    Alloy works radiators

    Has anyone ever bought one of their radiators? Price seems good too. Seems to be easy to install and comes with everything you need. Will the 3 row be enough to cool my 454 or should I go 4 row? The only thing it's quite a bit longer than the 3 row. Any input would be appreciated...

    Starter shims?

    Put all the shims on the starter and it still grinding a bit. Should I put more on or what? It didn't have any when I pulled it and had it rebuilt. So I'm at a loss here. Here's a video of me starting it and noise it makes.

    Throttle cable way too long

    I just noticed my throttle cable is too long and allows throttle to stick sometimes and that's not good. I ordered a new one but was wondering if maybe it's the cable bracket on the carb that needs to be fixed. It's gotta huge loop in it and a pretty sharp bend right where it goes into the...
