    EFI conversion questions

    Wow lots of input. In my opinion all are pretty much correct. Carbs are great, cheaper and really call to the mechanic in us (i.e. see post about carrying Carb Kit Float, etc.). I prefer EFI and instead of a carb kit I carry my cell with a hook up to the EFI, same thing different day :)...

    Mecum Charger

    Encase anyone doubted what I was saying. Also the 68 isn't done, and at the rate I'm proceeding with the dam restoration it may never be. If anyone knows of someone interested in buying a 4/5 completed (in paint now) 68 big block matching #'s let me know :)

    Mecum Charger

    I agree with both sides, restomod and traditional, since they both have their upsides. As far as price, I built a 69 vett convertable restomod and then restored a 68 vett. I can tell you I'd take the restomod route any day! When you consider the time and money I spent on NOS parts and...

    Mecum Charger

    $ are all about whats the next hot item. Bought a manual wide body hellcat a little over a year ago and just saw one sell for about 10k over what I paid, yeah! But it wouldn't surprise me if this changed next week. We should consider ourselves lucky, since most of us on this forum have cars...

    Slowness Thoughts

    It's very hard to diagnose a car when you're relying on a forum. While there is allot of experience here based on what I'm reading, I'd suggest you find a knowledgeable shop or person to look at it in person.

    Clinking sound coming from middle of engine

    I couldn't listen to the video but based on what others are saying, I'd first try to pin the noise down, if you don't have an engine stethoscope use a pipe to determine if its top end or bottom end. Usually if its knocking its bottom end and if its more a high pitch its likely top end. If its...

    Best typ of cars to buy (in my opinion)

    Buy the car that you've always wanted and unless you live in the garage as I do (wife is very understanding) hire an expert to evaluate the car first. Don't buy on passion alone!

    Should I be concerned?

    All good advice. Start with the gauge and/or temp gun and I would always recommend a shroud. Next step bring it to a rad shop and have it checked, do a visible inspection (green staining). Unless your planning on increasing HP you don't need an aluminum radiator, since the stock radiator is...

    Magnum Force Suspension "Don't Do It!"

    Once the stuff was installed it's pretty solid but certainly I wouldn't do it again. I will keep an eye on the welds, since we all know while they may look pretty it doesn't guarantee quality. Will also keep an eye on the coilover mounts, I don't like that they mount to the stock sheet metal...

    Magnum Force Suspension "Don't Do It!"

    I just joined as I want to help someone else avoid all the headaches! I purchased a full front coil over and Dana 60 from them, about $10k, in January 2021. Starting late March I started questioning where things were by late April Jen indicated her supplier of rear ends (Strange) wasn't...
