    How to deal with that snoring noise?

    I guess I deleted the pictures when I rewired the starter. I took some old spark plug wire header boots to slip over the wires to protect them from header heat melting them. You could slide them on where it rubs and secure with hose clamps or zip ties. They're made of tuff material and would...

    Spark plug wires

    I went ahead and spent the money on a set of msd wires for my 454. They fit really well and look good. Had a set of Taylor wires on before these. Not a bad set but I like these better. Jmo

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just put new tires on the camaro. Got a pretty good deal at discount tires. I have only bought tires from them for years now. When they replace them with a new one for 19 bucks it's hard to beat that. I went in to get 2 front tires for the trip to califukya because they needed to be replaced...

    2015 Camaro V6 2LS

    My key has been not releasing when I turn it off. Been a couple of months now gradually getting more often. So I watched a youtube video and it was so simple to fix. Thought I was gonna have to put new ignition cylinder in. I was able to fix it at lunch today in 5 minutes. Pull the cover off...

    Do I need different gears with 33” tires and 4” lift

    This is what I got on mine. With 454 and 275/60/r15. I'm really happy with this setup. I think my next set of tires will be slightly taller than the current ones. GM Chevy 8.5" Chevy 10-Bolt Rearend TrueTrac - 28 Spline, Gear, Bearing Kit Package - 3.73 Ratio https://a.co/d/iwpp6SG

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yup, they're starting up masks again and a brand new jab too. Be ready for an attempt to lock us down again in December. Sad how many sheep will obey the same as last time. This guy won't wear a mask or take a jab. My immune system will handle it if I get it.

    Intake Manifold Install

    This is why I'm glad both mine have carbs on them. Although I'm about to chunk the Eddy on the 84 and replace with a new quadrajet. No check engine light for me! Hope you get it fixed.

    Starter shims?

    This makes some sense because he bench tested it right in front of me and it function right. I thought the clearance was too tight and it wasn't letting the starter draw the gear back properly. But what do I know.? I do know fixing the $hitty wires to the starter on the 82 fixed it. So might...

    Starter shims?

    Because it was making that noise and it didn't before. All he did was replace armature, brushes and bushings Because he showed me how bad the old parts were. So I thought it should bolt right up. Then it made that sound. I have gotten 2 prior from the auto parts houses and neither were close...

    It had a new armature and bushings replaced. Teeth on flywheel are not damaged either.

    Starter shims?

    Put all the shims on the starter and it still grinding a bit. Should I put more on or what? It didn't have any when I pulled it and had it rebuilt. So I'm at a loss here. Here's a video of me starting it and noise it makes.
