Interesting! Is it in a harness/wire loom or is it running loose? from the location near the thermostat housing I'd almost say it's a temp sensor,do you have guages or idiot lights? Take your air filter housing off and take a couple pics of the carb,choke is on the passenger side,it should be...

Sounds like you plan long term storage? If your projects are anything like mine I understand,I would guess that you plan on rebuilding your mc and calipers before you install them? If it were me I would disassemble them and and wash them in solvent,blow them dry and coat them with motor oil and...

It's kind of hard to tell where you are on the engine pics,close ups are good but sometimes it's better if you stand back a bit,it looks like a sender plug,could be water temp or choke or ac high idle as previously mentioned,could be a spare as well,possibly a peice of equipment your ride...

There ya go! Sometimes it can just be little stupid stuff like that that'll drive you crazy! Keep at it and we'll make a mechanic out of you yet! Glad to assist anytime I can,Later,KillerDave

Hi There, I can't see any reason why you can't run what you have,you just need to get the proper sized master cylinder and proportioning valve set up,I'm not an expert on conversions like that but outfits like master power brakes,stainless steel brake etc. are among others,I think I'd...

Hey Guys,thought I'd throw in my 2 cents,seems to me that I used to test non functioning gas guages by grounding them to see if they'd do anything,good ground the guage would go to full,if it didn't the guage was bad,the fuel level sender is a potentiameter (big word I think I'm right) when the...

Sounds to me like the choke isn't working at all as a pump or two of gas and the choke should be set and it should start right up and go to fast idle,the choke pull off that Tommy mentioned opens the choke blade just a bit after the engine fires and gives it some air so the engine doesn't become...

Yea it Sucks but at least you found the problem before it hurt anything else! After you get your valves fixed do the old tried and true clay thing and make shure you have the proper clearance and you shouldn't have anymore problems!!!

I hear ya Brother but you already knew the answer didn't you?

I don't think you have enough myself,what I generally do is slide the slip yoke in the transmission as far as it'll go and pull it out about 1/2" then measure center to center from there and it's always worked for me,any drive line shop will tell you to measure from the end of the trans output shaft...

Well that sounds better I'd say it's time for some springs & shocks,I hesitate to give you any suggestions as there are many choices and they all affect ride height etc. I'm fooling around with Moog springs off the chart elsewhere on this site but am going to have to modify them to get where I...

Pull your springs,put the spindles,rotors and wheels on it,drop it down on the bump stops and see if anything will rub anywere,check the clearance between the ground and your crossmember and figure in what if you have a flat tire,will the crossmember hit the ground? If it will you'll be to low...

Hey Man,I'f that's the beast we're talking about in the your avitar it looks to me that your wheels are way off from what you need for decent handling,It's hard to tell but it looks like the fronts are sticking out of the wheel wells and the backs deffinatly are,the best I ever did on the front...

I don't know what the number is but I'm guessing it came out of the 66 that the trans came out of,it was interesting as I did it several years ago and didn't have any idea about computers or this website or much else,I just knew the housing for the small clutch 6 wasn't going to work and I had a...

Hey Man, I have an M-20 in mine and it has a Hurst Competition Plus on it, the trans/shifter combo came out of a 66 Malibu so I assume that's the original application,the biggest problem is it wouldn't come out of the floor the same place as the 81 shifter,mine was v-6/3spd,but I imagine...

You know come to think of it I probably won't like someone elses layout for guages anyway,I guess I'm just that way,it's ancient history now but there was a cat from Canada advertising a hand made glass blank instrument panel on here a couple three years ago,I looked into it,had to send a...

Hey Jeff, Bummer on the needle bearings,Crower I believe has shaft rocker set up that have composite bushings instead of needle baerings,they are pretty expensive but from what i've read here and there work great are quieter that bearing rockers and supposedly less drag as you're not making...

It would figure about the time I'm getting my home made deal wrapped up they would make one! Let us know what you think when they come out,Later,KillerDave

Hey Brian, When mine did that it broke the cage that holds the body nut so I pried it out of the way and tacked the nut in a couple of places with my stick welder,maybe sort of barbaric but it worked for me! Later,KillerDave

Re: Hotrod to ####'s Truck Arm Suspension Hey Norm, Well I finally found that mag,turned out to be a Super Chevy,April 2004,can't believe it's been that long but it has,anyway the main driving impression of the truck arm car was that due to minimum body roll after coming around the cone...
