For an unrelated project a couple of months ago I built a single-chip webserver. It has bluetooth, wifi, flash ram, everything all built into the ESP32 chip. It only works for simpler websites, but it works well. I realized I could actually put it in my car, and since I have owned and operated the webs...

Back when I had my car restored maybe 15 years ago, I lost two things that I wish I'd spec'd them to keep (and in one case, think I did but they missed it): 1) My dealer emblem (1969 Midwest Motors in Regina, SK) 2) My high school parking decal (1982 Miller High in Regina, SK) For a long time I assumed the deal...

Literally I blew a disc out of my neck (C6) spinning around under there trying to find out where the console got i...

One person has told me this, and the leaky heater core I pulled has plain tanks, but no guarantees it's original. My rad has plain tanks too, but before I get them recored, I'd like to make sure all the tanks are correct from an authenticity judging standpoint. It's a 65 Impala, but it should be the same as...

Hello all, I recently bought an a 1965 Chevy C10 truck, and a Chevy small block was under the hood. It was a Frankenstein motor with a 1971 intake manifold, and 1973 heads. The casting number on the back of the block is 3914678 which indicates it could be a 302, 327, or 350. The info on the top right front...
