    8 3/4 brake support question

    Can you not move the 10 drums assemblies (backplates and all) over to the 8-3/4? That might be the simplest way to go, but I'm not sure if any 8-3/4 had 10-inch drums or if they even fit.

    Jimmy Carter won't be down

    Jimmy Carter was also responsible for deregulating the brewing industry, so smaller companies could make and market beer, ushering in the Craft Beer boom of the 1990s. When I sit and enjoy an 8% ABC highly bitter IPA, I feel very thankful for that skinny little man.

    Question - Re Coolant Flow

    Good question. The water pump, and it's ability to pump water, should not be impacted by plugging the heater core outlet. It will, as we hope, pump a greater quantity and/or volume through the other passages of the pump.

    Remember the Y2K scare?

    "The hype" may have helped stave it off. It's the crap we don't foresee, the stuff we cannot imagine, that kicks us in the butt. The Apollo 1 tragedy was more about unanticipated consequences than it was incompetence. Don't dis' the hype. It serves a purpose. :thumbsup:

    Block casting numbers

    The castings wear out, too. When they make another, they also bump the number.

    Rust removal, better than evaporust and 10x cheaper..

    Inspired by @ct71rr before and after, I just did a choke assembly in the the citric acid solution. I could have soaked it longer, and gotten it cleaner, but I was in a hurry to make these photos. I soaked for about 2-hours at 65*F ambient edit: If these results seem dramatic, bear in mind...

    Remember the Y2K scare?

    There is a myth that if you wash your car, it will rain. It's kind of a reverse murphy's law. If you build it, will they come? Maybe not. My tweak is, if you prepare for a disaster, it will never come. From my Y2K preparations 25 years ago, I still got the diesel generator, the 55-gallon...

    Rust removal, better than evaporust and 10x cheaper..

    Thanks for sharing the photos. Did you degrease those parts before soaking? Tell us, did you have any black residue on the parts you needed to clean off, after treating? I find the citric acid solution leaves behind a black coating, that cleans off pretty easily using my hands running the...

    1969 b body upper control arm

    HF sells an inexpensive press, but it takes up space in the garage. Taking your UCA out to a shop to have them press out the bushings may cost you a $20, if you talk real smoothe-like.

    Professional Helical Thread Repair Kit: 3/8-18 NPT, 0.407" Length FYI, drilling for the 3/8-18 NPT Heli-Coil will be a smaller hole than the 1/2-20 NPT. So if you're concerned about risk in cracking the block, the smaller hore may afford less risk to your underparts. Professional Helical...

    Pretty cool to shoot half empty spray cans......

    Does shooting a squirrel in front of the cardboard still produce the same level of expressionist art?

    Alert !!! Instagram @mopar_parts_garrage stealing FBBO for sale pictures

    Google has supported this function for years. When you go to google, next to the magnifying glass, is a camera, for an image search. It's pretty cool. But the AI generated images are thwarting it. When the hacker rotates the images, maybe changes the background some, google no longer finds...

    440 block oil pick up tube threads

    To answer the OP, yes, it's safe. Do your best to get the drill angle correct, but if it's off a degree or two, it won't matter. Presuming your existing pickup is still in good shape, this is your easiest repair. Cleaning out the drill and tap fragments is the hardest part of the job. A...
