    Stopping serpentine belt squall with March A/C eliminator bracket

    I've had the March A/C eliminator bracket on for several years, and have had to use progressively smaller belts to stop the squall. I fianally got around to a more premanent fix.

    Street Cams

    I like to have all the parts ready, before I start a project. There will be more to do before I get to the cam, but I would buy a DEAL, if I found one, before I'm really ready to install. So with this in mind, I'm soliciting reccommendations, for which cam to be on the look out for. Just cam...

    Some GT-40 y303 questions

    I recently got a set of GT-40 y303 heads w/1.7rr's(used eBay), after doing searches here & at corral.net, I've got more questions than were answered. Search revealed- All aluminum GT-40 Turbo Swirls begin with the same casting. The y's are the least machined. Stock pushrods can be used. The...
