1999 454 carb swap. best street carb, 600? 650? 750? CFM
With the extra fast speed racing SM465 manual dump truck box. It is such a not speed racery kind of transmission, but it is what is in there currently. When the L-29 goes in, I will be replacing the SM465 with a 4L80 and be just that much cooler. I might even get 13 MPG then...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
My IT175 started life as an IT125, but has since been upgraded to the 175 size. I have just been slackin and have not done the maintenance on it to make it a full blown runner. He just wanted to have a bigger 2 stroke than I do....- Catbox

She wants to add the AC back to the car eventually. One of these days we will however be removing the smog pump as it is not even hooked up to anything. Just spinning in the engine bay for nuthin...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
The one you can see is the Yamaha IT250 he picked up for $350. It needed the head and jug to be drilled and tapped for larger hardware as the PO stripped them out. But now it runs like a champ. He was putting new tires on it over at my brothers while he dog sat for them while they were on...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
While we were waiting for the car to warm up for the RELD test, it felt like the time to fiddle with the new tools. So we got out the Anemometer to measure the wind speed of the stock cooling fan for the baseline before any upgrades are made. 1,142 feet per minute. Mmkay. So some...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
Now to dig in. First off was the thermostat. Its bolts seemed to be held in with putty as they did not want to turn on the way out for anything. You can also see the "Newer" water pump that is already on there. I wanted to have piece of mind on this car and they are not that expensive, so we are...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
Well then. I put the old radiator back in and hooked the whole thing back up. Filled the system and turned it on to warm up. Got's me out the RELD kit to perform the test. Simple instructions. Put fluid in to create a liquid trap any gasses have to go through to escape the system. The fluid...- Catbox

1995 Suburban Family Battlewagon
Score from marketplace. Max saw this for sale and sent it to me for review. I told him to reach out and see if it was still available. Yes it was. I gave him the cash and sent him off to fetch it. What we have is an Edelbrock Performer TBI intake and a TBI unit off of a 350 truck. Guy was...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
Last week he installed a set of air shocks so he could actually use it without bouncing the axle tube off the frame while doing it. He went and picked up his dirt bikes from my brothers house and it went much better going this way with the air shocks...- Catbox

1999 454 carb swap. best street carb, 600? 650? 750? CFM
I will be running a 750cfm on my 1997 L-29 Vortec Big Block when the time comes. The current trucks big block runs a 750cfm and we can get between 7 and 12 mpg with it, similar to the worn out Q-jet it replaced. Mine will be a Holley as we have several at the house and all the tuning parts for...- Catbox

1954 Chevrolet Bel Air
Tired of this little devil sitting around, I have ordered up a bunch of brake parts from Rock Auto. All three soft lines, brake cylinder rebuild kits for front and rear, some wheel bearing seals, and a couple of master cylinder rebuild kits. For closeout savings they had a belt for $2.01 as well...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
Last week Junior found a set of 15x10's for the rear of his truck to go with the 15x8's he has for the front. He ended up accidentally buying a 5x5 lug pattern for the rear instead of the 5x4.75 he has. But since he already has spacers on the rear, he simply purchased a new set that has both...- Catbox

What new tools have you got lately?
Yuss. I totally didn't take photos of it yesterday. Here we are. The video on Amazon seemed to make it look super easy to check with. -
1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
Also, that cement mixing pan is awesome for catching the fluid from this job. Much easier than trying to aim it into a bucket. All of this stuff is waiting to go in as well. I got a new water pump for the because of it and they are cheap insurance. This one is from Dayco and it came prepainted...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
We got started on the R&R of the cooling system on this thing yesterday. First I poured in a bottle of cooling system flush and fired it up and let it run for the 20 minutes the bottle says too. After that I wanted to test out my swap meet Snap On pressure tester and it held pretty well. I...- Catbox

What new tools have you got lately?
Air speed tester for finding out what these cooling fans are actually putting out. Pretty nifty little doo dad for $30 on the Amazon. Before we get to far with the new radiator in the Camaro, we wanted to know if there was any deeper issues. So I found this little combustion tester as well on... -
Let’s see your memorabilia?!
I bet not many of you have seen this.... Yup. A General Motors furnace. Back when I was a service feller, I ran into a few of them. When we replaced one I made sure to keep the door from it for the badge. I have another badge in the garage that is in better condition as it has not sat outside... -
