    Would like your opinion on a new drink holder for 67-70 B bodies

    Nice. I don't have a B body anymore but if I did I'd want one of these because console doors SUCK. In my late model Ram the cup holders have three cushion/protrusion things around the bottom to keep cups solid. There's zillions of cheapo options for inserts. I'm the same though, I really try...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Fair enough. Either way, I maintain the S.D. could be a decent choice on a low deck street combo with EFI. The Performer RPM might make more torque at low RPM but it's also taller and height is a factor for some applications especially when you use a spacer. Couple years ago I had a Performer...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Considering the target market for retrofit EFI, it's more important for those users to choose the right intake for the combination than it is to be concerned with how the ECU will handle any perceived distribution issues. Sure, I agree in some situations a single plane could be a better...

    No emotion involved here. Maybe you can further explain why you think I’m wrong? Just curious.

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Intake design really has nothing to do with how EFI works since fuel requirements are determined by feedback from the 02, load, rpm and temps. Single plane, dual plane, short runner, long runner, makes no difference. The companies that make these things have no clue what they will end up on so...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    I'm not sure why controlling timing with the ECU is even a debate. Is there an emotional aspect of it that I'm missing? Think about it - the entire point of retrofit EFI systems is to gain finite/precise control over the induction and ignition tuning parameters because it's not physically...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    I'm guessing that's in reference to me. What's wrong with suggesting that someone put in extra effort for a successful install? Keeping it simple does not necessarily mean doing things in a half-assed manner. For me, it's worth the exercise of ensuring everything is up to snuff before trying to...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Huh, that does not add up. The one I got from Tanks, Inc. was actually pretty quiet. You could hear it before startup during the key-on prime sequence but once the car was running it was essentially inaudible. Even at idle I never noticed it. It was a return system, not sure if that helps reduce...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Had a Tanks, Inc. EFI- ready one in my Coronet. Good quality, fit like OE. I used their GPA 2 i -tank pump (Walbro 255lph). Never had an issue with it for at least 3 years of regular driving, long trips included. Around $700 for the tank and pump. Need a sending unit too. There are ‘floatless’...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    I had an 02 go south on me. Luckily the tune had been steady for long enough to where I turned off the learning function. The learn table cells were all in the single digits and most were under 5. At that point it basically acts like a carb since there is no feedback from the 02 trying to match...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    I agree with this. Sometimes you have to put some effort into this stuff. That's why I said it's not worth the effort if you just putt around every so often. If the carb is problematic, figure it out and fix it. EFI is not a magic bullet and it's not for everyone.

    EFI Conversion Kit

    First, there's no way I'd be driving any car with 60 year old wiring whether it was EFI equipped or not. Can it be done? Sure. Would I willfully choose to? No way. I won't get into why so you can draw your own conclusions about that. 2nd, if you've done 20 of these then you should understand...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    I wouldn't bother with anything other than Holley EFI - most options, most support, period. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, I'm on my 3rd system. Or just go to the drags and observe that pretty much ALL the fastest cars there are Holley EFI-equipped. Sniper is the easiest system to...

    Factory correct looking under carraige (primer with overspray), what process and materials are you using?

    Now that you mention it, I actually used Raptor Liner in my wheel wells! Sorry, I totally forgot. I did thin it out though. I also used a primer gun instead of the schutz gun that the kit comes with. I used the cheap bed liner paint on my rear axle though. It came out OK but the R.L. is a better...

    Factory correct looking under carraige (primer with overspray), what process and materials are you using?

    This is my '71 Duster, done in the spring of 2022. I used 3 coats of PPG DP50. The over spray is single-stage (EV2). I used a bit of thinner in the primer. It has a satin finish with a very slight texture. It dried to a more bluish-gray. I have a $100 Astro gun, don't remember what the tip was...

    What part is this

    Found it. I just remembered that I have a '65 FSM and section 21, page 4, Fig. 6 shows the part. It's a "torque shaft" which is basically the same as the later console floor shifter linkage, just differently configured. The picture makes it look like it might bolt to the inner frame...

    What part is this

    That's sort of what I said but I'm not sure. Might be part of the shifter or something that works in conjunction with it. Obviously that bracket bolts to something flat like maybe where the lower firewall meets the floor. Has to be something like that. Was it a 4 door? Maybe it was some sort of...

    What part is this

    Looks like something that is rotated to different positions with a push-pull linkage. Does not seem to be 3 speed manual column shift linkage because of the offset rod but the T pin in the end makes it look like the end of a steering shaft. There is something that attaches to that position...

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    That's all fine but I did say that I wasn't sure if the lines are the same for both rears. If there are no reproductions available for the OPs particular application then obviously he's gotta make 'em - it's really not even worth discussing. Personally, I'd rather spend the $35 or whatever on...

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    If you don't care about a "correct" appearance or what have you then sure just bend 'em up. Get the coated tubing so they don't corrode. Hope you have good tools for the flares and bends. Much easier to do this job with the rear out of the car on a stand/dolly or on the bench. If that's not in...
