Neighbor has an 80s Chevy truck I did a bunch of work on earlier this year. Truck has not started for the past three weeks so I had to check it to see what was wrong since I worked on it last. Had spark and when hit with Ether fires up so it was a fuel issue, gauge shows a half tank so it must have gas right? Dump a ga...

I guys my dad has a 396 Big Block that we are thinking about selling. It is pretty stock motor. It has a carb and intake and runs great. Does anyone know what a good value would be on this. We pulled it out of our 68 chevelle. Thanks

This is a NOS 1/4 panel I had in storage. Looked pretty rough before stripping. Amazing what a good stripper can do. Chad saw the possibilities. Karl

The guys on ThirdGen.Org nailed it with this stuff! Start with a fresh paint job and keep changing every few years if you desire. This Camaro looks so bad a$$ done in this wrap I was shocked. Getting tired of the flat black scene untill I saw this car done. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/auto-de...

Way back in the 70's or early 80's does anyone remember a guy by the name of Donald Wooten? Drove a supposed green or Daytona yellow LS6 Chevelle (not sure which color it was at that time)... Doing a little research for Rick Nelson

Does anyone remember a Champion Chevrolet in St.Paul? or even Minnesota in 1970? Or a Guy who owned an LS6 named Donald Wooten?

I turn the key to the "on" or accessory position and I have no power. But when I turn further I can get it to turn over. Not sure what the issue is? This did have an HEI before so I don't think it's the fusible link. I did get a new alternator, but it is a two wire that should work with the external...

Hey Tim what is with the green car in your avatar? Do you now have a 2 headlight Chevelle of your own?

Dave Seitz · Dave Seitz

Yes as the title states save your brass if you shoot. I found a way to reuse 22LR brass even so If you do shoot save the brass whatever caliber you have we can work out some type of trade if I have the dies for it.

60 and 70 ish instrument lighting was provided by a 194 bulb. If I remember correctly there is also a 184 bulb which one is brighter?

It's in and it's working!

This should make building a transmission crossmember a whole lot easier!

Didn't lose any trees, a few more large branches though (in addition to the ones from Thursday night). Power has been out nearly 12 hours / 8pm last night. John Jr said the power was cut off from Minnetonka Blvd going north (about a mile to us), and who knows how much further north. Looks like we'll be do...

I guess I'm getting old... My Chevelle has 10+ year old Magnaflow mufflers and it's much louder than I like at idle and REALLY loud under throttle (now that I can hear it with the engine running good!). Even with stock exhaust manifolds it's just as loud as it was with headers which tells me the muffle...

Sitting here listen to the rain and thunder and you have to feel sorry for all of the MSRA participants and the fear of hail they must be going through. Looks like it is going to be a long weekend for them.

Went to Rock Falls for the muscle car drags on Saturday and ended up with my first racing trophy. Not as impressive as the collection in Keith's thread, but I went 3 rounds and ended up 2nd in the 12.0 class. I got beat in the final by reaction time, my .223

This is coming up next week... it's a timed endurance/speed run for Model T's that has been held annually since 1961. I have wanted to do it for years, but honestly I'm not a good enough T-mechanic to build a competitive car. Some day I'll do it though... www.montana500.com Here's a cool video from 10 ye...

I don't remember who I spoke to but someone recommended a company on the north side that did a good job with convertible tops. I noticed a fluid leak (turned out to be the pump) when I put it into storage last fall

and I also need to have a water leak taken care of. Any suggestions would be appreciate...

I just finished a 66 SS Chevelle. The engine is a 69 427/435hp Corvette engine. 4 speed 4.10 12 bolt. I'll post a few pics when I get it figured out.
