    You're best guess please.

    A bit a of a necropost, but I'm going to venture a lot.

    [Found!] 70 swinger steering column

    I have one in blue if that would work? It's complete, to include the steering wheel if you need it.

    Real Estate agents....can u explain land transfer tax?

    Truth be told, it's shocking how expensive land is Canada when there's so much of it that isn't exactly... Occupied

    Center drag link, are they really $600? 1964 dart

    For $600 I'd buy a badass dry sump system and free up a few ponies while I was at it

    I woulda figured that living in a land full of Canadians would kept the property values down more than that... :poke:

    What gets a car moving?

    Fyi, horsepower exists only as a calculated number, from torque (which is what is actually measured) and RPM.

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    "look at me! Look at me! My parents didn't pay enough attention to me!" That's what I see.

    "gripper pattern" u bolt question

    They're all in the trash lol I look at it like this: the factory did it, and they cut every damn corner that they could as Chrysler was perennially broke (Iococca years notwithstanding). If Chrysler spent money on knurling and flats, then that means the warranty rate justified the expense...

    I need some information about tie rod end construction

    It could certainly have a steel bushing. If there's no slop, do it to it. Plastic bushings might be why so many new parts turn to crap so quickly.

    I need some information about tie rod end construction

    I mean the piece in between the stud/ball and the housing.

    I need some information about tie rod end construction

    The inner piece you're seeing is the bushing. My guess is, if you wipe it off, it may be white plastic.

    I need some information about tie rod end construction

    What's the "both" you're talking about? A tie rod only has one ball/socket. A new one should be tight and hard to swivel, but swivel-able. A used one should be tight and free to swivel. A junk one will have slop in it. I think you're seeing the bushing inside the housing, between the ball and...

    "gripper pattern" u bolt question

    If I found a set that didn't have the proper knurl, I'd look REALLY close to make sure they're not Chinese Trash. In a street car, I don't know that the knurl missing is a deal-breaker, but I would never run them without the flat. That flat is what keeps them from crimping your axle. Even if you...

    Runs a bit lean...

    Don't forget to adjust your timing after you get the carb dialed in. And then re-dial in your carb. And then re-dial in your timing.

    Runs a bit lean...

    If it has been allowed to sit for a season, it's highly likely that the fuel evaporated from the carb and gummed up some small passages

    bearing between shift tube and steering shaft needed

    I can spin you out a bushing but I'm REALLY curious what happened. Delrin should not have worn that quickly

    I can't remember, are your leaf springs relocated?

    Leaf spring question

    Hypothetical question, but I would assume to be in favor of keeping the leaf spring system.

    New EPA regulations allowing E15 fuel to be sold starting this summer.

    Just add water! Stir it up. Let it settle. Then, siphon off the de-alcoholed fuel!

    Formed, Machined, and Assembled in the USA !!!

    I looked. Doesn't say made anywhere else. Under American law, it only has to disclosed if it's NOT made in USA BELLEVILLE Boots makes a fine made in USA combat boot. Look for 'Berry Act Compliant'

    Leaf spring question

    I've looked at fiberglass and carbon fiber leaf springs to save weight. Problem is, they break, and they're mono leaf. Do people ever run a steel single main leaf with fiberglass or carbon fiber leaves for the rest of the stack? No breaky breaky but still lighter than a pile of steel.

    Old Internationals

    I'm pretty sure stopping those old trucks just relied on rolling resistance, wind resistance and good luck. Curious for answers.
