What other cars will scratch the itch?

I have a C3 but just wondering what other 2/3 seat alternatives are out there? Looking for (a) fewer age issues (rust, suspension rebuilds) and (b) something easy to wrench on. I understand that...

Edelbrock 600 CFM (#1406) to replace stock ’79 L-48 Quadrajet?

My original Carter (yes Carter) Quadrajet still causes the idle to be a little high. It may be the ubiquitous butterfly shaft leak (bushings). I have an Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor. Will it fit...

It’s been a few years since I’ve looked at it but on my ’79, it was attached to a large wiring bundle above the driver’s side floorboard. Light blue plastic case roughly 1” square. Hope this helps.

I emailed them with a simple question regarding one of their brake caliper packages about three weeks ago. I got a "read" receipt but never received a response. Took my money elsewhere.

Rebuild kit: ~ $30

Replace with rebuilt PSSC: $100 - $150

Opinions? Experiences?...

Torque specification for OEM alloy wheel (N90) lugs ?

Anyone?

Yes, I know. “Pretty tight with a 4-way” works for most of us. However, I have a cute, micrometer-type, ratcheting torque wrench that I like to take out of the tool box and use every...

A couple of brake questions.
