    Who here runs a custom center link with intentional bends in them to clear obstacles underneath? If the link is fabricated to have a few bends in it to clear stuff and has the correct length and OD of the original, will it work?

    This question is pertaining to my last about distance from the oil pan floor, so if the oil pump pick up is too close to the oil pan sump floor, can it suck it up to a certain degree? I ask this because both my old pick up and new one supplied with the deep sump 7 quart pan are hanging a 1/2...

    Oil pick up openings depend on what?

    Is there a reason for an oyster type oil pick up opening as apposed to a boxed opening like the one below in the second image? It seems the stock oyster type has very small reservoir provisions to hold oil? Am I correct? Does the shape depend on the types of baffles/trap doors that the oil pan...

    Let's make sure to keep ourselves updated on the return of Stinger/AAR fiberglass.

    A friend is anxiously awaiting their return and keeps asking me, but I don't know anymore than anyone here. The statements from the company are exciting, but the dates are vague and I don't blame them. They're probably going to be overwhelmed with orders in the first few months. Anyway, if...

    How to preserve original Casler Cheater tires.

    I was gifted these original (not recaps) Casler Cheaters along with their respective inner tubes from a friend that had 'em in his climate controlled basement for 50 years. They were mostly in the dark and only have about 20 runs on them from an original Max Wedge that he still owns. Of course...

    Dirty plugs. What say ye?

    This is what I found in cylinders #1 and #3 after a few modest outings around town including a couple of full throttle bursts. But for the most part, was mostly low speed idling and street cruising. Not enough room in this city. I might first have to lean out either my fuel mixture screws on the...

It's originally a Brooklyn car and was red from the factory with the grey interior and then was painted black with metal flake/lace paint sometime in the late 60's or early 70's. Which is the...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Weight, Ballast, Pounds, Mass, Lard, Fat, Pork, any which way you cut it and name it, carrying the heavy stuff can and will hinder a cars performance and longevity, especially off the straight line type.

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    I've towed on an open trailer here and there over the years and wondered if any of you are concerned with the transmission being in park gear or neutral. As you all know so well, even though the four straps keep the car stable somewhat, the car still rocks back and forth and I was thinking...

    This may not be the thread for this section and it may sound stupid or even naive, but I figured that many on here would have a solid answer to my question. If for instance you are pulling a U-haul open car carrier /trailer with a truck from Michigan with Michigan plates to go pick up a race car...
