    You help one neighbour with their car and it snowballs.

    I do a lotta neighborhood non-puter stuff, cash no receipts. I still maintain a lotta classics from my business, old, good customers. Biggest mistake my wife and I found, was when anchored in a quiet bay with a buncha other boats, . . don't even whisper the word "mechanic" for any...

    Beginner Road Track Racing: Feedback on Engine Options Wanted

    I would like to suggest, this is going to be a long process, it may be a ton of fun to go to a track near you and see if you can join a crew of a current race team ( any class ). You will learn aspects of "racecraft", rules, courtesies, car building, stuff you're gonna work on, so get to see it...

    Stock Market

    Let the stop-losses do their jobs, the market is up huge, a 10% pullback would not be unexpected. Consumers are stressed, Visa is having increased late payments, Walmarts sales are down except high priced items. Competitive sales are increasing, prices are being forced down. Walmart, Loblaws and...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    If you have an infinate amount of cold water supply, you can put any thermostat temp you want in there, and it will continue to run at thermostat temp, as the thermostat itself modulates the coolant flow. Some of you seem to feel the thermostat opens fully at whatever temp, and stays fully open...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    I've often mused how raw water cooled boats (inboards and outboards too) running in various raw water temps from 32* melting glacial lakes, oceans, as some of my boats have been, how they maintain the 140* engine running temps that raw water thermostats run, (to avoid mineral (salt) crystalizing...

    Brakes

    I think I'd be checking the front calipers to see if the are seized. Try pushing the caliper pistons back into the caliper, see if you can get them to move. Mopar had a real issue with plastic caliper pucks/pistons seizing, especially sitting for long periods no use. Good luck.

    Brake pedal course

    Adjust the brakes. A lotta pedal travel can be wasted just moving the shoes out to the drum, - then you get "pedal". Adjust the shoes out closer to drum, you get pedal sooner.

    Brake Pedal Diagnostics

    If you put in new pads and shoes, you won't get pedal till the 4 front pads are in full contact with the rotor, so that can take a bunch pumping, and if the rear shoes are out of adjustment, it can take a buncha pedal movement/pumps to get un-adjusted shoes out to contact the drums, so no pedal...

    833 belhousing adapter ring

    Seems to me you just buy the 2 adapters and "stack" the 2 together. Flatwashers on the retainer bolts hold rings in place.

    Trouble Installing 18 spline A-833 through dual disc clutch assy.

    The Hemi 18 spline input is on the large input bearing. As I remember it, couldn't you just undo the front retainer bolts, remove the imput shaft, - and use it as a pilot to align the disc splines, then put it back in the trans, and install. There's an issue with the fork.

    Small block headers: worst to best fitting. List your experience.

    The 5303 had the #1 tube go straight down thru the "Y" gap in the k-frame, then went under the k and steering gear. Was first header I bought for the Dart from the Mopar Parts counter, kept warranty too. Was one of the first 3 things the Hustle Catalog suggested for improvement.
