    Cowl area cleanout, are these fasteners the original correct ones FINISHED!!

    I raid every one of those clips I find at the yards.....lucky to salvage 2 each time as they're just as dried out and brittle.

    Replace Steel Dash

    Drill out the rivets and transfer it to the new dash. I think they're called "rosette" rivets and they're available new.

    Electric Fan Temps

    FWIW, the late 90 - early 2000's Volvos had a 2 speed fan relay that was popular. I probably have quite a collection of them around here. Not sure of they'd be any help or something the ECU would do now.

    Electric Fan Temps

    I'm running the ProFlo 4 setup so there may be a sensor for the ECU to activate fans - I have enough schematics to sort without delving into that mess yet, so dunno. My Edelbrock heads each have a spot for a temp sensor (2) plus there is another port next to the thermostat if need be. I'm a...

    Electric Fan Temps

    What on-off temps do you fellas prefer? I'm trying to get wiring and such sorted on my motor but haven't bought a fan sensor yet. There's a spot in both heads - driver's side is getting the temp gauge sensor and the pass side is getting the fan sensor. Will probably put a manual override on both.

    Electric Fan Temps

    Great ideas - some along with what I thought it should be but wasn't sure. Thanks very much!

    Electric Fan Temps

    Do you guys run one constantly or always on a on-off sensor? Looks like the standard on/off sensor is 185/175. I would think it'd run about that regardless. Dunno. I'll be running dual fans with one either coming on with AC or manual over-ride when in stop-go traffic.

    Time to put a sound system in the hotrod, wanna bounce some ideas

    Best set of speakers I ever had was a set of Boston 6.53 - 3 way components. Had the 6.5's down low in the doors; 4" mid just above it where the factory 5.25 used to sit, and then the tweeters in the dash (where oddly enough, tweeters were with the 'primo' factory systems). Sounded incredible...

    Catch Cans

    Here's a crude drawing, but you'll get the point. I made mine and use copper chore-boys for the filter part.

    Catch Cans

    They make a 'baffled' grommet as well - might go that way. A few years ago I was building a 'special' 4cyl turbo and made a large catch can out of aluminum.....the same size as a vapor canister so I could mount it with an existing bracket. I made 2 (maybe 3?) of them at the time.....one is...

    Catch Cans

    Does anyone think the (cheap) baffles that go in the valve covers for the breathers or catch can plumbing are even necessary?

    Rock Auto Discount Codes

    Was weird....had to buy 2 new O2 sensors for the wife's Subie......$208. I tried 8-10 for the month of March and none would take. Didnt say expired or anything just didnt work. Needed the sensors to get them in by this weekend so hit go anyways. Just tried same order with yours and WFO's...

    Catch Cans

    I noticed a couple guys were talking of getting a catch can - but there was no follow up. Did anyone here ever get one and how did you plumb it for 2 heads? I used to put these in turbo 4 bangers all day and loved them. Just not sure about the V-8......a Tee from both heads to the one can? What...

    Vacuum Reservoir

    The ball looking thing on the driver's side......I have pics but the lone vac line disappears behind the motor - cant figure out what it connects to, maybe the cruise or HVAC? With a Vintage Air setup, I wont need it for the HVAC. Not sure what I'm doing yet with the cruise. Just wondering if...

    Brake Booster Vac Hose Size

    So maybe that 11/32 (.343) claim wasn't too far off? Thanks fellas - I owe you all yet another beer. :hat:

    Brake Booster Vac Hose Size

    I almost thought they were closer to 1/2". ?! IF I have my old one, I have no idea where it is.

    Brake Booster Vac Hose Size

    Does anyone know the size of the vacuum hose for the brake booster? Gates claims its 11/32" but I know that check valve is much bigger than that. I'm getting a vac fitting from the intake to the booster and need to know what size the barb has to be. THX

    Rock Auto Discount Codes

    I think they stopped doing them. All the codes I found were current - when I entered them, they didn't come up as 'expired' - they just did nothing.

    Rock Auto Discount Codes

    Anyone have a current RA code? I found about 10 online and none of them work. Maybe they quit doing them altogether? THX

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    Almost hard to believe its this extreme, but my friend's brother is retired (38yrs) from Ford in KY.....said that last month was the first time in US automotive history, that not 1 new Ford truck was sold anywhere in the US. Detroit news showed 100s of acres of Ford trucks sitting....it was...

    Easton Is Graduating Thank You all for your help GMSB!!

    I remember 18.....some 40+ years ago. Savor the flavor of your youth buddy - it goes fast. The time spent with your Pop is also priceless. If you were closer I'd hire you to help me finish mine - lol. And OMG....did you get taller fast. :hat:

    Installing Sensors

    I saw a video of a guy using Loctite 242 on air fittings instead of tape and it worked perfectly. I see they have a 'liquid teflon"....sounds promising.
