    On Summit the listed coil bind in 1.160" install height - coil bind is 0.715" Subtract how much space you want before coil bind, like 0.050", and max lift is 0.665" Depending on the required spring pressures, the install height could be slightly increased, but seat pressure, and overall spring...

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    Speaking of different wiring, I added a FORD inertia switch for the EFI/electric fuel pump relay circuit. After I rolled my RamCharger that had an electric pump, I decided the safety switch should be added. When I converted the Convertible to the FAST 2.0 EFI, added a flex fuel sensor too. Now...

    Feedback on a Ron Francis wiring kit?

    If you just want stock original type wiring then get the M&H (Year One) or Evens reproduction wiring harnesses. They will save you hours of time, likely over 20+ hours. The Non-Reproduction, but "Mopar" Specific kits usually just means they come with the connector shells that fit the original...

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    I see what you are saying about the original wiring. Talking about the alternator by-pass of adding wire from alternator to battery "without" disconnecting the original alternator wire the the bulkhead connector, like in Jamies dead Dodge garage video.

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    There are many ways you can wire the car, alot depends on what your trying to do. Normally you want the alternator output wire going directly to the battery. On a car with large starter cable that is live, the alternator out could connect to that in the engine compartment, but that can be an...

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    I commented on Jamies video to let him know of the issue. I originally did the same on my car and later when pointed out I understood the problem. Because I'm too lazy to go under the dash, I just pop the alternator wire terminal and battery fusible link terminal out of the engine side bulkhead...

    Not much heat under the intake unless running the heat crossover. If your worried about it, get the thermal type wire loom.

    Conversion kit to replace A727 with A518/46RH transmission

    bell housing can be cut off with a sazz all. the adaptor mounts to the transmission pump. The Jvx adaptor plate is just about as expensive, moves the trans back 1/2", has a toothed flexplate and crank to converter spacer. Need to cut original bellhousing to re-locate the starter. John Cope has...

    Conversion kit to replace A727 with A518/46RH transmission

    Ultra bell to convert small block bellhousing to big block: 92457 / Ultra-Bell Big Block Chrysler to TF727 or A518 No all inclusive kits that I know of. US Car Tool sells a dropped transmission mount for the conversion, but I'm pretty sure the center part of the T-Bar support needs to be cut...

    Can you have too many tools?

    The Snap-On S9724RHS Snap-on Store Pricy, but works good when you have stealth heads on a 440 and the shock tower blocks access to #4 plug. Bought mine like 20 years ago, only slightly less expensive then, but I bought 4 of them. One for the small tuneup box, one for the rollaway, one for the...

    Running two alternators on same car?

    Post some pics when you get it done. It sounds interesting. Is the drive a cog belt like on an external dry sump pump? I was just thinking a setup like that might need a clutch or mechanical diode / sprag for when the car stops it will slip the altenator belt trying to stop the alt also.

    Running two alternators on same car?

    I was think live axle. IRS makes sense to me. The race cars usually run small light weight alternators, so less mass and could be mounted higher? You will need to figure the alternator to driveshaft pulley ratio for the speeds you are planning to get the best output from the alternator without...

    Turn signal issue. Headlight or Dimmer switch ?

    Glad you found it! usually the bad ground problem with the marker lights the indicator lights on the dash will come on with the head light (marker lights on) because the circuit grounds through the dash indicator lights when the turn signal housing is not providing the ground.

    Running two alternators on same car?

    Question? Where and how is the rear alternator mounted? I could see having a driveshaft driven alternator on a truck with a 2 part driveshaft driven near the carrier bearing with the alt mounded to the frame. Having the alt mounted to the axle and driven off the yoke, the alternator mounting...

    Hard starts and stalling

    Happy new year! Sounds like you found the problem. I think the old 1980's MTBE fuel may have been a problem when the gas evaporated it clogs the fuel sock and pickup? I bought a '77 Cordoba for $100 because it had the 360 4-bbl engine. The guy had it on a trailer and was taking it to the...

    Can you have too many tools?

    Some tools I have, but don't get alot of use. oxy/acetylene welder/torch, Dimple Dies, axle case spreader, battery load tester. But I did use the axle spreader this summer on my friends Dana 60 front axle. Replacing the inner axle seal, have to pretty much disassemble the whole front axle.

    Budget paint (Summit etc) how does it hold up ?

    Do spray outs as mentioned with different base colors. When I painted my yellow car, the paint is somewhat translucent. I used a base/clear (PPG Chroma Base/Clear) and I think the base took 2 or 3 coats.

    Intake recommendations for my 73 Road Runner 340

    The one problem I always have when installing an aftermarket intake is the carb and trans kickdown linkage. It seems the new intake mounts the carb forward and higher so the linkage needs to be longer, and many times the factory throttle cable it too short. Often I will just replace the throttle...
