Re: New Fuel Injection Build

As far as using Holley jets for the PCV, I feel like I've seen people do that (maybe even epoxying and ta...

Re: Clarks front shock absorbers

Painting on anodized wheels
I just posted on Facebutt and want to ask here as well. I picked up some Pontiac GTA/Trans Am wheels (16x8") but some of the color is faded. I know anodizing was used to color them so I'm wondering if I can paint over the anodization? Obviously I'd clean and possibly lightly sand for the paint ...

Re: Buyer beware
I've also bought from CA Corvairs and never had a problem. I don't really need anything right now, but with this sale, I'll probably be buying from them again!
