    How to clean gas tanks

    If i could hijack the thread and ask another, related question: How do you clean the tank out so that you don't get blown to the moon if you want to do some welding, cutting or drilling on it?

    Any good hacks/upgrades you've come up with for our trucks

    Please list part # for the mini-starter and where can i get the bolts (besides salvage yards) IF in fact you do need different bolts for the smaller starter.

    About how much needs to be added after new trans install?

    Does anyone have any idea of how much more transmission fluid needs to be added to a new/reman trans install? 1) Reman TH-350 which was filled by the rebuilder. 2) i flushed the cooler, but that was only a few pints. (stock in-radiator cooler 2wd) 3) The new converter was filled with about...

    How to tell roller cam or not

    So, we agree that the 4.3 v-6 DID get rollers in 87 and beyond? :) (i saw my 87 before in put the intake on..........) Anyways, if i wanted to switch to roller cam on an sbc that did not originally come with one, then all i would need are the lifters with the link bars? (and obviously a...

    The el cheapo 1978 4dr nova base

    Another good thing about these novas and other X bodies is they came with 8.5" 10 bolts, i think? P.S., the 78 i owned briefly could run 15.5 1/4 miles times bone stock. LM1 350 and i think 3.08 rear gear.

    Need high quality transmission seals........

    Does anyone know who makes, or where i can get high quality transmission seals? Specifically the dipstick and kickdown cable seals? These would be the "top hat" type. This is for a TH-350. i know you can get them at the autoparts store, but i'm unsure of their quality.

    Engine mount/trans support bracket

    Not necessarily; My 4.3 (from private owner) came with these; A lot of 4.3's came with TH-400's (not sure why.......) i'm not sure what they are for, but i'll try to get a pic asap.

    i may want to take the grill and rad support off.............

    What would be involved with taking only the grill and radiator core support out? Not the entire front clip. (This is an 83) Since i need a new trans, the engine could use some engine stand tuning AND i need a new radiator, i'm thinking this is a good way to go? Although, if too much work, i can...

    Equal - Tire Balancing Beads, No weights to Lose

    i think this is called "match mounting?" i think there is a machine that specifically determines the optimal positioning for the rim and tire in addition to balancing? https://www.hunter.com/wheel-balancers/road-force-elite

    Need a good TH-350 replacement:

    Looking for a good quality TH-350 transmission replacement. Must be 9" tailshaft, thank you. Unfortunately, TCI is out because too many bad reviews. This is unfortunate because the street rodder model is a direct bolt in. i am waiting for ATI to get back to me if they offer any with a 9"...

    How do you know when it's time to replace u-joints?

    Is there a way to check the condition of u-joints? Or do they start making funny noises etc?

    85 fuel economy and IMPROVEMENT?

    i know higher gear does not necessarily mean better mpg, but lower rpms generally does mean better mpg.

    85 fuel economy and IMPROVEMENT?

    1) i don't think a high schooler would/should be doing that much driving, so perhaps the question is moot, IF i may be so bold to say so sir? In other words, the money spent on improving mpg will possibly never be recouped (at least not during the course of a high-school career), since it would...

    How to spend $1500 on engine upgrades

    1) Can you take a picture of the rear diff and/or the rear wheels? 2) Now that i re-read your first post and realize you have a 2bbl, then i might also suggest an Edlebrock performer RPM intake and a quadrajet in addition to my previous suggestion of a good set of headers and dual exhaust...

    How to spend $1500 on engine upgrades

    This is just my opinion, but: 1) Compression and leakdown test. 2) If everything checks out, then a good set of headers and dual exhaust and that's it. Also, as blue said, what is your rear gear ratio?

    Tire Crud on rim flanges, before and after:

    i didn't see much of this elsewhere on the net, so i want your opinions: i am going to be using Astro wheels. These came off of a 98-2005 from the salvage yard, i don't remember. But obviously they have some rubber crud on the rim flange: i decided (on my own opinion) to try to clean this...
