I came across this by accident while checking the resistance of some new sending units. What I noticed is that when the key is on (Run), the measured resistance from the sender to the block was ~10 ohms less than the the resistance from the sender to the negative post of the battery...

Question: Is it common practice to have a drive shaft re-balanced after replacing a slip yoke? I see a lot of chatter about this as it pertains to "slip joints" but haven't really read much (valuable) in regards to slip yokes.

Hi All, I lurk, read/ research on this website a lot, and have learned a ton over the years by reading through various forums. Many of the "what is the best lifter or best cam" discussions lead me to the question below. My current setup. (Please keep in mind this was put together long before...

Location Berthoud Colorado Asking $450 Local pickup preferred. Please PM for details Details: This was pulled from a 66 Charger and has had the spring perches moved in for an A body (44" to 43") 741 case with open 3.23 gears. As far as I know, it has never been touched. I simply cleaned...

I have fixed a lot of tuning mistakes lately (learning from assuming things will work out of the box). Biggest change being that I had way too much mechanical timing (recently fixed by re curving the distributor) I also removed a MSD 6al after noticing a lot of timing walk at mid to high RPM...

Hi All I am having this issue with a Thermoquad but assume that the method for addressing it is similar for any carb using metering rods. I have done some searching (maybe just not hitting the right keywords) and have not seen much on this topic. If there is a thread I have missed, please...

Thinking about ditching the keystone klassics for black d slot style wheels. (I think seeing pictures of Tony Angelos demon with Basset wheels gave me the bug). So like the title says, anyone out there running these? If so please post a picture.

Any recommendations for radiator shops or spring shops in the region or in the state in general? I am working on a 56 f100 that is in need of some radiator repair as well as the springs gone through

I have had two bots fail in as many years. The first failure I blamed on re using a 40+ year old bolt that was not in the greatest condition to begin with. This said, its held in there for nearly 10 years. This second bolt (new) has only been in for a year. Both bolts broke right at the...

Hi All I have a Thermoquad (made from two parts carbs). When building the one good carb, I used the 1 1/2 throttle plate as it was in far better condition that the 1 3/8 plate. Not paying attention, I used the 1 3/8 bowl on this combination (Looking back at this, both carbs had miss-matched...

OK, so its a newer 2013 Dart... not an a-body, please be bear with me. I want to get your guy's input before I start digging into things. This is my commuter car and to be honest it's serving its purpose as such very well. About a month ago I nailed a pothole on my commute to work that ruined...

Hi All I put this jet/ rod calculator together to help me better figure what affect a given rod or jet change on a thermoquad may yield. Primary calculations are relative to the jet/rod area difference. I know it is common to substitute Edelbrock rods for "stock" metering rods, at this time I...

Is this brass float built right? It seems like the hump on the brass float should face up towards the top plate. I have only ever delt with nitrophyl floats.

Hi All This weekend I was installing some pinion angle shims. As such, I had to change out the center pin to one that was a little taller. I removed the driverside pin having forgotten to clamp the springs together (like I did on the passenger side) and only the bottom two short leaves fell...

Hi All Here is my situation. I am running a generic AFCO radiator in my Duster. When I installed it, I installed it a little lower than it probably should have been. As such, I have always questioned weather or not I was getting all of the air purged out of the cooling system (I have not had...

Hi All My car has never had defrost ducts (they were gone when I got the car). I have a new set waiting to be installed. I am sure this is fairly straightforward but was curious how they were routed from the factory.

Hi All Just rebuilt and installed my first 8 3/4. On the test/ break in drive, I noticed a few things. Here is what I am working with -489 case -3.55 gears from Yukon (rebuild kit from them as well) -Eaton Tru Trac -Ratech crush sleeve eliminator 1. Under ~60 MPH the gears were quiet (car is...

Hi All I am building a new 489 center section to replace the 741 unit unit that is in my car today. The 489 case I have was empty when I received it. I have rebuilt other differentials (mainly heavy equipment rather than automotive) but never an 8 3/4. Without the luxury of taking one...

If you happen to have one, I would be interested.

Hi All To start ,the ring and pinion appear fine, no concerns of product damage. I was however somewhat surprised at the condition of the manual and close cell foam carton that holds the gears. Just curious if anyone else has had this "out of the box" experience with Yukon.

Would like to get your opinion on some issues I am having with a 2013 Dart 1.4 DDC misfiring/hesitating when accelerating hard (notice it at 3000 to 4000 RPM). The multivalve actuator was recently replaced at the dealer after it failed. I have replaced all coil packs and plugs.

Hi All A little background to my request. I recently inherited a fairly untouched 56 ford F100. Sometime in the mid 80's this pickup had an electrical fire in the headlight circuit. The wiring was hacked back together and then never properly fixed. Fast forward to today, the headlights are...

Hi All Not a shop, but it's the next best place, the bathroom. My wife and I are expecting our 3rd kid, to make room for her i am finishing our basement. I am just finishing up my rough electrical and have once circuit that I can't figure out how to wire. (my brain is good with automotive...

Hi All I have a never used/out of the bag HP125. I have decided to go a different route with my fuel system and no longer have a need for this pump. Asking $215 Ships from Berthoud CO (80513)

I may be the only train geek on here.... Who else went to see the 844?

Hi All I have ran an electric fuel pump in my car since about 15 minutes after the engine was fired for the first time. The reason was that the mechanical pump that was on the engine had a faulty diaphragm and pumped about 1/2 gallon worth of gas into the engine. When this happened i figured...

Sorry Not an old Mopar.... but a newer one. This is a 2010 Dodge Avenger (RT 3.5l) This spring my wife noted that the AC in her car wasn't working. I checked the system and found it was low on charge (just enough to not override the pressure switch). I recharged it and all was well. 3 weeks...

Went to the drag strip last night for a test and tune (Bandimere speedway). Got 3 runs in, and honestly not sure what I should expect out of my car. What do you guys think (car 450 in time slips)? Car as is in signature. Weighed in at 3500 lbs with me in it. I know the 3.23 gears didnt...

When I was putting my car together I made noob mistake. (Well I made alot of them but this is one i haven't corrected). Here is my situation. I stuffed a 8 3/4 out of a 66 charger under the rear of the car. I knew it was wider but planned on remedying that with the backspace of my wheels...
