    Opinions about my exhaust..

    This v8 s10 I'm building doesn't have much room for exhaust so I built my headers to exit thru the fenders. Now I can't make up my mind where to rout the pipes.

    What is the black box on my s10.

    I'm putting a v8 in a 91 s10. Engine has mechaical fuel pump and a carb so I don't need the ECM, I think. 700r4 has manual control for converter lockup. My question is the black box next to the master cylinder, what does it do? Can I eliminate it like the ECM??..[S

    fuseable link

    Wiring my jalopy project with a kit from ebay [cheap 23 circuit]. There is instructions with it but not a lot of help but it does say if I don't use the fuseable link there is no warranty.

I remember they raced a Bantum altered in the mid 1960s. 54 years ago they promoted a custom car show and are still doing the show each year even tho the club doesn't appear to be very active otherwise. You know it's an old...
