    Piston Rings__Another Lesson Learned The Hard Way

    Yes, either the cylinders were not preped properly or the wrong parts were installed! Since it was all 8 my money is on the parts were incorrect/not fitted properly I don't see where Summit failed Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Are Headers REALLY Worth It?

    Finally a true statement, at least half of it! I bolted at set of alumacote hookers on my 77 Camaro and I "perceived" an increase of power. I ran a week with open headers and it was able to light up the tires in first and second gears but it ran out of steam at the top end. Corked them and I...

    Over the hill

    Brake module? I replaced it! The one that I took off had a Hollander number on it just like my radio, IPC, radiator, condenser and who knows what else. I did install C-6 shocks last year and WOW what a difference! The driver's window up switch takes more pressure to activate than normal I...

    Over the hill

    I would say yes, I did get a good deal on it with 50k in the clock because it had a bunch of pidly things going on. It was someone's daily driver that never washed it. It took a while to clear all them up. It is running just over 200 on the temp gage so I'll need a radiator and t-stat in the...

    Question: Issues with gauges. 1979 Purple Corvette

    86 Vette cranks but won't start

    Were the wires still connected when testing? With the coil cover removed and everything plugged in, KOEO (key on engine off) you should have power on both sides. 12 volts on the power side and nothing on the tach side is a bad ignition coil. (Open in the windings) Sent from my SM-N920P using...
