I plan on driving from Seattle to Tucson this summer and have no place for "stuff". If I get a rack and put it on the rear deck, how is it installed.....gas tank removal?? A small trailer is another option Les

good one! I knew there was help on this....never would have thought about the side removal...thanks! les

Getting ready to pull engine. I've pulled many engines but never a 'vette. will the tranny come out with it ok? any shortcuts I should be aware of...I could benefit by learning from someone else's problems '73 350 with automatic

I no longer need to pass emissions. Can I eliminate the air pump and all that stuff? If I can, what adjustments need to be made on a '73 stock 350 L48

I got my work cut out for me come Jan/Feb....should be fun. Thanks for the info..... les

Looks like we're getting a sequence of things...I have the cam and lifters next, intake and exhaust. the carb on it is Quadrajet....what ever is stock for an automatic transmission....I know it has a distributor with points. Could I raise the comprssion just a bit with thinner head gaskets and...

Thanks for the replies.......I don't know the history on the engine and had planned on removing it to replace exhaust gaskets, redo the rear main seal and pan gaskets as well as the front pulley seal. My questions stem from the question about what to do while it was removed and how far to go and...

for a stock 1973 350 engine with 190 horsepower, the order of things to do to get better performance appears to be: 1. Change from points to electronic ignition 2. get the exhaust to breathe better...headers 3. change carb, intake manifold, and cam 4. higher compression heads The engine has...

I ony get one speed......if I knew the purpose each wire, I could troubleshoot the motor or the switch......there appears to also be a solenoid inside the gear box of the wiper motor and also a resistor wire. Somehow, when the switch is turned off, the wipers return to "home". It has been...

I need some help trouble shooting the three wires going into the motor assembly in order to determine if I have a problem with the switch or motor. Les
