.009 is hard to beat. He might have got you even if you weren't waiting for the toaster for your sammich. I like your exhaust system, and I haven't run my car uncorked in 30 years. Was it faster without the mufflers? I think if I uncorked mine, and actually removed the mufflers and tailpipes...

As the owner of a car that has been in a LOT of friends weddings, (the avatar, Rumble seat conv), I'd vote for the Rolls Royce. (Always wanted an old Rolls.... not so much anymore. ) If the Caddy was a two door, and the groom was driving, ....then yeah.

You could also check out B3 racing engines. Owner specializes in Mopar rocker arms, and geometry fixes. He'll know which rocker works best for a mild sbm combo. A couple good video explanations on his website.

Best way to learn, is to ask questions. Nope, roller rockers do not require a roller cam. And a mild roller cam doesn't even require roller rockers. But new roller rockers might require new correct length pushrods. Frankly, I'd ask Brian at IMM what rockers he would recommend. (Or Fred.)...

Sounds like 62/63 b-body, or 65/66 b. What bolt pattern on the axles?

My aunt looked like that when I was growing up....kinda like a 57 Cadillac.

There IS a small chance that it is a cone sure grip, with completely wasted cones.... but that's maybe 1%. And that one percent is usually the guy asking..... "I've got a posi, how come only one tire spins?"

In neutral.... and spin by hand. (Both rear tires off the ground) I agree with above. Pull the cover off to change the fluid, and find out for sure whether limited slip or not. (If you don't already know otherwise... 95% chance it's open.)

I have six mopars and not one has power steering. I don't expect any of them to "handle". The only one that I know what shocks it has is the 62: competition engineering drag shocks. Three of my mopars don't even HAVE tube shocks. Or torsion bars.

Hooker aero chambered muffler 21516HKR 2 1/2 in/out, center/center $125 at summit, in stock. (I doubt I would pay that. My 3 1/2 aero's were $50 when I bought em.) Holley closeout site has 3"aeros center in/out, marked down to $90. If I was buying mufflers tomorrow?.......Dynomax ultraflow...

Quiet and no-drone and short small mufflers don't go together. The bigger the muffler, the less likely to be loud and drone. Till I read your list, I would have recommended a quality turbo muffler or hemi muffler. If you want a chambered sound, I'd get hooker Aero. I had a pair of 3.5 in/out...

We are having battery problems again, primarily because of our own stupidity/neglect. I think I killed the redtop in my Opel, gf neglected the Costco interstate in her Dakota that is rarely used, and the battery in my (ex-stolen/recovered)Z28 died of old age, I think, cause that car isn't...

In my opinion, this ^^^^ is the correct answer to your question. For a driver you can enjoy. Now, if you're planning a swap to a high-suds 340/408/440/500 a swap is certainly in order. There are many upgrades possible/available. 8 1/4, 8 3/4, 8.8, 9 1/4,Dana 60. Other than the 8.8, and the 9...

O.p., did you look to see (or ask the owner) what rear it had? Real easy (REAL easy) to tell a 7 1/4 from an 8 3/4. Smooth round backside, 8 3/4, cover on the back with bolts, 7 1/4. Unless you are planning an engine swap, a 7 1/4 could be fine. Of course an 8 3/4 is preferred.

If you're looking for a temporary spare (and I DO MEAN TEMPORARY) a 5x100mm wheel is very close.... and there's tens of thousands of them in boneyards. Be sure to check center hole diameter BEFORE you might need it. If I remember right, each stud is off roughly .030

I'd bet my house that a Lincoln doesn't use a small bolt Mopar pattern......

As I understand it..... Rangers with a four banger got a 7.5, the V6 rangers got 8.8s.

Yep. One way OUT of California is about five times as much $$$ as going IN.

I'm using a pro ratchet in my Opel, from the experience in my 62 savoy. I had a cheetah in the 62, and it was bulletproof, but it wasn't stupid-racecar-driver proof. Too many 1-3-2-3 shifts. I converted the 727 shifter to a powerglide and stuck it in a different car. It worked beautifully as a...

The worst stories ive heard about u-haul trailers are tire related. Give them a GOOD look. Ive never used u-haul trailers myself, tho i did rent a box truck a couple times for my business. I have a nice car trailer that I bought 25 years ago, and a box truck we bought recently (for dirt cheap...

A 17"wheel (or a 20", for that matter) will fit, or NOT fit, depending on wheel width, backspace (kids call it offset), and what tire you put on it. A 17X7 with a reasonable size tire should fit on the front, you'll just have to make sure the backspace is right. A 17x8 on the rear (with...

Some of those fat boys had bigger tits than my gf, and hers aren't bad.

Dry as a bone here, 95° F, nearest track is a hundred and twenty miles away....., and the cars aren't ready. Busy moving dead cars around, and sweating.

Bill, you SHOULD have known what to expect.....

That'll do it!

Agree. ^^^^ this is the correct answer, imo. And a torquestorm is a little small for a V8. Very nicely built, however. And I bet rebuilder ring end gaps are not gonna be real tight/on spec.

I'm betting you mean backspace, not offset. 4 1/2" of offset would mean nine inches of wheel to the inside, or the outside, depending on + or -. Oops.. maybe you meant 4.5 mm of offset (less than a quarter inch)

Not enough backspace (are your new wheels original centerline autodrags?). 215/65x15 same height as a 225/60, almost an inch narrower. (There were, at one time,15x5 or 5.5 auto drags. I haven't seen a pair, other than mine, in years)

I don't know, not a dart owner. But, unless you are building a handling first car, I tend to be conservative on front tires. 215/65 might be too tall, 235/60 too wide (for the car, not the rims.) Why not split the difference? 225/60x15? And to tell the truth, I'd rather see a 3 3/4 or 4" bs

Okay, got to it this morning. (All following are 5 on 4.5) 15x7 polished TT2 VN501 (Old style, 501 is now a different wheel, if I remember right) 3 3/4 bs 16x8 polished TT2 VN515 4 7/8 bs (with a 10x16 slick, fits beautifully on my 62 savoy) Following are all 70s vintage wheels, with typical...
