I'm in the process installing a new oil pan gasket on my 1968 Polara with a 383. Fyi, I've got a 187 type pan. There are two brackets that run from the back part of the pan flange to the front cover of the bellhousing. Since both of them are cracked in two (see pic). I'm wondering how necessary...

I'm preparing to pull my oil pan off and replace the pan gasket and oil pump. In order to do that I'll need to pull the steering linkage down. However, in researching potential replacement parts, I've found that there aren't any center links available. Does anyone know where I can find one? I'm...

After much ado, changing water pumps, putting new fan clutches in, pulling block plug... it's time to consider the heads. I pulled of the radiator cap and observed the coolant. Right away I could see bubbles and foaming. My guess is that there's a crack in one of the heads. Currently, the car...

I just changed the old bulbs to some new led bulbs in my gauge cluster. I did it because it barely lit up with the old bulbs in it. Now the new LEDs mostly don't light up at all. I got one of them to light up just a little bit. I'm thinking that the dimmer switch Isn't sending enough voltage. On...

I'm trying to get my heat and AC working in my car. Heater box is out and I'm getting to the final round. Just found that most of my 3 vacuum pods seemed to leak in one direction or the other. Does anyone have some good ones they could sell me, or know where I could get some?

Just cleaning up the firewall on my 68 Polara. I'm curious what if anything the oval cut out, albeit it plugged, behind the drivers side head is for? Or does it have any purpose? Seems to be a haven for rust. Here's a pic
