    Timing Question

    Well, I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but here goes. I just replaced my distributor, the old one was Tango Uniform. I got it lined up, rotor set, dropped and locked down. I started the car, and it started and sounded fine. My car has always been difficult to start, I had...

    Taillight Options

    Hey All, I have the painted horizontal bar type taillights on my '94 GT convertible. They're hazed, dazed and just generally looking like they've seen better days. I would like to swap them out, but would prefer to not have re-paint another set. Are there any other models that I can...

    Distributor Question

    Hey guys, I noticed a "chirp" during idle on my '94 GT the other day. It quiets down when it's warm, but it's pretty loud when I first start it up. I traced the sound to the distributor so I'm fairly sure this means the distributor is on it's way to going Tango Uniform. Am I better off...

    Fuel pump question

    Hi All, Recently my fuel pump has started to whine. If anyone has ever owned a chevy it's the exact same sound. I'm not sure if it did it before or not, but should I be concerned? Does this mean it's getting ready to pitch the fuel pump or do they just sound like that? Sorry to sound...

    Dumb Engine Plate Question

    Hi All, I decided to "custom" paint my "5.0 H.O." engine plate. Problem is, it is seriously screwed up. Most of the original paint has come off but it's also dirty and sort of corroded. I was going to try to sand it initially but decided to check with the pros first. Anybody have any...
