    ujoint stiffness?

    Just FYI, I also tap each cap loop once the clips are in. Yoke and shaft both. It helps center the caps and take the stress off. One thing a lot of people overlook is putting the yoke back on in the same orientation it was removed. Believe it or not it can make a noticeable difference in the...

    904 band adjustment question

    That’s an old school way of adjusting the front band, and it does work for why it’s done. The idea is that you stop the driveshaft with the band and the back off until the band lets it turn again. This gives the closest tolerance of the band adjustment. It can help solve shift flares and makes...

    Any lube that would stop front suspension squeaking?

    A “tick”??? You gotta lot to learn about AZ people. We’re way more off than that.

    Any lube that would stop front suspension squeaking?

    Obviously it’s just a joke.

    converting to electric

    Electrics have their drawbacks, but they also have their advantages. After a decade of running both at different times I would have to say mechanical is more reliable. I run electric myself because of those advantages. Instant fuel to the carb and therefore instant starts with very little...

    Any lube that would stop front suspension squeaking?

    Like I told a friend one day. 1.Find a low spot in the road and dump 10 gallons of 90wt so it makes a big puddle. 2.Drive through it really fast. May take multiple passes.

    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I’m toning mine down a bit as well. It’s still capable with the 5.9, 42rh overdrive and 3.55 sure grip, but adding AC recently feels like it’s turning it more cruiser.

    EQUIVALENT CAM FOR 383 GTS 4SPEED

    I had one lifter and one lobe go on the cam on one of our motors. The general consensus was “The oil filter will catch it” NOT The metal showered on to two rods at the crank destroying the rod bearings and crank both. Also scored the cylinders from crap flying off the crank. It did this before...

    Electric in Florida? No wonder it overheats.

    EQUIVALENT CAM FOR 383 GTS 4SPEED

    If your motor ate a lifter that bad guess where all that metal went. That may even be why one cylinder is a bit lower on compression. I know, nobody wants to hear that.

    Went to a car show today.

    That’s what I do, both and make it a day. I meet Bob and Cheryl at the pavilions until 2-3 pm, then head back across to 67th and Bell then have dinner there. I love driving those multilane lighted freeways at night too.

    Went to a car show today.

    I’m usually the same way, but the guys wanted to do a Mopar lineup in this show. Guarantee ya the next outing is going to be a 50 mile drive for lunch instead.

    Went to a car show today.

    I also noticed that some of the repeating car shows have as much as doubled the fee to enter your car. Another reason to not do shows any longer.

    42RH advice needed

    From the sounds of what you described something should be fairly obvious. Or, maybe a better description is in order.

    42RH advice needed

    He says the engine revs but the car doesn’t seem to accelerate. It’s either slipping or the converter is trashed. Either way it warrants a pan drop as an inspection.

    42RH advice needed

    If the trans did what you described with the new fluid it would smell like a forest fire. Drop the pan and post a couple of pics. That will tell a lot. Sounds like a burnt forward clutch to me, and possibly the front band.

    Went to a car show today.

    There were a couple of things I really didn’t like about this car show. One, was that even though we all paid the same entry fee we got put in an entirely different parking lot. That’s why you don’t see very many people or cars where we were. Then on top of that for the first time ever they were...

    Used up over half of my bad words.

    I like dogs as well, as long as they don’t intrude on others uninvited. And I was only able to click agree once unfortunately. I also get the “support animal” thing, but if you need to take your dog into the grocery store for “support” then you should just stay home and order delivery. One day...

    Used up over half of my bad words.

    So the other day I mentioned being bored, so I decided to go to the local Pick a Part just to see if there was anything interesting. When I pulled into the parking lot some guys big *** dog ran over and jumped up on my drivers door and stuck his head in my window. I friggin lost it. Not the end...

    904? 46RH? 727? Opinions?

    When I did mine they only made a kit without any speed adjustments, so I built this setup myself.

    904? 46RH? 727? Opinions?

    I have a 42RH in my dart that shifts OD and lockup fully automatically by using pressure switches off the governor port of the trans. The switches are even adjustable so you can set your preferred shift speeds. Or turn both off to simulate a standard 904. Same can be done with the 46RH and...

    Sanden A/C Compressor to fit a 273

    Makes me want to buy a water jet table. I recently installed a Classic Air kit and was shocked how much the brackets were. They even come all scratched up. They told me they all do from their supplier.

    Maybe consider the 3/8 insulator instead of the spacer.
