    Harbor Freight Flashlights/Batteries

    put it in a freezer or outside in the cold, the temp might help the battery shrink and then be removed.

    Harbor Freight Flashlights/Batteries

    Their magnet back free lights are handy when working on shut but not reliable so only get them when they are free with another purchase.

    Down the road planning vortec/4l80 swap

    Easier yeah but gains are minimal, do the 5.3/6.0 with the 4l80, you will need a 241 with 32 splines to match the 80 or you will need to swap out your input on the t case. Same for the 4500.

    Let's talk oil

    I just spoke with them yesterday about getting another case. They told me some of the formulas have changed so make sure youre still getting what you need. I was running the 7/11 10w30 diesel oil in my car due to it running warmer than I care for but have to re-evaluate now.

    The dumbest purchase you ever made

    if its a real arcade from back in the day it may be worth it but, you can download emulators load onto a $35 computer, build a cabinet add a screen and be able to play any game ever all the way up to PS2 I believe.

    The dumbest purchase you ever made

    I was actually looking at cabs to replace the one on it due to rust along with all the other typical rust on these trucks... never would have been broke even much less be profitable.

    The dumbest purchase you ever made

    Still worth it if it keeps her from trying to say its yours. The V10 I just sold, it was rusty and looking around I over paid for it, dumped a bunch of money and time in it and barely got more than what I bought the truck for.

    Is a Spark Plug...a Spark Plug??

    Was that supposed to 10:1 or 10.9:1? either way look for the NGKs list of plugs and the break down of them.. each number represents something like thread size, amount of threads heat range length of plug outside of the engine etc.. once you find all the details of the recommended plug write them...

    Let's talk oil

    if your engine has a flat tappet cam you need to make sure it has the proper amount of zinc to keep from wiping the lobes.

    305-400 SBC swap - Radiator Question

    That depends on how it is built, the stock radiator in my 79 vette couldnt handle the 406 in it before I got it. The PO changed it out to a brass 4 core and it still overheated on him. Since buying the car I have swapped to a core alum radiator and it is better but still not right.

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    My point was the oil fill hole probably doesnt have a baffle like the pcv valve and maybe where your oil is coming from. Sorry didnt realize we were talking about a wee6

    I put in a new Spectra dist in my truck when the old one died and have the same dist. in my vette no issues,just not cheap, looks like I need to shop around more before buying.

    1988 IROC-Z

    sounds like its time for a $500 beater with a heater and time to build that engine like GM should have...Any intreset in a holley stealth ram intake for that car lol

    I wouldnt reuse and old dist. the bushings may be about worn out, whatever you decide check with cam manufacturer and see if you need a melonized gear for the dist. since thats a roller cam. I know stock cams dont need them but not sure about the hotcam.

    350 Distributor Recommendations

    Its all personal preference, I have never had good luck with anything Accel so I wont buy them. I like MSD and Mallory but they can be very expensive. Something else you might want to consider and this is how i have been thinking about stuff lately... If it breaks down how long will it take me...

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    First I can tell you that a hole in the vc without a baffle will allow oil to reach the pcv valve/breather/rag , My vette burns oil on high rpm runs because there is no baffle in its current VC and didnt do that before I changed them. If you are driving like this you could be pushing oil out by...

    Vortec valve cover accesories:

    The problem I ran into with my swap was the vortec covers breather hole was to big for the tbi tube to run from the VC to the ait cleaner spacer of the TBI. I quit messing with it and put my swirl port VCs on the vortec heads. The VC in the first post dont look to have an "oil cap" and look to...
