Clutch question?
(Preview)

The whole car vibrates quite intensely. When I increase the RPM it overcomes this but its not really what I want to...

I had my engine built in 2006, and chose an entire valve train from Comp Cams. I actually picked it up from Year One just outside Atlanta while in the area visiting family. From the start I had weak vacuum, resulting in non-working power brakes. I've tried a few things, including changing the intake...

Powershifting a stock Muncie shifter
(Preview)
These things always get a bad rap. I rebuilt it with a new thicker shim, pivot pin and adjusted it just right. I'm not ready to blow up my 427 if I miss a gear but tonight I had the urge to do what I said I'd never do to this car, powershifting, just not at full throttle... [video=https://www.youtube.com/w...

1966 Pontiac Grande Parisienne -427 engine looking for the original car

(Preview)
I was fortunate to own a 66 Pontiac grande pariensene with an original 427 390HP in the late 80's. Like a doppy kid my desire was for the motor, not the car. In 1988, I pulled the 427 out, installed a 396 in the car and sold it to a guy who took it to Fort McMurray and have since heard the car is in Banff? The 42...

What axle ratio would you go with?

So I'm contemplating building up the bare 12 bolt housing I have sitting. To go into the 65 post project. Need a winter project I guess. Reason being, I'd like to be rid of the 3 arm 10 bolt. I'd probably not even notice, but I'd still know it was there. Plus the 10 bolt is leaking like a sieve. The current gea...
