every car show I go to and see a real nice car. I always look to see if it's a manual. almost all the guy's I hang with look for the same thing. unless your into racing the manual is way more fun, but will never match a good auto on the strip.

carter afb comp series. how do I fix lean condition?

thanks everyone. I should have mentioned I did compression test. all cylinders within 2 psi of each other. I am going to work on it today. I am also starting to think valves as I have pretty much replaced all external parts. I also was thinking carb issue but it seems funny that considering I...

please read full post before replying so you don't suggest something already done. since problem started I have replaced. distributor. wires, plugs, cap rotor, coil, ballast. all done twice to ensure not problem. even put old ones back on once. firing order checked many times by me and friends...

if I knew how to PM you I could send you the video I made of fitting the bellhousing. I don't know if it is possible to post a video on here
