Alright guys, I need a little help. I'm trying to sort my power steering lines and I'm running into a problem which I can't seem to find an answer. I have the pressure side pretty much sorted. The return from the valve to the pump, though, has me a bit stumped. My stock return line just makes it...

:cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing: I'm at the end of my rope. I'm hoping you all can give me a tip or two on U-joints, specifically with the half shaft flanges. I cannot seem to get the U-joint 'inside' the flange enough to get the clip in on both sides. I've tried cleaning and smoothing the...

So as I've written lately, I had a flood in my shed, which caused me to go through my parts storage system (read "pile"). Here are a few parts I'd like to sell because I just don't have a use. Keep in mind, these WERE under water during my flood! First up, stock '75 4 speed shifter: The only...

As related to my flooded thread, I'm looking to get my vette off a roll-on lift and into the garage before winter hits. However, I just discovered a new issue. I had Gary go through my rear end last winter. I'm now a proud owner of a super 10 bolt :D But, this means the current U joints at the...

How's everyone doing? I haven't been around much since I haven't touched the vette in over a year. Not by choice, life always finds a way to get in the way. A lot has happened, but I digress... I was somewhat fortunate with this Hurricane Sandy. How have you all made out? :rain: I was about...

Hey guys, I noticed there's a few welders on here :lol: I'm looking for a welder and two have caught my eye. The Hobart 210MVP http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200479230_200479230 The Millermatic 211 Autoset with MVP...

Yet another wiring question, bare with me... As I was checking out how to wire up my start and alt, I took a good look at my wiring and I'm not sure it's in the best shape. The insulation is still flexible and isn't cracking. However, I have some things I'm not sure are repairable. First up...

Hey guys. After a long hiatus due to personal conflicts (good and bad), I'm finally back working on my vette after almost a year. I'm making progress on the LS1/T56 swap, but one of the biggest issues I have currently is wiring. Very much the elephant in the room for me. One of my hold ups, and...

...you find some interesting "gems" on the internet. There's a site I check out once in a while called "That Will Buff Out". It's all about automotive miss-steps and oddities. Well, I came across this little wonder today...

Hey guys I need some help quick. I'm in the middle of modding my trans cross member and I'm now stuck on driveline angles. For reference, I have the Inland Empire Driveline: Power Train Set Up pdf downloaded that Garys 68 gave me for reference. Here are my issues/questions: I'm having a hard...

Looking for a '70-'74 gas tank in good shape. It has to have at least one connection for vent or evap canister. I'll take just a filler neck as well. Thanks!

Yeah, I didn't think it was real either. Someone posted this link at LS1tech. I thought some of us would enjoy it. el linko All I have to say is... o_O

So I'm looking into fuel line for the LS1. I don't plan on using my hardlines due to age and location and I would like to run -6 braided from the tank to the rail. I've read here and elsewhere (as well as seen) that braided and regular low pressure fuel hose cannot handle today's fuel with...

Hey guys, I've been chugging along on my swap slowly but surely :smash: The theme of the winter/spring was wiring, and lately I've been working on wiring up my gauges and finalizing the engine harness. With that, I have almost finished my gauge wiring. The 5 center console gauges are all ready...

Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on some gauges for the project, but I'm looking to settle my soul or hear something new. I'm looking for all new, electric gauges and I've always had the thought I would go Autometer. However, are they the best choice? They are the big name out there, but...
