Just curious. How many of you have had the privilege of having one of those "Know-It-All" friends who has worked on your engine who ended up costing you more money after he finished working on it? I started out restoring my '77 over 2 years ago. I started with new interior stuff like the dash...

Sorry if you've seen this post twice, but I accidentally placed it originally in the "General" forum instead of Technical. Since I don't know how to "transfer" it to the technical forum, I just copied and pasted it. Thanks for your indulgence. A friend, who's "supposed" to know a lot about...

A friend, who's "supposed" to know a lot about building engines, and I, pulled my old tired 350 out of my '77 and commenced to build a 383 stroker and dropped it in. Anyway, the car has been idling great and sounds good, and I can cruise around normally, but if I step on it, it pings. I...

Hey guys, Not sure 'bout y'all, but my A/C on my '77 has always sucked. I guess what I should say, is that there's never been much in the way of any decent force of air when the A/C's turned on. I mean, when I compare it to my other vehicles, there's a world of difference. Does anyone know of...

I read several posts about Speed Bleeders and that a lot of guys use them - they say it makes it real easy to bleed the brakes. I'm trying to bleed mine on my '77 now and tried using a Mity Vac vacuum pump but the little black adapter is pretty crappy in that it keeps wanting to come off the...

Okay, my fuel pump went out, like I related in another post. I wasn't getting any fuel in the carb (my bowls were dry and my clear glass inline filter was only about half full). I knew it either had to be a bad pump or a clog in the line somewhere. To help nail it down, I installed a fuel...

I just replaced my mech. fuel pump on my '77 and went with a Holley, but the fittings are on the front side which means the short piece of fuel hose from the hard line to the pump is a few inches shy. I need to change it out anyway, because it looks pretty cracked, especially where I used a "C"...

Actually, I don't think it's suckin' hard enough! Here's the deal. I finished my 383 stroker and dropped it in. In addition to fixing/replacing several things, I also replaced all four calipers and bled the lines but the brake light is still on. Whereas, before exchanging engines, when I hit the...

My question: Does the PCV hose need to be connected to a vacuum source? If so, to where? either the front or rear manifold vacuum ports? (I have a Holley 750 vacuum secondary (4160). Right now I have my tranny vacuum connected to the front port, my distributor connected to the port on the right...

Got a question. When you have bad gas (gasoline that is) - i.e. water in it, what's it sound like? I know I've gotten bad gasoline before, but then again, maybe I just need some reinforcement/consolation. I mean I hate the fast machine gun (although somewhat soft in nature)...
