    Torque converter Weighted Ballance?

    That is not the weight for external balance. Usually mounted around the drain plug between the flex plate and converter face.

    Trunk bar diameter question

    Got the sliders and 1 5/8 trunk bars in. Removed the spare tire well and moved my fuel cell farther back dropped into the .032 aluminum floor. Anything for a tenth!

    Bench testing temp and ammeter gauges

    5V gages. Use 1.5v AAs . 3 batteries is about 4.5 v. You can test by 1 battery should move the needle about a third, 2 (3v) about 2/3 and 3 batteries almost full sweep. Don't use 12v you will fry stuff!!!

    Leaf slider location

    Welded in a plate so that the sliders could be repositioned. Ya the bolts weigh. Right shackle was bound up! Surprised as i lubed them. This is strictly a race car. But I removed the spare tire well to free up some weight as well as the 10 pound steel battery tray!

    Trunk bar diameter question

    Yes the steel vendor actually said that they would measure the wall thickness. My salesman told me they get large shipments and some walls are thicker. He had his people measure the wall thickness to give me stock that had thicker wall thicknesses. Marmon/Keystone was the vendor. I told him...

    Trunk bar diameter question

    So NHRA only needs a max diameter of 1.5/8 tubing. Paid 12.60 a foot for .120 wall MS. Delivery was $215 so I took the 175 mile round trip with the Ram and got 17.4 might at 3.50 a gallon for diesel. 35 bucks! Cut out my spare tire well yesterday. Went rail to rail. Frame rails were excellent...

    [Found!] 73+ front sway bar

    It was on my some 73 Duster and I just don't recall as that car has been gone for 5 years now. But it was an Addco kit for that application and we had no control arm tabs. May be longer than a factory bar. Don't know. I can measure it if anyone needs me to.

    [Found!] 73+ front sway bar

    I believe the 90° bracket for the end link can be mounted to the shock bolt. I have the complete set up but dont know if it will work with your factory tabs. Also have an Addco rear sway bar set up from our 73.

    [Found!] 73+ front sway bar

    I've got an Addco but it's for a car without factory swaybar tabs. Don't know if it'll work with the factory set up. It is fat and goes through the 73 K frame.

    65 Barracuda disc swap…. Question on the distribution block

    You can do full master pressure to the front disc and should use an adjustable valve for the rear drums. Im sure who ever valve you use will have adjustment instructions.

    Is this normal, or am I really that sick?

    I have a dual quad 440 4 spd 410 geared B body but I enjoy driving my wife's 64 Dart 225 almost as much. The car is a joy to drive to the point that sometimes Id rather drive that, underpowered and all! No you're not nuts. Beautiful car btw!
