Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I always allow $2000, and now $3000 for any used car purchase even ones that are presented honestly. I have $3500 now in my square that I paid $1000 for. But when sellers outrageously lie, leave large blobs of bondo flowing out through holes under the car I get sick for my customers. It’s just...- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I'm sorry. I try to keep any customer cars posted anonymous. This car is distinctive and others would recognize it possibly. So, no more pictures for now. I'm not accusing anybody of anything other than a flipper. No, the customer had no clue what he was getting into. His bill will approach...- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I work on classic cars. Recently, a customer brought me a 1979 Camaro that he had purchased on facebook marketplace.. or whatever. Not a z28, but, a base car that was loved, put away to rust, restored, and sat for 3 years, by what the new owner got from the previous. First thing I did was get...- justhorns

What have you done to your square lately??
Timing and carb adjusted. At about 85,000 miles in 40 years. It's running like new again. Of course, I gave it the full Vice Grip Garage rebuild treatment. -
What have you done to your square lately??
After a top end rework and carb rebuild plus... and 6 weeks off for installation of a new knee, the truck had a few minor issues. 1 Clutch making grinding feeling on up/down, and 2 throttle sticking... Fixed both with pb blaster. Will grease properly soon. All fixed. Continued to more carb and... -
Cup Holder
Dude- Where is your gas tank. Are you sitting on it? I don't think the cup holder is a major consideration. You go thirsty. -

Cup Holder
Being the LMC version i got is too small to hold an average drink cup, I really like the metal one as the holes look bigger. Who cares about crashing a square body.. They are not on par with new cars for safety by any stretch of the imagination. Cept they got lots of crumple zones. If you want... -

Here's one for the Holley/Eddy debate...
I’m here in denver. We are at 5780 feet elevation at my house. Drive down to CO spring which is a little higher at 6000 feet. Drive into the mountains to the start of the course and you are at approximately 9200 feet. THEN YOU START TO DRIVE UP THE BIGGEST DAMN MOUNTAIN to the top. You can...- justhorns

1978 K20 Gas Gauge
I’d start with the instrument in the dash, because it’s easier to get at. You will need a basic knowledge of electrical circuits. Gas gauges are very simple. A coil working against a spring. There is a lot of conflicting info on the internet because there a lot of dumb;()s. You either figure out...- justhorns

Here's one for the Holley/Eddy debate...
Holley (MSD) has bought Quickfuel, Demon, and others. Edelbrock will soon be the only other. Holley is pushing their fuel injection, and I feel the way they are buying up the entire automotive aftermarket to own it. Soon, emissions requirement will outlaw carburetors for a good part. They will...- justhorns

Inline 6 devac
Started right up after priming the carb. OK, so I cheated by rebuilding the carb, setting valves, retiming the engine, but, with only a vacuum advance hooked up, and the stock air cleaner. Nothing going to any of the 4 Ported vacuum switches and all the junk removed from the valve cover. Engine...- justhorns

Inline 6 devac
Engine ready for start after... lots. The only vacuum hose is to the vacuum advance, straight from carburetor. Will be adding a few more systems, but haven't started the engine yet, and a lot of dialing in to do. Nothing hooked to any ported vac switches. Will get the engine started and then...- justhorns

What have you done to your square lately??
Almost ready to start.. After Valve adjust, new side cover seals, rebuilt carb, new plugs (broke the old ones?), some paint and cleaning, removing a bunch of emission stuff. Update. Runs great. Valves are quiet, carb is perfect, No emissions left, no leaks. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Engine reassembly without some emission stuff... Now I work on a new vacuum diagram. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Just a little paint and things start to look nice! I plan on plugging all the extra emission holes in the valve cover, for now, tilll I replace this head with an early head. I'd like to cut these valve covers to remove the humps, but not until I prove that the new emissions setup works OK. -
