    Thoughts about adding AN Fuel Tank Fittings to Bottom of Tank

    I'm adding two fuel tank fittings to the bottom of my tank to help out the pump and was going to add a baffle to the interior of the tank. Going to bend up a thin piece of metal and sandwich it between the fitting nut and the tank to hold it in place. Should I add some fuel tank foam within...

    Issues with Holley Big Port Regulators

    Anyone else having issues with Holley regulators? I've had two doing the same thing, they chatter and will not maintain pressure, they chatter so bad it will shake the needle off the gauge. I replaced the Holley with an Areomotive 13201 and it is solid as a rock. I was using the Holley big...

    Ordered the DragVette 6-link

    I've read through the threads about the 6-link kits and the benefits of the set up. I do mostly street driving but do want to run on the track some day (1/4 mile) so this looked to be a good option for the cost. I usually do the DIY upgrades on my car but for the price and a solid place to...

    3rd Holley regulator and its screwing up

    I'm on my 3rd Holley regulator over the last 2 years and its starting to piss me off. Is anyone using these regulators with luck? I'm using the large port Holley regulators and they will start chattering and than will loose control of the fuel pressure. They will work off and on once they...

    Lesson with steering pumps and reservoir

    I learned an important lesson while working on my car and the steering system. I installed a hydro boost on my car a while back and have been experiencing issues with it. When I would hit the brakes and turn the steering would lock up for a spit second. This has always bothered me and I have...

    Measuring air flow changes through the radiator after adding splitter and air dam

    Back when I was having heating issues with my car Matt G. had suggested that I could measure air flow changes through the radiator by measuring voltage from the fan motor while not energized. Back then I was so caught up with fixing my heating issue that I let this one fall to the back of the...

    I have a non-dampened fuel pressure gauge mounted where I can watch it while driving, the readings are very erratic. I've had to change the fuel pressure regulator due to it fluctuating while the car is sitting there idling. This is the second Holley large port regulator that I have used and...

    Did the 81/82 vette come with a 2004R?

    I really need an OD trans and am looking for one to install in my vette. I would like to stay with the 200 due to it being as close to drop in as you can get and I don't like the gear ratio of the 700. I'm running 4:10's in the rear and the low first gear of the 700 I don't think will work...

    Fuel Percolation and Fuel Stabilizer

    Whats the possibility that fuel stabilizer helps with carb fuel percolation? I've had an ongoing issue with carb percolation around 20 to 30 minutes after shutting the engine down on start up. I've worked on it and have it about as good as I've been able to get it until now. I've insulated...

    Driver Side head runing hotter than the passenger side

    Still working on the temp issues with my car. I've got control of the temps but am not ready to say I have no issues. I'm seeing the temp at the water outlet of the heads at the front between the heads and the T-stat showing a pretty good difference form the driver side to the passenger side...
