Does anyone has a picture of the folding mechanism on a manual top 64 Valiant? I need the quarter panel area to include the spring and mount. Thanks in advance, Brian

:lol::thumbsup:

Had a nice conversation with him a few days ago. Good man. Pm him he will get back to you.

SOLD.

...there's also the consideration that a lot of machine shops don't like sloppy seconds. and if they will take the work in, expect to pay again for *waves hand vaugely* this or that or whatever. but on the other hand, if he hasn't done nuthin' on nuthin' then get your money, scoop your **** and...

This must be a way to check alignment that you’re not familiar with. If you refuse to watch the video, you won’t understand. This gauge attaches to the hub. Here are the instructions. If this type of tool is foreign to you, I understand. Young guys in construction used to bring...

First off, you have great fab skills! I wish I was half that good. Now to what you asked. I think if you made less space in between them.....like maybe increased the number of louvers and made them the entire width of the back glass that they would look really good. If those two things make sense.

i'd love to know what those cam grinds were. that torqe curve is impressive, only rolls 25 +/- across but that HP jump off the start where it bumps nearly 100 in 800rpm must be a real kick in the shorts. i can't tell if i'm reading it right, is that 590 hours on the motor?

I don't know how else to explain it to you.

I know that with a strong caster angle (positive or negative) there is a pronounced tilt to the wheel and tire at full lock. Yes, I'm aware that this can lift or droop the car based on the angle. What I'm missing is how the brakes affect this in any way. I'm not rotating the tire. It does not...

I don't need to see his video, but I thank you. I did alignments and suspension work for the vast majority of my working life. The turn plates don't have a thing to do with what I am talking about. It the spindles were not inclined and the caster was at zero, it wouldn't matter. But the spindles...

Please contact me if you have some in great shape. I know I missed a complete NOS set of 4 just by a day, just doing some finishng touches , once I have the bumperettes are on and it is out of the shop for a complete going over, it will be for sale. $ 22,500.00 USd

This still doesn't make sense. I have these: If you didn't see his video, here it is: He used a gauge like this: It is held against the hub. The wheel is not turned with the gauge attached, the wheel is tuned hard left and measured, then hard right and measured. New tricks on...

Flashback Friday

And that's cool. We all do things differently. Even on stone stock engines, I adjust not running. It's worked for over forty years and it'll work for forty more if I'm around. lol

Pretty cool

Alright. So I must have selected the worst machinist in the bay area. This guy Gary at Champion machine shop in campbell is the worst. 7 weeks hes had my block. Quoted me ten days. Third week in I call and hes like youre next in line. Because 10 days is what he estimated. So ok 5th week. Oh...

Ahhhhh, yes always use big carbs. Just Mopar Joe tried that on a 440, Torker 2. 1050 Dom made 6 hp more than a 850.....but the 850 had 6 ft/lbs more tq @ 4000 rpm, & very likely more below 4000. That means in a race, the 850 would be in front @ 4000.....& the 1050 playing catch up.

Actually that's 5600 rpm. FABO shrinks the pictures when I post them, so hard to read. Also read the note that says, "Doesn't like to run out of gas" They tested this "8bbl Program" on 288, 305, 340 and 360 motors also. I assume these were all tunnel rams.

Ign type does not cause slow cranking. You need a high HP starter. The MSD Dyna Force is over 3 hp. Some companies make a range of starters, with some less than 2 hp.

i love how the pull starts at 5600...

Does not seem excessive. But for a test you could try reducing it to 5 or 10 just to see if it makes any difference.

Here's some vintage Tunnel Ram tests from 1979 at Bob Torozzi's ... Two different Holley Pro Dominator intake's and one modified Edelbrock "short"? intake. SVI is Ted Sphear.

I'll be bringing the 440 Van Friday and the Barracuda on Saturday. Stopped in Thursday to register and browse the swap area. Ran into some old coworkers from 25-30 years ago and it was so fun to catch up! Holy crap, have I been bustin' butt on both of them. better late than never. See ya'll soon!

Just run one. They are cheap and even if they don't help, they can't hurt. (In my humble and often mistaken opinion.)

Looking for an early Edelbrock tunnel ram for a small block with W2 heads.

Looking for a 340 T/A block, and early set of W2 heads (Not Econo) and a 340 stock stroke Kellogg crankshaft
