The work on the 302 heads is interesting. Are there any other videos anywhere that goes into more porting on them. there Are 3 of them so far and I think he was doing 5? i picked up an xe 262 cam and magnafluxed 302 heads. I don’t think the cam will perform well with the heads in their stock...

Got this AC box for sale. I was going to put factory AC in my car and decided not to mess with it. It has the vents that go under the dash with it. buyer pays shipping. text 406-465-0888

I feel a lot better about this. I’m glad I don’t have to mess with it. I’ll see how it goes. supposed to be a pretty nice transmission. I went through it and put a shift kit in it that’s 1 level above stock.

I have a 999 transmission in my 69 dart. It came out of an 87 van. it’s got a switch on the back of it that looks like a temp sender. It’s not a temp sender. It operated the lock up clutch on the torque converter. However……I don’t know how it operates the lock up. im getting a lot of mixed...

The hat nut fit really well. the push washers from lowes did not fit. They were too loose I was able to attach the hood and check it. in the beginning. I was cautious. The hood wouldn’t go down. I had to work it some, to get the print to work. I think it had been so long not connected, that...

it looks like it’s called an axle hat nut or a type of push cap nut. made to go on 1 time and not come off. Used for radio flyer wagons. Size is 1/2” and fits very tight on there. the one on top and bottom are the same size. It was also used for wagon wheels. It also moved 1/2“ the internal...

So now there is the decision to use a washer and cotter pin. or go back with the factory method. does anyone know where to get a cap for the factory method???

That video posted. with the vice grips and the crescent wrench. it took 1 try and went as fast as the video showed. It worked great. it took me a couple of hours trying different things. that method took 2 minutes. I did have to hammer the hook part off the vice grips like the video showed...

I’m going to try some of these things tomorrow or when I can. I’ll post back. What I did to get it to go one. I like the cotter pin and washer idea. Seems like it might work pretty well. The fender is mostly off now.

I’m just trying to get that hook rotated back to the stud. 180 degrees. I thought about cutting a slot in a socket and using a breaker bar to move it back. Which would still be pretty complicated.

For years I’ve popped the hood of my 69 dart. It’s always sagged on one side. I took the fender off the driver side to find out why. The coil spring is there and attached. However, it’s unwound. I haven’t been able to get it wound back up to where it’s got tension. Is there a trick to...

I don’t know either. That first guy who was posting wind n crazy was giving a lot of really good information. He got banned probably right after. probably for something minimal. since then, I’ve not seen much on really porting these heads. he seems like he was pretty close to giving the rest of...

I’ve got a 69 dart That I put brakes from a 74 Plymouth scamp on. Front and back disc brakes. This has the lifted power booster The power booster has a leak. I can hear it. I either want to replace it or rebuild it. Or can I use a substitute. Rock auto doesn’t have the 74 power booster...

I finally got it. I pulled the shafts out and primed. Did not work Turned it and it’s still didn’t work so I turned the engine while priming like you guys said. oil shot up about a foot in the air when it hit one spot. I switched the shafts around and put them in correctly with notch...

‘if I take those shafts off and just have the holes in the cylinder head exposed. With 80 psi and a drill for priming. Would that give me enough pressure to leak out and check that way, without pulling the engine apart. I don’t think I put the gaskets on wrong. But there’s no oil up there so I...
