Find a gas station with ethanol free, spend the extra money. 100% worth it.

Thank you all, I had no clue there was much more than dynamat or some of the smaller brands. With my corolla not to concerned about the heat side, just with a 2in exhaust and resonator i want to get the sound and vibration down. With the charger i am concerned about heat because i have seen...

So before i continue i know im about to get picked apart so ill get it out of the way now, I bought an 86 toyota corolla. Everyone done laughing at me? Okay heres my siuation. I was holding off on doing the carpet work on my charger till I could afford to do it right the first time. Well I...

Id be carefull about the spring in a spring. I did that and it bound up and didint "return" all the way. I know they have ones meant for that at autozones in the "Gm flashy performance" section.

Call your local muffler shop and ask them (if you have one). From what ive been told, it all depends on what and where your powerband is. The cylinders are dependant on backpressure to suck out all the burned stuff. Too large and you will rob HP, too small and youll restrict HP. Different...

That looks like it was made, most "pre" done are all one solid piece. Dont be scared to make your own, the tool to bend is the most expensive part, and a flair tool will make those lines nice and tight without leaking. Took me at 22 with no experience a total of 30 mins to make mine very similar...

Not me. Though I am smoking a whole bird.

I suggest checking the ads on craigslist in your area and close by for "parts" that would match your truck. They do that alot down here, they will have a car stolen and sold for parts in a few days.

so my charger cam with a set of 19mm locking lugnuts. I dont have the key to it and it looks like whoever attempted to remove the wheels before me didint either. Any tips or tricks from the wise men at the beer cooler? I just have the front bearings to do and Ill be good to drive it around town.

I havint been on here in a while! Had some issues with my last job, had a supervisor dare me to find a better job in this economy (was UPS), two days later I handed him a two finger notice and went on to be a supply tech for UFhealth with better pay, benefits and hours. So now that I had some...

I know the rears and trunk lid are not interchangeable with the 71-72, the front fender im not sure on though. On the 73-74 they have a curve at the end slightly if i remember correct.

Take sythetic rubber, put in ethanol, let dry out. Its now a powder. An engine built for E85 will run E85 more efficently than one not built for E85, just as a jet engine burns jet fuel more efficiently. Paper or cork gaskets will not survive longer than a few years with it. And it causes...

Normally id stay out of this kind of conversation and im leaving anything political by the wayside. But E10 is HELL on EFI systems. It gums those up like no tomarrow and it will destroy the rubber seals around the fuel injectors, it shreds apart head gaskets, burns hotter in the combustion...

Finnally, got it running after what, a yearish. still some tweaking needed, but hey It drives. http://youtu.be/V8m_0O8cZLs Ignore my failed burnout at the end, lol.

Lol it was the wire to power the guages. Strange thing was the fuse didint blow on it. But oh well i did just make sure nothing but the ignition was in and got to ride around the block a little. So i am happy. And that sucks rusty, my mom and stepdad just both had that happen and they moved to...

Well, Found out they were autolite 26s that it needed. I got it to start and it sounded perfect till the dash set fire. but it STARTED!

So I got the correct sparkplugs in, the correct gap, after a year of tinkering, started it up, and poof. :angryfire: The dash wires burned up. Talk about some bad luck. So im gonna take some time to go over the body now, but man, I wanna throw my biggest wrench at it right now. lol

So in short, i have a 318 car that was upgraded to a 440 with ALOT of different parts. They all match up, and they are all in good condition. Im thinking about taking some of these parts and selling them, and using or making better parts or parts that suit my style better. An example is i have...

they are 77 i assume, because thats the year of the block.

Not saying this is the best way, but when i fix stuff like that i ask, what purpose does it serve. Do i need to keep the fix hidden, or can it show a little? If you have the studs, just find some industral plastic glue on it and let them sit for a day. If not you can always make some from...
