    1979 Trans Am - 25 years in a garage

    Was reading through and thought this was a cool coincidence, just noticed a Can Am for sale in my area the other day, seen better days, but would be a cool restore job. https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/silverton-1977-pontiac-can-am/6849434890.html

    Ideas for fuel mileage - underdrive pulley? electric fan?

    In the end I just gave up and acknowledged that fuel will be the costliest thing for my square and if I want MPG, commute in my Geo Metro or pull/haul everything with my 05 dodge diesel. Square is just my toy because I love driving it and the look on ricers faces when you beat them across the...

    Ideas for fuel mileage - underdrive pulley? electric fan?

    I did a bunch of stuff to my big blue that helped around 2.5 mpg, changing to an all terrain tread from mud tread, good working carb, pipe in fresh air for the big air cleaner (made a dual snorkel 14"x6"), trying anything to reduce air drag (hard to do with something as aerodynamic as a brick...

    Whutizit ??

    My 86 has both, they are just off a "T" next to the distributor as factory. Doesn't really matter where you put them both. I went through the whole crap of trying to figure out why choke on aftermarket carb never worked after I got rid of the crappy manual cable job someone did when I found out...

    What is your daily if not square body?

    My new daily for now, just rwd with the 3.5 HO. So far really like it, for an '05 only has 65k on it. not the greatest side view out the back corners though. Sure has a lot of space in it, which is deceiving by the low roof line.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Love the little 135, have one I got 11 years ago, bought a two bottle cart so I have a bottle of stargon and an argon bottle, then bought a spool gun for aluminum for it too. Best all around welder Iv'e ever had, still haven't broke a think on it except for wore a liner out and replaced that.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put my big blue onto blocks so brakes just off the ground in prep to start yarding the motor out and open it up to finally get a pic of where my crank broke a year ago...been in full procrastination mode, lol.

    Damn mice.

    That specific one actually didn't work, guy did a test and videoed it, mouse jumped/knocked back away from it saved him. Now if you had a tad of glue paper there, probably keep zappin' till it popped the breaker, lol.

    New guy with a new project

    Welcome, that will definitely be a fun ride! I've been coveting an 86 my neighbor has that needs new drive train for a good 4 years now, can't get him to part with it though. I noticed you got blue dots in your taillights, is that actually legal there? Here in Washington, they criminalized that...

    Problem with Door Locks

    My guess is something with the lock cylinder lever is not phased right to the latch mechanism. Been too long since I've done one, so don't remember exact layout, did find this from LMC that shows a little around the 4 minute mark.

    69 GMC C-15

    Wish my 71 GMC had that suspension, mine came with leafs instead of coils, very hard to come find a decent 4/6" drop with leafs other than spring over and C notch it.

    Can someone point me to threads on 350 vs 400 cid

    I like the 400 too, built with attention and not just a slapped together backyard job...great torque for a plow truck. I've always felt the 400 got a bad rap, part from people trying to wind it like a 327 and part from getting worked on like any other sbc...biggest sin was swapping heads with no...

    What plugs here?

    Did you have the problem before you installed the new wiper motor? I've had 2 reman units right out the box do that in the past, the park switch inside would not make so keeps on cranking.

    US General Tool Carts, Tool Chests, Tool Cabinets

    I've got two of the service carts and so far the only thing I don't like about them is the pop-up hinges for the top lid. I usually leave the lid up (just ask my wife, lol), and the few times I close it for some reason I always forget to look what is siting near the fold down hinges and end up...

    Guess The Tool

    That is a Parker Par-Lok wrench, should be part number 860062-24. Mostly used on hydraulic fittings. Have a full set of those at work. Not sure if you can still get them, Parker is now Parker-Hannifin. https://www.hydradynellc.com/images/document/223_parlok%20wrench.pdf

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Not sure what happened in the last week, but looking at craigslist from work sucks now...will not show any contact info to call on stuff, just gives me the pop up message "sorry, something when wrong" when I click on the reply button. Guessing it has something to do with being a work connection...

    Guess The Tool

    No wonder the damn thing never worked well for me, lol. Inherited the tool, just never paid attention when I was a kid how to use it...too busy playing with cars to care about carpentry.

    Guess The Tool

    Those are old slid nail/staple pullers...grab a fencing staple or a nail with the jaw and work the slide to pull it out of the wood.

    Last one...Fencing pliers. Have one I got from my grandpa still.
