    Any suggestions on a Holley carb to replace the stock Holley on my 428 Cobra Jet engine. I was thinking about going to 650 cfm with mechanical secondary. Something strictly for the street. Thanks

    convertible top

    I have '70 Convertible with a white top that has stains all over it. I've tried every convertible top cleaner and none have worked. Is there another cleaner that someone has used that works or is there an effective way to re-dye the top. I really don't want to replace the top. Thanks for any help!

    engine knock after oil change

    I changed the oil in my 67 coupe on Saturday and I now have a knock in the engine. I've had the car for several years and the engine has been bullet-proof.

    voltage regulator?

    on my 68 GT500KR, when the engine is running above 1000 rpm, the interior lights cycle between bright and dim. Below 1000 rpm, they are fine. Is this the voltage regulator? It is a fresh restoration and I replaced both the alternator (from AMK) and the regulator. Thanks for any thoughts.

    gauges dying

    on my 67 coupe, the gauges work fine (fuel, oil press, alt, temp) when i crank the car. after 10-15 minutes of driving, the gauges quit working as well as turn signals. i am sure this is something simple but i don't know. seems to be heat related b/c it happens quicker on hotter days.
