    Spring perch pics

    Edit for correction. The original perches still on the housing measure 33/64 in the center hole, NOT 13/64 as I originally stated. I was trying to keep too many numbers in my head to get back to the house from the garage, so I could post easier on the laptop instead of my phone. :realcrazy:

    Spring perch pics

    Y'all are exactly right!! I was trying to keep too many numbers in my head and posted the wrong one for the originals, which I will go back and edit now. I went out and measured the original again and it is 33/64. That's the half way good one....the other one is toast! Sorry for the mix up...

    Spring perch pics

    I said the originals measured 13/64, if you look at the first post again. It's barely big enough for a 1/2" drill bit to fit the hole on the original that is still on the housing....but wallowed out from too many years of side stepping the clutch. :eek: The perches are on an A body 8 3/4...

    Spring perch pics

    I like the Moroso ones after looking at them when @Icetech mentioned them a bit ago. If I were putting them in something besides a run of the mill street car, I would fix the ends to mimic the MP ones so they would be less prone to break.

    Those would work good, and save fiddling with making bushings. :thumbsup:

    Spring perch pics

    Are they curved up at the ends like the factory ones? Wouldn't matter in my putt around 65 Barracuda, but if you put perches without the ends being somewhat boxed by the curved up ends, a high HP car will wad them up in short order.

    Spring perch pics

    Just posting what my ultra high dollar Harbor Freight digital calipers said. Dana asked for a pic of the new ones vs old, and there it is. The hole in the old one still on the housing may be out of whack. Holes in both old perches are wallowed out and the one above is the best one. I plan on...

    Spring perch pics

    @Dana67Dart Here is a pic you requested in another thread the other day. Center hole in the new MP spring perches measures 11/16. Hole in the originals measures 33/64, and the center stud of some E body springs I have laying around has an OD of 1/2”. Hope this helps. You need to make some...

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    Now that you've got the voltage regulator running its own show, is there still a reason to supply voltage to the old "Out of a job" computer? Asking for a friend with an 88 D100 who will need to know! :lol:

    Power bench seat

    Do you have any large barge C bodies in the back 40? A lot of them came with power seats that you could rob the tracks and electrical stuff from. Might be a good idea to wire it up on a relay when you do it.

    Entry fees are higher than a cats back! It's been a long time since I went to a dragstrip regularly.....are entry fees that high everywhere?

    Headliner or Glass... Which should go First?

    I agree with all....headliner first. Be prepared to prick your fingers on the little teeth that hold the headliner. I always find a few band aids before I start a headliner...and just take them into the car with me....lol.

    Not mine 1967 commando 273 automatic with air fastback Barracuda (rough) but there.

    They ruined the spring that holds the jack....I ain't bidding on that thing now! :rofl:

    Rear end

    Go to a self serve car wash with spray wands, and blast all that crud off the cover. Be prepared to get splattered with some of it....lol. If you get that junk off the cover and bolts, you will be able to see the gear ratio tag unless someone has removed it. I'll start the betting that it's 2.45...

    How many times has a parts car become a builder

    I had a 74 Dart Sport that a guy on Moparts gave me to get it out of his yard so the War Dept. would quit :mad: at him. All I had in it was the cost of diesel to go get it an hour away. It sat around for years and I would rob do dads off of it for other cars every now and then. Years later, I...

    I'd love to have an Orange Cougar Eliminator. A guy I went to high school with had one. It had a 428 Cobra Jet engine....not sure if it came in it or not.

    Parts Cache

    Doc....congrats on the great score! Here's an idea about sealing up things that might rust if stored long term. My wife has a kitchen do dad called a Food Saver. It's a vacuum pack thingy that you put food in thick plastic bags and it sucks the air out of the bag and then heat seals the end so...

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    My plan for the kickdown linkage on mine with the 5.9 is to source something from a truck or van that came with a 46RH or 46RE since I'm keeping the MPFI and beer keg intake. I think that setup might be a cable if I remember right.

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    You do a good job of finding stuff! Me? I have a tote container full of 50 years of linkage stuff that I dump into the floor and sift around and hope I find something....lol. Did you get the kickdown arm that bolts on the trans from a Dodge dealer or find it NOS?

    Part of the reason that my '70 340 Duster may be disappearing!!

    Keep your Duster and just make the payments on the machine. My wife is a quilter too, and gone to a quilt show right now! Her sister has a Handy Quilter? longarm machine that they both run the heck out of between the 2 of them. Does your wife's machine have the computer deal that makes it pretty...

    SUPER CHARGER BIG PAIN IN THE A**

    Wayne....I can't offer any help, but maybe give you a laugh. One of my best friends has a body shop, like you, and has painted his whole life. He was building a car several years ago and got the idea to put a Procharger supercharger on the 470 stroker he was putting in the car. He had all kinds...

    I see more than enough stuff laying there to make it worth the money. $4K in intakes, $1600 in Gull Wing spoilers......on and on. Besides that, both @RAT ROD AL and @GTX JOHN didn't balk at it...and those gentlemen know their stuff! I'm betting it's close enough for you to transport yourself...

    Pics of how dougs headers and a borgenson steering box fit.

    Yeah, it's not all that bad....but I would think the Borgeson box is a little smaller than a manual Mopar box is why it surprised me. I've never seen a Borgeson and Mopar manual side by side though. It could easily be clearanced with a little heat, 1" socket and a few taps with a BFH.

    Thanks for posting the pics. I would have thought it would have 47 miles of room with the little box.
