Too bad about the cam in C4's....easy enough to do in C3's ...and since the later chevy performance engines all had fairly decent aluminum heads anyhow IIRC (that maybe could use a little benchwork and newer bigger valves at best - about $500) changing the bumpstick is perhaps the single...

1st: Handling: No comparison 2nd: Crate Engine No "dead axle" RWD can even remotely compare to an IRS vehicle....the camaro's handle good, but are just not in the same league. Your mid C4 with only the stock setups and not with the incredible aftermarket options offer the ability to hold...

Yep Red69, you're right.... Found the instructions and they also specifically mention it was OK to grind away a portion of the aluminum D Ring to make it fit. Remember you are grinding aluminum, so don't do it forever on the same grinding wheel without cleaning the aluminum build up off or you...

Stage 8 bolts.... Stage 8 bolts are another answer to the perennial loosenning header bolt problem. They are a somewhat conventional high temperature SS reduced head bolt with an allen head center also. They are only about Grade 3 or so, like most such higher temp SS (can't use normal heat...

One thing - If you have the headers off and have a torch... Do yourself an enormous favor and heat up the primaries on the ones that are close to the bolts and squeeze them in a bit with a pair of giant channel locks. You don't have to pinch them much (nor are you easily likely too!) to make...

Edelbrock Sorta Overstates Pressure Reqs..... I've run Edelbrocks almost exclusively for years on a variety of things. While it is true they can be flooded by a significant overpressure, on the piece of red debt I see 5-6psi standard and ranges from 4-8 frequently and do not have this...

I had one installed when my T400 was rebuilt Yes, you can cut a hole in the pan and weld a backing nut in the back of it, but it is fairly easy to warp the pan in the process or have a less than leak proof fit. That is the method I'm using for the oil temp sensor I am shortly to install. I...

Got infected with "It" in July '02, about 52K miles now ...and about a buck a mile too (well, 95 cents... :) ) It's pretty much the ONLY thing I drive, unless it's down for upgrade/repair. I can't say much about the snow driving, but I took it to work all four days and nights of the "big"...

Odds are you have to make some adjustments. Once it's opened, you're going to probably need to adjust the little rods that operate the lock and the latch mechanisms. It's annoying to figure out what does what and what adjustment is needed. You may also have lost one of the little swing...

SOMEBODY *is* worse than me! I've only had MINE in the box for ELEVEN MONTHS, you slacker!!! :) I even bought the tape, watched part of it and started screaming.... I haven't asked the guys at Corvette Corner in Rowlett yet. They do most of my stuff I'm too lazy, stupid or afraid to do...

OK, in continuation of the thread I tried to start below :) I ordered the VBP rear dual mount spring. The salesman (not Robin or Gary) recommended the VPB218 shocks as he said they were specially designed for the fibersprings for them by KYB. I was surprised at this and had intended to order...

Monday, before close of business, I intend to order one or the other of these from VBP. I was on a short trip when the starboard rear spring hanger decided a 1/2" something less than Grade 8 bolt was not going to see a full thirty years of service. (It had a weird "5" on it and FIVE hash...

I have one of those! I have been installing those in all cars now...make it a LOT easier to "turn off" a battery too. I couldn't see a good way to do the bypass deal many offer. The cut off I have only fits readily on the negative terminal restoring ANY ground function can allow...

Wow! Tell us how you guys REALLY feel... :) I was going to reply to the original argument post Vette-less started, but, seeing the "moderated" label thought better of it, but now.... To me the notion that a particular brand of a consummable product should be used on a collector car not...

A little trick for that overflow line..... For a little last ditch emergency cooling, lengthen that dump hose long enough that it goes to the front of the radiator and dumps there. That way if you are overheating, the lost coolant from the overflow tank will at least have one last purpose of...

I replaced mine when I was upgrading the e system Just the "cheapy" redtop. The battery has worked great. I got it at, of all places, an AutoZone! It was a little higher than that Costco price, but not much. Get some good new ends too - brass or gold plated are nice. A quick disconnect...

Yeah, I don't find anything ricer about hood gauges It's a lot more '60's/'70's bubba muscle car..... :D .....not even anything REMOTELY carbon fiber....:L ....I'll bet APC hasn't even HEARD of them!!!;LOL Sorry....;) I like hood mounted gauges - keep meaning to get a hood tach on my...

I have the K&N Xtreme thing with 14x3" on an AFB Keep in mind some of the stock filters are barely rated at 500 cfm perfectly clean. Your carb or throttle body is rated at more than that. Just like a free flowing exhaust, you want as little restriction as possible in the air flow. I run...

1971Ultra - hey how does your CSI pump work? Sorry to break the thread - I was just about to buy the SPAL fans and considering the CSI/Mezziere or Proform 35-37 GPM pumps and was heavily advised not to....that electrics just didn't flow enough peak - since they weren't RPM weighted like a...

I for a Greenwood wing, but they don't make C3 stuff anymore I have that same modification, and it must give a lot more downforce that the rounded original end. I do not think it is enough, however. I tried to get most of the Greenwood kit from Greenwood, but they are not making anything...
