The NAPA store owner ordered a second mount, it came in today. At first glance: It must be different 'cuz it's in a different looking box! Yup. A completely different animal. The rubber was fully molded around the ferrule. The first one was missing a bit around the edges. The flanges are...

I bought a new one from Napa. It has a NAPA sticker on the box. I realize that means nothing. Besides the 'long' ears being tacked 'un-square' to the mount tube, the rubber is just sitting in the oblong metal piece. OEM mounts have that rubber BONDED to the tube. I can move the mount...

In that case, 'Thank you!' for listening. And a repeat: No whine, gripe, complaint intended. I wasn't on the verge of starting one. I had an honest question to start with. Having asked about it a couple of times already, I was hesitant to pester them. I WAS curious about the lack of any...

I got tracking info and The Brown Store has it in hand. So...now is when I start with the breath-holding?

So it has been said, so I have been told, so I have heard. There was a 'probably' in that part of the conversation, to be exact. I have one'a those jacks. Problem is getting the car high enough to get the jack AND trans rolled out from beneath OR back in. Been there.... I'll guess a...

Let us not turn this into a bash, folks. Please. Back off the biscuits? ?? I love biscuits! ...and I have zero intention of turning them on/toward anyone. At the moment. Walker's shortbread biscuits are grand! Let's keep it G-rated, too. Thanks for y'alls points of view.

The faeries hath heard. I got a call today: 'Here's what is due. It's on the way probably tomorrow.' Thanks Mr. Faerie! Just a coinkydink I'm sure. Not that I care WHAT it is/was particularly. Now all I have to do is crawl around under my car...get crushed by what I USED to get in/out...

Everything he said. What two do you have in mind? I think I could say, but I'm not asking what I think. Thanks.

I have not asked. They know it's been over a year. I would prefer they get the idea of better communication all by their own selves. I was told last I asked about it (April of this year) '...cases are done. In process. Couple of weeks'. NOT having a core does NOT seem to be the issue...

Signatures no longer have pics in 'em? When did that happen? Ha! Keen on observation am I, 'eh?

I understand such a 'resolution' is certainly a possibility. I would prefer to avoid that. Yes, that does beg the question, Yep. Got that. THAT is part of asking the question. I could send 'em a link to this thread. ;) Thanks for the points of view.

I did not say I was not going to do anything. I asked for the opinions of others. My point was to find out if my getting a bit irritated about the whole thing was out of line. I could well hear, 'They may be doing their best and dealing (still) with supply line issues of the past few years...

It's an outright buy of one of their rebuilds, a no core deal. They don't have my transmission. There is no 'take charge' to it. I don't want to hear from them what I heard from the local shop, 'Here's your deposit, thank you for not doing business with us.' My car has been sitting since I...

And then find another 833-er I would trust. I wouldn't know where to start. A local transmission shop wanted over $3500 to install a rebuild 'kit' in MY trans (with me bringing the trans to their shop)...and they would work ONLY with 'their' kits. Clearly, I heard, 'We don't want your...

I put a deposit down on a rebuilt 833 just over a year ago, from a known fine and upstanding 833 rebuilder. At the time, lead time was said to be 6-9 months. Fine. In October I asked about it, was told, 'First of the year.' Fine. In April I asked about it, was told, 'In a couple of weeks.'...

Hhhmmm. A week gone by and evidently no one knows what I'm talking about? This IS the place to ask website questions, is it not?

Considering getting a new unit as opposed to drilling holes for a return line. I see quite a few options over pages of looking. Might just try a bulkhead fitting, too. Any recommendations for a known GOOD unit? 'Good' would include a sender that works with the OEM gauge, a float that might...

I started getting the above compiled list some months back. Never asked for it, it just showed up in my email. Now, it's gone. I kind'a got used to it and would like to have it back. A quick perusal of options/content and I didn't find such a thing. How to? Thanks.

100% and a big AMEN! It's a gorgeous car. How about some more pics...a general all-round and inside show? To the 'add this/check that' parts...why? 11" of vacuum is terrific! My 340 runs 5-6"...and the brakes work just fine (vacuum brakes), so what's to fuss with? If yours uses a quart of...

It's not just 'hot rod shops' and it (goobered work) isn't new, either. One of my engines, a local NHRA-holding machine shop that did the machine work ordered a set of custom pistons. Come assembly time and checking clearances, the head was pushed 1/2" off the deck with one of those 'custom'...

I put a dual quad on my car when it had a '73 340 (low comp smog motor) in it. Used two out-of-the-box Carters, 650 AVSs IIRC. Progressive linkage. From sea-level to 4000' el. never had a problem starting or running. Got over 20mpg on the highway. Drove it cross country at least once. Had...

Thanks for the input(s).

Re: 1969 DODGE DART Edelbrock 75763 Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing It seems the Chevy versions of this manifold have a notch cut in the L/R divider wall...the Mopar versions do not. Is there a reason for that? Seems hard to believe that gap does something in...

I owned a '66 Dart GT with an HP 273/4-speed. I got rid of it 'cuz I could not find any nice wheels to fit the 4-bolt 13" setup. I owned a '68 Dodge Charger 440HP R/T 833 car. It was gorgeous. I traded it for a Chevelle with a 396 'cuz it was well known that to build a hot-rod, you HAD to...

I read the thread...but maybe missed it. I see no mention of the wattage spec of the bulbs used. You have to know that. That style of bulb comes in at least 18W, 12W, 3.7W and 2.7W. THOSE figures are dependent on the voltage listed...which varies from 12.8-14V. The color (K number) will...

I ordered a high-bucket cover set from Legendary a couple years back. LONG wait. I didn't notice until they were installed that the welt in the backside of the upper cover was crooked. No, not installed crooked, but sewn in crooked. Very disappointing for the kilo+ bucks paid (with...

I'm impressed. Starting from 'Help, what's the problem?' to finding the problem, to resolving the problem...and that included engine removal, a head set AND cam replacement...all in one thread in a few days. Not saying it's never happened, just that it's unusual. I'm sure someone like...

...replacements for the (OEM) chrome-plated plastic bits that fit on the end of the temp selection/control levers. OEM is OK but not critical. I do see aftermarket pieces available...for $20 each and +$10 shipping. That's a bit much. IF OEM, preferably with the 'chrome' NOT flaking...

Whoa. A Jeep that you can order with a Hellcat? Clearly, I haven't kept up with 'stuff'. Thanks for the input!!

Went to the local track last night. It was mostly test-n-tune, street legal stuff... A '65 Mustang. Didn't make enough noise to even HEAR. Hit 2nd gear hard enough to move the car MORE than his line launch. Ran within thousandths of a perfect light AND within thousands of his dial-in...
