Went to Wheeler today and ran my engine on the dyno. Went well nothing came apart and made decent numbers. Was hoping for a little more HP but the torque was where I wanted and that will make it a nice street engine. Here are a couple pictures, I'll try and post the video in a bit. -- Edited by 67ss on Wednesd...

So I wanted to check the overall health of the mystery 350 SBC motor in my Chevelle, and checked the cranking compression of each cylinder when the engine was cold. After reading more on how to do the cranking check, I realized I was supposed to have taken all of the spark plugs out then install the gauge...

Looking for a recommendation on upgrading from front drums to discs. Looking at this Wilwood kit: Wilwood Brake Link I don't want to go any bigger than 12" rotor's to stay within a 17" wheel. Thanks.

When I built the shop I used 4ft Fluorescent lights and as time has gone on they have burned out ballasts or gone dim. So along with the smoke and dust from the years shop is getting dark. Of the 16 lights only 3 are working with both bulbs, 4 completely dead, remaining 9 only have one bulb. Cash is a bit tig...

Never seen this one before but I like the fact it uses vehicle speed and a throttle position input to control when the TCC comes on and off. Never used this kit myself but I see their are a few guys swapping in 200 transmission in the near future. Might be something to check into if you are keeping the TCC. ...

Mom's moving into a new house end of the month, so I've started to get some of my Shtuff out of there. One of the bigger pita's to move was my Dads Snap-On roller cab & top box.

If anyone has a need for some of these, let me know. I needed some for the Blazer project, and the only way I found them was a box of 100 Au-ve-co.

How many members here are on Facebook. · 67ss
