I'm in the process of restoring a 1968 Chevy C10. That year model came out with a 307 and option for a 350 I believe. I'm replacing the 307 with a 350 short block and I'm looking to find a set of 441 (double hump) heads to put on it.

Anyone have an idea where I might be able to find them?

I'm in NC by the way.

i got a 89 chevy suburban, and it seems like the steel lines running to the tranmission are leaking after a tranny filter and fluid change. im told i need to get new lines, but, im cheap, so... is there a way just to replace the fitting on the end of the line? or if anyone is knowldgeable enough to know where else the transmission could be leaking from that high... that would be good information.

Whatever it is it was pretty easy to take off. The emissions system on my truck is uber-complex, and not much about it in my Haynes manual.

I was recently told by my Saturn dealership that I needed a motor mount replacement - at 38,000 miles. The repair rep assured me that motor mounts generally need replacing "40 to 50 thousand miles." Does this seem crazy?

The tps is new but the code flashes that is giving me a problem. The idle is up and down and sometimes shuts off. Maybe the wiring is bad but I do not know how to check the wires.

I got the car and I replaced the battery because it was dead. All of the electrical worked, but the engine would'nt turn over. I have replaced the solenoid, and it still did not work. Then none of my lights or anything was working. My buddy jumped the solenoid and the engine tried to turn over but it couldnt fire. He thinks that it is the Fuseable Link, but i dont know. I dont even think that it was connected to start out with. We have gone through 4 startes, and I have a new solenoid, should i try and do that. Please help me it is my only way of transportation, and i think that this could be a sweet ride.

I am not sure if it is the battery. I did start it up by getting a jump. My lights and radio come on and after I turn the key there is nothing. Is it my ignition coil, spark plugs, starter or something different all together??
