I've read some and seen pictures of the square port Stage II heads developed for Indianapolis, but I had always heard that they ran them on regular Stage II blocks made with a lower deck height. In a thread over on Speedtalk someone posted a picture of a motor with the Indy heads but the...

Over on www.speedtalk.com one poster has been doing a lot of oil testing using a machine that measures the film strength of oils - in other words how much pressure a film can stand before allowing metal-to-metal contact. You can search for his previous 3 or 4 threads to see his procedure and...

Found this thread over at http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30483&start=30 Interesting results.

Ok, looking for bumper fillers front and rear for my T Type. I've read all about the Danko fiberglass ones. Gbody lists abs fillers on his web site for about $100 more for all four. Are there any other choices, how do the abs ones fit, and which ones do I go with? (Yes, one day Richard Clark...

Ken, I know you have tried different exhaust configurations to elminate the dreaded 2000 rpm drone, so take a look at this thread and the links posted in it: using big mufflers as termination box • Speed Talk. I know a couple of guys have used crossflow mufflers in the stock muffler...

I vaguely recall reading over the years that GM and FelPro (the stock replacement 9441PT) had both changed their gaskets and they weren't as good as they used to be. Anything to that? What do people recommend these days for iron heads on a mid-11 sec car?

WIth the GS Nats moving to Oct I wanted to be sure there was no conflict. The flyers aren't out yet but :: CECIL COUNTY DRAGWAY :: shows Buicks on Saturday Oct 2, and Friday daytime is always Buick test and tune, so looks like three weeks apart. See you there :-).

There, I Fixed It. I especially like the Lincoln with a/c.

A friend has one of those ebay 200's (yeah, I warned him and no, it's not a brf) and when the shifter is in OD it will shift 1-2-4, skipping 3rd. With the shifter in 3rd it goes 1-2-3 like you'd expect. Is there anything easy to fix that would explain this that we could check by dropping the...

On a stock 200-4R how does the tcc lockup affect the flow through the transmission cooler? I seem to recall that if the converter is not locked then there is less flow? Is that right? Is it possible to burn up a trans by driving it on the highway at normal (65 mph :-)) speeds while unlocked...

What does a sprag do in a torque converter, what is a diode, and how can it take the place of a sprag? I thought a sprag was something that had spring-loaded teeth on the outside and spun inside a housing with splines and when it tries to spin backwards the teeth would catch and make the...

than a lockup converter run not locked up? Obviously if it's a lockup and the clutches can take it and you lock it up, you will have zero slip. But what about if you don't lock up the lockup converter? Will it perform the same as a nonlockup, or is there something about having the clutch in...

A friend bought a bunch of these, and I tested each one by erasing it, verifying, fully programming it, verifying, then erasing and verifying one last time, all with the Pocket Programmer I use to make my own chips. I also burned a stock image into several at random and made sure they worked in...

Avon wanted me to post this for him, to thank everyone who helped him win TSO at BG this year: First, thanks to Billy for all the building and tuning and prep work on the car to make it as fast and consistent as it is. Second, thanks to Jack Cotton first for loaning me a new pair of slicks...

Hate to complain after all your hard work, but the jump to first unread button in a forum listing to the left of each thread title does not work. It opens the thread but stays at the top. The new button at the top of an opened thread does work but only on that page, it doesn't jump to a later...

Has anyone used this piece: http://www.scandc.com/chassisbraces.htm? It looks very nice, but also doesn't look front-mount intercooler friendly.

In my quest to further improve my emissions chips I picked up an Allen Smart Engine Analyzer with 4 gas exhaust gas analyzer and need a little help with it. The pc boots up okay in the engine analyzer portion (the top box) and has been updated to the version 12.something database of cars...
