Pleased to meet you, Rich.

Welcome!

$3000 seems rich for that particular car, despite the low miles. $300 would be a good deal. $1,000 might even be justified if she’s a runner. But plan on spending thousands of dollars and as many hours to get her in shape.

Anyone who does not have trouble with the rear right hand bolt, as you describe, does not really have a Holley Bug Spray.  An Allen head bolt will help.

OK TDr-land. I have decided against installing the 1.25 ratio rockers after all.  (Eye problems.  Not one of the things you ever think of…..until it happens.)  But I do have a brand new set of new 1.25 rockers with the shafts and with new extended studs for the pedestals and a full 12 pc set of EMPI shims (21-2310-0) that I am going to se…[Read more]

Your volt meter should drop to “0” when the key is off.

Take the gauge off the battery, as instructed.

Nice score on the transmission.
