I'd like to use this group's collective experience and opinions in order to get some ideas on improving my '74 ex-Californian B. It's a good but not great car, with double HIFs, although there is a b

Handling: The top four things you can do for your car to improve handling are (in order of importance): LF Tire, RF Tire, LR Tire, and RR Tire. A good 'H' rated or better radial will drastically impr

Hadn't heard of this one. What's the best way for a North American to obtain this? One distinction which I feel needs to be made here, and for some of you it may fall into the realm of nitpicking, bu

It's bordering on pedantic perhaps, but DRIVERS accelerate cars quicker. The motor just gives you the means. It's akin to the oft-abused phrase "Guns don't kill people; people kill people". I fail to

Adding a K&N to my friends Talon turbo, along with a cold air intake, added 30 dynoed hp. I'm not so friendly with K&Ns myself though. I am not sure if they really filter the air as well as I might l

It's not bordering on pendantic, It's well south of the border. Point being that high performance engines DO NOT equal high Speed. Gearing plays a major part in top speed. Granted the energy dissipat

Hi Rick Morrison!! Sorry, Rick, but our '73 "B" with STOCK points ignition is happily firing Bosch Platinums at app. 0.050" gap. It's a daily driver, NOT a car-port queen... and has been very reliabl

(regarding why if the K&N was so great the manufacturing companies wouldn't install them) I might buy this... I don't buy this however. I agree 100% if it was something that doesn't affect sales, lik

Point taken. You are aboslutely right, and I should have added a disclaimer regarding platinums. I can only plead to having centered on "stock" ignitions, I assumed (there's that word again!) standar

Hi Rick Morrison!! Well, again I am quoting Vizard's work; he says that the assymetrical cam was introduced in the mid '70s. I've been trying to find the reference to the distributor model(s), but ha
