    Help--Oil pan leaks!

    After you figure out which gasket you need, make sure you spray all the bolt holes out with cleaner, and maybe chase the threads, and clean the bolts. When you install the new gasket be sure to use some thread locker on the bolts and torque to spec so they don't come loose. I use a long straight...

    1979 Side Emblems

    Spark Plug Wires

    I'm looking for some ideas on routing spark plug wires. I've used the stock location of down the back of the block, thru the channel, to the plugs, but this no longer works for me.:r I would love to run them on top with brackets, but there are soooo many out there I can't decide what would work...

    Hot under the hood

    Try all of the obvious stuff first, make sure the thermostat is opening up, and there is good flow in the new radiator. Did you repalce the seals around the radiator that channel the air thru it, instead of around it into the engine? Check for hoses that are collapsing, ( I have had cheep after...
