What’s a creative place for a catch can?
So came up with this restrictor with different size inserts. Used -6 to -6 oring adapters on each end. Used the smallest one and did see the numbers drop on the BLMs to 128-130 at idle in gear. Didn't run a pcv for about 10 years but the fumes were starting to get to me. Friends following me...- TR Custom Parts

What’s a creative place for a catch can?
Update 6 months later! Finally got my new build in and running. Oil catch can is mounted to ac accumulator. Did notice my BLMs at idle are now 142 and after about 200 miles I had about 3 teaspoons of oil in the catch can. Not sure how good that Whoosh PCV is but did notice it is no longer...- TR Custom Parts

ARP Head Studs 86-7 questions on thread length
Just an update on this, ended up with a 2nd set being the same way! Sooo, I then ordered a stud kit with 6 point nuts vs the 12 point I ordered for the other two sets and lo and behold the studs were correct.

Finally back on here after a long hiatus
Welcome back! Facebook seems to have taken a lot of traffic away from here but like corsair said you can never find stuff on FB again. Too bad so much useful info was lost when they had the crash here a while ago.- TR Custom Parts

HI Earl, question for you. Priming oil pump for my new short block and redone Champion irons...
HI Earl, question for you. Priming oil pump for my new short block and redone Champion irons. 10w30 oil, using a 1/2 drill as usual, oil just starts coming out rockers and felt a snap. Pull the priming tool out and see that I snapped off a tang on the oil pump shaft! Ever see this happen...- TR Custom Parts

Want to replace steering shaft
Do NOT drill thru the steering shaft splines. You will get a big surprise! Ask me how I know! And the set screws they use will snap off if you stare at them too long. Ask me how I know. I replaced all the set screws with some from McMaster Carr after snapping two off. Fun drilling them...- TR Custom Parts

ARP Head Studs 86-7 questions on thread length
Getting ready to put my refreshed Champion irons on my new short block and decided to go head studs this time around instead of the ARP head bolts. Noticed something weird about thread lengths on the block side. The middle size and longest size have the same thread length. The shortest studs...- TR Custom Parts

Goodbye Brian Wilson.
He had a longer run than I ever thought he would. RIP, watched the Love and Mercy movie on him last night. Saw him when he opened for Jeff Beck at Oakdale theater in Wallingford CT back in 2013 and now they are both gone.- TR Custom Parts

Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket
I use the UMI brackets on my GN. Not notched and running a 275/60 Nitto Drag Radial on 15 x 8 Centerline Revs with 4" backspacing. Was thinking back to my pro street days with my 66 Chevelle and ran a lower bracket similar to these. Wonder if that would work for you guys. QA1 MT104K QA1 HD...- TR Custom Parts
