    Poly Leaf Spring Bushing ?

    I am in the process of putting in new Maier leaf springs with poly bushing kit. My question is, do I use the metal casing on the front bushing? I don't think I do, but the busing set I have doesn't say either way, and I don't want to have to do this again.

    Bad Knock...Ohhh how much will this cost?

    Looking for opinions on what potentially is the problem with my 306 that has maybe 1500 mi. on it. I statrted it up a few days ago to go on a cruise and then it happened, out of the blue, without warning. Knock Knock Knock. It isn't a lifter knock, it is like a VERY solid and rattling KNOCK...

    I've been reading up on a battery relo. install. What I haven't gathered is what do you do with the two leads that plug into the little terminal posts on the front of the solonoid? Where do they get routed to? Also, can someone elaborate on the late model starter install to eliminate the...

    New Dyno #'s are in.

    OK, I have a few miles on the new 306, so I took it to the dyno on Sat. I knew it was stronger than the 289 but how much I wasn't sure. So after some carb jetting and timing adjustments she put down 265 RWHP and 270 RWTQ. I was hoping for 300 RWHP, but behind the C-4 just a little too much...

    MSD 6 Box

    Anyone running the MSD 6, 7 or 8 tell me where you tapped into to get your switched 12v source. Did you stay under the hood or run into the interior to splice in? Thanks.

    NOS Top Shot

    Toying with the idea of spraying my engine with a 100 shot. I know I don't have the hood clearance to put in a power shot system which uses a 1/2" carb spacer for the spray bar. I was looking at the Top Shot system which is a clever set that mounts under the air cleaner and shoots down through...

    306 is in and running!

    Well, if any of you remember, I recently added AFR heads, MSD, and a cam to my original 289 and didn't quite get the performance I was hoping for, in fact it only netted me around 25 RWHP on the dyno. Because I didn't want a $1,300 dollar set of heads to wear away on an engine I wasn't really...

    Oil Pan Capacity

    I was wondering as I was changing my oil on Sunday.....is it normal for a stock pan to only hold 4 qts? I thought it was supposed to be at least 5? I change the oil about every 6 weeks wheather it needs it or not and use Mobile 1 with a K&N filter. The engine runs fine, even after the recent...

    TCI Street Fighter is in!

    TCI is in and it rips. The 40 year old C-4 just wasn't happy with the new engine mods. Now it can smoke the rear tire until I get sleepy. Man, now I really want my rear end. The one wheel peel isn't working for me!

    Rear End Dilemma

    I keep going back and forth between the 8" and 9". If I go 8" it would be: 8" with 67 center section, Auburn Pro Limited Slip, 3:55 gears. If I go 9" it would be 9" with Auburn Pro Limited Slip, 3:55 gears. I'm around 300-325hp, but waiver as to what I want to do because of the different...

    TCP Rack & Pinion

    First off let me say TCP is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Customer Service is actually Customer Dis-service. But...This rack & pinion unit is insane. This car drives so different. The unit is a work of art in itself. Lots of blue and red anodizing and raw aluminum. I got it...
