This M4 wreckage is really disturbing. Wonder what nailed it in the rear and peeled it open?

A lot of larger 60s engines ran 2 - 600 cfm carbs - 409, 427 ford, 428 PI Ford, 413/426 max wedges, Street Hemi, 421 Super Duty Pontiacs. The one thing that distinguished most of them was the ability to make power up to 5,500-6,000 rpm. Even the 302 Z28 optional cross Ram used 600 Holleys I...

I thought my 03 Ford Lightning plugs were painful to change with half the engine back in a hole under the cowl and windshield. But sounds like my RAM is a lot worse. It’s not fair that the older, stiffer, more near-sighted and weaker I get, the vehicles get harder to work on.

A little off topic but when my batteries get up in age I will usually pop the caps or plates off and finding some or all cells low on water, top off the cells with distilled water hoping to get another 6 months or so out of it. This seems to be what most references suggest you do. However my...

No bearing at the bottom on a 66.

Late April sounds off to me also. I’m pretty sure there are 66 Hemis with TF built before then. I think the pre-production cars were built with TF. The infamous road test with the Hemi convertible cresting a hill with all 4 tires in the air was an auto. You can tell it’s early - look at the...

I have friends whose 70 Challenger will have been in paint shop jail for 5 years next Feb. Sitting in primer and still needs hood and front fender work before painting. And he’s paid the guy the money up through painting. He’s talking to someone else now about picking it up and finishing it...

If you have a factory shop manual you should be able to follow the black wire back to the bulkhead plug and the specific bay/slot in the bulkhead and from the FSM wiring diagram identify the function of that particular bay/slot in the bulkhead.

I liked Will Lockwood, the engineer on Bitchin Rides. He was always entertaining to watch and came up with a lot of well executed creative stuff. The time he almost dropped the mile long, early 60s convertible while mounting it on a rotisserie was pretty funny. He looked shell shocked and...

Or a combination of the two - higher neg camber combined with too much toe in will increase scrubbing of the inside shoulder. If you run a lot of negative camber keep the toe in to a lesser setting -1/16” max.

I would check the baffle in the valve cover closely. Maybe one of the spot welds broke and it’s vibrating and resonating on the valve cover. But, if you have aftermarket aluminum valve covers this may not be applicable.

Some questionable info in the article. A disconnect plug so engines could be swapped out faster. I assume they are speaking of the one on the valve covers which is usually described as there to make pulling the valve cover easier for adjusting valves. And a 3-speed transmission was standard...

Are any of our US/Canadian drag strips doing the same?

Anyone know about the subject?

This is in reference to non-hydraulic TO bearings. I should have been clearer about that.

This came up on another forum. I’ve known about self aligning TO bearings for some time and my impression was that most of the higher quality TOBs today are self-aligning. My impression was they had become wide spread was to cope with diapraghm clutches and irregular finger alignment. However...

I guess technically if you could work out how to hook the hoses to the AC evaporator coil it would sort of work but they are smaller lines and passages so heat output would probably be a little low.

My car also has a bog anytime I slam the throttle open in first from a slow roll. I worked on it for about 6 months a couple years ago with the help of Dragonslayer and never could get it worked out completely. The only thing that seemed to greatly lessen it was to replace the accelerator pump...

I like the .100 better myself. It actually looks real good to my less than professional eye. I know you are tired of messing with it but I would try a .095 to .097 setup to make sure you are in the zone.

Mine have loose primary throttle shafts but the only fuel that leaks out of them is when I prime the engine down the throat, or spill a little gas down the throat when filling the bowls. But it is a vacuum leak when the engine is running and I plan to have them bushed sometime.
