    Gauge Pics

    I always thought the one without the dash vent is interesting... does the bezel need to be cut to match it, or was there a bezel made without the vent provision?

    You should be able to cut the opening for the wiper switch in a later panel pretty easily with a Dremel.

    Maliburacing gallery (Post your car)

    Sounds good. I'd like to get some shorty headers because the ground clearance with the ones I have isn't the best.

    Got any pics of how the headers fit with the clutch linkage, or are you running hydraulic?

    VOLTAGE LEAK HELP!!!!

    No. I'm glad I didn't reply last night because I was super tired and missed the part about not having the switches hooked up. That was going to be my first suggestion, but if the switches aren't hooked up (and everything is hooked up correctly) then there shouldn't be any drain at all from...

    Timing Tab (HELP!!!!)

    Have you used a timing light at all? If you try moving the distributor around and don't know where your timing actually is, you're chasing a problem in the dark. Once you have TDC marked, and if you can gauge your timing from the 0-mark you made (10-15º initial with no vacuum advance will get...

    Methods to quiet trunk noise?

    I'd spray some deadener (or stick it) to the insides of the quarter panels, they are the most flexible in the trunk area. The floor is stamped and doesn't flex too much, and the lid has its reinforcements. You could probably spray the whole thing and it will help, and also build a divider that...

    Gallery of seats

    Mine are from a Dodge Omni... which I didn't know at the time because they were in my old truck and the previous owner didn't tell me what they were from. If you want to look for a set:

    How strong is a 8.5 dif.... REALLY

    On street tires you'll never break it, especially with what you've done already. And if it's mostly street driven I would leave the TruTrac in, I doubt you'll break that either on the street.

    vic jr with wilson elbow

    I don't know how accurate the numbers were, but in an article a while back they first bolted on a carbed GMPP intake + 750 Holley to a junkyard LQ4 (and headers of course) and it made 425hp/439tq. I'm assuming you know, but the engine is rated at 300hp from GM. *edit* Test results page for...

    Alternator Amperage

    Most alternators won't produce their advertised output until they're up farther in the RPM range. The question is, how hard will you really be pushing it? If you have the amp for the mains set up with a high pass filter you can probably figure that won't use more than 10-15A on average. The...
