Having seen it in person, I agree. It is awesome.

:rofl: No, they wouldn't. In fact, they didn't. Fast forward to 11:01. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc2mU_q6jH8

Hmm. Can I get that the same place(s) I would buy PB Blaster? In the morning sunlight I took a quick picture of the new setup: :D

UPDATE Wayne came down to my house, borrowed tool in hand. Unlike the horrible one I was given, this one looks like it might actually work. We eagerly set to work. After a little more than an hour of hammering, spraying WD40, more hammering, more WD40, lifting the nose off the ground, more...

Dude! I hope yours is in better shape than mine. Anytime. Tomorrow morning? Tomorrow night? As soon as you're available? :rofl:

One thing I sometimes do is make a large web or two out of white rope, then place a couple of large spiders on them. Not my house, and poor web execution, but bonus points for size of spider:

They are definitely old, showing some dry rot. I certainly wouldn't give them to anybody I cared about. No, not these. They are in poor shape, finish-wise. I do have one guy who says he wants to buy them off me, but he hasn't seen them yet. Once he does, I'm thinking he'll change his mind...

I just grabbed a fridge magnet and tried it. The wheel itself and the spokes are all steel, but the cap is not. I guess it must be aluminum?

It is clearly metal of some sort, though I don't know exactly what. Maybe I'll see if it attracts a magnet, just for knowledge's sake. And, no, I have nothing off. They are threaded in different directions on different sides of the car, but each cap is labeled "ON ->" so you know which way to go.

Hmm, I like this idea. Yes, I was already thinking about the idea of leverage. I wanted to slip a pipe over one end of the tool, but I don't have a pipe of sufficient diameter to do so.

As I've mentioned in this very forum, a few weeks ago I bought a 1980 Grand Prix. The Hispanic former owner had installed 13" wire wheels on the car. I'm sure he thought they were beautiful. I could not despise them any more than I do. The wheels in question: Over a week ago, I acquired a...

What did they think was going to happen, exactly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkmWfqdguHc

Last week, I went out to the car one morning to attend to the hole in the radiator. Armed with JB Weld, I wiped off the radiator with a shop rag and then slathered some epoxy on there. I then left it to cure. The next day, I filled the radiator... only to see the leak was still there. Turns...

Welcome to the looney bin! If you want friends to wheel with, you're definitely in the right place. :) This was my initial thought as well. (chuckle)

What's that old saying about one step forward, two steps back? Saturday night after work, a co-worker (the '64 El Camino guy) decided to follow me home so he could see the car. I told him I was going to enlist his assistance for troubleshooting the inop choke. I already had the air cleaner...

By the way: how bad is the carnage on his bottom end? If he's going to toss it, I'd be very happy to carry it to the dumpster for you. I wouldn't be interested in the heads, intake or exhaust manifolds; just the Vortec shortblock. :)

One key difference in these two shortblocks: the Vortec is a roller cam setup, while the TBI engine uses a flat tappet cam. The Vortec heads are in demand because they can be bolted onto virtually any older SBC. Based on that fact, I'd say you could certainly bolt them (and the matching...
