A little driving, but check out Jaws Gear and Axle in Sacramento. They set up my 8 3/4 for the Dart and Coronet. I recommend them.

Snatch. Guy Ritche's English version of Pulp Fiction. An all-star ensemble cast with Brad Pitt arguably playing his best movie role.

So what changed from Fri and Sat to Sunday? The initial .082" TIR was because the engine mounting surface was not smooth and prepped. After prepping, the second measurement came in at .048" TIR; not great but within spec using a .021" offset dowel. The reason the 3rd attempt jumped up to .056"...

There's no substitute for experience and over the past week I've scaled the learning curve and its finally beginning to flattened out. Back to the task at hand: Greg took the initiative to drop one of his 440's onto a cart so we could compare runouts. The cast iron bell had almost zero runout...

Tomorrow morning we're going to bolt up the TKX bell to a 440 that Greg has secured to a stand. If the runout is consistent then we know its the bell. I'm actually more concerned that the bell will fall in spec. That means something is off with the engine. The engine mating surface has been...

I don't think the dowels are stackable, meaning a pair of .014 dowels will adjust the BH .014" not .028". At .028", a pair of .021" dowels reduce the TIR to .007"; out of spec for a Tremec. I'm the FBBO member that Greg mentioned at the beginning of this thread. The TKX is going in the...

JAWS has pretty good reviews on Yelp. Mostly 5 stars with a 1 star back in 2017. I used them in 2016 for the Dart and Coronet. The Coronet had 3.23's which were too tall for the cam, so I had them swap the 3.55 SG from the Dart into the Coronet. Then I ordered 4.10s for the Dart which they...

Just had a bit of vomit backup to the bottom of my throat, was able to force it back down. Searching for the Hot Mopar Babes II thread for a cleansing...

That's almost exactly where Ehrenberg stated. I'm shooting for between 13.8-13.9.

I found the article in MA. It's the April 2022 edition. The VR is referenced in the article titled Acid Test, about restoring a battery tray. As a subtopic, Ehrenberg goes into over-charging batteries causing the releasing of corrosive acid. He devoted a couple of pics to the adj VR...

Yesterday I installed the Transpo adjustable VR. OOTB it was charging 15.5V so I dialed back the pot a quarter turn counterclockwise and it settled on 14.46V at idle.

I read your original thread - 2010 - that's an impressive run. And a very tidy engine compartment. You did a nice job of hiding the wiring harness back to the firewall.

The card attached to the PowerMaster alt only gives the output amps not the draw. I'm gonna call them and see what they have to say.

I went online, but MA doesn't have a decent search function. I have all my old mags going back to 2012; gives me something to do tomorrow while cooking the brats. Thanks.
