    automatic steering.

    got tags for my car, started driving it and realized it steers by itself, but only to the right. it has been aligned. also, before anyone asks, I dont have the pressurized and return lines mixed up. that's really hard to do.

    trunk rattle

    my question is, does anyone else's trunk lid rattle? the two skins on my lid produce a terrible rattling from almost anything. exhaust, closing the doors, the stereo, all make it clatter together.

    speaker locations

    thought for a brief moment about cutting up my door panels to put some 6" circulars in, and decided I wouldn't until all other options were considered. so where do you have your speakers mounted, other than in the rear deck?

    f-body split bench

    there's an aspen in a local wrecking yard, it's got a split bench,(basically two buckets mounted on a rack style mount, with an armrest in the middle) and it's the same color as my duster's interior and in good shape. they have a good bit of bolstering on the sides too. yard owner wants $35 for...

    strange discovery.

    i was just milling around and decided to measure all the 8 3/4" housings we have, and found out that the perches for a truck are the same width as an A-body. from pin to pin on the perches, they're roughly 43 inches. now from flange to flange, it's two inches (1.85"), which makes up for the rear...

    833 rebuild kit?

    picked up an A-body A833 for $250 and it needs new synchros and bearings, also the plastic speedo gear is ground to a fine grit in the tailshaft because the rear retainer slipped and was ovalized, allowed shaft play and also cracked the rear bearing. also because of the retainer jumping off...

    weight balance?

    hoping to hear from some autocross people in here. what motor,tranny and rear end combos are you running, what kind of balance do you have and what are some things you've done to get closer to 50% up front and 50% out back? G-machine is probably the direction I want to go with my duster...

    why a Ford 9"?

    DEFINITELY NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE WHO CHOSE ONE, but what are your reasons for it? the 8 3/4 is much stronger, has bigger everything (except of course, the ring gear diameter, and in the 741 case the pinion diameter). again, not trying to get anyone hot headed, I'm just wondering what made...

    today I am sad...

    ...because my parents have yet to let me work on my car. They say it's because I haven't earned it yet, even after working ALLL summer and the rest of the year when I was TWELVE to buy the damn thing, then working until about six months ago to scavenge the parts to get it roadworthy. why...

    7 1/4 questions

    I'm getting ready to drop a 360 into my duster... won't be able to get an 8 3/4 for a while. it's a '77 360, its completely stock other than a 650 Edelbrock on top, and I was just wondering how soon it will be before I have to drop out one seven and a quarter for another. it's just going to get...

    F body headers in an A-body?

    i was just shopping around for headers, and the more specialized you get, the more expensive they are. all I've been able to find are schumacher and tti headers. those are way out of my price range, and I'm worried about the fit. i know i shouldn't be so picky because of my situation, but i just...
