  1. I`ve read many articles on them and they always seem to make power.

    I bought a 1" fully open spacer that is made from a material that doesn`t transmit heat, and track tested it on my car. My car went almost a tenth slower but I blame that on my hood clearance, I don`t have much room and that spacer put my filter to the bottom of the hood and with my "filtered top" it was now restricted.

    I took it off and my next run was back to normal.

    I will try it again with a cowl hood in the future.

    I would suggest it to you if you have the room.

  2. Is there a company selling a stock or stock looking gas tank with the sump already welded on like the picture below? I`ve seen the stainless ones for $800, really don`t want to go that route. I will buy a new tank and a sump and have it welded on if I have to (I don`t have a welder at this time) so I`ll have to find a decent shop in my area. But I thought maybe there`s a company out there that I couldn`t find.

  3. Exactly, my posi used to turn on both sides in the same direction but now years later it rotates like an open rearend nilly.gif. Although it hooks at the track with slicks like is was new.

  4. Sam... I`ve installed QA1 rear 12-way adjustable shocks,

    Hotchkis rear lowering springs,

    adjustable rear spring spacer (sits under the spring on the perch), adjusts from 0 to 4", it can be used to preload right rear tire or lift both sides, adjusts in seconds with a socket set,

    Hotchkis rear sway bar,

    edelbrock double adjustable rear upper control arms,

    edelbrock boxed rear lower control arms,

    edelbrock tubular rear braces (for strength and to accurately locate rear suspension).

    The rear end is from a 70 chevelle, with a 4.11 posi, added moser c-clip axles with 1/2" wheel studs. smile

  5. Are you going for that look? or Are you going to try and reduce heat? If its the look, I think it would look good on your engine (the way its laid out with the colors). Don`t wrap a good set though cuz they will rust over time. Ceramic reduces heat also , but I`m sure you know that already. wink

  6. A cheaper way is to buy aftermarket, but only if you don`t care if it`s no longer original. I purchased Procar rally 2000 seats from summit racing.(Don`t let the name "rally" scare you.) Check out the picture on-line, they even say it has a mucle car look. $267.50 plus $49.95 for brackets (each). I even ran into a guy with a 71 monte carlo at cruise that had the exact seats I had. smile
