    converting from c4 to t5

    There are 2 holes in your firewall. One of them has the speedo cable going through it now. The other has a round rubber grommet covering the hole about 3-4" from the speedo hole. You need to remove that grommet, and unplug your speedo and rerun the cable through the new hole. Then run your...

    Charging Problem

    Stock Fuel Pump Question

    Back when my fuel system was completely stock, the fuel pump would come on real loud when I turned the key on for about 30 seconds, then it would go quiet, and run normal. Now, after I installed a fuel pressure regulator, it runs loud all the time...any thoughts as to why it changed?

    Power Steering Pump Leakin

    So my power steering pump decided to start leaking after I reinstalled it. The leak is coming from the male pressure side where it screws into the pump. Will new o rings fix it? Here's some pics:

    Blow-thru Carb?

    I'm looking at carbs to get my car running again finally. I am only running 9.5:1 cr and will boost in the future. I was wondering if I got a good blow-thru carb if it would work N/A until I saved up enough money to get the blower, or turbo?

    you're talkin about sludge in the lifter galley right? If your on the budget plan, remove the intake and the spider that holds the dog bones on. Then use old rags to sop up the sludge.. You will probably need a tooth brush or something to help get the rags in behind the pushrods and around the...
