Still looking Tom

Well, after all the work that I did, I’m now suspicious that the passenger rear side lifters are not getting enough oil somehow. If a brand new set of lifters has the same issue (suspected same cylinder lifter not pumping up) then it has to be the oil flow to that lifter….I’m going to remove the...

A couple of years ago one day when I was on my game, I threw my left foot and brake pedal into the deep waters and ended up spending the entire day loading dragsters with delay boxes, starting line enhancers, and throttle stops onto their trailers. It absolutely can be done…

No, you are not, for those that are serious. I would add in our applications a rear bar is mostly a tuning device to supplement or counteract what the front is or is not doing to achieve one's desired handling balance. So what ever shortcoming your chosen front sway bar is leaving on the table...

Im working on my 69 rag that has a 383 4 barrel with air. I have seen both types of air cleaners on 69 383 cars. What is right????

It has become standard practice these days to run trains with "distributed power", locomotives that are at the center or end of a train consist rather than just at the head end. These play a couple of roles; they minimize stress on long trains on curves and hills, and also ensure that extra...

Absolutely!!

So I have decent running Dodge Ram work truck left over from when I recently retired. It's a beater, but it gets the job done, and a replacement is soon in the cards. On Dec 18th I was transferring equipment from my 26' straight truck to a buyer's PU truck. My truck was parked 20' away, as I was...

I recently had another good experience with Firm Feel 2 weeks ago. Gordon took my call and was super upbeat and professional with an easy going attitude. I ordered some torsion bars and they arrived 2 days later. I mentioned to him about long lead times and he said they have plenty of torsion...

As far as I can remember, the "lighter springs for break-in" tactic has been suggested for some cams. That goes back a long time. None of the camshafts that I have ever installed came with that suggestion. I have always used a spring that meets the guidelines in the 440/495 and the 383 in...

The back bracket was always in the car (just hope it is in the right location ) and I can set the console on to figure out where to weld on the other two The middle one is probaly not in the right spot but that was the only place I could get it to sit to take the picture

My 70 Charger project A couple weeks ago I was picking up some restoration parts from National Moparts in Beaverton I brought some extra cash with me just in case I saw something Picked up a new carpet and headliner and a couple other small things Guy behind the counter said was there anything...

Everything's a trade-off. Dumping extra oil out of the lifter galley onto the cam will increase windage on the rotating assembly. Has anybody mentioned using lighter valve springs for break in? The "modern" grinds tend to have faster ramps and more aggressive profiles which are harder on...

January 29th - on this day 1964, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched the Saturn-Apollo 5 (SA-5) mission from Cape Kennedy's Launch Complex 37B. This was the first flight of the Block II Saturn I rocket - for the first time including a functional second stage. This was...

Please post up pics once you get it back. We all would love to see how it cleaned up.

Take any less?

Well you can buy knock-off carburetors for a very enticing price too, but doesn't mean you should. Brakes are the one area you don't want to take a chance on, for yourself and the other road users. Tread carefully: “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low...

There's a product called Carb Cheater that will automatically adjust the air/fuel mixture based on climate and elevation. It's less than $500. Pretty slick.
