C3 Myths
I have experienced some pain by going with some advise. 99% of the advise is accurate. That leaves the 1% that spanks me.. Anyone have any that could save some future trouble.
Heres one I learned the hard way...
A Torker II intake will fit under a stock big block hood.
It didnt on mine!!!!!
Any others..

Installing a heat shield on your original Delco starter will eliminate heat-soak.

been there done that - I'm now on my 3rd starter in two years trying to find one that will last like my original - stay away from:
Delco Remy (a.k.a. - Worldwide)
Now trying an ACDelco - verdict is still out on this one since I have had a long road trip yet.

I'm neither. There goes that theory.
BTW, the brake booster
