Hi.. Went for a drive on Friday, temperature was 85F +. Car runs at 180-200 F most of the time, cooler on the highway. But Friday the temp was up over 210F driving thru town. Might have got to 215F but I was back on the highway in a few minutes and she started to cool down to 190F. When I got home in the garage I l...

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-d3968a Anyone ever heard of these, or had one? Kind of embarrassing who spanned 40 years in GM parts to admit he's never heard of these, but I've never heard of these. I was piddling around on the AC Delco site to see what all they had listed for my car and this...

I wanted to put a nice new shiny exhaust system on the 396 car so I ordered a system off eBay. I picked it up in Ohio on my way to the car show. After seeing it I figured I would use it on the L72 car -- Edited by 70 SS ACADIAN on Monday 8th of August 2022 08:27:53 PM

Yet another incident that I cannot explain, hoping someone here can. Rocker tension seemed ok, can tell in the images that the nuts are not loose. Replaced the bent rods, replaced the rockers with roller type, then the other side did this:

Hi guys, I recently installed a new carb on the 68 2+2 and I am wondering what this rubber hose is for, coming out of the bottom of the breather. Does it attach to the carb somewhere or does it just dangle ? Regards, Scott (LandShark ...)

Hi all, so the F40 RPO all our aussie cars got is for heavy duty front and rear suspension. I know that means 4 link and possible shockie ratings but what is the difference for front suspension over standard? Just shockie ratings? cheers all.

I have an aluminum rad in my 67 350 crate and air conditioning. I have a flex fan and a spacer to position the fan. What I am experiencing is the temp continues to rise when left at idle for a few minutes. The temp will go to normal once I get moving and get some air through the rad. I want to consider putt...

Never too old to learn. Today I decided to work on getting a spare starter for a big block (or manual trans small block with 11" flywheel) with the cast iron nose.

Many of you may know that our 60's GM's had some special starter bolts for the starters that had a cast iron nose. I believe this nose was used exclusively on big blocks and/or small blocks with the 11" clutch (168 tooth flywheel) The original GM number is 3733289 for this bolt and it's not just a plain 3/8...
