I'm just throwing this out there but when I worked for Buick when we did a trans service we ran the transmission through all the gears including reverse for a few minutes before the tires ever touched the ground. The reason is when you drain the fluid and filter residual fluid trapped in the...
I wrenched on new Buicks and even they had some type of lubricant in the threads from the factory. Every mechanic I ever met or know puts some type of lubricant on the threads. Even in GM tech school they said lube the threads with wd40 or light oil but do not put anything on the seat of the rim...
Just throwing this out there but my deuce has 6 lug nuts per wheel so I don't think a deuce rim will work. I'm by no means an expert maybe there is a way to bolt 6 lug wheels to 5 lug hubs I don't know about? I hope you all will show how to do it perhaps a nice tutorial with pictures? Maybe rims...

When we would sneak the rope seals in and out we allways loosened up the mains to drop the crank down, and rotate the crank in the direction we were pulling. Sorry I forgot to add that part.:doh:

I used an Ideal heated tire groover with a #4 head. It was a bit of a learning curve at first just make sure to mark your pattern before you cut. The cheapest way to mark the tires is to steal a crayon from your kids, grandkids, girlfriends kids or neighborhood kids but don't tell them...
Sorry to say this but that tool was a waste of money.aua Yes the crank has to be out of the engine to use that tool it is for seating rope rear main seals. After you set the rope seal into the groove in the block or main cap you push down on it and use a sharp razor blade to cut the ends of the...
First you need to go through your wiring and figure out how and where you let the smoke out of your wiring harnes. :shock: Then start figuring out why the smoke escaped, chaffed wire, pinched wire, loose ground, loose hot wire, etc.

Where did you get these products from and how much? I'll bet you don't see any long term gains. We tried the same thing with slick50 in the 80's at the dealership I worked at short term (under 500 miles) saw an improvement (10% mpg) after about 500 miles nothing. No way you will see a 30%...
When air pressure goes up air volume has to go up with it, this leads us to air density. Put a bigger snail on. Making the exhaust port flow to well will remove to much heat from the cylinder which will result in a loss of power. That is why even on the best racing heads with the best ports the...
