    Best 1st gear ratio with 2.94 differential

    Hey gang, looking for opinions on which 4-speed first gear is best with 2.94 rearend. I'm currently running a 2.44 first gear in my e-body project and it scoots - but I have to rev the engine and feather the clutch to start if there's a slight uphill. So I'm wondering whether a trans with 2.66...

    Side cover leak

    Hey manual trans gurus - I just did a quick rebuild on my 833 OD trans and reinstalled. Works great, except a leak from the side cover. I've not had this issue before on rebuilds, so I'm guessing I installed a regular paper sidecover gasket without sealant, thinking it was a Brewer's gasket that...

    Factory window tint

    Hi all, just wondering what the percent tint is on original factory glass (1973), and whether it's worth adding aftermarket tint? I'm not looking for the dark cosmetic appearance, just a little help in keeping the interior cool. This car will be a driver and we get some sun in Kansas. Thanks!

    5.7 crank end-play

    Hi everyone, I've started assembly on a 2013 5.7 and ran into a question on crank end-play. The crank spins freely after tightening down the main caps and cross bolts, but when I measure the end play there is only .001-2 movement. From what I’ve read, there should be more like .006-7...

    Any concerns going .040 over on a 5.7?

    Hello everyone, my 2013 5.7 block needed bored .040 to clean it up (sat too long with moisture before I got it). Basically got the block for free due to its condition. I'm assuming that if they make pistons that size the block is able to handle that bore. Any concerns with going that big?

    Fastback interior lights don't turn off

    Looking for input - I pulled out all the cargo area panels in my '69 fastback cuda to add insulation and new carpet. Reinstalled the side pillar lamps and they worked properly, but next morning I discovered the lights were on (doors closed, light switch in proper position). I was really glad...

    Source for replacement fastback cuda rear window?

    Hello all, in the process of tinting the glass on my '69 we discovered numerous little imperfections from grinding or welding, they embedded into the glass and show up as light spots when tint is applied. So I'm wondering about replacing the rear window glass. Does anyone still make that...

    Door glass up-stop?

    Can anyone show me where the up-stop is located for the door glass? I found the down-stop screw on the regulator but wasn't clear from the FSM whether the up-stop adjustment is actually on the door or on the regulator arm.

    USB port in console

    Here's a rainy day project. Cut out the bottom of a rusty console ashtray, removed one brace and bent the other to fit a USB port. Also added an audio jack. Used a piece of 1/8" plastic from a broken dash bezel for the face plate, glued it together. Easy to access, out of sight when not in use.

    Tinting options, fastback cuda rear window?

    Hey all, I'm replacing carpet in my cargo area ('69 cuda fastback) because the color faded badly after 10 years. So I'm thinking this is a good time to tint the rear window. I'm not looking for dark 'limo' look - would be happy with factory A/C glass level (my glass is original, non-tinted...

    Suggestions to find coolant leak

    Hi all, trying to chase down a coolant leak. Steady drip at front passenger side corner of the lip of the oil pan (see arrow). I already replaced the lower hose (radiator to water pump) as it looked pretty worn, but that didn't fix the problem. Engine is dry on top where water hoses connect...

    Should engine run cooler when AC is engaged?

    Did a road trip today and got to run my newly reinstalled AC system. To my surprise, every time I turned on AC the temp gauge dropped 5-8 degrees. I'd expected just the opposite. Can anyone tell me why the engine temp drops while AC is running? My system is factory inside the cabin, an older...

    No turn signals when lights are on

    Hello everyone, hoping someone has some clues to solve a new mystery on my ’69 cuda. All turn signals work as normal until I turn on the lights (parking or headlamps). Then the turn signals (front and rear) stay lit; no alternating signal. Also, the turn signal indicator lights in the dash...
