Many years ago I had a guy tell me that he ran windshield washer fluid in his water injection unit as it's more alcohol than water and it's also cheap, he said it worked fine but I've not tried it so I can't confirm that but it makes good sense to me, Later

There's a lot of variables that go into that question, street only? Street/Strip? Strip only/Full Race? There are several CFM calculators on the web if you google carb cfm calculator, based on cubic inches, compression ratio, cam profile, expected rpm and probably transmission type, that being...

Hi There, Cork or composite gasket either one I always use sealer and yes you guessed it, Permatex Aviation Form a Gasket, good enough for Aircraft, always worked for me on anything I used it on, anyway make sure the bolt flange on your pan is good and flat, IE not deformed from over...

Hi There, You really should have a gasket under your differential cover, I always have as I've never found just sealer of any type adequate, if you have a standard 7.5" rear the Fel-Pro part number is RDS55072, I like to use Permetex Aviation Form-A-Gasket along with a gasket which is a thick...

Dixie Restoration Depot shows 80% quarter panels for a Malibu at $149.99 each, I don't know of any patch panels, you may try Shermans, Goodmark and maybe ARE. Good Luck! KillerDave

Yes check your gauge but 220 degrees isn't really that hot, I believe Nascar race engines run about 240 degrees, less drag on the engine when the oil is hot, I run 195 degree thermostats in both mine and they generally run 200 to 205 degrees which is actually a good operating temp for a small...

They say Aluminum dissipates heat so well that a two core Aluminum will out cool a three row Brass/Copper radiator any day of the week and they are also lighter as well, that being said though I have a three core Brass/Copper in my 81 with the 350 and a two core Copper/Brass in my 78 with a 267...

The only good way I have found to chase leaks is to have the car on jack stands or a lift if one has access, clean the grease and or oil off the offending part, in this case the transmission then start the car up and watch to see where it leaks from, I have in the past sneaked into the local...

Yea I'd have to 2nd mc1984ss, most all of the standard non power brake master cylinders I've ever fiddled around with over the years had a push rod with a sort of compression snap clip ring the locked into the push rod hole in the piston on the back of the master cylinder and to remove them to...

Hi There, I have a Chinese made fold up engine hoist that I got from Big Lots many years ago, the lower legs flip up for storage and it has a three or four position extendable mast with the longest setting rated at 500 lb, I've changed a lot of engines with it, you have to be somewhat careful...

Have you tried Dixie Restoration Depot? They've got all kind of interesting G-Body stuff, Good Luck! Killerdave

Hi There, I've not messed with a "Vortech" headed engine but if I'm not mistaken the exhaust port side is the same, it's the intake mounting bolt pattern that's different but not by much as I have a couple TPI manifolds that will fit either head style, Later, KillerDave

Hi There, Base model no frills cars came with the single dash speaker only but there should be mounting holes for 6"x 9" speakers already made into the steel plate under the rear package tray, if you were to climb into the trunk so you can get your head back up in there you'll be able to see...

Huh, never heard tell of such a thing, I'd like to see some pictures of that, I've seen pics on here of guys using timbers and concrete blocks to hold body shells for frame offs but never seen anything like that, I think I'd prefer steel, besides you can get some pretty good jack stands these...

Sounds to me like the balancer is OK as it lines up with TDC, I'm going to say your timing tab on a 305 timing cover is up behind the water pump? And the timing mark on the cover ends up the the left side of the engine more under the water pump aimed at # 1 cylinder? If that's the case you...

Good!! Glad you got it whipped! That's the only thing I could think of that could cause a problem like that! Hey T5, How'er things? Yea I meant to mention a "loose" timing chain would be a good clue as to the possibility of excessive line boring but it got away from me, old brain gets kinda...

Last one I did I slathered the cam and lifters good with Comp break in lube, took the inner valve springs out as directed in the instructions, used Penzoil 20w50 with about a pint of Motorkote and a pint of STP with Zink DDP additive, then primed the engine with my drill operated prime tool then...

I never had any issue with my Dougs ceramic coated headers breaking a fresh engine with a new camshaft, just make sure your timing and jetting are correct so it doesn't get lean hot (bad anytime) and it helps to have a couple box fans blowing on the radiator as extra insurance, and obviously...

Any luck yet? .004 isn't much movement at all, any good lip seal would take that in stride as they're designed to deal with slight misalignment issues, what brand seal have you been using? I generally use Felpro exclusively, I was just looking at the pic of your balancer hub, looks kind of odd...
