    Hood hinges help,maybe not the same old stuff

    I don't even know how many 70's square bodies I have had. I only have 4 right now. I always close the hoods with one hand. That's just the way they are supposed to work. I have never bent a hood, and I doubt most people could bend a hood with one hand. I wouldn't invest money for some...

    Tire Recommendations

    I run BFG KO2's on all my 4x4's. I find them to be long wearing and quiet on the road and very tough off road. I have no reason to try anything else.

    Oil Sample low Viscosity

    Probably so, it didn't like cheap oil. That was the only time the oil light came on when I owned it.

    Summit bolt on exhaust system?

    I have used the Dynomax kits many times. I like them and that's all I buy.

    Oil Sample low Viscosity

    I tried some Carquest oil in my Cadillac Deville. It was on sale. The oil light came on at idle on like the 2nd day. I ran it for a week or so and then I drained it and put some name brand oil in it and the oil light didn't come on. I don't really trust the parts store brands. Your low...

    1985 K10 Radiator Core 19" vs 17", which do I need?

    I was surprised that my K20 came with a 17" radiator. I think the majority use that one. I'll see if I can double check that tomorrow

    Good sound with one pipe only

    I heard a Dodge pickup with a single Thrush welded muffler and thought it sounded great so I bought a pair for my truck. A single exhaust can sound good sometimes.

    Inconsistent tapping from 400 sbc

    I don't want to be a jerk, but maybe I am. I don't trust anybody's valve adjustment. I can only do it with the intake manifold off or the dreaded engine running valve adjustment. When people tell me their valve adjustment procedure with the intake manifold on, I just roll my eyes and say...

    Death wobble

    I'll bet the tires are ancient and flat spotted.

    Rotate 350 «backwards»

    The tool used to be cheap when I bought mine. How much do they cost now?

    454 shake and noise troubleshooting

    That's a sad story. When people are learning on your vehicle you never know how it will turn out. I wonder if the float is acting up. I have a friend that is ANAL about never turning a carb upside down because he is afraid of the float hanging up. I have done it quite a few times but ya...

    73-87 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Problem

    That has to be too tight. I would at least adjust it so the wheel turns easily and let the park brake work as crappy as it wants to. If the pads drag that will heat up the pads and rotor and drag even more and just cause headaches.

    Quadrajet Secondary issue?

    sounds like it is starving for fuel until the secondaries kick in.. The power piston might be stuck.
