    Carpet Question?

    Order while its warm outside. The carpet comes rolled up and if cold will take awhile to come back to shape. When you do get it, lay it out for a few days.

    Shaker questions

    Something to keep i mind is the height of your carb. If your using an intake that's higher than a factory one, the shaker will hit the hood. I have a 383 and use an Eldebrock Performer intake because its the same height as stock. There is a 1/2" spacer, but its needed to help keep heat from...

    Death of a Prius

    Once on Graveyard Cars they were starting a hemi dual quad for the first time after rebuild. When it fired they said "Every time one of these start, a Prius dies". I bet I laughed for 30 minutes after hearing that.

    Distributor Performance

    I ordered some orange Firecore plug wires for stock 383. I told them not to send them FedEx because they have issues finding my rural home. They said no problem, they would send them USPS. A couple days later, they called and said they messed up and they will be coming FedEx. 2 weeks later I...

    Rallye Cluster clock question

    There is a very small screw inside the knob. Go to Wal-Mart, Ace, etc and buy a Jewelers screw driver set. Caution......... When you get the screw loose, hold the driver inside the screw until you can get to a nice clean area before you pull the screwdriver out of the knob. The screw is very...

    440 with 4 barrel carb issue HELP

    I would hesitate before blaming it on ethanol. The US fuel supply has had ethanol in it since the 70's. Its not new, only the politics have changed. I've never had access to "pure gas" and have never had any fuel issues.

    Did chry ever make a functioning fresh air twin scoop hoods

    My shaker has two holes. One on each side in front with a short hose pointing down. Each is about where the intake meets the valve covers.

    Window Adjustment

    Be sure and check the window alignment after opening and closing the door. A couple years ago I had to re align mine and thought I had it perfect. THEN I opened and closed the door and it was set way too far inwards. All adjustment areas will need moved. A little here and a little there. Have...

    Intake and Shaker Hood Clearance Question

    I can't give you any part recommendations, but I can tell you from experience with my Cuda that not every car has the engine and/or hood sitting the exact same heights. 1/4 - 1/2in will make a difference and can be fixed with spacers if the shaker is too low. I suggest that you start with a...

    Tremec 5 speed Pistol Grip shifter ?

    Where is a good source for a new Hurst pistol grip with 5 speed cap for a Tremec TKO500 ? I've seen several on Ebay and other places, but I'm not sure how good of quality they are. Also, does the 2bolt 71-74 pistol grip have the same bolt hole spacing ?

    Pcv valve

    PCV is located on drivers side valve cover. It has a hose that goes to the carb. The breather that you have pictured on passenger side needs a hose going to the air cleaner. Take the PCV off and shake it, it should rattle. Keep prying on the breather. It will come off. When you do get it off...
