I've run across this on two different cars both doing exactly the same thing, get this: At low speed, just off idle, the brakes are locked up. As near as I can tell it is the rears. Putting throttle to it rocks the car but won't let go. Switch to reverse and car will roll. Switch back and you...

360/408 10.26:1 compression (actual), MSD 6AL ignition. Using Autolite 3924 plugs @ .035" gap. I've been told to gap at 0.045 as 0.035 is too little and may cause fouling and/or poor performance. Anybody have any research or experience with this?

I've tried replacing the cam(twice), first ones wires were too long, second one won't stay locked in place. Yes, I made sure the spring plate inside the swith was installed. (Read: frustrated with fool thing). At this point I'd like to replace the whole thing with new but all I'm seeing offered...

Perfect beginners car or starting point for your next project: /6 - 225 (fresh cyl' head & valve job) A/T (Just serviced), P/S M/B (all new drums, wheel cyl's, hardware & shoes front & rear) Good body, not perfect; but good Interior same NOT a number matching car; if anyone cares... Current...

Non dual rear wheel 9000GVW 4.10 open Dana 61. Here's the cool part; upgraded/updated engine with 94 5.9 EFI magnum engine (yeah, factory computer controlled NO carb') and 518 trans. Cal legal install. If you ever wanted the magnum engine to put into another or older vehicle in a drivable kit...

Forced induction 101: Is it merely a matter of saying a 2.5L engine uses one size "X" turbo, so a 5.0L should use one twice as big? Is this different in a twin turbo set up? Is there a mathematical jumble of numbers that calculates each one of these types of set ups? If so what is it? I...

Pluses and minuses or each. Your choice and why.

I'm looking for two (2) 7 1/4 Large bolt Circle, A body rear axles (complete) in the Los(t) Angeles, Ca. area. I'll have two (2) small bolt circle 7 1/4 axles in trade if needed :D. I'll take 8 1/4's, if I have to, and, sorry, 8 3/4 are just too expensive and a waste of parts for a tired 318...

Will the axles, and drums, interchange directly with the earlier 5 on 4" BC 7 1/4 or do you have to get the whole thing? I need to update two different A bodies for the larger circle, one I've put large BC disc brakes on already, so I need to make the rear wheels match. I'm about to do the same...

Anybody ever been to this? I was considering going...

As per request for Joe Dokes: How to EFI your fuel tank: pic1 - locate where sump needs to be and mark (it helps the radiator shop later) pic2 - drill holes at least one inch in dia. rear of the front edge of the sump and in the lowest portion of the tank. The sump gets used as a braking trap...

1970 Slant 6 225. I'm trying to find the right color for the engine but it seems to be an odd ball color. MP says it should be medium blue from 72 up to 83 for all production engines except 2.2L. But it is not the right color, it's too dark. The turquoise doesn't appear right either.What I have...

All that glitters isn't gold. It's not even silver... it's aluminum! One nut runs it out of oil and... (see pic) Looking for a 225 /6 in the Los(t) Angeles area. Somebody must be making a swap and needs it taken away. Somebody... anybody?

Can these models be told apart from the VIN (2nd digit L,M,H,P) or is this a data plate option code thing only? If so, how or what is the coding on any or either case? Problem: Looking at a 30+ year old car, that is now devoid of decals and most OEM paint, how can you tell what it is or what...

Been in and out for about a month chasing a car for the kids. So far no luck. I normally play in BBD.com but I'm open to expanding my horizons. Besides, info is info and the need, sometimes, is great. I'm not one who lives and dies doing info updates or telegraphing my every move via facebook...

Looking for a car for the kids (girls). This is the car they chose: 71 preferred but 72 Demon OK. Engine/trans combo doesn't matter. Already done cars may be too expensive. Looking for a reasonable car but not something rare or too pretty. Remember it is going to be a car for a new group of...
