What is involved to install a rad o'flow bottle into a 60's car? Is it as simple as routing the rad o'flow tube into a bottle or is there more to it? Do you need to change the rad cap to allow 2 way flow?

This is potentially the cheapest, quickest and most value added engine swap I ever did, except for the fact that it is WRONG! Seriously was there any external difference between the 396 and the 390 horse 427 in 1966? The only thing I'm aware of is that dual exhaust was standard on the 427 and optional o...

Since I am headed to Victoria tomorrow for this car, I called the fellow who has it and he says it has starter issues. Something with the solenoid he believes!! I checked the parts catalogue and it lists a different part number for a THM400 trans flywheel. This should be the larger 168 tooth version??...

When I parked our Buick wagon awhile back, there were no visable leaks - oil or coolant. Several weeks after it was parked, I noticed a good sized puddle of transmission fluid under the car as if it had dumped out seveal liters of oil. This happened almost literally overnight - it was not a puddle of oi...

CP'ers, I'm getting close to making a transmission decision, I have a budget of around $2000. My original thinking was to go with a overdrive, a 700R4 with a 2000 stall lockup converter. A TCI streetfighter and a TCI converter, with the requisite cooler, TV cable etc. I've already moved my trans...

So, we all know of the "campaign-recall" GM had on the engine mounts in these cars for the small blocks.

A friend was over a few days ago and we ended up talking about cooling. He runs a small garage in a town close by, and is a bonified car guy. I told him I now have an all aluminum rad, and that I'd like to eventually run some electric fans. He took a look at the rad and said right now they have a 99' Neon that is too...

Finally started to work towards installation of the new Autogear M 20. I installed my original shifter to make sure it fits. Needed shims behind the shifter plate 3/16ths. Everything then worked the same as previously.
