At last guy's, I've finally got the car tuned up on the Chassis Dyno. Since I've bought the car I've added a few things to my Engine. 1. Changed Points system to electronic ignition system 2. Changed Timing Gears and Timing chain 3. Changed original Cam with Comp Cam XE-268 4. Changed...

Hi guys, I've finally came up with a video of my 74 Stingray. Sounds pretty good !!! I've got the Comp Cam XE-268 on Headers true 2.5" dual chambered exhaust. Here's the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kukI2LnxrqY let me know what you think :)

Ok. I'll try the mecanical gauge for sure. There's either 3 things that could be wrong right now. Either the Oil Pump, Oil pressure gauge or the the Oil pressure sender unit. Can someone tell me where I can find the Oil pressure sender unit on my 1974 350 engine?

Hi, Went for a drive today, first thing that it even happened. The oil pressure gage read 20 all the time. Then I was in town and when in neutral stopped at a red light, I've realized that the oil pressure went down to ZERO. I had to rev the engine to bring it back up. Then on the way...

OUCH !!! in deed. I went for a drive yesterday and the car is kind of hard on gas. Either it needs a good tune up or else it's normal. Not really sure yet until I get it on the Dyno. I go on highway every now and then. Go to some trips with the Corvette Club.. I know it will be more expensive...

Yes Magoo, I did install the Comp Cam Extreme Energy 268. And yes, I really like the cam. It sounds awesome. It's like I own a different car. I just love to stop at a red light and hear it on Idle. I don't even put music in the car anymore. I just want to listen to that nice Idling sound. I've...

Thanks JohnZ. exactly what I was looking for !!! :beer

LOL. I know that but for now. gears will do just fine. They are cheaper than HP. I will probably add some Edelbrock performer heads next year. Don't know where that will bring me in HP and Torque. But I think it's the next step I should take.

I took my car for a ride today. I just had the tach cable replaced. If my speedometer and tach reads right. These are the RPM I came with: 4 Speed Manual transmission on 3.08 rear end 70 MPH @ 2800 RPM 80 MPH @ 3200 RPM 90 MPH @ 3500 RPM 100 MPH @ 3800 RPM Now fine69 will...

Well with my 3.08's and my 4 speed. I drive at 120 MH/H at about 3800 RPM. I don't think 3:70 will red line at 80 MPH. I normally don't drive faster than 100 MPH and I'm sure I could probably reach that without being in the red line don't you think? Is there anyone that can tell me how fast...

Hey question. If I drop the clutch. Will it be very hard on the transmission. Are those Transmission very though. Can they take alot of beating. Could a few burnout's while droping the clutch cause the transmission to break? the only reason why My car won't spin is probably because I'm too...

Exactly what I'm talking about. I want to be able to make a burnout without breaking anything on the car. And like Curtis said, Yes when I try to burnout and I baby it. it smell clutch . ahahah I'm a chicken sh**it !! lolol I've been talking to a member on private message today and he's...

I was in first gear when I've tried. when the pavement is wet like when it's raining. It will spin for sure, cause I wanted to show my brother what the car had for power one day that it was raining and in 2nd gear it was spinning. But what I want is to spin even when dry and I couldn't do it...

Hi, I tried a few times in front of my house to do a burn out at take off. The Vette won't spin the tires. It was bogging the engine instead of turning those wheels. I know some of you will say. why the hell you want to do a burnout. Well the simple answer for this is. FOR FUN !! Everybody...

Hey, I've just did some work on my Car this winter. And that's what i did. I've upgraded my existing 350 L-48 and I'm very happy with the power I have right now. I've installed a brand new Cam shaft from COMP CAM. it's model Extreme Energy 268. I love the sound at idle !!! Also changed the...

If you go with the Edelbrock power packages (cam, lifters, intake, carb, heads). You should be very close to 400 HP and maybe more with probably over 400 Ft-lbs Torque. But if I were you, make sure of the cost. Might run same price or close to same price for a create engine. if you know that...

Hi, I'm looking for a good second hand 3:55 Ring and pinion for my 1974 corvette. I currently have 3.08. they work fine for highway and gas milleage but I"m more into acceleration. I've checked and anything that came out of a 1963 to 1979 would fit in mine. Anyone has a set for sale...

Thanks. I'll try that for sure tomorrow after. work.

Darn !!! Seems like everytime I fixed something. Another thing goes wack !! Started the car this morning. no problems at all. tach was working good. left it to warm up a bit. got into the car. Tach no longer works. What could be the problem? It's probably gonna be difficult to get...

thanks for the warning Wayne. I've repaired the Ground cable, put a new one and I've installed a quick disconnect switch at the battery. So no more Burning wires I hope. I will try to swap the ignition switch sometime this weekend.
