Looking for a complete 10" front drum brake setup. I have 9" drums now and want to go to 10". I'm near Greeneville TN. Hopefully someone has something close. Thanks,

Is there a difference between the A- body kickdown linkage and B and C bodies? My car is a 1968 Barracuda that I am putting a 400 in. The Barracuda has a floor shift auto and I have the linkage for that part. The transmission and the linkage I have is from a 1968 Chrysler Newport that had a...

Is there an Edelbrock calibration kit that will work with a Carter AFB? The carb is off of a 1965 Chrysler 413. Seems like Edelbrock has a few kits that are specific to certain Eddy carbs just not sure if any off them will work with the old Carters.

When assembling the 833 the proper thickness selective snap ring or the shims that are available as a replacement for the snap rings are used on the input shaft after the bearing is pressed on and after the rear bearing is pressed on the mainshaft. Are they used anywhere else? The snap ring...

I stumbled upon a thread that mentioned that the '68-'69 seat tracks are a little taller than the '70-'72 seat tracks but they didn't say by how much. Does anyone know what the actual height difference is? Thanks.

I'm trying to sort some random parts that I have. I need some help figuring out what these parts are from. This first group of parts came with a 400 block I had bought: standoffs? The top one has a groove and a dimple in it. Throttle return springs? These parts might have come from a...

New rebuild 383, for some reason the intermediate shaft bushing got eatten and I can't get the bushing out with the engine in the vehicle, that's another story. Anyways I got the passenger side head off last night, and besides noticing that its running rich. I noticed a light band in the...

Is there actually a weight savings when switching to the smaller Chevy size pins when all is said and done? I had some custom pistons made about 15 years ago or so and I was considering switching over to the smaller pin size, the representative of the manufacture said that it was pretty much...

There is only a couple hours run time on the engine, cam break in procedure then a drive to town and back, there is not a lot of run time on these parts. The gear on the intermediate shaft looks like there is a million miles on it already. I have never seen one with this kind of wear...

We are trying to paint my D-150. The truck I had taken down to bare metal about 20 years ago and painted it red. I then changed the color to black a year ago and the paint didn't lay out right it was blotchy in spots and there were some waves and dings in the sheet metal that we had missed...

I don't know what magazine the articles were in originally but its in the Hot Rod Magazine Archives now. Back in 1998 they did a 3 part article on porting Mopar Big Block heads. Here are the links if anyone hasn't seen them before: Part 1: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/cylinder-heads/ Part...

I'm taking a set of "452" casting heads to the machine shop for a re-build. I am having the guides replaced for use with 11/32" valve stems. So far the only place that I have found valves that will work for what I am doing are from Edelbrock or Ferrea. Edelbrock Intake 9641, Exhaust 9643, or...

Does anyone know of a conversion kit that comes with calipers without a built in parking brake? And fits in a 14" steel wheel. We are converting the '57 DeSoto over to disc brakes all around. These cars had the parking brake on the driveshaft. I want to keep the factory parking brake. So I...

Is there a difference between the Disc brake spindles and the upper control arm on the 73-74 B-body vs the 73-76 A-body disc spindles? I'm looking at the Disc brake conversion kit for an A-body from Master Power Brakes and there kit comes with B-body spindles and upper control arms. I already...

Here is what we are working on: First is a 1957 DeSoto that we are finishing up to get her back on the road. Part of that is disc brake conversion front and rear. Right now we are replacing the old leaf springs with new ones from ESPO. Since the rear is out I want to upgrade it and do the...

I just got done rebuilding my first axle, a 9.25 for my '85 D-150 and pulled the old 8.25 out. I wanted to save the ring and pinion out of the truck 8.25 and some other odds and ends like the adjusters etc. if they will fit a '70's car 8.25. I'm just not sure if Chrysler had changed anything...

I'm building a 440 for my Dad's 1965 New Yorker. The goal is at least 500HP and 500Tq for the land yacht. Stock stroke, 10:1 compression ratio, Trick Flow heads, Holley Carb, Hydraulic Roller camshaft, would like around 18-19" of Hg at idle. There isn't much hood clearance on these cars so...

I converted our 1957 Desoto over from points ignition to electronic ignition. I put together my own ignition kit using a Mancini ignition box and an MSD Blaster 2 coil. Right now I have the ballast resistor that came with the MSD coil wired in. In the description the ballast resistor is...

I am looking for a set of aluminum cylinder heads to replace the 906 heads I have on my 383. Basically looks like its between Edelbrock, 440 Source, and CPPA (Toth Performance). They probably all flow very similar so I don't think there would be a big power difference between all 3 cylinder...

I know this has been discussed a lot on here, but I wasn't able to find an answer for my question. With aluminum heads they say you can generally raise the static compression ratio 1 point because the aluminum dissipates heat quicker. Now when you are inputting all of your variables into a...

Is a cheap floating-pressure type flow bench worth building? I stumbled across this site: How to Build a Flow Bench for Port and Flow Testing Cylinder Heads - Part 3 I like the idea of the low budget flow bench described in the beginning of the webpage. I don't really need to know what the...

I'm trying to decide what would be the best route to take, building a non-Stroker motor and using lots of boost or building a Stroker motor and running not as much boost. The goal is 800hp. I have 4 blocks to choose from 3, 400 blocks and a 440 block. I'm going to sonic check them and what...

Does anyone know of any Mopar car shows or swap meets in Eastern Tennessee? I'm mostly looking for Mopar swap meets near me. Anything coming up soon?

I was reading in another thread that the /6 head was originally designed for the 170c.i. version. Also that its difficult to put decent sized valves in the head because of the small bore size of these engines. So keeping in mind we are stock with a factory type head that was designed for...

I had a voltage problem that I wanted to check if I fixed, so I started the truck it was cold out let it idle to warm up to around 100 degrees, idled it around the block pulled it back into the drive by now engine was around 140 ish. I was sitting in the drive way revving the engine a little...

I'm keep going back and forth with the strut rod bushings and even the adjustable strut rods that have solid bushings like pst adjustable strut rods. I am happy with the rest of the bushings I have picked out for the front suspension. I'm getting FFI upper control arms with poly bushings, and...

I have a TransGo shift kit in my 727 (technically a 46RH), I don't remember what one but it still operates as an automatic transmission. When I have the shifter in Drive under Wide-Open-Throttle the 1-2 up-shift is perfect right at 5000 rpm, the 2-3 up-shift is early about 4500-4600 rpm. What...

What is the difference between these heads? On their website they have the exact same specs. Same intake and exhaust port volume, same valve sizes, same valve spring max lift, even the flow numbers are the same. So if the port size and heads flow the same how can the say the E-Street is for...
