No one told me that you had to grease them.My squeak was from the sway bar bushings.A few years later some suspension companies started installing grease fittings in their parts. I know...

    273 Rocker on 340

    Did it on several cars. As far back as 1974.Big thing to look for is valve spring clearance as performance springs may be larger diameter compared to the spindly 273 spring. We would grind some from the back of each rocker to clear the retainer and spring. Easy to do. 318-340-360. They work...

    Being a desert car my 64 Dart gauge cluster was literally turning to dust. Along with being sun bleached. Low buck was going with Equus Gauges oil, water, volts,fuel. Work well and have done 3 cars with them. The little red light near the key is the oil light. I like to have both.Un finished work.

    Is 20W-50 too heavy for my 340?

    15/40 Good stuff, least back in the 80's. Ran it in everything from Mack trucks, Cat dozers, fork lifts, even in the salesman cars. Salesmen beat the crap out of those cars. Only one flat chevy cam out of 10. Most had over 100K when we ordered up a new fleet. Macks 400K before rebuilds. Really...

    Fresh from polish!

    Aluminum slots, My favorite ! American Racing makes nice aluminum center caps with or without logo. I have used them on several different brand wheels and they fit the same. About $20 each at Jegs or Summit. You may be able to contact them for screw hole to screw hole size.
