I got my 66 olds dynamic on the road, after a bit of driving my signal switch broke, if I can get the part that pivots off, I think I can fix it.

I've open'd the glove box a million times on my 66 Olds. Now that my insurence and ownership are in there it refuses to open for anything.

If you know how much torque your engine puts out and if you know your first gear ratio and you know your rear end ratio, multiplying these three numbers together should give your torque at the rear wheel. i.e. 260 (torque expected from 261) x 2.52 (1st gea...

This engine has a story. My dad pulled this from his car in high school in 1960. I decided with my son to build it for my car instead of the 350 in it now. 350 runs great but for him to learn to build THE ORIGINAL small block Chevy, is just cool to me, him and his grandfather. As a matter of fact, the last time a tee...
