Fuel filter Reccomendations
(Preview)
A friend of mine is installing a new carb on his car and bought an Edelbrock fuel filter. He opened it up to inspect and it appears the chrome/coating is flaking off inside because the filter already has debris in it. He was wondering if there is something that people have had good luck with? All I have is t...

I have a Cooling Components 2 speed fan on my '38 and it never seemed to move enough air, even though I have it wired for high speed only through the Dakota controller.

Auto City Classics Alum Radiator-Anyone use one?
(Preview)
The 383 I dropped in runs hotter than the 350 I took out by a good 15-20 degrees. On a normal day without the AC running it stays pretty much at 185 to 190 degrees (185 degree stat). Now when I turn on the AC, it jumps up to 200 to 205 quickly and creeps beyond that if I'm stopped. I currently have a stock 3 core...

Can someone recommend one or two painters they've used in the past? My current painter has blown me off now for the 4th week in a row and my car is in the same condition it was 5 weeks ago.... I have to imagine that a small factor involved is that he owes me money. I only have a fender to touch up along with some...

Sad story involving an El Camino locally

I feel horrible for the two gentlemen that passed away, as it sounds like they were out for a test drive for a potential sale in a '70 El Camino locally that got into a terrible accident.

'62 Impala seat upholstery

Changing out the seat upholstery in the '62 Impala. Quite the fight to get it pulled to the back of the frame to hog ring down. I had to let it sit in the sun for 1/2 hour to get hot and stretch, but it looks pretty good. I couldn't get the piping perfectly straight, but maybe it will shrink some now and tighten...

an epiphany regarding 71/72 models

It never occurred to me until today. 70 and earlier Chevelles have teeny tiny 5" headlights while us with 71/72s have big ol' 7" ones. I will avoid any allusions to adult humor (as you should too) and say only this: It never really was something I ever thought about. I guess I assumed that they all used th...
