    Agree on the “Big guns” with all the equipment and the big motor coaches..!! BUT as you know in this sport it can anyones day..!! I have watched many heavy hitters scratching their heads, saying HOW is this guy doing it..!! Keep it straight consistent and focus on YOUR lane..!! Best of luck...

    Source for rocker shaft end seals/freeze plugs

    I tapped and used a 1/4” pipe plug on a small block set. Just check the depth to the first bolt close to the end. And yes you can use some sealer for the threads. Swingn’

    "I was told"

    “ I was told “ falls into the same category as “ The seller states”. People flipping or helping sell vehicles they know NOTHING about. These half *** frases keep them from being held accountable when the deal goes bad. We were TOLD the car had a 340 in it. Sorry you paid 40 large for it and it...

    all I have to say is when buying an old car dont trust anyone about its history

    Purchased a 1970 swinger 340 fall of 1983. The person I bought it from had it a year and created a bit of law trouble with it. His father said it has to go..!!

    Another 383 Cam Consideration

    Yep..!! Like the numbers on that cam..!! Driveability is the key here. Looks as though it’ll need a decent spring @ 500 lift. The numbers @ .50 look like the torque should be right in the area you use it the most. Good luck..Swingn’

    I did the same thing. Yes auto meter is white for light feed. Yes also if you want to dim with the headlight use the orange wire(s). And as said provided you know where the orange wires come from and go on your specific model..Swingn’

    Opinions on a new dash bezel

    Only one of the examples you show is actually for a 1970. The others are for earlier barracuda’s. (No wood grain). Yes if you have to have the chrome bezel with all the proper inlay. You are stuck with a good size bill..!! If not you can do quite a bit of home resto for not a real lot of money...
