I'm fixing a PVC bumper on an RV. I've plastic welded and filled with a bumper repair kit. Getting ready for primer. I'm going to just tape off the area and and have a sharp transition between primer and original pain (Imron). Painting the whole bumper or to a transition line is out of the...

OK, I have an odd combination and want to know if I can delete the air injection system when installing headers. It's a 98 Ford F53 motorhome, 460efi, OBD1 (emmisions exempt, no catalytic converter). I found some headers but no provision for air injection. If I delete the air injection will I...

Is there a spec for getting the correct shim thickness in the rear end posi clutches. This is my first rear end rebuild and the best answer I get is assemble with lube on the clutches. If you cant turn independently, remove shims. If your arm doesn't feel like jello after a few dozen...

Years ago when I did my LS swap, I put on a "temporary" flat filter intake. Plans were to make sort of an L88 style since I have an L88 hood. Well it looks like it's going to be a cold winter, so a project in the basement is in order. So can anyone tell me how big around the little screen cage...

OK, this question is from a paint/bodywork idiot....so be gentle. I've got a fiberglass hood on my Olds ( I know, not a vette, but it is fiberglass )recently painted with base and flat clear coat. I want to add a stripe on it to match the rest of the car (sunburst orange) with gloss finish. Can...

I've been trying to find an appropriate forum for this and with the wealth of suspension knowledge here, this is probably the best place. Anyway, I've been looking at doing another LS conversion since I finished my 6.0 LSx vette. I've wanted to do an aluminum 5.3 L33 in a Triumph Spitfire ( I...

This may be a bit rudimentary for the discussions here, but for those of you who bought suspension kits from a vendor whose name starts with a letter very late in the alphabet..... I rebuilt the entire suspension and steering about 7 years ago, maybe have 10,000 miles on it. Thursday, I hit the...

Photobucket has become so painfully slow, that it's getting unusable. You cant do anything until all the ads load. Linking a pic takes longer than writing a thread. Any other similar sites that are not so slow?

Anyone got these 3 trannys laying around? I'm looking for the smallest possible trans in the rear main body section for a project I'm looking at. Small tunnel for an engine/trans swap. I know the 4L60e is too big, is a th350 or 200R4 smaller?

My 05 Nissan frontier developed what sounded like a warped front rotor a few weeks ago. Over the past few days the steering got really twitchy and it would pull hard when braking. I go to change the wheel bearings and find it's a sealed unit with anti-lock brake sensors and hub in one piece...

I'm in the process of modding a 4 speed and need to make a custom shift rod. I bought a strait one with one threaded end and the shifter hookup on the other end. These things are made of some tough metal. Any hints on bending one?????

I'm rebuilding an 82 f body super T10. It's an oddball trans with attachment for a torque arm and a 27 spline TH350 output shaft. I'm trying to figure out the speedo drive/driven gears used on this. The drive gear is 9 tooth with a 32 spline internal pattern (they neck down the output shaft to...

OK, dont laugh, not exactly a "car" but at least carb related. I picked up a 96 craftsman riding lawn mower, free. It had been sitting for years but ran fine before. It has a 15.5 hp Briggs and Stratton with a Walbro LMG carb that was gunked up. I rebuilt the carb, cleaned all the passages, and...

I know Richmond and Tremec require checking the bellhousing runout to prevent premature failure of the input shaft bearing. But it seems no one makes a big deal about checking it for a Muncie. Are they that forgiving of slop? I've corrected runout before, it's not that big of a deal, just kind...

I've rebuilt a few Muncies but this one is the first without a slinger between the bearing and input shaft gear (64/65 #325 case). I've found out early Muncies didnt have one. The distance between the 3 & 4 syncros is noticable more than the 1 & 2 syncros. Maybe 20 thousanths....about the...

Anyone know where I can find 1/2" bead Dorman/GM fuel line? I'm looking for the 1/2" version of the line in the link below. I have a 1/2" quick disconnect tool, so I'm assuming they're available. For AC systems maybe? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RNB-800-155

I just saw this kit posted on another site. http://www.mastercool.com/pages/flaring_tools.html I think it's the first kit I've run across that does 37 degree double flares. So my stupid question for those who do a lot more fabrication than me.... What are the standard rules for what flare to...

I ran across this article where a marine vapor separator tank (VST) is used on a vette EFI system. On boats it's designed to prevent vapor lock and avoid the use of a return line to the fuel tank. On a EFI converted car without in tank sump or baffles using this could prevent fuel...

Anyone replace their rubber radiator hoses with copper? I've got some odd, tight bends to fit my cooling hoses around the LSx motors fan to the Griffin radiator. I thought I could solder together some 1 1/2" copper plumbing tubing. I figured radiators are soldered, so anyone done this or see a...

I attached a 6 speed richmond trans to a 621 bell housing with an adjustable throwout bearing lever stud. Right now it's out of the car and would like to get it setup right the first time. I set the stud in about the middle of the threading. The lever travel allows for the bearing to be off the...
