    Invision Gauges by Autometer

    I am not a fan of how much the look of the dash changed to use that. It took something decent and wadded it up into a smaller package that totally changes the way it looks. Like somebody with out eyebrows. Hard to tell until you know, then it is all you can stare at and wonder why?

    Will Headers work with TBI and older engine

    I have a set of pace setter headers made for the TBI trucks. I have not installed them yet as I have about a billion other things to do before that becomes a reality. But I have them.... Super thick flanges and they look to be a direct bolt on in place of the stock manifolds. If you don't...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I also like VW's and have one waiting in the wings for me to get to it. Hurst made aftermarket shifters for them and I have found one of the straight ones as well as one of the bent ones. These shifters were copied by EMPI almost exactly, so I have a couple of parts shifters that will be...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I found this cool trophy in the thrift store. No idea when it is from or what the racing class was. But I know its not new and it is pretty cool.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Found this in the junkyard back in 2020. It was old, so naturally I had to look it over. On its glass it had these awesome stickers and the car also showed signs of having go fast parts during some of its life... The car did give up its Hurst Pro-matic shifter to me though. It will get...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    We have done our best while raising her to instill she does not want kids until she is ready. That and she has good birth control going on. Plus my older brother had a '89 and he confirmed it was not a good place to be for those activities.... :chair: Worry not. They all know that I carry. Even...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    It seems to be a pair of tubes joined on the edge. It is difficult to see even with mine own eyeballs. Yes, the car has all the plastic bits on it as well as the ducting in the nose. I think it was simply like the rest of the car, not taken care of and abused. So we will flush it all and then...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Man. Rock Auto had this one fast tracked to us. Ordered on Monday and have it in hand Wednesday. If I had time currently I could start digging in, but alas, I do not. So I will just have to wait until the weekend and the rest of the parts should be here by then too... It looks like two 5/8"...

    Building a new motor for my 79 C10 - would love some advice!

    It all depends on what you are wanting to do with it. I will be building a 350 for my car here in a bit. I want it to be able to drive across the country as well as have some fun with the throttle. For heads, if it were mine I would stick to the 180 to 195cc intake port range. Myself, I am...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Thank you all. It has been far more work than anybody initially thought it would be. F'n PO was great at hiding his crap work and we are paying the price for it now. But, we are getting to build it I guess the way we want. For what I am in it now, I could have bought her a nicer car but it would...

    Headers for air bagged 86 c10

    On my big block, I have a set of 1968 - 72 Nova headers and they tuck up in the frame quite well. I do not know if the small blocks are the same, but it gives you a direction to look in.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I got to have some time out in the driveway this weekend and I finished up the radio and console install to complete this dash upgrade. I had to run a new yellow switched power wire from the fuse box as the PO had fried the wire coming straight out of the fuse panel. I clipped it off and...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Since I have very little confidence in the PO's abilities to do much of anything mechanical, I have also ordered several other parts of the cooling system. They are inexpensive enough and I don't want to have to keep diving back in to fix the next thing. So also coming along will be a water...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Just ordered the OSC 951 for my daughters car. It was all full the other day and then she took it out and drove it all over the place. Came back and she said that she could hear it bubbling and gurgling when she turned it off. Checked the overflow and it was empty with remnants of cruddy water...

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    A 305 automatic is still more fun than a V6. I posted the photo of the burnout in front of the house and a buddy said "Oh man it only leaves one." The response was "It still does V8 thing and a limited slip is much easier than a engine swap." It may only have a 305, but it still is fun to...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I bought this at the pawn shop the other day. I have wanted a meter that would tell me DC amperage as well as AC for a while now. It presented itself on Saturday. For some reason it would not read voltage with the leads, but the non contact voltage worked like a champ. So I took the chance on it...

    Best 454 all around build

    If you just want to find a set of heads to swap onto your existing engine, the L-29's can bolt right on as well. That will give your Gen 4 engine a nice full point of compression and it will make you more power all around with just those. The internet states it is around 30 to 40 more...

    Best 454 all around build

    If it were mine and this is what I am going to be doing once other things are done in the project pile.... I would pull a L-29 7.4L Gen 6 Vortec big block out of a junkyard vehicle and build off of that. Here my kid and his buddies pulled a Gen 6 and its matching 4l80 transmission from a...

    So the other day when the kid ran around after DMV showing off the car to whomever, she reported that part of the exhaust fell off. ****. She picked the piece up that went over the axle as it was only tacked in place and not finish welded in place. Now the part has witness marks on it where it...
