    '77 Vandura radio not working

    I dunno then. I remember always seeing them this way. And I just put one into my daughters Camaro with the wires listed above. I will have to double check to see if I got the red and yellow operation backwards as there is no diagram on the top of her deck.

    Welcome from Oregon. Standard internets protocol states: "Pics or it didn't happen" Rules still apply here as we internet friends need to be fed a steady diet of photos from others to keep the balance right. Don't let @Rusty Nail find this thread with no photos.

    Dead in the water.

    Good job on catching the no impeller before you installed it. Even better on Summit admitting their boo boo and giving you the refund.

    '77 Vandura radio not working

    The radio should have 3 wires it needs to operate. -Black for ground. -Red for 12v constant power. This will be fed from the battery all the time. -Yellow for 12v switched power. This will be switched from the key. Then you will have the speaker wires. This is how most work, but I have not...

    The Best Carburetor?

    If you are so inclined to start looking at random carbs from strangers, here is where to look before you buy. 2 years ago at the swap meet. I spotted this Holley in a booth and it looked super clean. Price tag was $75 so I put my hand on it to stake it as mine for the time being. (It is seen...

    The Best Carburetor?

    Practice what you preach. This is for my big block, small block stuff is cheaper and more plentiful. I pulled this Performer manifold out of the swap 5 years ago for $125 and that was still a good deal. They are currently $368 at Summit and the ebay clones are $159. In 2022 at a different swap...

    The Best Carburetor?

    A simple Holley carb and a Edelbrock Performer manifold. Those would just about cover everything you will want. Ease of availability on parts and they are everywhere, so if you have an issue out of town parts will be around you. If you are savvy you can find both second hand in good shape for...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    Junkyard had a sale going on. I may have gone a bit overboard with finding different fans for projects. This one is a pusher from a 2006 BMW X5 with a 4.4L that augments the cooling power with the engine driven fan. This one is out of a VW Touareg and it is the same type of set up that I...

    Invision Gauges by Autometer

    I am not a fan of how much the look of the dash changed to use that. It took something decent and wadded it up into a smaller package that totally changes the way it looks. Like somebody with out eyebrows. Hard to tell until you know, then it is all you can stare at and wonder why?

    Will Headers work with TBI and older engine

    I have a set of pace setter headers made for the TBI trucks. I have not installed them yet as I have about a billion other things to do before that becomes a reality. But I have them.... Super thick flanges and they look to be a direct bolt on in place of the stock manifolds. If you don't...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I also like VW's and have one waiting in the wings for me to get to it. Hurst made aftermarket shifters for them and I have found one of the straight ones as well as one of the bent ones. These shifters were copied by EMPI almost exactly, so I have a couple of parts shifters that will be...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I found this cool trophy in the thrift store. No idea when it is from or what the racing class was. But I know its not new and it is pretty cool.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Found this in the junkyard back in 2020. It was old, so naturally I had to look it over. On its glass it had these awesome stickers and the car also showed signs of having go fast parts during some of its life... The car did give up its Hurst Pro-matic shifter to me though. It will get...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    We have done our best while raising her to instill she does not want kids until she is ready. That and she has good birth control going on. Plus my older brother had a '89 and he confirmed it was not a good place to be for those activities.... :chair: Worry not. They all know that I carry. Even...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    It seems to be a pair of tubes joined on the edge. It is difficult to see even with mine own eyeballs. Yes, the car has all the plastic bits on it as well as the ducting in the nose. I think it was simply like the rest of the car, not taken care of and abused. So we will flush it all and then...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Man. Rock Auto had this one fast tracked to us. Ordered on Monday and have it in hand Wednesday. If I had time currently I could start digging in, but alas, I do not. So I will just have to wait until the weekend and the rest of the parts should be here by then too... It looks like two 5/8"...

    Building a new motor for my 79 C10 - would love some advice!

    It all depends on what you are wanting to do with it. I will be building a 350 for my car here in a bit. I want it to be able to drive across the country as well as have some fun with the throttle. For heads, if it were mine I would stick to the 180 to 195cc intake port range. Myself, I am...
