Always Carry Spare Fuses
Today was a milestone day! I engaged Scott Clark from realtuners.com to help me get Maliboost's Megasquirt dialed in. Scott is a for-real tuner. If any of you remember way back in the early-mid 2000s, the videos that blue turbo chevy pickup, awd, just crushing everything on the street, that was him....

Re: new addition
I know what you mean on used trailers. I've been looking a lot, $2500 would be a nice price point, but you're right. A lot of garbage.
Trailer tires arent much different than car tires, why wouldn't they need to be balanced?

what a weekend!
I had a very solid Tiresmoke weekend.. Saturday morning, Dad and I made our annual trek to Linesville, PA for the Bair's Corvette show. We've been going pretty regularly since 2007. The last trip, which I think was 2022, ended with the Corvette coming home on the back of flatbed with failed points a...

Re: 1979 Malibu
The plan is to just use a flex hose, similar to what was on there, minus the molded 90* end. It should just make a nice arc from the thermostat housing, like Mr. T's mohawk.

Re: 1963 Corvette
Success, i think! All distributor gaskets are not created equal! I put in a different from inventory that measured a little thicker than the one that came off. It was oil soaked. Seeing that made me not pull the intake. I let it idle in the garage for a while to burp the cooling system. After a 4 mi...

Re: 1963 Corvette
Yeah, Ive cleaned it a few times. The area it leaks from is towards the passenger side. Oil pressure sending line (copper) is clean and dry. I bought the new distributor because it seemed to be in that area. It was also something i had recently fucked with, so it seemed more reasonable than an intak...

Re: 1963 Corvette
Its been on there aince 2011. If I have to reseal an intake after 13 years, i guess that isnt terrible. Im just under the gun with the Bair's Corvette show on Saturday.

Unbelievable to throw your life away, plus the people he ran over, for over doing donuts.

Re: 1963 Corvette
Test drive complete.. oil leak remains. Passenger side rear of the engine. UGH. It's not the oil pressure sender, thats dry. I can't tell if its coming up between intake and distibutor, or if it is somehow leaking directly out the back of the intake. So I think my next step is pulling/re-sealing the...

Chevelle Projects 2024
I figured I would start a new thread for this year. I changed the oil + filter with Pennzoil 10W30 Full Synthetic + AC Delco PF454 just before going to KMP on 5/8. Other than that, I haven't touched anything on it since last fall. First pass of the season was a very nice 12.18 @ 110.8 MPH. There was...

Re: 1979 Malibu
I got my new radiator modified by Steve McBride.. I think this will work better. I need to find a different hose. Worst case, I might have to have Steve shorten it up a bit, though.

Re: 1963 Corvette
I bought a new distributor off ebay a couple months back. Seems they are clearing out the mechanical tach-drive distributors. A couple years ago, they were $199 on ebay, I got one for $109 + shipping. Brand new. The guts look just like an MSD distributor, which also means I don't have points anymore...
