    Primer/paint Newb Question

    I actually have done lots of research on this topic but haven't found my exact situation in my searches. I'm resto-modding my 67 and the previous person had undercoated right over rust and grease. I'm taking it down (just the frame, wheel wells, engine bay etc....no body panels) to bare metal...

    Demon vs. Quick Fuel??

    I realize that the Demon and Holley debate has gone on for years but I haven't seen much about the quick fuels. I have a speed demon 650 on my stang now but im not too crazy about it. Lots of tuning issues. I know the basic design of the quick fuels is a basic holley design but so is the...

    4 speed swap leak

    Hey guys, a few years back i had a 4 speed toploader put in place of my 3 speed. The transmission is awesome, however i think that the tail of the 3 speed was a bit longer than the 4 and the yoke doesn't quite go as far in as it could. I'm guessing this is where my oil leak is coming from? Is...

    oil pump installation?

    Hey guys, how hard is it to install a new oil pump and pan while the engine is still in the car? Is it important to change them? How bad (or good) was the original? What is the deal with all these high volume oil pumps? If you could recommend any brands that you've had success with that...

    Edelbrock performer RPM crossover

    Anyone either found gaskets with the crossover block or come up with a crossover block of their own? I have the RPM (not the air gap) and am not interested in keeping the exhaust crossover but can't find any gaskets that have the crossover block in them. I'm thinking of cutting small pieces of...

    Fuel line question

    Ok so the fuel lines are almost 40 years old....guess it's time to change them! I'm hoping that might be what's causing the overheating and pinging at cruising RPM's. The car was originally the "C" code engine (1967) with the 2 bbl. carb so im assuming its got pretty pathetic fuel lines on it...
