Re: Spring Carlisle 2019

My Dad, my brother (Jay), Alex and myself will be there Wednesday evening to Saturday morning. Drive up Wednesday and drive back Saturday. I think Jay will be driving a black fox body to try and sell it.

Re: 1979 El Camino

It's been so cold here I have not wanted to go in the garage and work on the engine. Well today was in the 50's. So I installed the main caps, plastigauged them and re-installed/torqued them. They measrued 0.002" - 0.003" within spec. I also installed all the new rings, piston and connecti...
