    Should I trust Google Maps Speedometer?

    I'm thinking they will by looking at what everyone on here is putin on theirs. I have made no modifications to the body but, I am putting an 8.75 rear in the car that is the same width as the 7.25 that's in there now.

    Battery relocation- Does anyone know of an actual hydrogen sulfide explosion incident?

    I had an 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV6 and it was designed with a 50:50 weight distribution with the trans axle in the rear with the disc brakes inboard not at the wheels, the battery was also in the back under the hatchback. So as the battery got older and before it went dead on me, I was wondering what...

    Heads up on FBO Boxes

    I bought their ignition box (HRR688) and the Pertronix coil together and a distributor from HallifaxHops and the harness from YearOne. I started the car and it ran wonderful long enough for me to time the engine and then it shut off and would not start again. I checked the coil and I had spark...

    Any Of Yall Seen This Yet?

    Exactly! Too much fossil fuels being burnt and contributing to climate change so eventually they are going to shut down all motor sports unless they convert to battery powered cars like formula 1 has. I cannot watch formula 1 ev it sickens me.

    A904 Hard 1-2 Shift and Reverse

    Thanks for that Red. Ya never know what ya got until you tear it down. I hope it will be simple like you say but, hopefully I can adjust things on the outside like all the linkage and bands as has been suggested. And I will do what you say about shifting into neutral 1st to ease the pain of reverse.

    A904 Hard 1-2 Shift and Reverse

    I was about to make you happy by changing the points and condenser. Do you think the lobes on the cam are worn out. lots of metal shavings, or should I buy a new distributor?

    A904 Hard 1-2 Shift and Reverse

    I've got some reading to do! You are right about the history of the car, you just don't know what has been done to it. But as I stated at the beginning, this car is original, all the mechanicals need refurbishing. Well, I am comparing it to 2nd to 3rd is like butter and don't even realize I am...
