    New impact: air vs battery powered?

    I mainly use my 19.2V craftsman 1/2 impact and 1/4 impact. I like them for their portability when I’m out on the farm working on equipment in the fields. I also always buy a second battery when I purchase any battery powered tools just so I can always have a backup when needed.

    Need some help with tire fitment

    What are you using to lower your front end? On my 87 15” stock rallies won’t fit with the 2.5 drop spindles and 2” drop spring. The wheel rubs on the caliper but only in one small section of the wheel, as if there is gunk build up on the inside of the wheel or it’s out of round. I haven’t...

    87 TBI to carb swap question

    When I did my efi to carb swap on my ‘87 I ditched all of the stock fuel system. I bought an in-line electric fuel pump that only puts out 4.5gph so no need for a regulator. Using a blazer tank mounted where the spare tire was, in-line pump and fuel line is all I have now.

    I think I have a combination now. Front:225/45/18 Rear:255/35/20 or wider 295/30/20 That would put the 18s sidewall .5” taller than the 20s.

    That’s exactly what I was having issues with when trying to pair tires. My opinion is the fronts should have a smaller sidewall while the rears have just a bit taller. Camaro still looks good btw.

    Might have to I’m hoping to hit all the car shows in town and in LS when they have em. If not every Sunday it will be cruise day with the ole lady. Winter time won’t even leave the garage

    I should have said a taller sidewall versus being low profile. Yessir I understand tire aspect ratios. I was using that site to compare sizes and find the right match. Which now when I think about it, The front can be 26” tall while the rear is 27” and still achieve the “cheap” gear change...

    Maybe for the weekend cruiser it’ll be okay. Just rotate side to side. Front wheels can’t be wider than 8 so rotation is out of the question if I go wider in the rear. The fatter tire in the rear with skinnier front tire is an awesome look in my opinion. That’s what I am after.

    Good point, I had forgotten about tire rotations.

    Anyone running...

    staggered wheels on their lowered squares? I was thinking of 16/18 or 18/20 combo but cannot seem to find the right tire combination. Either the fronts have too thick sidewall or the rear tires are too tall. I’m lowered 4.5/6 and I have seen some out there but they do not lead on to what tire...

    Advice on rebuilding control arms

    The ball joints are different sizes. Believe you can get a sleeve to weld into it to accompany a 1/2t ball joint. I bought a pair that I was told were for 1/2 tons and realized when I tried to put the spindle on it that it would not work. Too much work imo so I just rebuilt my stock ones.

    Advice on rebuilding control arms

    It took me a week to do my lowers. With that said, I sand blasted and detailed them. Doing the bushings on the lower probably would’ve been about half a days work. If you have a press and air tools that defiantly speeds up the process. I bought new upper control arms from Summit since no where...

    No availability for 1/2 ton lower arms?

    LMC sells “remans” and for $300 you can rebuild them for a fraction of that. I ran into this six months ago when looking for my 1/2ton. Seemed difficult at the time to rebuild the stock ones but actually was not that bad of a job. Look at my build thread, near the bottom of page 24, I have...

    Hooker "Header Back" Kit Install...?

    I’d say you’re probably right. My kit had three long pipes. Two exactly the same with the third looking like the one you’re struggling with.

    stock 1987 r10 305 build up on budget

    Also one thing to note be careful building up your top end with out paying attention to the bottom end. Don’t want to throw parts at it only to blow out the bottom end. That’s worse than being back at square one.

    Flo-Tek Aluminum Heads

    After watching the above video I might be going with the bare heads and buying parts separate. Do it right the first time kind of deal here.

    Thanks for the video! I’ll check out his other videos and hopefully learn something. I was watching AGearHead4Life and learned a bit but not much.

    Flo-Tek Aluminum Heads

    I wouldn’t doubt that. I will defiantly look into and compare and see what will work best. Most of the machine shops locally are never in a hurry to get things done.

    Flo-Tek Aluminum Heads

    That is why I did a bit more reading and found that Edelbrock may be the way to go. I have not searched the cost on a bare head, valves or springs. Heck I would not even know where to begin on what I would want/need. If I was more experienced and could do the valve job myself it might make sense...

    Flo-Tek Aluminum Heads

    I emailed them and the customer rep assured me that like all aluminum heads on the market they are all cast over seas in China. Told them thanks but no thanks I am positive there are aluminum heads made here in the states, cast and assembled. I was looking at the E streets for now. The only...

    Flo-Tek Aluminum Heads

    I was flipping through the latest LMC catalog this afternoon and I must have missed a few issues. I never noticed they offered aluminum heads. I knew they had performance parts, carb, HEI kits, headers and LS stuff etc... but never saw the aluminum heads list. if you haven't seen looks like...
