    Days of My Youth

    We used to follow a girl around town in a ‘74. The car and her are still here and the car is untouched and driven. Keeps it under a cover. If you find the pics, please start up a new thread. Old metal is still in my blood I guess.

    Days of My Youth

    That cobbled up thing was from our local rent-a-center. All of $10.00 a day. Sure beat using the tree and chain hoist. Still hoping someone from my generation breaks out the old photos and runs them thru the scanner. And thanks guys for looking into my past!

    Days of My Youth

    In memory of the one car I wish I still had and hoping she is still pounding the streets somewhere But I still got to hang on to this a bit longer Until life finally caught up with us. So fast forward thru the family life. Kids are gone and have their family thing going. We have got...

    Another goodie showed up so it was time to pull the engine out of the Chevelle. Once all the other stuff needed to fill the engine bay was acquired, in it went. Of course the pic is really lousy here. A local racer had a "bulletproof" Turbo 350 for sale so I got that and drove it around...

    Days of My Youth

    After our recent move, I was going thru boxes of pictures and found a bunch of old photos that brought out all the good times I had in the old day. Yeah, the 1900's. Ah, the 70's and 80's. Well, the 70's mostly. Photos of drag cars of the era and my old rides. If only we had a camera in our...

    Is a Spark Plug...a Spark Plug??

    Must be a mistype. Never heard of a gas engine producing that kind of compression. Even if they could, it wouldn’t be with flat top pistons and sure not on pump gas. Diesels do make those numbers, but that a total different animal. Myself, I would go with either plug, run them a bit, and pull...

    How about a blast from my past. My old Vega that got me around back in the mid 70’s. Snorkels were the thing around here

    Is a Spark Plug...a Spark Plug??

    I’ll throw another penny in the pot. That topic is still being debated with no set answers. Performance wise, a projected tip burns cleaner and exposes more spark because it is “projected” just past the last thread in the plug hole. But because it is further into the combustion chamber, it can...

    Is a Spark Plug...a Spark Plug??

    Sbc would use ngk 7516, heat range 5. Not sure why you were recommended to run 8’s. That’s a pretty cold plug. Because of the blower, I have to run 1-2 ranges colder than stock so I run ngk ur6 7773. Tried 7’s but they didn’t burn as clean. I’m also running Hookers and have no clearance issues...

    Hi from Bs. As. - Argentina

    Here's a couple of places you can try. Might be easier to use their contact us button and send them an email for what you are looking for instead of searching by year and make. Either way, maybe they will help get what you are looking for or recommend someone else...

    Is 28"x17"x1.25" radiator OK for mild 350?

    I just had mine repaired last month. I almost went with an O'reilly radiator but opted to stay with the old copper and bass one. One of the tanks and a tube was seeping and several fins closed up from our giant grasshopper impacts. The leaks were soldered, the core rodded out, the fins combed...
