    holy crap i need help Gas mileage horrible

    What type of gas are you using? If your using premium that could actually hinder your gas mileage if your motor has relatively low compression. Premium fuel is more difficult to ignite. It needs to be compressed more. Thats why you need higher octane for higher compression motors, it resists...

    Carb Installation Question

    Are there sleeves in the bolt holes of the gasket? Some gaskets are think because the base of the carb is imperfect, and the thicker gasket helps ensure a good seal so you dont have vacuum leaks. I used a thick gasket like that on my old Holley 4010. It was aluminum and those carbs were prone to...

    If its in good condition, and if its the anniversary model (Convertible), its worth more stock since it was a limited edition car. If its not the special model one, best place to start is with teh suspension and chassis bracing. Itll make it handle better and safer all at the same time. Start...

    A little advice would be good.

    If the cars already setup for it there should be any issues going to carbed from FI. You will need a carb and an intake. And youre done. THe distributor mounted ignition module will take care of the rest for you. OR you can get an MSD6AL and youll have soft touch rev control and all the other BS...

    What should i do???

    Get subframes first, theyre cheap and will keep the car from twisting as you add power. Id say after that do the exhaust then tear into the motor. Once you get the motor built to where you want it to be THEN get a gear for it. Youll notice that the more power you have the less of a gear you will...

    blue paint splashed on car, how to remove?

    Depending on the type of paint it could be a total pain to remove. Your best bet is to wheel it off. Trying to do it by hand will take forever and you might damage the paint. And if youre not confident in doing this, call a body shop they might only charge you $80 -$100 to remove it depending on...
