no matter what you use toongs, you need to tune them to get them to run sweet. air bleeds dont have screws, thats the idle mixtures. air bleeds are on the top face of the carb inside the air cleaner, they are small holes around 1mm. your idle mix screws need to be at 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns out, if the...

my mate had a smaller amp in his car, but he had an oscilloscope in his shed which he connected to the speaker leads, this would show some clipping on big bass thumps. a 1farad cap fixed probably 90% of the clipping. couldnt really hear any difference by ear and the old car had heaps of rattles as w...

i reckon when you buy new battery you get the biggest and highest cca one that will physically fit. also the import ones (my 94wrx) seem to have the normal big battery post terminals and the aussie ones have little posts (my 00wrx, gen2 o/back). i got leads changed to big posts as the batteries are ...

there are plenty of tuning books available for holleys even from public libary. i reckon you will need to change air bleeds on mains and idle. they are pretty simple to play with, the hardest bit is working out if they are rich or lean and what part of the fuel circuit is in control and will have th...

i think gearbox and rear diff use a 5l bottle, and 5l will do engine and filter oil change. 600ml brake fluid will be enough to flush brake fluid. dunno how much water they have in them.
i got wrx and thats what it uses, yours wont be a lot different

doesnt need to be accurate, just needs to be consistent. dynos are variable between each other anyway. as long as you know if after some mods you have more or less power than you had before. rollers are just pipe, maybe 10 or 12 inch, cap them and put your drive on one end. you can use a power/speed...
