    10 SI to CS144 ,Amping Up

    Rear deck speakers

    AFAIK the stock rear speakers were 4 x 10. My 79 MC and my 82 Mali were, at least, in my experience. My solution in both cases was these adapters: http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=7786#tabsanchor You bolt the adapters to the speakers and use the metal "wishbone" to hold them in place.

    condensor gremlins

    When the Accel Coil was installed did the ballast resistor get bypassed. Points get 12v when cranking and drop down to 9 when in the run position? If it's getting 12v constantly it'll burn it up

    Th350 no forward gears locked up in neutral and reverse

    LIke the title says, I was cruising last Sat night when all of a sudden I hear a noise like soft metal on a bench grinder then no gears. Long story short fluid looks fine, smells fine, even tastes fine :lol: but when it came time to roll it off the flat bed, no go. The guy had to shake my poor...

    Grill/plastic trim repair? PICS ADDED

    Re: Grill/plastic trim repair? ^^^ Thanks for the input. I started feeling a bit experimental today so I decided I would attempt to "weld" new plastic into the grill for the repair. I used a scrap computer drive bay blank for the patch and also cut thin strips of the same to use as "filler...

    Grill/plastic trim repair? PICS ADDED

    My grill is missing a 1/2 x 1/4 inch chunk in the upper corner, is there anyway to repair this? Also my tail light bezel is cracked, any special glue or epoxy that will hold up?

    Are these good tires?

    Seem to be a decent "average" tire to me. That's a rather short tire though, 25 in tall. IMO i like the look of at least 26 in tall on A/G bodies: 235/65

    my upper rad hose clamp has ground?????

    Yup, i was poking around with the test light the other day checking some grounds, just happened to "brush" against the clamp and.. light!!! :-k I didn't believe it at first, but it's in no obvious way in direct contact with any other metal. I showed the one tech at my work, i thought his head...

    battery ground

    X2 on the timing. My 350 likes ALOT of timing, but I found out the first time i went to restart it that I had to back it down a degree or 6 :D I forgot to mention the star washers as well, they help "bite" into the metal and make better ground. Also how is your starter to block ground...

    What to check? Rebuilt TH400 stored for long term

    I let a Th350 sit outside for 2 years on cinder blocks with just a garbage bag over it to keep leaves/snow off of it. Worked just fine until I accidentally shifted it into reverse going 65MPH :shock: #-o

    What booster to go with?

    My bu i had was a single and the brakes were nice and firm, tho not too firm. Seemed to stop the car just fine. My MC has the dual and can stop with ALOT less effort tho I have to be careful in the rain as to not lock the front wheels. That being said if you don't plan to drive in rain or can...

    speedway motors tubular control arms

    I've had my eye on these for quite a while. My only concern is the aluminum cross shaft holding up on the horrible Pennsylvania roads I have to drive on. Will they hold up to the harshness of pot holes and the occasional running over of groundhogs? :lol:
