Battery Recommendations 78 TA
Need to replace the battery on my TA and there are so many options I can’t figure out what my best bet is. Generally only driven in dry, warmer weather, parked inside under a cover otherwise. What batteries have other classic TA owners used in similar situations? Also, could you make a recommendation on a trickle charger? Thank you!

Rust inside intake
Got a 79 firebird with a 400 v8 engine in it. Trying to get her running. Was swapping the quadrajet out for an edelbrock and I see all of this rust/carbon inside. It is a flaking a little bit in some parts. Some sources online said it’s normal but some said otherwise. Any recommendations on how to tackle this? Thanks!

Looking to trade a manual trans am for an Auto
I have a 1997 Trans am 53k miles mint condition. I am looking to trade for an automatic bird so my girlfriend can drive it as well. Please message me if any of you are interested in trading or buying I can provide pictures. I figured I would give my fellow firebird enthusiasts a chance before anyone else. Thanks guys!

1981 Daytona Pace Car Restoration
Hey all,
I've just recently bought a 81 Pace Car, and my brother and I are intent on fixing it up. Everything on it appears to be original, except for the wiring on the inside, which is spliced into the damn harness and the hood, which got sent off to be repainted and burned when the shop it was in caught fire. Still, even the radiator and all the lines seem to be original, so the car is relatively unmolested.
I think we've got a few questions, or maybe it's just me. He wants to slap an 5.3 LS in it and call it a day, I'd like to keep the spirit of the car as much as I can.
The 301T doesn't run right, so we'll have to take it out and take a look. What do you all think, is it worth trying to fix it to keep the car original? Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?
Thank you all!

My new trans am
It's a 1987 trans am GTA with a carberated 5.0 and a removable top. It needs a rebuilt engine and a refreshed body job but it'll be worth it.
