I was afraid to look at the back! But like why would anybody think to do this?

Is there an electric pump that doesn't thump so much you can hear it inside the car? I have a chepo one that is loud even though it is mounted on rubber shock mounts to isolate it from the frame as well as rubber hoses to shield transfering pulses to the hard lines but to no avail! Maybe...

I installed an S60 Differential, I measured for driveshaft shorting about 6 times. I think my shaft is too long as it bottoms out on the trans shaft and forces side movement to the tailshaft seal since I've had to replace it twice. and my leak doesn't go away. As you can see there is less...

The Leon River (Gatesville, TX Show) was pretty well attended (over 150cars) for the forecast of heavy rains that finally showed up for several hours! Some of the roofless roadsters became tubs! Discovered my wipers wouldn't park! I was in GP#5 1980-Present! Got a plaque for the "I love...

Is it OK to give an Attaboy to Classic Radiators from Islip Terrace NY? I purchased a replacement (Made in the USA) for my original 87SS that sprung leaks everywhere. They built it in one day shipped the next and I got it and installed with everything matching the OEM one. It was not...

I replaced the PS Pump on my 87 SS since it developed a small drip drip from the outlet fitting on the body. I went back to Autozone and inquired as to the warranty on the pump I had purchased 8 yrs ago, Sure on problem! Took the old pump back and they exchanged it ( they stocked it) no...

My 87 SS Harness Connector at the back of the gage cluster is bad. Does anyone have one with about 1 ft of wiring (uncut) that is will to sell? HELP!!!!!

My friend's 68 Firebird fuel gage jumps all over the gage from full to empty when car is moving. Still it stays steady. Pulled the fuel sending unit and it only shows 45ohms should be around 90? in the full position and 0 ohms in the empty position. As I move the float up to the full position...

So after fighting for several hours I was able to remove 6 sparkplug boots, The other 2 will rotated a little but will not pop out. I see there are dozens of different shaped pliers for removing the boot. I have a ZZ4 with the angle plug heads and Hooker Comp long tubes. Any idea which tool...

Everytime I work under the hood or at a car show for a long time, I disconnect the Hood Light. Added a switch to manually turn off the light. Simple splice into the black power cable that goes to the light.

My 81 Vette that sleeps covered in the garage got some interior pieces behind the t-tops that got sticky. It is like a vinyl covering over hard plastic. Anyway saw a U-Tube thing of a guy using 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the sticky stuff off. There is no way that will work! Well, I'll...

Want to put a line lock on my 87SS. So many brands as well as price differences. I want to place it with the bracket that attaches to the power brake booster. Recommendations anyone on what brand your using. It is not for drag racing just to burn some rubber once in a while.

Went to the local Chevy Dealer here in my area to buy the ACDelco Posi traction Additive for my Vette. I called and gave the guy the PN and he looked it up that way. When I got there he had it on the counter. Since I was already there I asked him for the 75W-90 Gear oil and he asked me for...

I've spent the last decade off-frame and swapping parts on the 87SS. During that time my 81 Vette has sat unlicensed since 2018. A once in awhile ride around the block to keep seals lubed is all it has been thru. Well, PS pump needs to be changed (no power steering) . Bled the brakes to...

My oil cooler hoses from the filter to the cooler rub on the steering shaft u joint. Got hydraulic hose protector and wound it around the hose to protect them against chafing from the shaft. I had the plastic slit cover but then everyone uses that, wanted to be different.

Added a power steering cooler from a KIA SUV. I now have the engine, transmission and power steering air coolers installed.

My 87 SS with a Edelbrock Q-Jet was very hard to start. Once it started it would start for a few days with a single turn of the key. I installed a Russell In-line Check Valve spliced between the carb and the pump and now it starts with a single twist of the key. Apparently, the carb would...

After the last 25-mile ride to a car show last month, I now have a drip on the garage floor from the radiator support by the steering gear box side. I've dried it twice thinking that maybe it was there after filling in the radiator awhile back. Well after disconnecting the xms lines, taking...

So this is what the inside of the in-line filter for vacuum that controls the air vents. It is really a check valve.
