    BURNOUTS, donuts and general showing off? Proper procedure??

    For what they want there is no need for speed. You should be able to control the burnout by feathering the throttle (no need for super hi revving) and riding the brakes. Once they get smoking you can keep it going with the brake pedal. You're doing a side show!

    If your car is B5/B5 what color is your interior metal trim?

    I have had success using delfleet essentials on areas like the interior and other less important areas. Adding a flattener makes the magic.

    To Resto or not, How do you decide?

    Build it the way you'll like it. I recently worried about the way my car handled. 68 Coronet 500 - 440 engine 727 trans - super bee tribute. Tires and big sway bars made a huge difference and did not break the bank. Tires are 15 inch, fronts are 225/60 and rears are 295/50. It had rear air...

    Rattle Can or brush on engine paint?

    If you want to get fancy go buy a quart of PPG Delfleet. They have color chips by the thousands. It also needs hardener and activator. It is single stage, easy to use and gets very hard.

    How many shop hours?

    I recently swapped out my 391 and installed the 323. The actual time to remove, install and set up the axle bearings took about 3 hours. If I had paid a shop to rebuild the 3rd member going back in that would have cost around 1800 here in San Jose. Good luck and welcome to the expensive world...

    Steering Wheel - Restore or Replace?

    I restored mine by removing the plastic surface. It had been ruined by years of baking in the Nevada sun. Then I found some heater hose that I split so it could wrap around the metal wheel. I then stitched a gray leather kit around it. The other parts were just painted.

    I pulled out the 727 yesterday. Fun! I'm going to keep the normal kick down linkage and use a 3000 stall. The old atf was stinky.

    Engine Turns Over For 20 Seconds, Then Stops

    Short bursts of cranking will eventually bring gas to the carb. Much easier on engine components than long bursts. You could connect a remote starter switch and test to see if the problem is in the wiring between the starter relay and ignition switch or elsewhere. If the problem does not repeat...

    A518 in my 1968

    I just priced out the 5 speed kit. I have done 2 before in GMs. Silversport was over 6k and American Powertrain was over 7. Yikes, I'll stick with the 727 for now.

    Hello again. Mine is a 1968 b body with a 440 and 727. Will the A518 fit behind my 440? The 518 is an overdrive right? Or please help me with other auto trans ideas. I would like to put the 391 gears back in.
