It surely is. I used a ball joint press and a regular 20 ton press and an air chisel and a torch and it goes forever lol- TravisB

Pick the fav car you owned but follow instructions:
My top 4 won't knock anyone's socks off like some of the previous. In this order is how I would rank them. 4: 93 Chevy C-10 Stepside - This truck was a 4.3L with a 5 speed but had the Silverado trim so was pretty cool. 3: 93 Mustang Coupe - This car had the 2.3L 5 speed car which I put an old...- TravisB

Help with cam selection
I have a set of 186 heads which are pretty similar to those you mentioned. My local machine shop quoted me $400 to put hardened seats on the exhaust side, check them for cracks and grind the valves and stuff so they were read for a new install. Your machine shop may be different but wanted to...- TravisB

Not sure this fits this thread but if any of you are near this guy it might be a good source of parts. I didn't call but he's in PA advertised down here in KY. https://eastky.craigslist.org/pts/d/new-kensington-california-square-bodys/6929605876.html- TravisB

69 GMC C-15
Maybe these links will work. Timing is around 5-6 degree advanced at idle. Interestingly with the vacuum advanced connected or not it didn't really change. https://photos.app.goo.gl/FY3kbniygnB5zkmQ7 This what happens when you whack it open fast. https://photos.app.goo.gl/A1BH2ePaHdgueczy6...- TravisB

69 GMC C-15
Well I still haven't found the problem but it does have a real hesitation if you whack the throttle open real fast. Revs good if you roll into it though. Probably need to check my plugs after the super rich conditions from the flooding before. Also found my new filter gasket leaks but the old...- TravisB

Still on the stock dizzy and I have not checked the dwell. I replaced the points and condensor in 2011 maybe. That could be my issue but it's not had 3k miles put on it in that time. After the carb rebuild and it was still doing it I started to think it might be in the spark side of things too.- TravisB

It appears that driver comfort was the last thing on this builders mind when designing this heap. That wheel and those pedals? How awful. I have a set of those seats too and they suck real bad. Why not make the cage worth while by putting some braces down to the bed since it already has the top...- TravisB

Get ready for the worst photos of a fuel tank you've ever seen. My seat doesn't tilt forward so this is as much room as I have without pulling the seat. You might have to wait until upholstery time lol. We're in luck! I found some of when I had the tank out years ago.- TravisB

I've not been in the tank yet. new one in the carb though. The tank is on the to do list because my gauge isn't working from a sank float or bad ground maybe.- TravisB

2015 Camaro V6 2LS
That new ones base model will be as fast as the current z06. I can't see this new one being anything but awesome. They've made mid engine vettes in the past but they never hit production. Its just good sense of you can go as fast with 200 less hp by putting the engine behind you stick it in the...- TravisB

By hand today. Took my whole lunch break and then some lol. I didn't think it would take this long. I still have all the trim, the hub caps, around the windows, tail lights, and the back bumper to do. Then a wax job. It still has an off idle miss. Not sure if it's the carb or maybe electrical...- TravisB

Good news gang! I put the carb back together, no left over bits to throw away outside of some extra gaskets and junk from the kit! Even better news, the carb is back on the truck, it started, and with a bit of monkeying with the idle air screws and the idle speed it's holding almost 17-19in-hg...- TravisB

Well I went ahead and pulled the carb off. Tore it down and have half of it soaking in parts cleaner and will have to work the other half in after. Got one of those gallon of gunk parts cleaner with the little basket inside. We'll see how that works. It has a pair of 52s inside if anyone was...- TravisB

Those have been on the to do list for a while. I've been busy working on the 78 and neglected this one. I'll hopefully get around tho those soon. I'll keep this in mind when I do. Thanks!- TravisB

I have washed this thing, clay barred it, wet sanded it with 2500, and now made one pass over it with a DA buffer + orange medium cutting pad + V34 from the chemical guys. It looks better than it ever has while I have owned it. If I follow their path, I am supposed to buff over that with V36 and...- TravisB
