Hey guys, been a LONG time since I've been on here, but need to get comfortable with my car again. I had my car worked on a year or so ago, and had a couple issues when I last got it out, and hate to say it but it's been sitting in the garage for too long now. Initially taking her out, I ran...

every time I take it out for a drive theres a spot in the driveway right where the transmission drain hole is, i changed the oil last year and put that bolt in tight and used plumbing tape on the threads. its an old 4 speed, the one without the sliding yoke, dont know if that makes a difference...

From all that I can make out, Im pretty sure I have an exhaust leak. Would an exaust leak next to the spark plugs cause performance problems? I originally thought that while driving that it wasn't firing off of a cylinder and I got a Compression test kit (But i haven't gotten around to checking...

OK, so i rewired my alternator strait to the battery, not thinking it was going to be energized the whole time, and the battery was dead today. but after i disconnected the alternator from the terminal and took the battery out to charge it, i checked the resistance between the positive wire and...

I have a problem, i think its the wires from the connector to the ignition switch, at least i hope it is, because i cant tear apart the dash with confidence lol. but does anyone know where i can get one of these harness? whats happening is the car will start and when its in the start position...

So I don't know what happened. but i drove my car for about a week. let it sit, and a week later the battery was dead. jumped it and let it run and took it around the block. had to park it on the street for 2 days, went to start it today and it was dead again. don't know what happened, but...

So out of nowhere, there is a knocking coming from the front right suspension(Im assuming) its only when im slowing down or at low speeds, over 20 it seems fine, but when i slow down it starts knocking, its not always constant, but I just took it around the block and i dont know that i feel...

So im not sure, but i live in speedway, and i had my barracuda parked out side a place i work at for a good 8 hours, and there was a party going on next door the entire time I was there. This was the night before the race, so speedway was packed with drunk people all night. I dont know that this...

This may be a simple thing, but im not sure and i need to change my U joint, and i dont want to just jump in and end up not being able to drive it for days because i messed it up. How easy is it to pull the drive shaft and replace the u joints in my 65 barracuda? I watched some videos on...

Ok, so i got my car running today, started after adjusting the choke, and ran it around the neighbor hood and felt comfortable enough to take it to fill her up. Now, after i filled up, it wouldnt start back up. luckily i had some wire in my glove box and pulled the ignition switch and made a...

So, i just got my brakes working, now im having ignition problems. the car will start if i keep the key in the position of starter position (just let off so the starter will stop turning) the car will run fine, but when on the on position it dies. i had it started and running fine earlier, but...

may be kind of a weird topic, but i was hooking up my new proportioning valve the other day and didnt realize how hard it can be to do some brake lines. the two from the master cylinder to the valve are pretty nice, but the 3 going from that are terrible, if its not poring down tomorrow ill try...

ive been using premium in my 73 318, but ive been wondering if it would be that big of a deal to go to regular unleaded, gas is getting higher 3.85 hear. what say? pay the extra 20 cents a gallon or go to regular?

This is probably a stupid question, but would a 318 poly engine head fit on a 318 LA engine, and if so would it be worth it, i dont know really that much about the LA engine heads but i always hear about how the hemi or poly-spherical heads are very efficient, but was it just for that time, or...

So I just converted to disk brakes, but i got a question, i got this old porportioning valve but i also ordered this wilwood one (260-11179), i was wondering if i should just put the wilwood by the master cylinder or if i should remove the old one and put it there. probably a stupid question...

So i recently switched to a MSD ignition, and im pretty sure that i dont need a ballast resistor with it. but i just now got around to removing it, but i got one question. there were two wires going to one end(fire wall somewhere, and the alt on one) and two more on the other side(fire wall...

I bought a new ignition switch last year from o'reillys and now i believe this one has crapped out on me already. it turn the starter and let back a little bit and the starter turns off, but the engine keeps running good. then i let it go to the normal on/running position and the engine cuts...

I wasnt sure if anyone knew anything about these, but there is a 330 desoto hemi 1956 for 400$ near me and i wasnt sure if it would be worth looking into. also, i didnt know where to put this either, since its old, i thought id put it in the early section. i was curious if it would work in a...

anyone have any suggestions for a fuel line kit? im switching to an electric fuel pump and i was looking at this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-PUMPKIT3/. i was going to replace the fuel sending unit with a 3/8 one, and im also getting this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MAA-4207/ and...

im updating my fuel system to a eletric fuel pump and new lines, and i was wondering if a fuel sending unit that went in a 69-74 would work in my 65 gas tank, would it fit ect. the reason is because those have the 3/8 outlets rather than the 5/16, and all my lines will be 3/8 now. heres what...

What is up with indiana weather, im sure we arent the only ones getting this, but just so you know, everything that looks like snow on the car, is actually ice, layers and layers of ice. it was cleared off as of 5 hours ago.

Im assuming this is a carb issue, if its an issue at all, but when i start up my car, is steadily increases rpms and it will continue up to 1500 rpms i thing, but i kick the gas pedal real quick and it jumps(as expected) then it dies down to around 700 rpms, and typically dies off after a few...

Im considering redoing my wiring, with a higher amp alternator. what gauge wire do you guys suggest, im going to be looking to pretty much replace all of my wires and the bulkheads. any other suggestions would be appriciated since ill have everything torn apart already. and i already got the...

OK, so im new to the whole car thing, well, ive at least been learning over the past year and a half or so. and ive noticed that there are a lot of different names for different parts. Well, ive been thinking why isnt there a car thesaurus. havent been able to find anything like that, so i...

OK, so after adding a radio and a MSD ignition, i turn on the blower motor and the voltage jumps down to around 13 or 14 when at idle, im assuming i need a better alternator. My question is, how powerful of an alternator should i get, i plan on eventually getting an electric fan for the radiator...

ok, i installed wilwood 4 piston disk brakes, and a new master cylinder from a darango or something that would fit my brake booster and came with front disk brakes, after i bled the brakes all around, it now the pedal goes down pretty much to the ground before it does anything, i can stop the...

ok, so ive used paypal a little bit before, mostly for ebay, but i decided to order some stuff off of summit, (disk brake kit and other brake related things) and i saw they used paypal, so rather than entering all my credit card info and stuff, i decided to login to my paypal and that was it...

ok, i got this brake booster when i got the car because the one that came with it was gone. now, im switching to disk brakes soon and will need to change master cylinders, but i dont know what kind of master cylinder to get because it is mounted by 2 bolts rather than the 4. i was looking and it...

I bought some wilwood brakes today, i got some 14in crager ss wheels, and im not sure if i am going to need new rims or not. wilwood said 15 in min and some 14in wheels. i was looking into the details and it has a 11 in rotor and there is a ssbc kit that allows a 14in wheel and its rotor is...

ok, o i was driving the other day, and i turned my blower fan on, i dont remember where i am getting the power from because i had to wire it myself and i did it a while ago, but 5 min after i turned it on, the engine died on me, i got it going again after a few minutes and i turned the fan on...
