So i bought a 17" plastic flex fan. I figured for $25 it was worth some experimenting. I did the paper test on the fan i had to see what distance i could pull an 8x10 sheet of paper to the radiator. the original fan could pull it in from about where the grille would be. I took the direct (no...

i like how none of the girls on the main page are named mary or elisabeth. Thanks former soviet union for sending us your women.

you can have busty blondes shipped to your home? where do i sign up?

also just a note again, not stock engine, 360 v8, no clutch on the fan, excessive use of commas. i would have to buy another fan to put a clutch on it as i havent found a clutch yet that would accept the fan currently installed. Im ok with that i guess. so far the vote is do nothing though...

Ive had the car throughout the previous summer. No overheat. last year was a HOT one! I do have a bunch of stuff i could spend the money on.

So i did some searching and first off what i can tell you is that the search engine used wont search for fan because it is too common a word it will only search for 'fan' otherwise the word is ommitted alltogether. Anyways... My 1968 Newport has a transplanted 360 out of what i assume is a...

Alright nobody else asked so i will. How much was the strip and paint parts and labor? I only ask because I live nearby, and may want some paint work in the future.

True enough. It would still be cool though. Also not having a GM car means that people come up to you and go "cool car... what is it?" That is almost worth the lack of parts support... almost... well maybe not.

skinny whitewalls look good on old cars because thats where the look came from. if you want to try something different you could look on Craigslist or Ebay for some used Steelies in 15 or 16 and buy tires that fit those. There is a much larger (and cheaper sometimes) selection of tires in...

Just my .02 here but in theory couldnt you buy a modern 5.9L pickup or van (donor engine, trans, wiring) with an electronically controled trans & EFI, mod it to outperform the 440 and still get reasonable mileage in your price range and have the everyday driveablility so you would actually have...

Great car, nice pics, good price, and your wife didnt kill you. Whats not to love?

i had an issue once where one of the vacuum lines to the carb was attached to a breather on the valve cover and the breather started to leak to atmosphere. the car would idle just fine then immediately die in d. i did a bunch of things including spray the engine with carb cleaner but that...

i ran an ipod that attached directly to an amp i had. I mounted the amp under the front seat and ran two enclosed 6x9" speakers sitting on the rear floor area. eventually i will mount speakers in the original holes but its a reasonable option. my Ipod has an fm reciever as well so i can...

WOW i missed a lot while i was away... I have no idea what gears i have in the Diff and short of pulling the diff or doing the lift and spin method im sure i wont find out any other way. what are the common ones anyway? there can only be so many for this car and i think the rear axle assy...

i have a few ideas of what i would like to do with it down the road but for now my goal is to keep it safe to drive, fix the speedo(off by 10mph) reinstall the old radio currently located in the trunk and hide a modern radio in it somewhere with new speakers under the factory grills then put the...
