    what do plugged catalytic converters act like??

    I put cats on my carbureted mustang to make it pass emissions(No other emissions parts, only cats). I passed, drove around for a day or so, then my car started to sputter really bad. Would bog and hesitate/sputter BADLY when going from a stop or accelerating. I made it home and smelled something...

    clutch break-in

    I attempted to break my king cobra in but got stock on a very steep hill trying to go up it from a stop while babying it which didn't happen. So after putting maybe 35 miles on the clutch I had to dump it to get up the hill without stalling. I've talked to a few people that throw on a king cobra...

    Fan clutch... ?

    I bought a new fan clutch to put on since my car starts to heat up when idling but stays normal when driving... I'm looking at the car and it doesn't seem like the fan clutch even belongs on there.. How does this thing go on?

    Here in Ohio they check for cats, check gas cap pressure, then run the car on a dyno and check the emissions. They never even looked underneath the hood for my car.

    how to run straight up carb?

    My car was converted to carb. Believe me, it's pretty hard to rip out a piece of wiring you actually need when going from efi to carb setup. I went underneath my dash and pretty much everything underneath there was feeding from other locations and was no longer needed. I ripped out like 20...

    Am I effed... or will it be ok this one time?

    I actually wrattle the shifter back and forth more than I probably need to to make sure i'm in neutral now. It's kind of become a thing I do without even realizing it. I'll pull it outa first and go into neutral if i'm slowing down and use the break to stop and ill hit the shifter back and forth...

    Am I effed... or will it be ok this one time?

    I kept it in second and dropped the clutch thinking I was in first.(Last minute desicion to drop it and thought I had put it into first while rolling). It smelled pretty bad, just shaves a bit of life off the clutch but it shouldn't do any immediate harm. Mine still grips REALLY strongly after...

    in the middle of cobra manifold install

    When removing my dizzy I didn't mark where the actual rotor was so when I put it back in I had to move the engine to top dead center and put the rotor right in front of #1 on the dizzy and pop that ****er back in. Took an extra hour just cause of me not properly marking how I took out the dizzy...

    Fixing up small rust spot help.

    Well. There was a small spot on the car that was just barely surface rust. But then right next to it there was a scratch that had rusted. The small dime sized spot was completely gone within a minute of me sanding. The gash took a bit longer. It looked like someone really gashed it (it was only...

    Fixing up small rust spot help.

    Ok so I had a small spot of rust on my passenger side fender. Started with 220 grit and sanded through the rust. Took like 0.5 seconds to get it gone, was barely on there.. Very minor surface rust. Then I smoothed out the lip of the fender with 400 grit. I then taped it off and sprayed it with...

    Safety precaution for hood flying up besides pins?

    I would think you'd be better off using 2 cables. Maybe a 1/2 foot out from the center on each side. That way if you are doing 120 and it flips up, you dont got all your marbles in one basket. You've got 2 seperate locations to absorb the impact. It would require more time when popping the hood...
