    New Hood Hinges Stiff As Crap---HELP!!!

    If the hinges were not pre-greased, there is probably a bit of corrosion setting in. It might require treatment with a penetrating oil to loosen the hinges, then apply light grease to prevent future trouble. I have usually gotten my hinges from wrecking yards and had no trouble. If after...

    LED taillights - no blinkers now! UGGGHH

    Are you sure these LED units are the sequential ones. Not all are. Have a set on the wife's '68 that are not sequentials. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer with you problem via their web page.

    Export brace/monte-carlo bar fix/suggestions

    Using a simple side to side bar brace, bolt to bolt, without the three bolt flange is asking for trouble. Too much flex force and torque on a single bolt and mounting area sheet metal. It will cause sever cracking. There is a reason the original design had a multi-bolt mounting flange...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    Not sure about the electronic challenges, but I installed the Petronic system as directed in both the wife's 1968 (289 ci) and the dual point in my 1966 GT350 and have had no problems.

The Camaro story and release delay illustrates that point as GM wasn't sure they could commit to production until the dealers guarranteed sufficient order...

    my trip to maui

    I was in the SF Bay area of CA the first week of June and gas was $4.44. Came home to Honolulu at $4.05. Go figure. Maui County has higher gas as the county tax is higher at the pump. Still a pain no matter where you are. I am about ready to build my own still...
