Seem to have a miss/stumble in my SBC RX7 at part throttle. No miss at idle, no miss at WOT, does miss under light loads at part throttle and at a bit higher RPM cruise. Plugs look good. 10.5:1 aluminum headed SBC, 650 HP carb, jetted at 68 front, 75 rear, with a 6.5 PV. Any suggestions as...

Do all world class T5's share the same splines, or did it differ throughout the years and between manufacturers? I picked up a 383sbc/T5 combo, T5 has the electronic style speedo plug and an aftermarket bellhousing (looks like a Lakewood). Slave cylinder has seen better days, and the...

The following question was requested by one of our members: What is the best way to lash valves on a solid roller BBC? We can open this up to all engines, hot vs. cold lash settings, possible detrimental effects of getting it wrong, etc.

What length driveshaft are you guys with glides and 9" rears running? Just want to double check against my own measurements before I put in an order to make sure I'm not having a brain fart.

In park, car wants to creep forward if you bring up the RPM's. Car struggles to move backwards in reverse, like it's fighting to go backwards. You can actually feel the suspension load up before it rolls. Forward gears seem to work fine. This is a manual valve body, no trans brake. Car...

I've got a 79 Cutlass. On the side windows, how does the outside trim come off? I can't tell if I need to remove the window, or if I need to remove the interior panels to pop it out somehow. It's all got to come out eventually anyways, as all the trim and drip rails will be shaved. :-k

This topic will be for the discussion of valve spring selection, about what your spring pressure should be giving your cam lift, rpm range etc. Many people go by the recommendation of the cam card without an understanding of why. Thanks to 638montecarlo for the thread suggestion.

Posted for JP86SS: "With all the discussions about the filling and exhaust cycling rates and CFM, there are rarely any results that indicate the differences in cylinder pressures at combustion time. I'm not talking about static comp ratios but rather the pressure in the cylinders WITH mixtures...

Am I best off just getting them through Summit, or does anyone else have any cheap sources for the 275 M/T radials?

It was called to the MR.com moderators that the advanced technical section was taking a turn for the worst. Basic or irrelevant topics were being posted, straying away from the intended nature of the section. As of August 12th, 2007, only moderators may create a new topic in the Advanced...

Malibu Racing Rear Suspension FAQ: What rear end swaps can I do in a G-Body? http://www.maliburacing.com/tech_rearend_swaps.html What kind of bushings should I use in my rear suspension? Whether it be stock rubber, poly, or heim joints in your rear suspension, they all have their perks...

Anyone know a good source price-wise for Wheel Vintiques wheels? My father really wants to redo the Firebird once and for all, and I'm trying to convince him to go with 17" Ralley II repo's.

I had a number of people inquire about doing a possible MIG welding writeup, not unlike that which I did for TIG. I thought about it, looked through my resources, and there's no way I could do a better introductory writeup than Miller already has. I strongly suggest printing this out (Adobe...

DISCLAIMER: The following is entirely my opinion, and my opinion alone, as to how one should approach TIG welding. You may disagree with these opinions, you may do things differently, and you may find some statements too broad. This is done INTENTIONALLY, as this is a beginners guide, and...

Here's the scenario guys. An off the shelf optima red top with my electric fuel pump, water pump, msd box, and fan will drop my voltage down to 10.5-11v. I only need to make a few strip passes, but do NOT feel comfortable turning 7k+ with that little voltage going to the fuel pump/MSD box. Do...

Quick question. I'm probably going to order the Steel Concepts kit soon to redo the brakes. I felt alright with the s10 master cylinder on the stock 7.5, but am having reserves about using it with the larger Ford drum brakes in back. The setup will theoretically be Steel Concepts kit, 10lb...
