Hi guys. I'm just starting to work on the vette again after a long break and want to order a rack. I just don't have the time to roll my own anymore and found a company that does the power rack with a cradle but they say they have only installed in small block cars. What is the difference in...

The brake fluid will probably cause the lenses to develop a bunch of tiny cracks in a couple of weeks. They use it here all the time and charge people to get their lights clear, you can always tell who has had it done after a month or 2 when they get the white cracks all through em.

It looks like CF has been hijacked. I just went there and was redirected to a wares site lol.

I'm trying to get the best angles possible for the tie rods on my rack install but have a couple of questions. Looking at this pic you need to get the instant center to line up any of the other measurements but if I extend the lines along my a arms they will never meet (thats not my car...

I agree on the Quicktime. My Mcleod was so out of spec I couldnt use it.

The drive shaft I got with my tko kit is too long by about 1.5" and I'm not going to waste any more time with the guy I got the kit from so will just get one made by dennys driveshaft. Should I take this chance to go with a larger diameter or will I run into clearance problems? I don't have the...

Are the headlight assemblies made of aluminum or pot metal? One of the frames on mine are broken and I want to know if it can be welded. Thanks

I have a Mcleod flywheel for my big block and it has a hole for a dowel from the crank but I dont know if I should have one or not. I did a google but nothing comes up for bbc flywheel dowel. Can someone confirm one way or the other? Thanks

I just went through the same thing a while ago. I got a Mcleod bellhousing and it is shit. The dowel holes were too big and had so much slop the offset dowels could rotate fully without moving the bell. I ended up getting the Lakewood kit that has the weld on washers and just got the bell to...

I removed mine the same way except I just used the roof rafters to hang the body from then dropped the lift to lower the chassis from under it.

I have my 427 back together but am not feeling too confidant in the fel pro 1 piece oil pan gasket. I have a milodon pan and it was a whore to get on with the studs and gasket in place. I even had to enlarge a couple of the holes where they didnt line up with the studs 100%. Even then I had to...

I found a hairline crack on one of my guide plates and was wondering if it would be ok just to weld it up? I wouldn't worry about it but its at the base of the fingers that actually hold the push rod in place. I'm really fucking sick and tired of finding different problems every weekend when I'm...

I lost a couple of the nuts from my connecting rod bolts. Can I use something like this? http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/300-8302/10002/-1 . Its a 3/8'' - 24, 12-Point, Black Oxide. Is there a special nut needed for connecting rods? I dont see any sold singly on Jegs or Summit. Id rather not have...

I ordered the ss-830 Quick Fuel carb after checking with jegs that it was a square bore but now that I have it its a spread bore. Should I try find an adapter or should I just return the carb? I dont even see any adaptors to go from spread carb to square manifold. I see them to go the other way...

Hi guys, I'm ready to order new push rods for my 496 build. I'm looking at Chromemoly but I need 7.550x7/16 for my intake valves and cant find them. The exhaust I need 8.450 and 8.500x7/16 and can get them from Summit but don't see any as short as 7.500 for my intake. Anyone got any ideas? I'm...
