I'll give it a shot I'm gonna double check the pulleys too, to see if they have any burs.

I have had two of these belts break on me in the last two weeks. Any suggestions.

It was the diodes. Got it tested. It's under warranty...just sucks to have to send it backand wait.

Feel like telling a story?

My Alternator/Power Steering belt snapped today. I had to get gas before I went to the house so 1 start and about 5 miles of driving (some with the radio before I realized the alt wasn't charging) killed my battery enough that the car wouldn't start a 2nd time. I changed the belt (had another...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to forward it to him. He's driving a Ford with over 200,000 miles on it. I'm not sure how that happened, but it's got three wheels in the grave.

My dad is looking for a Convertible. He didn't specify a Vette, but he did ask me for help looking around so obviously I'm going to try and find him a Vette. His Guidelines for approval: 1) Convertible 2) Around $15,000 or less 3) atleast 20 mpg highway (more is great of course) I'm guessing...

That's why this forum is so great Someone like stallion, hell me too, can ask all these questions and not get crapped on by the rest of the community members. Thanks everyone for speaking up and giving a little anatomy on the heartbeat of chevrolet. By the way, I got the two Flowmaster 40...

no worries, it's definitely a wilder ride now though:bu

A header collects all of the exhaust from one side of the engine therefore you need two of them. They are very expensive. I bought mine from Summit for $529 ceramic coated. I know all of you warned me not to get the ceramic coated before making sure that they fit. I talked with Hooker and...

Went with the Hooker Super Competition 1 7/8" to a 3" collector. I've been looking around--couldn't find 4 chambered, i think he meant 40 series. I'm open to any other suggestions.

got em The headers are on!!! They bolted right up. I went for a little spin down the street. Amazing difference, I didn't get a dyno before but I'm willing to bet I picked up atleast 25-30 horsepower. There is one thing though...my mufflers are crap. Is it possible to blow out your...

Are these a something I should look into? Dynatech Competition Exhaust System Browsing the net. Could be something but I don't know.

You're Right I'm going with them. I'll be ordering them in a couple weeks. Hopefully to go on the first Saturday that I get them. Ceramic coated of course. I've seen some impressive numbers from stock to header dyno runs. I don't plan on doing a dyno run prior to getting them b/c the...

Cast Iron The manifolds are cast iron right? I talked with a welder. He said that cast iron is very difficult to repair (weld) with any real strength. The previous owner told me that the manifold has already been repaired once or twice. I figured if it has already been toyed with then I'll...

Thanks for the replies I'm thinking that I'm gonna go with the headers. I do need to find out the cost of ceramic coatings. The super comps with ceramic coatings are about $652 versus $508 for a black finish. Can't wait to get them. Oh, Nut, you're more than welcome to take her for a spin...

I'm looking for advice. My driver's side exhaust manifold has a crack. Do I replace it with the correct replacement or go for the headers? There is about a $300 price difference between the choices. Considering I go with the Hooker Super Comp. Ceramic Coated Headers, which are the ones I...

I have thought of that I have actually thought about that. Sometimes people (students) will rush through these things to finish an assignment/project. Most of the time it doesn't have any huge consequences b/c the final product is never actually used in a practical application. This time it...

We have a machine shop across the hall from the engine room and four dynos one door down the hall.

I have a chance to rebuild the 427 that's in my car as part of an Engines class I'm taking here at the Naval Academy this January. I've been told that an engine rebuild can cost anywhere from $3,000-$4,000 so I'm thinking this is a good deal. The car smokes during start up and under...
