    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    Yes. I was trying to describe the original protection design for when there is a short or excessive load on the interior wiring, and that the original 12 AWG wiring was not designed for a high output alternator, or several extra interior loads. With all the wiring questions, and thinking of...

    Cutting hood for scoop

    Had the hood off and I did the diagonal measurements from the engine compartment to find the center of the carb stud location and copied the measurements to the hood, but if the hood is on, you could just close it on a long air filter stud to find the center of the hole location. Anyhow...

    PSA Pay attention out there..

    Wheel chocks are not that expensive. On my truck, I had used wheel chocks, but forgot to also use the emergency brake when I pulled the valve body out of the transmission. Truck still try to roll, but good thing I had the wheel chocks.

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    One of the biggest issues is when using an alternator that can put out over 40 Amps. I don't have a 1970 factory Service manual, but on my 1969 Coronet, the alternator output wire, and the large wiring to the ammeter is only 12 AWG wires size. The Factory fusible link is on the battery side of...

    The cost of a paint job.

    Maybe they are using BASF Glasurit paint.

    which coil?

    I was going to say I have used the MSD chrome cannister coil before with the stock type ECU, but I haven't used a factory electronic ignition in 30 years, and back then I used a Jacobs cannister type ignition coil. I have used that MSD coil with the mallory and ACCel electronic distributors, and...

    The cost of a paint job.

    The cost of automotive paint is crazy. I think they figure insurance money is paying for most repair work to they charge hospital insurance rates too.

    Fitech 6

    Is it rich just when starting and warming up? That is the displays shown. I have a 4-bbl FiTech, not 6 pack. Makes sure you don't have and exhaust leaks, the O2 is good, using unleaded fuel and running with mufflers or long exhaust tubes so the O2 dosen't see extra air in the exhaust. What cam...

    AC yes or no

    They are not that hard to install unless your engine accessories are way different than stock. Actual install time should be less than 20 hours, if not adding options like in dash vents. If the original defroster vents need replacing with repops, then you could plan ahead and have them on hand...

    AC yes or no

    I put Vintage air kit in the 1969 Coronet. For the Plymouth $2,383 1969-70 Mopar B-Body with Factory Air Gen 5 SureFit™ Complete Kit

    One wire alt upgrade

    Run alternator to battery through your new fuse. Do not use the original alternator wire at all. Get a multi-relay / multi-fuse power distribution box for your loads. I connected the battery and alternator bulkhead connectors together running through a single 16 gauge fusible link. That shares...

    SRT6 Crossfire with a wing.

    I considered getting one, but I'm to big and fat to fit in one. they are small inside. BMW Z3 has alot more room. I'm told the Crossfire is based off the Mercedes-Benz SLK

    So… in 2025, what’s the best electronic ignition conversion?

    The Leanburn seems to have about a 45-degree phase. on a stock distributor locked out, re-drill the reluctor pin slot about midway between the teeth.

    Edelbrock Pro Flo XT

    Anyone willing to fund / help fund a 512 Low deck vs. 512 tall deck comparison? pretty much only difference is rod length. I pretty much have everything for a 440 based 512 stroker, and the crank and rods and a few other parts for a 400 based 512 stroker. Still need pistons and bearings. The...

    Fuel Line Flare

    Thats a deal. I have the Eastwood one that looks the same at many times the cost. When using fuel line over a steel line, the flair is to keep the rubber line from pushing off more than sealing. The clamp should do the sealing part.

    Battery chargers

    Had one of the "smart" chargers that had the built in cooling fan, and it died, so I found my old "dumb" 2/6 amp charger that must be 40 years old and it still works fine and has output even when not connected to a battery. For maintaining the car batteries, I have a quad output battery tender...

    Brake flaring tool question

    I have the one like the Eastwood shown above, but I think that hydraulic one would be nice. Just don't be like me and pull too hard on the handle while trying to create the flair. I had the rotating head part in the wrong position and didn't see the flair, so I thought I was not pulling the...

    Edelbrock Pro Flo XT

    I think Edelbrock had a comparison like 20 years ago that it might be 15-20 HP gain, but don't recall what the baseline induction was? The original XT kit (like 20 years ago) was really expensive, like over $4,000 and came with a really basic non-learning, narrow-band O2 ECU so tuning was harder...
