    Thinking of moving to Kentucky..

    Man, talk about culture shock! I'd say the same thing to somebody from KY contemplating a move to CA. I'd sure find a way to try that on for size before making the jump. Any way you can go live there for a few months before you just pick up stakes?

    Exhaust manifold gaskets

    if you don't like the look of the connections between the functional pieces of the gasket, install them and then cut the offending parts away. IMHO, I absolutely cannot imagine installing those manifolds on heads with nothing in between. Wouldn't any little imperfection in surface and...

    Classic Auto Air update 3/28/2024

    Welcome to the wild world of Classic Auto Air!!!! I just hope that a few years down the line (of trouble free cool air) we will both be able to think this was a good investment overall.

    Are these valve covers factory?

    Yes the original photo (post #1) linkage uses a spring from the kickdown slot to the bracket at front. I think that it functions (using that term loosely) as a kickdown return and throttle return. This means that the function of the slot in the kickdown is completely negated (keeps the...

    Carb help * the famous debate and 2x different cars

    Can't you guys have your (to most here) esoteric engineering battles some place else, perhaps an exchange of PMs. This really isn't helping the OP with his very straightforward request for advice. You have really hijacked the space.

    zinc oil useage?

    so if this is my choice: loosing 5 hp vs having the engine last 20,000 more miles, I'll pick the more miles... bring on the zinc! I've been using Penn Grade in all my motors since the whole zinc thing came to light.

    Carb help * the famous debate and 2x different cars

    Well, back to the OP's question. Both of the cars are primarily street driven, correct? If I were you I'd stick the 750 Eddie on the crate 360 and drive it for a while, see what it does for the type of driving that you do - you already have it, you might be surprised. Don't screw around with...

    Value '72 Dodge Dart Swinger?

    There must be somebody on here in the Atlanta area that would meet with you, take a close look at the warts and drive it around the block and help you price it. You can sell it right here on FABO - lots of folks looking for a base to build something nice, and I've seen lots worse than this...

    Hilborn Fuel injection - small block Mopar

    A friend that deals in Mopar parts found this at a swap meet covered in 30 years of shelf dust in a banana box, with this fancy belt driven fuel pump. All the hard parts say Hilborn. Anybody ever seen a set up like this or know anything about its use???

    Question on parts value

    Remember you only need one buyer... Don't sell it cheap if you're going to be kicking yourself every time you think about it down the road How long have you already held onto this stuff? An ideal buyer would be someone restoring a race car to as raced condition from the era when W-5 stuff was...

    Fuel tank sending unit

    I think that this over simplifys the situation. Yes the non-linear thing make the unit less useful. If you connect the unit while out of the tank (connect it to the wire at the tank and ground the unit) you can get someone to sit in the car and you can move the arm to see how it reads on the...

    Fuel tank sending unit

    IMHO what is important is that you know before you run out of gas. You can hook up the sender before installation and bend the arm to make sure that critical information is available to you. Just how important is it to know when you have exactly half a tank??? I usually bend mine so that when...

    Question on parts value

    The parts that you offer are very specialized and probably worth what you ask or more to the right buyer. Most folks here are working on cars that they drive, or a restored car that they show, for even occasional racers this is more than they need. You might look at advertising on a more racer...

    Fuel tank sending unit

    All the A-body Plymouths from 70 to 76 look a lot like that - Dodge started using them in 1972

    Front suspension height

    Have you used the strut that runs from the wheel opening corner to the bumper brace to adjust the fender a bit in the critical location? Some members here have even modified the strut to hold the fender out a little bit more to solve the issue

    Hi-po exhaust manifolds

    As above, there you go! Use them under all the bolt heads and nuts that they fit under. The sleeve nuts themselves provide a wider bearing surface on the manifold than bolt heads or regular nuts. I have never used the sleeve nuts in the form of studs and then sleeve nuts. When I got my bolt...

    Hi-po exhaust manifolds

    yeah, you can leave the conical washers off the center port bolts, but at $500-800 for a pair of these, I sure wouldn't risk busting the ears off of my manifolds in the name of what is supposed to be "correct".

    1970 Swinger 340 with light green butt stripe

    In the video it looks black - must be the light. I have had some long back and forths with Joel Cooper about door panels in these 70 Darts. There are 2 different sets that match the seats. (VIN) LL cars (all Swingers but 340s) have a basic set and then LH cars (2 door Customs and GTs) have a...

    Rotors available (for now) for K-H disc brake cars

    No rebuilding calipers doesn't solve the problem. The configuration of the "hat" of the new rotors is such that it just barely rubs the side of the seal and wears it away. Only clearancing the hat so that it doesn't rub the seal will fix this. As far as I can tell all the different rotor...

    1970 Swinger 340 with light green butt stripe

    Many years ago a friend bought a badly deteriorated 1970 340 Dart. In the end the body was so compromised with rust he sold it and we lost track of it. It had a broadcast sheet and fender tag and when we decoded it all the car came in F4 green with a "light metalic green" butt stripe. I had...

    Hi-po exhaust manifolds

    Closest I could find from existing photos... this is one of the reproduction bolt/nut/washer kits and was identical to the 50 year old bolts that came out. By the way the cone washers are to change the pressure of the nuts and bolts on the fragile cast iron "ears" where the manifold mounts to...
