The guys using the C5 master cylinder are using it on power brake cars. The reservoir is to hight and hits the hood on a manual brake cars plus the hole for the shaft in the piston is a shallow hole not a deep one that is required for manual brakes...

Wanting to address my wire harness issues in my 74 and am looking for opinions of if I should instill a painless harness or rebuild the one I have. It was butchered years ago when I bought it and my modifications haven't helped. The fuse block is broken and hangs loose and the car has many...

I would sure like to know what I was doing wrong the. I have tried running a hydraulic clutch on three projects and have had a very bad experience every time. Leaky HTBs are usually my problem. Tried running a Howl and a McLoed on my T5 before switching to a Z bar setup. Sent from my SCH-I500...

Ok so here we go. My year has finally started to calm down after my last year of moving and having our second kid. Now the last several months I find my doing more and more side work out of my shop:crap:. Now I need a name for my shop and would like something more creative than Davis Auto or...

Well Thursday the 13th we had our second kid. Adelyn came into the world at 8lb 10oz and was 21in long. So needless to say I have been busy playing baby since then.

After our move earlier this year I am finally in the process of building a new hobby shop and thought I would show it off as its being built and get some suggestions in the process. It is going to be a 45'x56'x16' with three overhead doors on one of the 45' ends. Well it is getting framed for...

Thought I would check in since I haven't been on here much this year. I have been so busy since mid Dec that I haven't had time to get on any forums or work on my Vette. To start things off in Dec I tore my truck down for a paint job, rust repair, and color change. Then in mid Dec we closed on a...

Brake clean will also remove most cheaper paints and not affect the clear coat that is on them.

Well I finally got my LS1 project. I picked up this 99 LS1 with a spun #2 rod bearing. http://www.vettemod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7280 Well I finally got it completely knocked apart and off to the machine shop. The crank required 0.020 on the mains and 0.030 on the rods to clean up. The...

You need to make sure you have the right length ball stud or your clutch won't work.

Clamp the part of a cap that is sticking out of the shaft in a vice and smack the shaft with a rubber mallet, flip over and repeat.

I really don't understand what you want. You say you want to upgrade and use junkyard ready parts. This is about as cheap and easy as you can get for that. Also you are never going to get the maximum fuel mileage without doing some tuning yourself or taking the complete car to a tuner shop. You...

COP = Coil on plug

Also I know you are a 200r4 guy, but this would allow control of a 4L60E or a 4L80E trans that would make many guys happy.

What you want is a 411 PCM GM used that computer in like everything between like 2000 and 2002 so they are all over for cheap. You shouldn't have to pay more than $40 for that PCM from a junkyard. The thing with that PCM is it was used to control the LS based engines in C/K trucks, vans and in...
