    Corvette fans - amazing photos

    My Dad worked there in the summer months from the early '50s till the mid '70s (not the Corvette line.) He was a teacher and GM/Fisher Body would hire them during their summer months off. We passed the GM plant every Sunday as a kid on our way to church in North STL. From our home in Florissant...

    I'm back after quite a hiatus - got me some new wheels :-)

    That's what everyone is saying, Ford got tired of people buying old Foxbodies and dropping-in a LS motor. That, and it cost probably 3 times what it cost to build a LS with aftermarket race parts. You are correct when it comes to size. The headers on my 4.6 Cobra barely pass the starter (and...

    I'm back after quite a hiatus - got me some new wheels :-)

    I've seen (and read.) too many younger people thinking these cars are fast as hell from the factory and then they get their butts smacked out on the road. Sure, it gets-up and goes when the tiny turbo kicks-in, but that doesn't last long. Factory rates only 252hp. Even if that is a underrating...

    MC452 LIGHTS OUT!

    Trigger Cable. unplugged it / plugged it back in. Now it works like a champ! I'm using the PS Audio BHK now. I go back-n-forth with the C52. I checked first, but both ends were 'in' before I unplugged.:dunno: Thanks guys for the responses. I know I haven't been around in a l-o-n-g time and...

    MC452 LIGHTS OUT!

    Anyone with a MC452 have the meter lights refuse to come on? Common with these units? Hours are probably lower than average for age. I did simple stuff... unit on and off a few times. rotate knob back-n-forth. unplug unit, wait, plug in. Dance in circles rubbing my stomach (that was alcohol...
