Yep, Marvel Mystery Oil is the right choice. In 1994, I scored a '62 Harley Panhead that had been stored (indoors) since 1971. Yep, 23 years. I pulled the plugs, and put a capful of MMO in each cylinder and let it set overnight. Next day, after draining and refilling the oil bag, I kicked...

Oh, yeah! Yes, we have been there, too. If you look at the Cruisefest picture, spot the yellow 'Vettes in the center, go to the blue chrome bumper car at 3 o'clock position-that's me in the black shirt. The Assembly Plant tour was awesome as well. Highly recommended. :upthumbs Rick :gap

I have one. I bought the $150 one, without the light. I would suggest getting the $200 one, it is slightly larger, too, I believe. Intake manifolds are about the biggest thing I can squeeze into mine-and it's difficult to get everything perfectly-takes time. Make sure you get extra plastic...

Interesting I have not seen that tool, and I could use it. I assume it's not "Corvette specific" and would work on the engine cradle area of Chevelles, Camaros, Novas...? Can you advise location and price? Maybe add a link? Thank you. :) Rick :gap

Wow :eek That is very, very nice. The work that you are doing is quite impressive. :upthumbs Nice shop (garage), too. Keep up the good work. Rick :gap

Yes, I'm betting it's the intake bolts. The center ones are usually the culprit. I wire brush mine real good and use a nice dab of Permatex #2. I also prefer 12 point bolts to make getting at them easier (ARP stainless). It's not the original motor, so I'm not worried. The original is on a...

I really didn't care for the stripe , but thats how i bought the car. Understand. I'm not sure how long I would like it either. It's just different, and I thought, tasteful. A gold stripe would have matched the interior better, though. Hey, at least it's still in the family! :upthumbs...

Nice! Nice looking car. Like the paint stripe. Different. :cool Rick :gap

Welcome! Welcome, Calvin to the :CAC Great Forums here, lots to see and learn. Good people and good fun. We'll see you at Cruisefest 2007. :_rock Rick :gap

Welcome Hello and welcome to :CAC I can't honestly say how much torque a TH400 can handle, but I am certain a stock one won't like 600 ft. lbs. But, TCI and others offer nice tranny packages. You will also have to change alternator, p/s and a/c brackets for this conversion, and probably at...

Short My '72 takes a short style. I'm running this one: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/water_pumps/high_perf.shtml Since I was there, I put in a high-flow 180 degree thermostat and run Red Line "Water Wetter". If you look around in here, you will see differing opinions on...

Welcome! Welcome to the :CAC Enjoy the Forums, there are many great people here. Kansas isn't too far away to check out Cruisefest 2007. May I suggest you have a look at the "Events" tab. I hope you like your '86. I believe that's one of the early TPI cars. Good handling, performance...

Argent Silver I believe the color for your wheels is Argent Silver. I could not tell you the PPG numbers or Dupont if you were going to mix and spray. However, if you want to buy spray paint and "shake and shoot" lots of resto places have it. The Paddock, OPGI and others sell it for...

;LOL ;LOL :rotfl And the same could be said for the builders of the cars Pseudomind posted. WHAT are these people thinking...? Right about now you have to have concerns about the gene pool. Remo:cool No question there. My gosh-I haven't seen so much ugly in one place for a long time...

Oops! Sorry, my bad. But, thanks! :pat Rick :gap

Thanks, Boss! Hey Craig Jr. - A big THANK YOU for your help in changing my avatar. You da man! :upthumbs Now, people can see I really do have one. Not that anyone questioned, but, well, you know....;) Y'all have a great day. Rick :gap

Perfect! Thanks, Bud. I'll :beer you at Cruisefest 2007. :upthumbs Rick :gap

Troll Where's the troll smiley when you need one? BTW, 383 Chevy strokers are real common lately. Remember John Lingenfelter? Also, with a 3.08 rear gear, 150 mph is not a stretch for my car. And no, I don't COMPARE the new to the old. I PREFER the old, but I like all Corvettes...

I'm with Moe Jr. and Koop. I like the old ones. I can fix them. This new stuff costs an arm and a leg just for the diagnostic computer to tell me where to start looking. I also run an electronic ignition conversion, and it works just fine, thank you. And with my 383 decked at 9.5:1...
