    Blower resistor

    I have eliminated my ac with a delete panel etc. I still have the blower but don't know what to do with the resistor. Can it just be wired without the resistor? I really don't think I will ever use it as the car is a summer vehicle. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jack

    lost the transmission

    On one of the hot days here in the Burg, I was driving my 77 on the interstate and lost my th350. It had a weak 1st but 2 and 3 were gone. I have been using synthetic trans fluid and it did not smell burned. At first I thought I may have fried it because of the 373 gears in the rear end...

    I think I have a problem with my Edelbrock carb when the car is run that shut down for a short period of time. I purchased an insulator ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-9265/ ) that goes between the carb and manifold. My question is do you think I need a gasket on either side or is...

    My A/C is not working so I guess it is time to try a fix. I realize the refrigerant is no longe available. Is a conversion difficult? Are there kits that are better than another? What kind of special tools will I need? Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack
