how much research do you do?
wagonmaster replied to 62rebel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It depends on what I am building. For a factory muscle or a certian car I will research the hell out of it. using everything from the net to magizines, for a couple projects I have contacted the actual owner and asked questions. But for a custom or street machine I will do some minimal research, engine color, firing order etc. Tim -
Pontiac 400 heater hose question
wagonmaster replied to rhs856's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
IIRC, it went to the block next to the dist. I don't remember having to take it off when I changed intakes on my std 400 in my 70 GTO. Didn't have to yank my dist either. But may very from one model/year to the next. I have asked pontiac questions on the performance years forums and they have been very helpful. Tim -
GM factory paint colors?
wagonmaster replied to Rob Hawkins's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree with Scalefishes. plus you only have to buy one 2 oz bottle instead of 2 one oz bottles. To me the guy from modelcar world seemed like a jerk. I emailed him about a certien color, I got a real rude answer back. Tim -

A box stock rule question
wagonmaster replied to Mr. Moparman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah, box stock is just that what came in the box, or on the direction sheets. IE. If it mentions about filling seams etc. it is legal. check the GSL rules. Tim -
