    Cross pin bolt snapped

    I ran into this a couple months back and dreaded it until I bought the kit to drill it out and remove the bolt. It was a 5 minute job with it. It has a threaded guide that a long 1/8th in drill bit can flex enough to allow you to drill a hole in the center of the bolts and use an easy out to...

    WTB Shifter *** Thread Closed *** Shifter Aquired.

    I have a B&M Start Shifter that was in a truck I dismantled and is in storage. The issue is, the company web site states it's for a 3 speed transmission, it was attached to a 700R4 in the truck.. that didn't shift right. Let me know if your interested, It may be more hassle than it's worth

    Fuel Line Repair at TBI

    I am going to add my .02 Those fuel lines are 37 years old, I think it's cheap insurance to replace them because nothing good happens once they start leaking. They may be stainless steel braid on the outside but the inside is still rubber or a material that deteriorates.

    Hickey Push Bar

    I spoke with a guy from MotorCityK5 at Dino's who said they are getting into reproducing some of the Hickey stuff although their site only has limited items. https://www.motorcityk5.com/c-9965-hickey-enterprises-exclusive.html What does this brush guard look like? I purchased a parts truck a...

    Headlights upgrade.

    My Hellas are H4 bulbs and 3 wire for low beam and H1 bulbs and 2 wire for high beams. The bulbs have different mounting so it's not like you can just change the bulbs.

    Dim Dash Lights

    When I researched this and went to a parts store site, they list 194 as 4 watts, 168 as 5 watt and 161 as an interchange but didn't have the wattage. I didn't want to fight with the LEDs and ordered the 168s. I will update when I get to it. Alsop make sure your getting the correct voltage and...

    They are out there. They don't' want to hear about your junkyard 5.3 swap, or your intake. cam and rusty headers on your small block. Build something with a new from GM engine and trans, fresh updated interior with Snowden seats, flawless body and paint with all GM sheetmetal, NOS parts used...

    Just started my first hands on squarebody build, looking for advice

    A Roadster Shop Legend chassis with a LT4 and 8L90 with all the options is $104K plus tax and freight. You still need the rest of the truck to put on it.

    Just started my first hands on squarebody build, looking for advice

    Anytime you deviate from stock, you narrow your audience. With that said, IMO, if it's done right and nails the look, somebody will fall in love with it, it will just take longer finding the buyer. Make sure the work you do is quality and looks professional, in other words, don't cut corners...

    Not enough Edelbrock 1406 fuel pressure ?

    As found in their tuning manual: Fuel Pumps and Pressure: Avoid extremes in fuel pressure. At IDLE, there should not be any more than 6.0 psi; if the vehicle has an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, set it to 5.5 psi. With most fuel pumps the minimum fuel pressure is encountered at high rpm...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That was obvious from the tires on it when we picked it up, LOL:rotflmao: I finally sold one I had been sitting on for a while to loosen up funds for this one. The past couple of months I have been buying everything needed to get it on the road as a daily driver. I pretty much shot the parts...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I only used car wash soap the only time I washed it so not to take off any more paint, but yes Purple Power is my go to degreaser and cleanser. I am familiar of what it can do using it too strong.
