The Nichrome wire gets brittle from the hot/cold cycles it goes through in operation. An analogy is a fuse that is run close to it's rated value. The wire gets hot & it eventually breaks....it does not blow from a current surge. It fails from metal fatigue. The Nichrome wire is wound on a...

If go-fish has a 2.100" rod journal 3.79" stroke crank then he can't get a 6.123" rod with a .984" pin, so the BRC pistons are of no use to you unless you can rework a set of rods, or just buy a set of pistons that have a .927" pin. Tom

Hello, I'm looking for a hood hinge or hood hinge replacement for my dodge dart swinger 1970. I have one spring hinge that is good but the other side, the spring has broke and is causing my hood to sag.

Would some of the gasoline between the carburetor and the cylinder be a vapor?

I suspect you would have blue smoke from the exhaust if excessive oil was getting into the combustion chamber.

Hysteric, Post #66....comes from NGK. You obviously know little about spark generation. Production cars used carbon string high tension leads, often with a resistance as high as 30,000 ohms. Then they had the series resistance of the rotor tip gap ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND the series...

Looking for a rallye dash tachometer, aftermarket (I know classic industries sells one) or stock one. Any year will work (I know specific ones had a redline at 5500)

@go-fish The Molnar crank I got from a member here was at a good price. I think it’s the same one you got. (3.79 with 2.1 rod journals, 360 main) I’m using the Chevy 6.125 “power adder” rods because of a 671 blower on top. I’m already aware of the custom piston cost for my application. Little...

Think they used a b-body for the Mopar. Might be better suited for the forbbodiesonly site

Also pretty confident that all 1968 340 & 383 models were Formula S, unlike 1969. Tach or Vacuum gauge were optional on the package, and I have seen a couple of originals with 120mph speedos.

You are absolutely right my friend. The last picture is definitely not camping. It's what I call being comfortable. :) :) This is the way I "camp" in comfort. :) :) :) :)

Well numbers matching is a different category of checks to original paint. If the body numbers on a 1970 match the Vin on the dash, the VIN on the fendertag, and the VIN's on the motor and transmission then it is most likely correct. The caveat is that the body numbers may have been...

Congratulations to 'Back in Time' (FABO) and 'memike' (FABO) for correctly picking #12 Ryan Blaney to win the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. They each picked up -5 bonus points. Congrats also to 'Alsant' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO), 'fishmens67' (FABO) and 'Yunick13' (FABO) for correctly picking...

Some like it hot, some not. So, I pick up Mabelliene in time for the local car show, and she starts overheating. First the temperature gauge stays normal, then it slowly climbs to overheated range, then slowly works its way back to normal and then goes slowly back to overheating. This seems...

I have a 67. The vent tube runs into the framerail. It's purpose is to let air in as gas is consumed, (and let air out as gas is pumped into the tank, if you ram the pump into the tube and and eventually pull back a little when you're tired of it shutting off automatically). After filling the...

Congrats

Congrats

Thx Mike

I have a couple different styles fentons and indys...14×6's small 4" pattern...

:rofl:

Did anyone else hear what I heard between the 1st cam & the 'old' cam, particularly the 1st one?

Cool, then it's probably seated. Keep us posted on how it goes. You're doin a nice job here.

That phos-chek bomber must have going to that fire next to I 5 along the Grapevine between LA and San Joaquin Valley. They gonna have their hands full with that one. Rough country and the winds can get vicious in that neighborhood. Already had to close I 5 once for it. That traffic will have to...

Definitely makes sense. You betcha I backed her up a wee bit gave a tap with the handle of a wooden mallet, then spun a complete rotation. She appears ready for the distributor. I may be taking this to a local shop that my dad and his racing buddies have know for decades, to put it on their...

Mines better…

Ok did you back it up some? I always do and lightly tap the gear too, to assure it's ALL the way down engaging the oil pump. Sometimes, the shaft doesn't align with the oil pump. That was my concern. But of course, when you go to install the distributor, you'll know!

Did they crash out the whole field or sumthin? All they showed for the last 20 laps that I watched was 4 or 5 cars. Looks like a good speedway, I hope they return to it.
