So are you @Cranky saying using a weak impact gun wont drive them in or using a shitty impact gun will strip or destroy the threads?

Well dry you can use on all parts , then if they need oil like undercarriage then add penetrating oil. Thanks

IF the pistons and rods are near enough to stock weight, you should be fine. If you take too much off the balance pads on the rods, or use significantly lighter rods or pistons, (or heavier, tho lighter is much more common) then yes, you should get the crank balanced. IF you can give the...

I wasn’t aware that there were options, I just ordered a pint of the blue liquid and mixed it with water according to the instructions. There are some basic tutorials on YouTube, that’s where I got inspired to do it myself.

Not to get off track here, but when I built my 70 Road Runner I spent a lot of time wiring and installing the fuel injection, A/C Bluetooth stereo, higher amp alternator, etc. In my car, I tried to make it look as (reasonably) stock as possible. In the 10 years I have been driving my car, it...

I always tried my best to make the little guy as happy as possible. You're right, do your best and go home.

Well I went to order it it asked if you want oily or dry . I ordered dry and I read your earlier response.

Ran when parked!

You oil the parts after doing the black oxide process. After the oxide absorbs the oil you wipe off the excess, but they really don’t feel oily if that’s what you’re asking.

Oily or dry solution? Thanks

Thanks Hawk. I'm trying to make it as neat as possible. Next up will be mounting the battery box in the trunk & running the #1 wire. Waiting for a friend to make up a bracket to mount a battery kill switch onto.

The finish is not like paint, it is an actual chemical reaction with the steel. It doesn’t chip or peel off…

I remember the 640 KB ram...I had an Atari ST and upgraded the 512 KB to 2.5 mb, for $70. The PC guys were amazed at how much memory I had. And that I had a wireless mouse in 1991 as well. I used to spend hours every night on the local bulletin boards back then.

I wire brushed everything on a bench grinder because that’s what I had. After wire brushing the parts were soaked in acetone to degrease. They were dried with compressed air after soaking, latex gloves were worn to avoid contamination from body oils. Once dry the parts were placed in a mix of...

Case in point.

Nice, clean install - well done!

"you mind if I have a bite of your uh, hotdog?"

Yeah, would like flat black finish, is that the non oily? Caswell got back with me on storage, once mixed, lasts up to 2 years. Didn't understand their explanation on finish. Boy, seems like they want a ton of info on you!

Back in the day, you did what you could afford. I had slots on the back on my Dart, and factory wheel covers on the front! Some of my buddies had to get what was available and they could afford - so that sometimes led to different style mag wheels on the front vs. the back. Not great by today's...

I’d make sure you had plenty of reason to! :lol:
