April 26th of 2025 was my last contact with him. And please don't think I'm bashing him. In my conversations with him I believe he's a wonderful person. My only issue is that after sending him photos of my motor in need of restoration, he would contact back then not provide a cost or an...

I tried to use Topher McGuiness after seeing multiple positive comments about his work and reasonable costs. After my 8th attempt to begin the process he messaged saying he'd recently had a Grandchild born and wanted to spend time with family and that he'd reach out to me within the next week...

I held onto a rock solid 3 speaker / AC core for 3 years. Sold it in July and I was lucky to get $100 at a swap meet. It literally sat for a year at $150, after I held firm at $200 for 2 years. I finally got to the point where I was perfectly content passing it along cheap to someone who can...

I'll take #6

I'll count my coils tonight.

Mine is a 4 speed. And I'm not sure exactly what the issue is other than the pedal doesn't return and I have to jiggle it. I'm hoping a 2nd spring will resolve the issue. I'm certainly open to further thoughts. I've lubed the linkages and checked all things that I can see.

I would guess that it is. Many times when I'm driving my pedal wont return to idle position and I did notice it has only 1 spring presently. It has a complete Edelbrock RPM package on a 340. Maybe that info could be helpful?

I need the small return spring that goes inside the bigger one. Can't seem to find one anywhere. If you have a spare, I'd be interested in purchasing. Located in Northern IL

Hello from Rockton, IL

I used Herbs. And I have zero regret.

Hi Rich, The rarity of your particular car is determined by several factors such as engine size, trans, factory options, color. If you could throw out either a fender tag or the first portion of your VIN a production number can be known. Perhaps not down to the color. But I can tell you how...

(Following) Always open to new ideas if they seem logical.

Great question! And it's something worth pondering on if you get nervous at renewal time. For me, at least as long as I've subscribed I've always found the magazine to be worthy of my money. It's really not expensive in the big scheme of things. I think my last annual was $45? I don't...

Thanks so much for inquiring. Though I do think they're pretty cool to look at- I'm only looking for 1 or 2 Y1 containers with at least some paint in it.

If I can find someone with a hoard of them I'll certainly let you know! : ) Merry Christmas
