South Georgia Could you pick up some Pecan Logs in Valdosta ?

TCI valve body Sorry for not replying earlier , computer problems had me off line for awhile ! The valvebody is working out great , it doesn't eliminate the tv cable though . It DOES eliminate burning up the trans. if the tv cable isnt set quiet right . Supposedly the trans. now has constant...

is it worth it ? Thanks guys for replying , my main thought was the money I would have to spend to get the exhaust redone and then mess with header gaskets and all of that stuff. If I would'nt see enough of an improvement to make it worth while then I will probably stay with the little...

I built my '49 chevy truck with fuel milage in mind (somewhat) , the engine is a basicly stock 350 with mild rv cam and Q-jet carb. Big K&N air filter , 700r4 and 3.08 gears , 27" tall rear tires . I wanted to use my corvette 2 1/2" ram horn manifolds but could'nt get them to fit with my...

I have a new stock replacement fuel gauge in my '49 chevy truck and am using a tank and sending unit from a '70-'80s chevy suburbine (?). I think the gauge shows full when the tank is half full , shows half full when tank is 1/4 full , if over half full the gauge show way up off the chart . Any...

lock'in up I think its working now , I had to do some adjustments on the brake switch (slipped a piece of steel fuel line over the switch arm to lenthen it) now after I get over 40-45 mph I can feel it go into 4th and it feels better - no slack or free wheeling feeling. I don't really feel it...

I'm glad to see that there are people like that at other wallmarts and not just the one I go to ! I still wonder everytime I go in wallyworld "when did it become acceptable to wear pajama pants out in public over the age of 4 or 5 " ?

I did find a problem with my speedo, the needle was loose on the shaft and I just spun it back on until snug again and back on 0 mph . Lubed up the cable while I had it apart and it seems to have settled down (less bounce) at lower speeds .

I got the A-terminal energized now , the brake switch was the culprit . Still not sure how to tell if that darn converter is locking up or not though . Any tips on how to tell ?

I'v wondered about this also because some rust converters are latex based ( sort'a like putting elmers glue on the rust with a thin film buildup) and some seem like they acually penetrate into the rust .

I DID figure out - it AINT workin!!! The B&M controller isnt energizing the A terminal , Does anyone know if the green LED goes out and red one lights up when you hit the brake -or will it stay green until the speed drops down to the adjusted speed ? Mine stays green even with the brake pedal...

How can I tell if my converter is locking up or not ? I try to feel it while accelerating and I can't tell . I have a B&M lockup control that has the red and green LED's with a slide switch , it goes green but I don't feel anything . Can I test the converter somehow ? or maybe the lockup...

Now it... seems to have gone completely crazy , the needle sets on 70mph when the trucks not moving and just wiggles and dangles when in motion. I was hoping to drive it to the Frog Follies next week but soo many little bugs are popping up faster than I can fix 'em ! I guess I didn't rely on...

I got a new 700r4 in my '49 rat truck and the speedometer is slow . What do I do now to get it regestering in the ballpark ? Also , before - at highway speeds (I am guessing around 70mph ) the speed-o showed around 50-55 but I drove it up the highway a bit last night (at around 70 ) and it...
