    Removing stickers from fiberglas

    Hello everyone, The previous owner of my 1995 was a crazy real estate agent who applied his company name to the car with large applique's. What is the best way to remove these from fiberglas? Should I use a heat gun or just warm soapy water? Thank you for your help! Mike

    Carb and intake on my 1981

    Hello all, My 81 has a warmed over original motor. I know it is bored over .030, has large chamber heads and a mild cam upgrade but I don't know what the cam is. The car runs strong, but is a terrible cold starter and needs a good 10 minutes or a reading on the temp gauge until it idles well...

    Brake pedal softens while braking.

    Ok guys, Here is my latest. The brakes on my 1981 work well, but the brake pedal goes soft during braking and sinks until the brake warning light comes on. In park I can pump up the pedal again to a firm feel and the brake warning light goes out. Master cylinder or power booster?
