    Yeah, give it some time. Check the oil and coolant just to be on the safe side since you saw some white smoke.

    Drag week 2025

    Awesome! I’d like to meet them someday. Finnegan ended up with an 8.89, now in third place in A/Gas.

    Anyone know what Finnegan ran today? I know the first run was a dud.

    That thing is pretty nasty.

    Drag week 2025

    I was worried that he broke it slamming so hard that many times. He won’t win it unless something crazy happens but at least he’s still in the game. I didn’t see Angelo run more than once, I might’ve missed it, but he did put a clean run down in the 10s

    Drag week 2025

    Just thought I’d start a thread. The live streams are starting today on YouTube, feel free to post up anything notable- awesome runs, interesting info and anything else.

    If you’re going THAT low, get spindles. Read all about it here. You won’t have good front geometry. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/wanna-slam-that-63-98-c10-c1500-lets-talk-about-it.38131/

    Getting ready to do the front?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, this just happened. Been hankering to get a better set of heads for valvetrain stability. I watch a lot of stuff from Eric Weingartner on YouTube, and of the budget heads, they get high marks for quality and QA. AFR stopped making the 195 enforcer heads, went with larger chambers that I...

    Chad’s delivery service was out and about today to get @Mr Clean squarebody M2 to him today.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the header collector gaskets. Had one leaking ever so slightly but couldn’t tell where. Found the witness mark on the driver side. So much better now, it’s amazing how something that’s not a huge deal can make a difference. While I was at it, I adjusted the shift linkage. Still not...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You’re speaking my language. It’s been a long process. I have it on the most aggressive pump setting, even went with the pump itself from a bigger 800 and put in the largest squirter that Eddy makes. The AFR is fine most places but there’s the dreaded Edelbrock flat spot, apparently the...

    Drove around in the backcountry and did some WOT pulls. Still had a dead spot then would take off. I adjusted the Air Door on the AVS2, much better now. Got some coffee and hung out in the sun sitting on the tailgate after going to Hobby Lobby and Wally World on my intermittent M2 search.

    18 or 20's

    Those are another on my hot list. I think they’re boulevards? I also like Salt Flat 20” on these trucks.

    Nice work! Sounds like she was due. Time for a road trip?

    I’d like something like this but of course I’m biased :)

    Yesterday got an invite for the Hooptie Cruise again. We went down Chuckanut Drive next to the water and ended up in Edison for some wings and cold drinks. Man it was hot! The Cold Case radiator did its job. Hottest it got was 190 or so (maybe less) pulling into the garage with the least airflow...

    Thanks for that, and that’s pretty shocking that people can’t even be bothered to get the software. I have heard the Sniper 2 is better- one horror story I watched unfold was where a Sniper damaged in shipping, and just getting it warrantied through Holley was a nightmare- they told him that...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Today is a mental “what am I doing”. I’ve saved a little cash and in the next month I should be able to order parts for the next thing I want to dig into. Interior? Maybe. Lots of inspiration on here to do that. But drives fine without it. Cylinder heads/cam/pushrods/rocker arms redo? Upside...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Looks like a great outing! I wish we had that kind of thing around here. There’s some car shows and Cars and Coffee meetings, but the JDM presence is big and usually overruns the American classics. Not that I have a problem with JDM- as long as it’s something a guy/gal is into and is wrenching...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Went for an early morning drive to catch the full moon over the bay. Then stopped and bought some header and collector gaskets since I have a tiny leak somewhere, almost imperceptible but I think I hear one. Easy job anyway, doesn’t cost much and gives me something to do while I save up cash for...

    Thanks man! I got connected with a local guy who specializes in preserving patina in older vehicles, comes highly recommended. He’s agreeable to meeting up to give pointers since it’s as far as I want to go with my limited knowledge. Might be a big nothing burger and he just tells me to leave it...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Think I’m done for now. I went 800/1000/1500 then Meguiars Ultimate Compound, heavy cut, fine cut, then Machine Glaze. Good enough is good enough. I haven’t decided if I’m going to put the VGG Patina Preserver back on- for now, just a quick spray wax. So much good natural patina that was already...
