Nobody told me raising just the seat one inch would lower everything else in the cabin by an inch. Dang it.

If I'm not mistaken they had a foam gasket. On the putty part, I had a small leak in my trunk and sealing all the stainless trim studs that are in the trunk took care of that.

Any bushing with soft material can flake. You probably know cam bearings sometimes do. Same thing. My point was if a magnet can pick it up, it’s usually fairly serious. If it’s bushing material then not usually as serious. If I remember correctly one of the questions in the ATRA certification...

A small amount of metal in a toughly used trans is fairly normal due to bushings flaking. What you don’t want is pieces that a magnet picks up. Some don’t think much about the converter though. Anything that can go through the filter and pump also gets pumped through the converter. Since the...

Does it start if you jumper the starter relay? If automatic, it’s in park or neutral all the way? Did your neutral safety connector come off the switch at the trans?

I have always used two of those small seals in those housings. Especially if the speedo gear shaft had any groove in it at all. Pretty much any trans shop has them in the drawer of their toolbox.

No idea about the keg manifold. My setup is exactly the same as an LA motor would be, but with the 5.9 and 42rh.

Here’s another choice on the cable kit. Been running this exact product for years without any issues at all. And it’s not $300.00 It says for 727, but it works exactly the same on 904. Braided Stainless Kickdown Cable Kit for 727 Torqueflite Mopar Dodge Chrysler* | eBay

Ordered from Summit.

100 amp Mopar squareback internally regulated from Powermaster really does the job. AC and headlights both on and idling at about 600 rpms it’s holding at about 14 volts charge.

Is that the super rare and hard to find 384 duration cam? UPDATE! Never mind, I found one.

I did exactly that. In fact I mix rubber and poly throughout the car depending on load and taking vibration into account. Rubber front spring eyelets, poly shackle bushings, poly trans mount, rubber engine mounts, poly lower control arm bushings, rubber offset uppers. Engine and trans are all...

I used an air hammer chisle and spread the spring eylet open enough to slide the old bushings out, then slipped the new ones in. That chisel flew about 50 feet coming out so be careful. On the rear I took the shackle bracket off with everything still intact, then disassembled it. These...

Hey Rob, I did our entire house in red for hot and blue for cold in pex in two days. I was quoted 2,800 by a local contractor but paid 800 for the tubing and all the sharkbite fittings including all the tools. We have a bathroom at each end of the house and set it up so I can turn the water...

The bulkhead connector has long been eliminated from the charging system, as has the amp meter. 13 or so at 700 idle. That’s fine with me. The original alternator (45 amp) sucked at keeping up with AC and headlights along with an electric fuel pump and all the other normal stuff. Turn on...
