    If you know about distributors-read this.

    Had a guy recurve distributor. He sends me a card that says 20 degrees initial, 34 total at 3400. He said bring motor to 3200 and set timing at 34. Last time I set timing after replacing the pick up coil I just set the timing to 14 degrees. Could not setting the timing the way that guy said set...

    I give up. I'm done.

    I give up. I'm done. Or at least after this. After spending $100's of dollars on two electric fans, 100 amp alternator, and a new 7 blade flex fan my car still runs hot. Driving on a cool Florida night like tonight it is still going up into the low 200's. I don't care about that. But the...

    Was considering tubular front end until...

    I realized Magnum Force was going to charge me $5,250 for a setup without any brakes. That is too much for me. Looks like I will just rebuild the original front end with some quality parts, and spend the thousands I save on some better brakes and other things I need. Plus I emailed them a...

    I can't believe I am cutting up a brand new fan.

    I had an 18 inch fixed blade fan with a clutch, but decided to upgrade to a flex a lite 1818. It is a seven blade 18 inch flex fan. But the hole in my aftermarket fan shroud kit is only 19 inches. I actually spent a couple hours stretching the hole open and re-drilling holes for the round shroud...

    Why does my torque wrench have these numbers on the side?

    If one foot pound equals 12 inch pounds, why does my Craftsman inch pound wrench have numbers 1-14 for every 10 inch pound increment? I am in the process of tightening my oil pan to 180 in lbs.

    Buy Auto Parts steering box horrible

    I thought I was making a good investment replacing my old 1966 Plymouth Satellite steering box for a newly rebuilt one which was only going to cost me 227$ after I turned in the core for a $100 refund. I did not want to spend the $550 for a new Flaming River or Steer N Gear manual steering box...

    Header gasket strength

    I will find out the answer to this by early next week anyway, but am still curious about the topic. I re-installed my left side Hooker header (next time buying TTI) after re-installing the transmission. I used a Moroso graphite header gasket. I did not tighten the bolts as tight as I normally...

    Holes in Grant steering wheel-why?

    I have a brand new model 415 Challenger wheel from Grant and it has these two holes that are in the black plastic ring of the steering wheel. See the attached pictures. So it makes it look like my steering wheel is broken and had pieces crack and fall off. The are on the right side of the...

    Problem with Grant hub.

    Anyone else had a problem with a Grant steering wheel adapter hub? I installed my steering shaft nut to 30ft lbs just as it states in the instructions. But then I took the wheel back off to look at the turn signal switch. After I was finished I put the wheel back on and torqued the steering...

    Need help installing steering wheel and horn

    I am installing a Grant GT steering wheel and hooking the horn up. The car had no horn and no wires were hooked up to the horn relay. I hooked the black wire with the white tracer from the steering column to the top prong of the horn relay. I attached a power wire from the starter relay to the...

    Things went bad with FBO

    I had run an orange ECU for seven or eight years and put tens of thousands of miles on it with a Holley coil, electronic voltage regulator, and ballast all of which never failed once. When I upgraded my motor I wanted the distributor re-curved and Don talked me into upgrading my ecu, coil, and...
