This video has some great tips on installing the big-block intake manifold correctly.

Lowes has all different sizes. Measure the pin diameter to make sure but here is the 5/32-in version for $0.76 (4-count). Take the emblem with you. ;)

Here is the diagram for the rear defogger with dual rear speakers and photos. The defogger fan goes to the rear and the speaker is mounted to the front. An easy fix. This is so the speaker sound can be clearly heard.

@Logger10 One thing I noticed immediately after the solid-state IVR installation was that my fuel gauge now registers perfectly FULL after a fill-up. I attribute the newly found accuracy with having a true 5VDC at the gauges versus about 4.4 volts with the original, mechanical IVR. I have...

That hole is not damage. It is normally D-shaped.

Check with NS1 AAR (Bruce Somer) about restoring your 3-speed wiper motor. BEFORE & AFTER photos below.

Within the last year I had a local buddy in need of an IVR3 from RTE but their was a supply delay. I had mine on the bench and gave it to him until his order arrived. That took weeks. High demand/low production parts are like that. Hopefully, you get an answer shortly but RTE is a reputable...

I did watch the SST video and quite a few other videos for checking the runout. It is not that difficult once you run through the process.

Obviously, I am not going over all of the basic mechanical for aligning a clutch/pressure plate in order to install the transmission but here a few of the photos I took. The transmission went in fairly easily up until the last inch or so. SST is rightly adamant about not using the transmission...

Next was to install the clutch and pressure plate with the bellhousing. I painted the bellhousing and inspection cover the normal street hemi orange. The setup of the hydraulic Mantric Clutch Slave Cylinder (CSC acting as a throwout bearing) is part of the bellhousing installation, too. The CSC...

The setup of the bellhousing runout to index the crank register and bellhousing to within 0.005" was a learning experience. Not complicated but needs to be done correctly. Once you run through the process a few times it is not too bad. You will benefit (on big-blocks) with a flywheel turning...

The next step was to remove the factory crank pilot bushing, clean the recess, and install the supplied pilot bearing. A bushing extractor tool removed it with ease and the new pilot bearing was installed as per the instructions. Next, the flywheel was thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaner and...

Actually, the TKX fit with far >1/4" of clearance all around but was tightest at the very top (1/4") resulting in the engine/trans being tilted downward 3.45° with a supplied crossmember spacer. SST supplies spacers to raise the TKX in the SST crossmember but raising it too much will cause the...

727 Automatic Transmission Removal: The circa-1999 TCI Streetfighter transmission has worked perfectly for 25 years. The valve body was modified back then using a B&M Manual Pak forward-pattern kit which removed the need for throttle-pressure linkage but required manual shifting using the...
