    1960 Valiant Restore: advice welcomed.

    I would get an infra red temp gun and shoot it in several places to verify it is over heating. Shoot the thermostat area, both on the cylinder head side and the radiator hose side. Shoot the top hose right where it goes into the top tank. Shoot the bottom hose where it goes into the water pump...

    MASTER CYLINDER ??

    In my case it's just personal preference. My power brakes are "squishy" (although really strong) and I am just not a fan of how they feel. I want a more positive feedback through the pedal. Nothing is "wrong" with my booster or power brakes in general. Along the same lines, I am not a fan of how...

    Tell me about your ballast resistor failure.

    Only reason I changed the one on Vixen was when I changed to electronic ignition. I took the original one off. Still have it in my organizer. It's still good.

    MASTER CYLINDER ??

    I would say weight savings and the fact that you don't have the power brake booster as a limitation on camshaft size. Power brakes require a pretty strong vacuum signal, which somewhat limits the size of the camshaft. Lastly, in a car as light as an A body, power brakes are really not a necessity.

    How important is 1psi of fuel pressure?

    Higher pressure puts more fuel in a given place faster than lower pressure.

    Small block w/ 3.79 crank

    There are lots of ICON pistons available for the 4" stroke crank with a compression height of 1.445" in most variations except for the dome pistons that come with a 1.465", but they are all made with the .984" pins. I know JE makes a shelf piston for a 4" stroke with a 6.125" rod length and...

    How important is 1psi of fuel pressure?

    Below is a chart that Carter provided for fuel pressure v needle & seat size. It also works for Edel AFB/AVS cabs because Edel copied the Carter fuel delivery system without making any changes.

    Tell me about your ballast resistor failure.

    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...

    Small block w/ 3.79 crank

    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

    [WANTED] 1970 Dodge Dart Hood hinges.

    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?

    Oil Rings, do I have a problem?

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

    Spark Plug Advice Needed

    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...

    [WANTED] Rallye dash tachometer

    Small block w/ 3.79 crank

    @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...

    Chevy vs. Mopar vs. Tesla

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

    68 Barracuda 340

    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. :) :) :) :)

    Wrong Paint from Factory ?

    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...
