    Stalling Smallblock....Edelbrock Woes...

    My Eddie 600 is a beautiful fit for my HP Street 318. I learned probably the most common problem with this carb is people run to high a fuel pressure. Should be 5.5, no higher than 6. Peace

    disk brake conversions are they worth it.

    Wheels are so limited in the 5 x 4 bolt pattern unless you are getting something custom. Just something to think about. Peace

    Aluminum Radiator

    As far as I can except not being as pretty the Summit brand alum rads are just as good. The specs are the same for almost 1/2 the price. Remember these are cross flow rads, so the manifolds are on the end, the fins will still fit in the stock hole. Just measure the max space that will fit and...

    Legendary Interior and Seat Backs - 69 cuda

    I would check into a local ulpholstery shop, the quality of the vinyl of the repros I've seen is disgusting. Year One, the Paddock, Layson's, and Legendary all charge over way too much for the quality of the vinyl they use, I wouldn't put it in my car. Peace

    front tire size dilemma

    Thanks for the input, I went with the 26"; I have 4" Centerline's on the front and the tire sizes are kind of limited. I'm just not ready to invest in a wider rim yet. But I do like the look, I relocated the rear springs; so my backs are tucked beautifully underneath. To each his own, Peace

    The brackets I made work but I'm not real happy with the set up, maybe someone else can give you some advise on it; maybe someone knows where to buy some brackets that work. Peace

    Very Hot Radiator

    I put the Summit radiator in my '68 B'Cuda, I believe it was the one that was 25-26" wide. These are cross flow rads, so the manifolds are on the end; not the top. The fins fill of the hole perfectly, also you can get a petcock set up in the suggested parts section on the radiator item page...

    valve adjustment w/no cam specs

    I don't know the specs of the cam in my 318 and would like to check/adjust the valves. Is there anything I can do short of pulling the cam out. Is there any symptoms of needing a valve adjustment. I would like to order a valve adjustment wrench but don't want to pull my covers off before I'm...

    Electrical fried for third time

    First you want to bypass the amp meter, they are nothing but trouble; go to www.madelectrical.com and you will get great info. I would run my stereo amp thru a relay, if you order a relay kit thru mad it comes with a collection of wiring diagrams. Basically your amp will then be powered directly...

    Has anyone done this AMP guage bypass?

    I just did it and my headlights where immediately brighter and I was sick to find all the fried wires that stemmed from the ammeter gauge and the bulkhead connector. I was shocked my car even started or didn't catch fire. I put a volt meter gauge in and am very happy with the consistant...

    Automobile Transportation Services

    I will only give you my personal experience, no matter who you go with it is expensive. I had my '68 shipped from southern FL to Las Vegas by DAS. The price was good for what they offered in comparison to other shipper's of the same reputation. They were right on time and you can track...

    classic car insurance

    All classic car insurance is somewhat restrictive, if you want your car covered for it's true value and not bluebook. Hagerty is one of the least restrictive, that's who my friends and I have all went with, one has had a claim that was handled fast and honest. Some of the other companies only...

    I have a Sunpro mechanical oil pressure gauge, when the motor is off should the gauge still register pressure; or should the gauge indicate zero. If it is suppose to register zero, could someone help me calibrate it. Thanks

    Aftermarket Stereos

    Personnally I can't stomach cutting up the dash or any panels. I have a '68 B'cuda Fastback, I mounted my player in the glove box; I control it with a remote. My speakers are mounted out of the way behind the back seat in that cargo type area. I upgraded the speaker in the dash, forgot the...

    Installing H Pipe

    Want to install an H pipe on 2.5" exhaust with Hedman Hedders and pipes out the side in front of rear wheels. So the space I have to work with is limited, I know to be most effective you want to install close up to the header outlet. My question is: Is there an effective distance between the two...

    RPM at 55mph

    Most people don't like my set-up, I have 3.23's with 28" tires; we drive fast on the highway around here. I'm going 85mph at 3000rpms all day long, very comfortably. Don't go 55 that much. Peace.
