70's and 80's style cars
(Preview)
I don't usually pick up Muscle Car Review, but saw it at Barnes and Noble the other night and the cover story is 70's/80's street freak cars. I thought it was pretty cool as it is the style I am going with my car, although not to an extreme. It featured three cars, a 71 cuda with the custom 70's paint, a 66 chev...

(Preview)
I have to replace the stator support on my 200-4r so off goes the pump. I have heard you can remove them from the back with a brass punch and hammer, but the aluminum is very soft and the holes are at a hard angle, want to air on the safe side. Usually buddies of mine have all of the odds and ends tools, but no...

Best engine stand I've ever seen
(Preview)
I got to feel and play with one first hand and felt how nice it turned. You can adjust the tension on it so it will turn as easy or as hard as you want it. A little expensive but seems well worth it. Check out the web site. http://www.cmproductsstands.com/

I read in a How To book that for big blocks, roller rockers aren't really recommended because they don't allow as much oil flow to the pushrod. I'm considering putting stock stamped rockers in for a few reasons: 1. Reliability and repa...

Did I make a mistake on re-installing Timing sprocket and Chain? And do these #'s on the cam tell anything?

Didn't read the books first, so I didn't line up the dots on the sprockets when I removed the timing chain. Is there something to do to make sure it is back together correctly? Also, I now think the cam may not be original. Do the numbers on the front of the cam mean anything? I didn't pull it out all the wa...
