Where does one find exhaust system parts.. Ill have factory manifolds on the Olds engine in the Astre and will need to fab an exhaust system.. So where do you find the parts to mount up to the donut or flange on the exhaust manifold? is that type of item available in stainless?

Here are the pics I took from the show for those that could not attend. It was actually pretty empty, but as usually some crazy nice cars including some Northstar members. One of my favorites was the non-restored original Daytona Winged Hemi. Original owner. Amazing. Can't imagine what it was w...

Well I decided to spend the $50 to see where my car was delivered and when the production date was. Just got the information today. Production date was 12/23/1965 and built at the Flint plant. Is this the date it went into production or the date it was finished or the date the cowl tag was generated? C...

Looking to get some more opinions. Talked to the Chris P last night about this. I am debating on getting a new distributor from MSD that will allow me to change out the stop advance bushings to dial in my timing better. I have the distributor that came with my engine when I bought it. Not sure if it is an M...

For years we have been hearing about how torquey engines should have a dual plane manifold... Yet I dont think Ive ever seen EFI with anything other than a single plane? Am I missing some ? Maybe you guys have seen more of the newer stuff than me..

I need to stop inviting him to go to car shows. Invited him to go the King Of Diamonds show yesterday, and he won the Heavy Hitters Best of Show Choice with his '69 Mustang. He is a friend from work, and he won Best of Show at the Stewartville 4th of July show I was at too!

Seriously, he and his wife r...

A few years ago, some of you went to Brett Berg's shop to meet him and see his pulling tractor. (Unfortunately, I was not yet a member and was not there.) Brett is a friend of our president, Craig S. My only connection with Brett is from quite a few years ago when I was a tractor pulling fan. Brett and his Dad (...

When I got home from Car Craft on Friday, gear oil all over, Pinion oil seal is leaking again. I though I had the issue solved; but taking the pinion flange off again today.

Got this with some carb parts. It's the wrong primary shaft for the carb it came with. Thinking it is for a 4150, it came on a 3139 carb which is a 4160. Thanks for looking.

This weekend I was helping a friend look for a new motorcycle. I was in Scandia at a house and in the corner of the garage stood this sun equipment.

Not sure if anyone else buys from them, but I received an email on this sale so had to stock up on Aluma Blast, Cast Gray, and Chassis Black. You can save $5 or so per can depending on the product. Tim H. hooked me on it, and it is good stuff IMO. Sale Link

Maybe I will have to take after Kevin and buy a 65 GS Convertible. Seemed to have all original sheet metal in good shape; but I would have to craw under it to make sure floor and trunk are good.

Happy Fathers Day to the Dad's in the club. Extended ones too, for all that you do for your kids (i.e. starting cars in -20 degree weather, making sure they have good windshield wipers, and that they check the oil at least twice a year LOL)! I took the family to Famous Dave's last night for 'Dad's Choice'...
