    Need advice on Autometer tachometers

    So I was driving today and my stock tach suddenly stopped working. The needle is now stuck at the 1,500rpm mark and won't budge. I installed some white faced gauges a couple weeks ago, and had to remove the needles, so I think that might have something to do with it. Anyhow, since the stock...

    Installing a new dizzy

    I'm about to order an MSD bullet distributor and have a question about the install. I know how to install it, but would it be okay just to mark the position of the stocker, yank it, then stab in the new one and line it up to the mark of the stocker? Or do I have to do all the bs like pulling...

    Why does my car buck below 3000rpms?

    If I put it to the floor in any gear except 1st below 3000rpms my car will buck a bit before the rpms start to climb. My car runs perfectly fine and pulls hard, but for reason it has always bucked a bit, especially after my H/I/C swap last winter. Could it be bad motor mounts? What would cause...

    Thinking of swapping out spec stg 3 for Centerforce DF... Need advice

    I've had a spec stg 3 clutch with aluminum flywheel in my car for almost two months now. I like the clutch and all. It grabs real hard and can take a ton of abuse, but I just feel it isn't a good clutch for me because my car is pretty much my daily driver. It is often difficult to start off...
