    need a Volvo 270 part, Got one?

    I have a 1972 Volvo 270 outdrive and I need a clamp ring (what the steering helmet bolts to). Where the helmet screw goes into the ring the taped hole is striped out. The past owner put a helix coil into it and now the hole is in the shape of a funnel, so there is no chance of retaping it. I...

    PCV Question

    I am replacing my old Carter carb with a new Edelbrock 750. The difference is my old one uses a PCV valve and the new one doesn't. I just block the hole in valve cover right? Second guessing myself over this long and cold winter.

    tri or single hook?

    Out tiring to get through a cold winter day. I ended up in a Bass pro shop looking to bolster my tackle box. It is one of the larger chains. They had about 30 rows of fishing stuff.

    Please tell me about a "marine carburetor" please

    Internal carb works have always been my week point (I have a shelf full of them to prove it). After much research and a lot of manuals the only difference I see is the "J" tubes for the bowl over flow. What gives? Can you modify a auto carb? I see a lot of off road truck carbs have the same "J"...
