Stay with factory gap until you upgrade to hei and Platinum plugs before you can really open it up. Or you are likely to get high rpm misfires.

If you are starting from scratch and doing a complete rebuild, Get yourself a used 5.9 Magnum engine to build. No substitute for cubic inches. They are dirt cheap and really just need a good cam, valve job, intake, smaller carb,headers.. Easy 300 hp +. Just need to convert from the serp belt...

:welcome: aboard. Looks real nice........I think ??

No directions ? online maybe ? Negatives outweigh the positives on a rear disc brake conversion. Just read the posts from everyone who has done it. The vast majority of the time they either can't get a decent pedal or no pedal at all. The rear disc brakes do only about 20% of the braking. Stick...

Lower hinges were never meant to use bushings or the factory would have made them that way to begin with.

You don't care that it i s the wrong fit. Just want to see if someone else also put the wrong size tire on too narrow of a rim ? I guess if t is for display it doesn't matter. Otherwise it will be mushy around turns. 235-245mm is over 9" through the section of the tire. tread around 8" depending...

Just an FYI. The 185/70-13 tire size is the wider replacement tire for a 165-13 or a 6.00X13 in the oe sizing. So it is not the correct size. It is a smaller tire than stock both in width and height The 175/80-13 is the replacement for the 6.50-7.00 13 which is the correct load range and tire...

A new tire bought 5 years ago is still a 5 year old tire. The seals will dry and harden from time. Don't blame the part, any item with a rubber/flexible type seal that uses a liquid for lubrication should be used in a short period of time.. Next time buy the part when you need it and don't buy...

Dual plane, no question offers better low end torque. That is what they were designed for. Single plane is a high rpm/top end type manifold. Poor low speed runner velocity.

Do you also have the burnishing tool ?

So just a ring replacement ?. Hone the bores only ? How did you measure the actual bore diameter for the ring size ? The worn bores won't be round , looks like you had a pretty high ring ridge in the bores. So using some moly rings ? Kooks like some quality work was done to this block in the past.

A modified engine combo like yours will always run rich, and for good reason. An engine that runs rich, just burns extra fuel. An engine that runs lean, especially under load burns parts. eg pistons,valves etc... Why a double pump carb for the street ? To get the best possible A:F number. Find...

Old valiant ? What year, the wiring changed Click here for more information on using 1 field and 2 field alternators.-> Google Search

Letting go of the steering wheel and it "goes straight" Means almost nothing if you think that means the alignment is good. The type of alignment done depends on the type of suspension you are working with. Most modern vehicle have different variants of a "strut" type suspension. There is no...

Alignment equipment is also meat to align cars without staggered rims and tires. You gave no information about what you are attempting to have adjusted. The reason for rear alignment gauges is to measure Thrust Angle. The difference between the centerline of the chassis and the centerline of...
