    Help

    Im sitting here stuck at a rest area near home. I filled up about 20 miles ago and am empty again. I just put some fuel in and after i moved kept the truck idling. I watched the fuel start dripping out of my passenger side tank. I dont use that tank because i haven't replaced it yet. Any ideas?

    77 caddy Eldorado

    So im looking for a cheap plug and play carb for a 77 Eldorado with a 425 in it. I tried rebuilding the stock rochester but i messed a gasket up and it leaks fuel everywhere. I figure untill my carb rebuilding skills are better an aftermarket one would be perfectly reasonable. And if the new...

    Short woman assistance

    So my wife likes to say that at only 5ft 3 shes too short to easily get in my stock height truck. I think its bullshit. But to keep myself happy in bed i decided to fab some up. I got some steel diamond plate for free from work and some structural angle iron. So this is what i came up with. Yes...

    Starter wiring.

    So i got a replacement mini starter today. Brought it home and wired it up but i get nothing when i turn the key. I wired it the same as the normal starter. Did i just do something wrong? All 3 wires had terminals for the right size lug so i know nothing got crossed.

    Thinking about a swap but want to keep my tranny

    Cadillac engine swap

    My neighbor has a 77 caddy with a 425 engine in it. Im sure the engine will fit in my square. My question is how hard would it be to make it match up to my sm465. I assume the crank would have to be machined to accept the pilot bearing. And most likely a adapter plate? This isnt likely goin to...
