Re: Go west

I can`t go to SEMA anymore because I have changed my job, (because I used to go with my old boss) But if you are coming to Las Vegas, you have to visit me here 350 miles West in Los Angeles, so that I can show you some cool SoCal cruise nights.

Bring your camera.... !

Re: Hello from Los angeles

Welcome bro, I`m also in LA, SGV and I run a flowmaster 40 with my V8. Sounds much more throaty and Macho than my old Magnaflow muffler.

Re: alternator choices

Or you could fit a 140 amp from a Caprice Cop Car, but it might need some mounting mods....

Re: 156K Front Brake Rebuild – PARTS?

I understand, but if you are running the extra power of a V8 while towing a racecar.... brake upgrades are recommended.

Re: A/C Manifold test gauge set, etc

This set would probably fit your needs. You can buy R12 adapters if you need them for older vehicles.

New rotors, new truck calipers, new truck disc pads, clean and repack wheel bearings, new hub seals. DONE. If the steering and suspension are fine don't touch them. I agree with Smilie here, and fit high quality Brembo rotors along with high quality brake pads, because this combo will give you much...
