    Buzzsaw sound?

    Has anyone heard a buzzsaw sound before when trying to start their car? I changed over the intake and carb and was testing out the new firing. I had a couple of dry fires, then got it running pretty smoothly. Was running pretty hot right away so I shut it down. Started it a few minutes later and...

    Fuel pressure too high?

    My fuel pressure gauge shoots right up to the max of 15psi when the engine is running. Is this worrisome? Stock fuel pump (I was fixing the fuel line, it is leaking on one side, so playing with the fit and tightness to get it right and noticed the pressure)

    Ignition coil placement

    Has anyone here used a non-stock set of valve covers? Where do you prefer to re-home the coil? I'm wondering if it would work on the passenger side panel in the engine bay, using a longer spark cable and lengthening the wires. Any thoughts, opinions, or photos would be appreciated. Thank you...

    Vacuum hose, another dumb question

    Where does this little black hose go inside the ca? It is hooked up to the two-pronged vacuum fitting on the intake manifold. Larger hose goes to a brake booster? Not sure where the little one goes, I can't follow it without dismantling most of the dash apparently Thanks for any guidance!

    Coolant lines

    Hello, any issues with the stock pump pushing through longer lines? I want to move the lines away from the engine out to the wheel well for decluttering the engine. Let me know if there's an issue with adding another foot or two. Also, which port on the firewall goes to which port on the pump...

    Removing the headlights on a 65

    Is there a trick to removing the glass and bezels to loosen up the headlights? Mine are still the original headlights and the frame won't really budge with the screws out... I don't want to break anything, does anyone have tips on removing these?

    Found these cards in my dash

    Found these, pretty neat. Didn't find the Certicard but maybe I'll get lucky. Taking the rear seat out is also on the list to find the build sheet. The protective paper stickers are still on the rear belts, I don't think anyone ever really rode in the back seat. (The postcard I got separately...

    Performance Indicator placement

    I bought one because I love them, but my car does not have a console. Do the consoles bolt in or did they need to be installed at the factory? I'm tempted to add one and just block out the shifter part, so I can mount the vacuum indicator. This is probably demented either way, but curious to...

    Valley Pan Gasket - RB engine

    Does anyone have a good recommended gasket? The felpro seems to have wildly mixed reviews. I'm replacing my intake and don't mind dressing it up a little with a top-quality gasket Any other pointers for a tune-up while I'm monkeying around in there would be appreciated

    Voltage regulator

    I'm thinking my regulator crapped out, does anyone know which replacement part is correct? I see NOS units for $180 but I'm not paying that. I have a 65 NYer

    Has anyone swapped in an original Sure Grip into a sedan? I love the idea of building a beefy sleeper

    Torque converter swap

    Is there any benefit to adding the "performance" torque convertors from places like Jegs? I see one for sale locally, brand new in the box for a 727 transmission, way under retail. Any reason to swap this?

    Finding a manual, removing seats, and other nonsense

    Hello, I'm trying to check for a broadcast sheet on a 65 4-door hardtop New Yorker. The manual selection for this year isn't great, no Haynes and a handful of homemade books are what I have found so far. I am going to overhaul lots of little bits where I can. I'd love to find an original AM/FM...
