I see you have to have an overflow tank on you're radiator to pass tech at the dragstrip. Anyone know how big they have to be?

I just got back from there and I gotta say, I wish I knew about him sooner. I was going to order a couple Lokar parts off ebay but he had the cable kit in stock for LESS and ordered the pedal assembly for next week and that was about the same but without shipping.

Shannan and I took the scenic route home as we often do. We stopped and ate dinner at the Pizzeria. While there about 25 cars rolled in many with numbers on the door and drivers still sporting name tags. They all ate in the same separate room. I'm pretty sure they where a group of Derek and Scott's autocros...

I tried to catch this with all 1's but there wasn't any place to pull over safely. It had 348,000 when I bought it.

I am looking for a business in town that I can get some upper control arm bolts in the next few days. I have checked Friendly Chevy, Napa, Johns, O Rielly, TNT. Any other ideas where to get some. The bolts I am refering to are the splined ones that kinda look like wheel studs that go in the frame to hold upper A...

Went to check the diff fluid tonight, and the 3/8" square on the plug has been rounded in the corners. Tried a few things, but couldn't get it to budge. Any ideas?

I don't know if it was the cool dense air, putting the 3/8" spacer back under the carb, or what, but the Chevelle was running great tonight! I wanted to gas it up for the track this weekend, so I put the 3/8" Edelbrock spacer back in because I couldn't use it before and get the hood closed with th...

Hello all, new to the forum, I've been reading for a year and finally decided to join and post. I'm in the middle of a rehab project and could use some help finding a part.

Question to all those who have done the conversion to a 200r4? As part of the conversion the crossmember gets moved back about 3-4 inches.

Just got through calling a recycler in st. paul. Quote me about 215 a ton for cast iron. Did I hear him right? If so that works out to around $1 a lb. Maybe I will have to call that guy back with the chevelle that is pretty much ready for the chruser.

Well as far as I could determine this looked like a pretty good block; but who know. No visiable bolt hole problems, repairs, etc. Deck look good, no indication of water corrosion due to a bad head basket. Appears to be standard with a ridge on the top of the cylinders. Appeas to have original caps with...
