You don't have to give up redlines to get good tires. Get yourself a copy of the catalogs from British Wire Wheel (800-732-9866) and Coker Tire (800-251-6336). They are experts in tires for classic

The gasket that I used to do a quick check of the matching was one of the stock gaskets with the metal backing. I have a "header gasket" from TRF and this one seems to line up better, but still not p

I replaced my cam this morning with a Good Parts GP2. The cam spins freely before I tighten the 2 bolts on the retaining plate. Once they are tightened to about 16 ftlbs I can't turn the cam. I know

I'm afraid that you need to pull the interior again. I don't think that there is any way to get at the switches otherwise. I noticed that some of the new switches are coming through with the ears in

I believe that the breather connection on the valve cover is straight through with no valve. The valves are in the ECV on the intake manifold (on the 68 & 69 engines at least). It is my guess that t
