There is a used car dealer on U-Tube who goes to car auctions. He shows videos and explains how the system works. He also goes to new car dealerships with a camera and shows the lines and lines of brand new cars and trucks. Some of the dealers even have an area for 'pre repo' cars. He claims...

I'm concerned about the small amount of toilet paper used. Dem's only like 2 sheets.

Only one?

Your photo of the shaft shows heavy scoring on the shaft. Note the smooth diameter of the last quarter inch. Also note the gob of metal stuck in the hole of the next larger diameter. This would cause noise. Your first picture of #42 shows a casting defect resulting in a paper thin [and...

Those rods are for 273's or early 318 rods. They are for full floating pins, they have a bronze bushing in the small end. Late 318's [1971 and up] and 360's use the wider, stronger, heavier rods. They are for press fit pins. All 340's use the heavier rods with bronze bushings.

Pre 1973 weighs around 3200 pounds. 1974 or 1975 weighs around 3300 pounds. This is for 340/360 cars.

1970 heads did not have hardened seats. I believe that started in 1973. Maybe a newer head would be an easier way out. Check compression first.

Just watched a video on U--Tube. Fancy stuff. I was surprised that a Caddy was about the same price as a pick-up truck [or lower]. How times have changed in my lifetime. My neighbor bought a brand new 1967 pickup truck from the dealership back then for $1800.00 [V-8, 4speed, long bed.] Caddies...

Keep away from dat crack.

Chrysler put Leece Neville alternators in police cars and some trucks in the early 1970's. They were much larger than Chrysler alternators, and required special brackets and a special additional harness with #8 wire. Plus an ammeter shunt. [trailer tow package or plow package]? .....65 amp...
