HOWTO tips hacks and tweaks for hot rods

My first port of call for advice on how to do something clever in cyberspace is not google since social bookmarking has a lot to offer in terms of new cool stuff. However for the hot rodding community, these avenues have not fed me much in the way of cool hot rod information...someone please correct me on this if you can.

Anyway, obviously there is a wealth of information out there about hacking your hot rod. I guess geeks might compare this to case modding your car...not me though.

If you simply need advice on adjusting the valve clearances or ignition timing or how to replace points with an electronic ignition then this advice is but a google-click away. While the information provided is usually very good, there are always the odd case where things are explained, well, wrong! Limit the advice you take to information from trusted sites. Typically these are sites that are either manufacturer-based i.e. commercial and well-known brands, no, really, or web sites that have a rating system attached to the advice they dispense. This advice tends to be more conservative but ultimately safer than Joe User - Engine Expert: Advice Column Site, just my personal experience.
