    Widening exhaust outlet

    I was planning on opening up the exhaust outlet on my stock manifold to help it breath a little better. What tool would probably work the best? I was thinking about a burr but in a drill or impact driver. Has anyone else used something else with decent success?

    Holley 2280 throttle bushings

    Has anyone ever made bushings for a Holley 2280 throttle shaft? I just got done rebuilding mine and can't get it to idle and adjusting the mixture screws doesn't help. I noticed gas leaking out of both sides of the throttle shaft once the car was off. Such a shame because the engine was way...
