    Motor Mounts for 454

    I had trouble with my 82 C20 w/factory 454 when I tried to upgrade my mounts to urethane, everything I ordered was too small even just replacing the insert using original clam shells. I finally ordered stock mounts for my truck & got a tube of windshield urethane from our glass guy at the shop &...

    Best Flowmaster

    I ran flow masters for many years but switched to magnaflow’s now and really like the deep mellow sound especially with a h pipe installed! I’ve got 18” lengths on my 82 C20 454 with all 3” pipe & get a lot of compliments on how it sounds!

    Spark plug heat ranges

    Yes I’m having a problem with fouling plugs, have been running stock heat range of 41 but upgraded the distributor to a Davis Unified that recommends wider gap on the plugs so now I’m fouling stock heat range plugs. Will increase heat range to get where I need to be, I appreciate all the help!

    Spark plug heat ranges

    I guess what was confusing me the most was seeing ac delco plugs with standard 41-46 heat ranges then seeing ac delco iridium plugs with heat ranges at 16. But gonna stick with regular ac delco with a higher heat range, thanks for the help!

    Spark plug heat ranges

    I’m trying to understand spark plug heat ranges, I know the ac delco heat ranges starting at 41 going up get hotter, what I don’t understand is I see ac delco iridium plugs and others listed on summit with heat ranges of 16 +/- ! How do these heat ranges compare to the 41-46 heat ranges with 46...

    Question about headers

    Headers are a nice upgrade, but do buy ones with a 3/8 thick mount flange. I have them on my 82 C20 454, I ordered for direct fitment on my truck & they slide right in from underside with no issues. I also ordered better flange gaskets that I’ve had zero leaks from, also had muffler shop...

    Getting quotes for paint/body work

    Quality paint materials are expensive, you can expect $2k just for materials especially if you’re doing jambs also. I tell customers all the time that a full repaint will normally start out @ $10k depending on how much body work it needs.
