"Our" time is only based on the earth's daily rotations and annual rotation around the sun. I would not doubt for a moment that somewhere out there there is life that formed very soon after the big bang, has days that are as long as our centuries and is very advanced because their planet had no...

Those aren't leveler knobs, take a look at the attached photos. The knobs go in from the side with the set screw on the bottom. I think those are for the bucket seat back release.

These are aluminum hard lines but you could run braided the same way

Canadians generally do not use Craigslist. This is the first clue to a scam. If you own a wing car you likely have a Mopar connection or two and would be able to sell that car in a heartbeat at a reasonable price. That's clue number two. The list goes on. Remember that $5000 'clone that was for...

Huh ?!?!? Step 1) With rockers and shafts OFF, install all pushrods Step 2) back off all adjusters so only the ball end is exposed Step 3) place rockers and shafts on head - insert bolts Step 4) begin to tighten down the bolts - check each adjuster seats in the pushrod - adjust as necessary...

Check the timing at idle and at 2000 RPM. All the advance should be in by 2000 and in a big block 34 degrees is a safe number unless you have high compression (over 10.5:1) or really shitty gas. Trust the timing light. Use two different ones if you're doubtful. Set the ECU to match the actual...

Yeah, 10-24 ... I just dug through my bolt box and found 5 1/4" but they don't fit the middle hole in the dash. Gonna have to try NAPA ... Partsource only had 1/4" u-nuts

****, I just got an order from him last week, I'm not gonna pay another $20 shipping for $10 worth of hardware !!

Hey Wayne, thanks for the pics. Were those in a "kit" or did you just use off-the-shelf stuff. What do you figure those bolts are, 1/4" ?? I can probably get those and the clips at my local Partsource.

Can anyone tell me what the correct hardware is to install the dash in a '69 b-body. Photos would be appreciated also. Mine were rotted away when I took it apart. Thanks,

That's a piston manufacturer problem - not a machine shop problem. Poor QC by the piston mfg.. Even if the shop had measured all the slugs, they likely would have suggested you send them back. Just imagine if they'd fitted each piston to your block and at some point you damage a piston and the...

Didn't you give the shop a piston to work with and the specs before they machined it ??

What's on the valve stems ??

A little story somewhat related ... A few years back "a friend of a friend" whom I'd only met a couple times needed a kidney. He is from a small town and word spread. A couple weeks later, out of the blue, a young woman - a total stranger, walks into his shop and says "I heard you need a...

The taper is necessary so the rod doesn't turn as you tighten the nut. The QA1 rod has that nut on the opposite side so you can hold it with a wrench while you tighten it into the LCA.

You could use a heavy duty furniture dolly from Princess Auto . Add a wooden frame to it to support the k-member and tailstock. It doesn't need to be elaborate but you want some room to get under the car to put the bolts in. I installed all the suspension and steering after the engine and trans...

Ok, I don't want to argue the point BUT I found two and had no difficulty at all. ONE was in a "lot" that was for sale on one of the sites and I asked if he'd sell me that one piece. Bingo! The second one I got was from someone selling fenders. Again, asked if they'd sell me that piece and I got...

This raises the question of how many rebuilds you may have actually done !! In ANY rebuild its recommended to check all clearances, passages, etc.. Why? Because of a thing called "manufacturing tolerances" !! Its why clearances are published in manuals !! Who hasn't ground off flashing, opened...

What makes you guys think that the 440Source rockers have the same stamped specs as 50 year-old stockers ?!?!? The stamping dies are probably all new and material thickness that varies a couple thou would make a big difference. The simple fact remains: the OP has clearance issues. He can talk...

Stock rockers had plenty of clearance - probably in the .030 per set range. And that certainly doesn't hurt anything on a stock setup. Given the manufacturing process of both the rockers and the hold downs, I doubt if there's a spec that's anything more than "they should move freely". I'd be...
