    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    It’s got me stumped too. Next time I’ve got the car on the rack I’ll pull off one of the convos and slide on a steelie. I went to wheel vintiques web site and they don’t offer a 15x10 any more. Could be due to people getting away from 15’s. As I said I’m not smearing the company just have had...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    Aj, nothing radical. 440 thru a 727 with m/t sportsman s/r’s 28x12.5-15 with Mopar ss springs. It’s stout but nothing crazy. Just a fun driver that stays cool and fairly reliable. The axles are strange engineering’s that came in the S60. The studs are all torqued to spec with the washers between...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    I never paid attention to the fronts to be honest, to see if the lug nut area deflected while torquing the lug nuts. I never found any lug nuts loose retorquing them after driving the car. That’s why I question the material gauge. Behind the big block there’s a good bit going against them when I...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    Syleng1. Correct the center bore does fit the hub of the axle, haven’t put a micrometer to it but installing the wheel it is not sloppy as in needing a spacer like a hub centric type of wheel would in a universal application. The lug nut taper fits the wheel. I even went so far as to make sure...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    Yes, I can watch the area deflect while torquing. They are wheel vintique. They do come up to torque spec. I even tried going to higher spec as Strange recommends a higher torque than the factory spec would be. It was one of those things I didn’t pay attention to til I had an issue. The rear...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    I thought of that, but I think the “spacer” would split because there’s not a lot of area between the lug hole and the raised rings. There is also some taper from the face of the ring to the lug land. I may just have to stick with the convos. I’ve had a few of the lugs damaged on the cone to...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    Anyone out there running reproduction steel wheels. I’ve got some 15x10 repros and having a problem with damaging lug nut/studs. Correct lug nuts torqued correctly. Oem drum brakes but later from Cordoba. Only thing I can figure is the design of them they have a “ring” on each side of lug nut...

    PST tubular UCA too long??

    Did you bounce the front end or roll car back and forward to allow things to settle after the adjustments? Only thing I can add to the conversation.

    I believe it goes between heater blower switch and resistor.

    Edelbrock performer heads

    I have them on mine. I used the studs. They’re necked down because the engine oil flows through those areas for the rocker lubrication. Now what I can’t answer is why the factory bolts won’t work but I’m guessing it has to do with the casting of the head.

    Old TRW Catalogue, Any body have one?

    I’ve got sealed power catalogs from 1988 1989. The TRW interchange in them does not show that number, nor does the piston to wall clearance chart list it.

    727 Tranny Leaks

    Also be aware of the bushing in the tail shaft of the transmission. If it’s worn it can let the driveshaft yoke walk and leak. Don’t know how thorough the rebuild was. Make sure the selector shaft seals aren’t leaking. They’ll let fluid move and can be hard to diagnose.

    Where does this black wire go (3 pin drivers door jamb switch?)

    Hopefully picture is clear enough to trace it.

    Where does this black wire go (3 pin drivers door jamb switch?)

    Goes to the ignition switch connector and ties into the connector for the switch in the column for the key in buzzer. So when the drivers door is opened and the key is in it provides a ground for the buzzer which is part of the horn relay.

    non-Mopar running issue

    Off the top of my head is the throttle body butterfly closing all the way, next would just be a vacuum leak. Those are just guesses. Maybe clean the TB and see where it goes. Mileage may just be due to fuel blend changes and warmer temps. Never been under the hood of one.

    Are these on this page what you’re looking for? Personally I don’t see shimming damper out as being a good idea but I’ve never dealt with that kind of issue myself. Crankshaft Pulleys-440 Source

    Sounds to me like you have issues with grounds to the dash. Personally when I did my car I ran extra grounds to the dash frame and instrument cluster.

    Big Block muffler choice

    If I remember correct I’m running Dynomax ultra flow 17233. Before I put tail pipes on, it would shake everything around. I’m running 3” with x pipe all the way out on my big block Demon. Fairly docile at idle, but when you squeeze the skinny pedal it opens up. I will say interior noise isn’t...

    Someone's stirring up the Bees Nest about "you" doing the work at Self-checkouts

    The self check out businesses really like when you ask who to send the bill to for your time and doing the job you’re paying them for. I usually get the deer in the head lights look and the complimentary smile that they have no idea what I mean.

    Horn Contact Ring Help .... Ring Not Contacting Turn Signal Switch Contact

    Hi Dana, yes there is a “key” on the wheel and shaft and the splines around the dark colored spline looks to me like they’re rough or damaged, like the keys weren’t aligned. If that’s the case a little work with a file should clean it up.
