Hey guys, I'm finally of the downhill side of the off frame restoration of my '74 coupe. I have rebuilt the control arms and I am wondering if I should wait until the engine, transmission, body is back on the frame before I tighten down the upper/lower control arm shaft caps onto their new...

Hey guys, I''m sorry I haven't taken the time to learn how to include links in my posts. Go to Fortes parts depot website and click the specials tab. Scoll down about halfway

Hey guys, Fortes parts depot has a dual snorkel air filter that they tout as a ram air type set up. I'm planning to use one on our sbc powered fox body muskrat Outlaw Street Madness drag car. peace Bud

Hey Ed, this happened to me also. I ground off the bolt and nut and then lifted the body off. Getting into the rear compatment to retrieve the rest of the bolt has not been attempted yet. peace Bud

Hey MTC, don't be concerned about the block clearancing issues that arise from stroking your stock 350. Any compentent engine builder will know about it. It also is not a difficult procedure if you plan on doing it yourself. I would highly suggest using a quality, forged rotating assembly that...

Hey Steve L, welcome to the CAC. '73 since new. Far out. peace Bud

Hey Mini, yeah your CR is probably lower than that estimate. The beauty of the roller lifter/cam swaps are the steeper grinds that are possible with them. Don't forget the exhaust side of the heads. You will probably want some larger headers to let those 180's breathe. Let the technical...

Hey minifridge, I am thrilled with my AFR 195 eliminators. They flowed great right out of the box.(277 intake) I see no reason why the 180s would not have just as high quality. I am curious about you compression ratio. Do you have domed pistons? Bud

Hey Mejet, it's all about keeping it original or not. If you want to match the power of the zz4 it can be done without losing your #s matching status. Bore and stroke to 383 cu.in. have your heads ported, swap out to a better cam, intake, carb, 1 3/4 headers and just like that you're running...

Hey Oceangal, when you increased the stroke of the conncting rods from 3.48" to 3.75" you will encounter clearance problems in different areas. Your machine shop more than likely clearanced the block and rods to allow for the longer stroke. All of the major manufacturers have pans for this...

Hey Thor, this is sort of tough, kinda rough, but not that bad. There is a retainer clip that holds the cable to the tach. Get some hemastats/needle-nose pliers to pull the clip off. For extra room you can drop the steering column. They sell a cable that has a metal sleeve that keeps the tach...

Hey Oceangal, I bought and am very happy with the red top in my '74 coupe. I have to admit though that I don't know if your '82 and my '74 share the same location.

Hey Mini, This could be the classic Holley stumble. Do a search on this and you should find many troubleshooting ideas. Good luck. peace Bud

Hey L-88, welcome to the CAC. If you're anywhere in the Ohio area my '74 coupe has the body off if you want measurements.

Not an answer Hey Gnuu, I don't have an answer for your question. I am curious about your conversion. Is this a slave cylinder system? Did you need a new driveshaft made. This is something I want to do. Thanks for any feedback. peace Bud

Hey Chief, It is not uncommon for Chevy engines to seep coolant around the thermostat housing gasket and puddle in low spots on the intake manifold. Bud

Thanks Mikey, I'm looking for assembly and service manuals. Reproductions are probably ok. Mid American has them. I just don't want to spend 119.00 for something I don't need. I'm looking for a manual that shows how different body parts are attached/suspension setups.

Hey Mikey, what is this feature? Also do you know if all service and assembly manuals are the same no matter who you buy them from?

Hey guys, it is now time to install the body back on my '74 coupe. Is there anything I need that is not obvious? Rubber or Poly? Who has the best kit? Not price but quality. Thanks for any info? Peace Bud :cool

Hey guys, I did a search on this but had no luck. I know that with hot rodders anything is possible but, how big of a swap would it be to install a manual 6 speed out of a mid 90's vette/camaro/firebird into my '74 coupe? I currently am running a m-21. The reason I bring up the firebird/camaro...
