    BBP conversion

    they never made BBP front drums for a bodies. if you wanted bigger drums, some cars came with 10" brakes vs the 9's which would entail grabbing a whole spindle set up. which gives you okay stopping power and a parts supply that is rapidly drying up. i mean, the consumables are still available...

    Does anybody make a 2 1/4" exhaust for A body?

    That would be very cool if it’s true, I was a valley kid that spent a lot of time in Dogtown and those dudes are hero’s.

    Fuel tank venting

    When I got my '74 Duster, the factory tank was gone, along with the spare tire well. Slab of sheetmetal on the trunk floor and a fuel cell on it... I wasn't a fan. I got lucky, found a very nice trunk floor, tank, and 5/16" pickup/sender from a '73 Valiant and stuck them in. There are no ports...

    Turning torque for engine

    Without the plugs in it, I would say it should turn without making a click type torque wrench click set between 25 - 35 LBFT.

    Overheating on run stand

    The early 340 came with the cast iron water pump. The 68 4 speed 340 was the hottest one.

    Overheating on run stand

    Pictures are worth 1000 words. I see you are running a cast iron water pump. (driver's side lower hose exit) Just wondering if that old school water pump is flowing enough for your updated 340 engine to keep it cool? ☆☆☆☆☆

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    Honestly, I don't mind the looks of the Rivian, as I've seen about a dozen of them now and have gotten used to them. Plus, as you say, at least they look like a pickup, with an actual (i.e., useful) bed in the back. I kinda like the looks of that little "R3" thing (from your link). Looks like...

    1971 Duster Lower Radiator Support Measurements

    Hold the top using a metal brace . Then spread the bottom with a porta-power and weld. Do this with a straight K-member bolted in place so your only spreading from the K'member front. Be sure your rails are not being pulled together with a bent K-member. . Important to check the width the...

    Turning torque for engine

    It takes a little while to overheat. Once it starts to creep up, it will go as high as 220 maybe higher and I shut it down. The hoses are like rockhard seems like too much pressure. I’ve done head gasket test. Three times. All three times negative. It’s not a head gasket problem. It overheats...

    Turning torque for engine

    I have already been through the cooling system diagnosis I have a three row champion radiator two electric fans . I’ve tried different water pumps, thermostats fans, etc. it’s not the cooling system. I’m just looking for a turning value for turning the motor over. The engine is in the car. The...

    ride height question

    I think it looks really good. If you want it lower, you could cut the sway bar links to get more clearance. And like SIX225 said above, when using rubber control arm bushings only torque control arm bolts after setting final ride height.

    How much 134a?

    Thanks everyone. Finally got an 80 degree day. Added about 9 more ounces of 134a for a total of about 28 ounces. Low side is 22 and high side is 180. Vent temp is about 43. The static pressure at ambient is about right. I'm pretty sure that the evaporator temperature control switch is cycling...

    Turning torque for engine

    Radiator type /size? rad cap? fan(s)? coolant type? timing? How soon does it overheat? highest temps? in traffic and around town or highway or both? Are you saying the motor is or is not in the car?

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    I recently watched the drag race callout where they towed the Porsche and raced the other Porsche. Admittedly, they gave it a good run for towing another vehicle, but it also highlighted how much marketing and sneaking Tesla does. Musk is great about sensationalism and he is a mainly an idea...

    BBP conversion

    I'm looking to change my wife's 63 Dart to BBP so I can: 1- Run a bigger brake and 2- Run BBP Astro Slots that I got from a buddy. I have a stock booster for a 63. I am not necessarily wanting to change to disc brakes. My question is, has anyone ever gone from SBP drums to the bigger Drums, and...

    La318 cylinder head question

    You said that you had a stuck valve. now you say it's not stuck. How did you diagnose this? a cylinder balance test? a Compression test? a Leak-down test? The sound the pistons make when they hit the hung-open valve? The 12.5% powerloss? Maybe it's time to back up the us and start over?
