you guys are using the word offset for two different things and really mixing things up badly . The pin bore in the piston ( or less likely the small end?) is offset to avoid piston slap or rocking SIDE to SIDE looking frum front of engine . Done . Maybe very slight power gain / reducing...

buy it from Denny . super smart guy on anything driveline including custom shafts that do not vibrate .

Thanks guys , that is about where I am . old lifters you never know what you have regrinding . I am mainly asking what is to good deal today ? Are comp ok now? Maybe stick with howard’s , but as mentioned comp would not honor guarantee without their own ! not sure what to read into that ...

hi , i have several really good older Isky cams , however recently built 450” 392 with modern comp cam , full extra hardening etc . I was going to use Howard’s lifters with holes there , bought them , but comp says no cam warrantee without theirs , ? not sure about Howard’s oil hole it was...

no .. it’s alcohol . nuff said Briggs and Stratton make something good , they have a lot of fat in this fire as people make warrantee claims on small engines that won’t start after one winter . Read about big engineering program to get something that works , but running it dry is still the best...

Hi Dave , good post . Do you know amplitude of GM pickup at some rpm and mopar stock pickup at some rpm ? then we know dwell control rate from V/ rpm . No need to reduce dwell until under ~ 3 k rpm to avoid coil overheat is why , and how they can eliminate ballast R So may do nothing till that...

Hi, related to this, from diagrams of holley carbs, there is an air emusifier tube in the jet well that is usualy vented to the venturi throat or up to top. If I look into my 1920 there is the accell pump squirt hole and right next to it a dimple that might have been (?) a tiny air inlet hole...

Vinyl split on mine, 79, and faded door panels , would like to refinish some used red door panels , swap out with ones in truck. lil red truck pieces should be good. manual windows . Thanks, J

Guy "Lost " this, three pieces move with cloth roof; R and L and the middle strip about 4" wide . I klnow it is not easy, but someone may know of a rotting 57-59 convert somewhere ; it is stainless, so usually ok even if car is dust ; header under it usually is, I have that

need this L shaped chrome piece, at top ..maybe someone has a parts car /leftover etc Thank you, jgrady

Maybe some one knows of a junker , part is about 4" long; chrome guy 'lost it" . Also looking for leading edge of roof, convert, three piece SS wide trim , leading edge 57-59 Mopar. those parts worth 400 to me . pix required Ok here ----as way more A body guys than 57-59 guys. you Might see...

OK we are on .can you pm me , do not know how to do that , but willl try to

ok let me know the number, had same thing lined up for 100 if that works, missed it. let me know...Shipping on top ok , have dock here.

Hi, is it with drums etc? had a set lined up on here for 100$ , w drums and shoes , if ok with you, that works ?

Hi, looking for these, inner bearing spun in housing , temporarily together now with bearing mount loctite . they seem to just not show up, must be around , with disc upgrades going on?

anyone have a print of orange box insides? Trying to do something, EE, use MOPAR box with points.can do if I can get a look at schematic of box. Cutting points current to 250 mA they will last 60K + ; reason is to keep stock setup on restoration without having points hassles

.020 is my guess; You may know, most bronze bearing are fitted much tighter than .020, like .005 or less, but maybe .020 is normal post wear,and still no problems.Don't know exact number, but makes sense..right? If it wobbles around , bushing is worn....And all else is new.

Right on--frankly forgot that tailshaft bushing is what locates it , not spline. Good guy, Brent at Driveshaft outfit the advertises on this board helped me out with a new yoke, but also pointed out bushing thing. I am now sure that is it, it can be moved maybe .020. .His price for new yoke...

Anyone know if a problem here..?? have persistent drive shaft vibration on hi mile 67 dart GT convert; found yoke a little loose on trans spline, put in another used one, it got a little better..for a while (10k miles) . These were made various lengths by MOPAR --? something going on. The long...

I think there is more to this, i had same problem, new 100% rebuilt by TA , 904, always felt like locked a little when first backing up, OK later; Ok if warmed up too. Not a fluid level thing.. It was as if reverse band was not releasing; Band is always on by spring, remember, it releases to...

What bout 500 trans? I wanted to do 518, guys jumped on me , go 500 , much better etc etc =old 904/727 thing? Only reason i bring it up is maybe cutting not as bad, and i am thinking slant 6 / street rod app. That trans is BIG ... Keisler thing also comes up...

they only need two 12 V signals, why complicate it with uP garbage? PATCO (I think that is spelled right) sells an all analog controller that senses speed and and i think vacuum to shift 500/518 into OD , cheap and simple. it also controls lock up converter ; supposedly better than stock...

Hi, i made an error above I need to set right..I did this 3 years ago, and yesterday had a brain fart on which way trans lever moves .. It is forward to put trans at low pressure early shift, back to up pressure, hard shift, higher speed . So spring in linkage cannot work as I described it...

Hey, that is a good idea ; there were lots of vans w slant six in the way back. Probably converter end can be worked out w 518 parts , and van sl 6 flex plate etc That helps a lot; I forgot about that setup...Thanks grump..

Yes that is right, but that is how it is on cheapest low buck setup slant six. They even went away from that to spring...You may WANT full line pressure before WOT; I think that is what they are doing with spring. Setting it "just right" as you describe will mean you only get full RPM shifts...

should have finished last thought...with added spring, trans lever is all the way back with carb closed, important to get that, but spring would let LOKAR travel more at carb after lever hits internal stop on trans,. If it does not hit that stop, you don't get full upshift RPM and full shift...

This is a good subject, got quite a bit heated over a year ago, when I asked someone to explain ?? why the over travel spring in the stock 727/904 linkages sometimes, yet not always . An expert chimed in with an obviously (to me) wrong answer, but bottom line is we never did learn what factory...

Any way to adapt late 727 derivatives w OD (electric actuated ) to slant six? (`90's) They were only behind AMC derived six and V8, right?? . Also hear complaints about length and bulk of back part of those when going into early bodies. Are JEEP 4 WD versions also so long ? An adapter machined...

Hi, I need the chrome on outer drivers side post for this car, vertical piece ...someone put a spotlight thru it , tried to repair it, totaled it. I fixed interior vertical trim, but same guy broke upper corner inside trim piece ,which I think was black plastic. (missing) Anyone have a...

Hi! These are those S shaped tinnermans , probably used on lots of MOPAR comverts of this vintage . They clip over trunk deck edge, and provide a place to put the screws that hold the chrome trim molding on; those screws are also the boot cover snap ons. Earlier mopars had screws right...
