Post a Parts wanted ad in the sales forums.

No phone numbers in ads.

Yes. A pm to me would be fine. I check in a few times a day and Joey the owner is here daily as well.

From the staff, If you are the middle man on the sale, post it in the proper car sale forum following the sale rules. I wouldn't post her contact information. You can share that through a personal message. No need for scammers to get her personal info. Do your homework on a value through...

Start a Parts Wanted thread in the Swap Meet/ Classified forums.

I have seen stock low performance fuel pumps put out over 12# of pressure. Check the line pressure at the carbs with a t and a fuel pressure gauge. Thanks for letting us know it's a 6 pack set up. (at least we think it is) If it hs Holleys, a backfire could cause a blown power valve and a rich...

Those were transition years going from the standard LA to the roller cam block, used in some models but not in all. Carburetor to the...

"That combo is “partially” pushrod oiled. The rockers have no oil holes in the pushrod cup, so the oil coming up the pushrod only lubes the pushrod & rocker interface. The rest of the lube requirements for the head are still handled the traditional way." From an engine builder on another site...

That's a cool story. Oh, those were the days!

Not until the Magnum. If the engine came with rocker shafts, they oiled through the deck and heads and not the pushrods.
