    Is this on purpose or wrong part???

    If it was for a larger tube, you would have had to squeeze it together to fit in the holes of the top bracket. Yet you say "Everything is seated where it’s supposed to be". I dunno...

    Many times these issues can be traced back to a bad ground.

    Welcome! You reminded me of something my Mother used to tell me. "You've got champagne taste and a beer budget". I had to smile.

    Lost spark

    Is the rotor turning while cranking? You haven't said what manifold you replaced the original with? Make sure distributor boss is the same height as the one you took off.

    SOLD Please Take This 305.SOLD

    No experience with one, but everyone talks about how "gutless" a 305 is. What can be done, fairly easily, to beef it up some to add some torque in the lower RPM range, and boost HP a bit. And, is it worth it?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    As long as it's a Lincoln, Miller or Hobart they're probably pretty equal.

    White lettering in or out?!!

    I think white letters out are age appropriate for our trucks. Blackwalls look better on newer vehicles... '90s and up.

    Longer wheel studs

    Don't try to use the stock steel rim lug nuts on aluminum rims. They will require longer "acorn" type lug nuts, especially if the holes in the aluminum rims are countersunk. You'll have a hard time getting a socket to fit down in the hole. Even a thin wall socket. Don't ask me how I know.

    Stolen Squarebodies to be on the look out for.

    That's a nice '68. Looks to be the same color of the '70 SS396 I had... Shadow Gray.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Same valve covers. Just stripped and repainted the valleys. Also same air cleaner. New aluminum top I painted and added the mesh.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    A few minor changes lately... Before After Under the hood From this To this I have new longer chrome lug nuts ordered to replace the stock nuts for steel rims. Didn't think about the standard nuts being so short they would be a pain to put on and take off.

    Lower or not?

    Like Shorty & Termite said... Trucks don't deserve to be lowered with huge wheels and low profile tires. I think it just looks stupid! Do all that to a rice burner or drifter.
