    Fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    I also have used spectra with 0 issues. Question to OP: Have you ohm checked the unit to ground (when installed) to make sure you don’t have a grounding issue? Resistance will cause the reading to go weird. A buddy of mine had the same issue. He painted his tank straps and has put a rubber pad...

    Nicks Garage 383 build

    1) I don’t know RAMM (op) from anyone or his / her skill level. So this is not personal. But you mention “customer.” Are you a legit machine shop (kinda implied) or are you a crafty engine builder in your home garage helping out fellow car lovers? 2) 383 Mopar was a big block- 383 Chevrolet is a...

    [FOR SALE] Windshield Visors

    What do they fit or maybe just what they came off?

    273 Rocker Arm Oiling

    ...to death. 2) you never stated that in your initial post. You asked how does it work. 3) hand turning and priming an engine due to the geometry involved and oil paths does not always insure you get oil to the top during that procedure. 4) Rusty is a crank old b*stard but he knows his sh*t...

    How does this look?

    Looks like a spark plug. A little lean or just not a lot of run time.

    Well if you figured the rest out then you can figure out this last part. Good luck.

    Brake lights

    Did you adjust the switch? Also, sounds like you have many electrical issues and not a lot of experience with electrical? Every thing needs power and ground. It’s that simple. A test light and understanding how stuff works is needed. The simple answer is we cannot see what you have done or have...

    1965 Offenhauser 273!

    I think you’re right. If you look at the carb the mounting looks like 3 horizontal lines like those are 1” spacers neatly put together. Better get my eyes tested. Syleng1

    273 Rocker Arm Oiling

    At rpm oil is flinging all over the place under the valve cover. Trust me… it’s wet

    1965 Offenhauser 273!

    If that is going in an early an under a stock hood; that will not fit under the hood with all those carb spacers. I have an offenhouser single plane correct for that time period with a 600cfm on my 273 and the air cleaner barely fits.

    Crap! I went to drug users and thieves. I guess I owe them an apology. LMAO! Glad you found them.

    Friggin thieves

    1: battery operated hand grinder with a thin wheel cuts thru a lot. Sorry to tell you only locks keep honest people - honest. 2) crack heads do more damage then I care to mention. May had been just a thief but I see lots of complaints of stolen stuff the last 3.5years. Make drugs legal they say…...

    Shock me..

    I’ve got the silver as seen “everywhere” kyb on my 66 barracuda and the ride is good. The fit works and they look factory. Trying to find any shocks that are “awesome” and not made in CHY-nA is tough. NOS shocks are sadly still 50+years old now. Let us know what you pick please.

    66 Barracuda Seat Question

    No you’re correct. Those seats have a few adjustments up down, forward backwards. Tilt if you adjust them. after rebuilding my 66 seats it felt like it took forever to adjust for my 6ft height. Because of that, the back seat is kinda useless unless you are like 6yo. The steering column also...

    Identify coating on my 273 rocker arms

    Black gloss paint. Rattle can. True value brand. Possibly 2005-2008. I also detect a hint of rosemary. I may be wrong on that one.

    Harmonic balancer tightening (crank bolt) engine in car with 4spd manual transmission

    So you rebuilt an engine completely and you are hung up on one bolt? Maybe a talk with a therapist could help. “The bolt is your friend, imagine you are the bolt. Imagine you are being tightened. You are the bolt. That is tight.” - $50 co pay please.

    Transmission cooler for drag racing

    Ooof! That is running it hot. If you really like your transmission- a plate cooler is good but a fan driven cooler is better. Derail makes really nice stuff but expensive.

    Will my 360 cast crank, cast piston……

    The biggest issue is ring gap. If it were me I’d run it. Just treat her like a lady.

    Short Cycling

    Check your water drain on the bottom. If a spider or bug makes a nest the water builds up on the coils and freezes. Make sure it is dribbling out water. If not a small amount of compressed air can clean it out. Also- if your Freon is low from a leak- it will short cycle. Not enough pressure...

    Nominal DC Current Draw?

    It all depends on what bulbs you have and the amount of resistance in the connectors and wiring. So not an easy answer.

    Rear window defogger

    The factory one looks like a speaker and mounts in the passenger side of the rearward side panel. I will look and see if I have a picture of mine. They are are rare as teeth in a hen. The blower motor is similar to any abody… it’s the attachment to the side defuser that is the ultra rare part...

    Where can I find an overflow cap?

    A wrap or two of electrical tape should do.
