    2/4 drop level issue

    Totally agree. Upside down front hanger. I used those at the front with a longer shackle at the rear to get a 4” drop.

    high idle

    They were also used as an anti diesel solenoid, you adjust the idle with it unplugged with the regular screw to a low idle and plug it in and adjust the hex on the solenoid to your regular idle speed. When you turn the key off the solenoid will drop closed an hopefully I’d won’t diesel. I didn’t...

    Ideas as to where this problem is coming from?

    I think I found my leak on the right kick panel. Just have to wait for spring to drive in the rain to find out for sure.

    Dyno do’s and Dyno don’ts

    One of the cheapest and most fun ways to tune and find out how much horsepower your motor is making is to head to a quarter mile drag strip with your buddies, some jets, a timing light and a Moroso Power Speed Calculator. Buddies are there because they have all the right answers lol. Spend a day...

    Custom Made cover for a Bench seat

    After just finishing installing a pre made upholstery cover I gained a lot of respect for anybody with this kind of talent. It took me a while measuring and tugging and measuring some more just to get mine straight to the point I was happy with it. And it was already made to fit. The talent...

    What is this?

    It looks like your torque converter lockup vacuum switch located by the brake booster doesn’t have a vacuum line going to it.

    Tach Needle Required

    Did a Picknpull run today in below zero weather and every Square had the gauges missing. One had the whole metal dash from side to side cut out and gone. LOL

    Tach Needle Required

    Well cleaning my instrument panel I gently wiped off the gauges but didn’t pay enough attention and hooked the tach needle and broke it. Does anyone know where they can be found and purchased. It’s a 1981 but I would think all the squares are the same.

    I have never set up a Comp Cams mainly Crane and comparing your card and the last Crane I installed they show the Crane at .050 and the Comp at .006 could this throw things off?

    Quadrajet tuning made easy

    I think 75monza and Clark have nailed it, tuning a Qjet is way more than setting the idle mixture and speed. It is just like the Holley and Carter’s they need to be jetted to your engine combination but sadly metering rods and hangers are hard to come by. Just a little add on to the video the...

    Can Anyone Here ID This RPO Code?

    When they first came out many people were afraid that this new gizmo would leave them sitting and had them pulled and replaced with point distributors. Turns out they were pretty good for the day.

    For your absorption and contemplation I bring you a rumination of the reverie of burnt cats on toast

    At 30mph I was getting unbearable drone with two straight pipes with mufflers and short turn downs so I installed a cross pipe using the same size pipe and utilizing a slip joint on one side so I can pull the pipe and mufflers individual and don’t need to fight both at one time. Cut down on the...

    Do I need a block heater?

    The group that released that song is from Medicine Hat Alberta which is 325 miles south from where I’m located.

    Do I need a block heater?

    If you have one you have the option to use one. Up where it gets cold they help to make it to work on time because your truck will start without a boost but after sitting at work all day make sure your buddies don’t all leave before you in case it won’t go. Remote starters a awesome! Some have...

    4 Link coil over talk!

    I installed the TCI four link in my garage by myself with very little issues and very happy with the results. At first I was wondering/concerned about the diagonal pan hard bar but after driving it have changed my opinion that it works fine. The ride is better than stock and I have not played...

    Occasionally wiper start.

    I have had my GMC since new and every once in a while it will wipe the window once. I know that nothing has been replaced and have just written it off as the intermittent wiper farting. Only a problem if you have driven through a bunch of bugs it does the mush on your window when you don’t want...

    tubular transmission support

    I bought the Dirty Dingo cross member about a year and a half ago and I see they have done an upgrade by making the mount adjustable. I had to make a spacer to get the trans angle right. I like the newer adjustable one.

    Headers question

    Malibu Monte Carlo headers fit nice but you need to alter or replace the cross member to clear the exhaust pipe on the passenger side. Tucks up real nice.

    Once the caps are removed you need one of these tools to make life easy.

    Idle screw caps?

    I removed hundreds of these caps back in the day. Remove carb turn over use a hack saw and make short cuts below caps and then use the corner of a small chisel to drive the cap out. It is hard to believe that you can find a carb in this day that still has them. I never found one that didn’t...
