    85 SWB lowering

    I thought that it was lower than 4. I read somewhere, sometime someone was running 4 without notchings There was a post not too far back where people were say Crown was ok to run... nothing like DJM.

    Buying a tank that is made for fuel injection is about the only fix.

    85 SWB lowering

    From the factory, if I am not mistaken, there is a 2 inch rake. I plan on doing 3/5 and it being even. So you would be looking at 3/4. Crown has a decently priced 3 inch drop spindle for the front and then piece a 4 inch drop on the back, which should just be a flip/hanger kit.

    Headlight Upgrade

    I have a 2014 Durango and it has bi-halogen 9012's and they are balls bright. If you go that way, definitely do the 9012 mod! This is what I plan on doing.

    Favorite tool brand?

    I had a really good Matco guy, so like 90% of my tools are Matco. Snap-on is good stuff, but expensive. And the only two Mac guys I knew were complete assholes. I didnt like there stuff that much but I needed stuff and needed it now and it was their day. Most of it got returned. Craftsman will...

    Headlight Upgrade

    There are, and some one has done it, but... even as a luxury tech and with tech buddies, we arent fans of LED head lights. Someone also brought up light pattern and it being comparable to HID's. The pattern is spread and maybe blinding to others on the road ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    e320 wagon

    The 210 is a tank here State side. Serious, I have always wanted a 210 E55, but in the states, they did NOT bring a wagon over. If you see one, its gray market and a PIA to get parts, though, you can get them from the dealership. I havent seen a 210 state side with rust, even up north, but as a...

    O-ring for yoke

    I did not seal up the hole. I tried without it. Funny thing is that it only leaks on days above 90 degrees. Its cooled down to highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 40s and stopped leaking. silicon or epoxy? And I guess Im out $10, 10 fish sticks, and 2 hand shakes....

    Best budget V8 swap into a 1986 C10?

    $1000 is a good price especially if you get all the wiring and ECU's.

    O-ring for yoke

    It only took one day this time. The yoke is leaking... Is there something I should know about the slip yoke or is it all the same size? And Im guessing it needs to be pressed from the driveshaft, correct?

    You know, I always bust his ass about that. I ask if they need 30 minutes to reboot the computers every day.

    Vintage air, anyone used their products on a square?

    I havent put one in a square, though we did put one in my buddies 70 Chevelle, and I fully plan on putting on in the square. I guess working on Mercedes Benz for so long, and I guess newer cars in general, stepper motor is the way to go. When they go out, it can be a bitch to replace, depending...

    New Guage cluster

    Classic Industries has some that have Autometer gauges made into the dash too that are sweet. But I have a feeling that since all the gauges are mechanical, there are no "plug and play" clusters.

    what brand of fuel do you run in your square?

    Like for the QT, hate that you usually get 93. There is a drag strip north of dallas (actually really close to where I live in Denton) but, back in the day, if you didnt get fuel before you get there, the only place to get fuel is at a truck stop that only carries 91. And this is when they began...

    fuel pump question

    Even better. The old pump must have been an old rebuild able pump. I'll take a pic of it tomorrow. So the fittings to it were smaller. Funny because at one time, I was just going to order a replacement hard line from the pump to the carb but that wouldn't have fit. So I had to run to AZ anyways...

    fuel pump question

    If I didnt need it on the road in like an hour, Id deal with it... what was the saying about necessity and ingenuity?

    fuel pump question

    As per one of the Chevelle sites, usually AC vehicles came with a vapor return. The return is too small, .060" for liquid to come out and only vapor to come out. They also put them on vehicles that needed the return if they had a lot of vapor lock. Seems like plenty of guys are running this...

    Best brand of fuel pump and sending unit

    I never put them on anything again. Hell, it was 1997, I was 16. I mean, I thought I was a bad ass then. 10 year old car. got fairly good gas mileage. was quick enough for a bone head 16 year old with a lead foot. At least it was a manual.

    fuel pump question

    On some quick research, the one that I have on the truck looks like it might be for a 2nd gen or early square body. if so, why the vacuum port?
