i don't think the Chilterns book is wrong. i think its a lift n shift direct from the factory manual... my motor has the same mains clearance spec in the factory manual for a 265 six as the 318 because it has the same basic main journal and bearings as a 318.... i use a couple of 318 caps...

if you have disk brake spindles if you have some vented or none vented rotors of appropriate size.. the sumitomo calipers off a toyota can be made to fit... and fit with 14 inch wheels bit of a fiddle but the mounting centres for the lugs on the caliper is 3.5 inch spaced so they bolt up to...

I've run a similar set up with no splash shield in the Uk for the last 20 years an no problems what so ever. if its a fair weather car it will be fine without....drive creeks and fords and on the beach maybe not mine is all home brewed piece of angle clamped to the dizzy body with a big...

ah the VW bug crank gear puller... also works well enough to get your pitman arm off... think i was naughty and used a 2 piece bearing puller centred between the two rows of teeth, had to knock off the cam sprocket though. with the engine in the right place it came off the dowel, but i can...

Well the attitude to slant engines changed.... GM vauxhall slant 4, in production from 1966 :). GM obviously felt it was OK to try the crazy mopar idea out on its european cousins...

clean it hone it new bearings new rings lap in the valves run it 1) look for pistons cracked at the lands or pin boss 2) main caps that do not wedge into the register that's all i used to do in my youth..... (i got quite a long way without a micrometer calipers bore gauge etc, ignorance...

Perhaps...not what you are looking for but one of the most space constrained engine bays on an A body is the Right hand drive valiant in Australia Australian headers may be an option they will get round an automatic trans starter on the LHD, drivers side of the engine,,,but might need...

looks great

chinese slant 6 hemi 6 holden 6 distributor modeled after a range of Australian Bosch distributors. they just machine the housing and shaft to different lengths (a tiny difference) for each motor. Uses a chinese clone of an australian bosch 4 pin HEI. the original module was called a...

I'd check the pump cover for scoring. polish it flat again on wet-n dry paper sitting on glass or similarly flat work top if you can see the arc of the impellers carved into the cover it needs work check the impeller clearances are within spec, drive to driven ring lobe distances if you can...

I have a similar flywheel and clutch to a slant 6 mine was a hemi 265 (upright 6) clutch 9.5 inch 3 bolt 3 lever borg and beck I swapped to a vented steel flywheel and as part of that we fitted a 10 inch diaphragm clutch It was an Exedy branded clutch used mostly on the holden v6, i.e...

well a borg and beck 3 lever style just uses coil springs.. constant force... hookes law and all that, to clamp the friction disk to the flywheel. pressing the peddle uses much the same effort throughout a diaphragm is easier on the leg as the design means it gets easier to press the peddle...

thats a lot of money for a BBD you might find you can get yours professionally rebuilt for less than that. really depends if you just want a nice new one, or you have a problem with the old one...

you can probably modify what you have for success the foams are usually stuck onto hessian backing if you peel out the middle and the edges of the side bolsters and re glue with a wider middle foam, the trenches for the listing wire will be in the right place you will have to fight the edge...

yeah we packed 70 million people into a space the size of Michigan... you got 38m in California which is bigger, its like a michigan and a half

well my journey home after work each night uses a 4-5 lane highway passed heathrow airport the speed limit ranging from 70- 40 mph depending on the day, ita variable zone. it is set based on congestion and air quality... its also a "Smart Motorway" so every 300 yrds or so there is an...

there is nothing to stop you taking the rods jets and little jet spring from one and putting them in the other.... the wrong carb with a decent base, none leaking throttle shaft and a bit of linkage you don't need will still work better than a worn one, just configure its jetting as per the...

here in the UK anything over 40 years, if registered as a historic/club vehicle, No Test...... (although that only been the case for 10 years and they are consulting on changing it back) unless you want to have a test. I go after i have taken it all apart and put it back together.... second...

did early 60s cars in the US run a heater where the motor was parallel to the bulkhead and all inside the car. i.e no bulkhead hole? they did in Australia....hence Performance cars in the 70s still used the mid 60s heater to make more space in the engine bay if the heater in question...

the data questions and comments under the advert for the arms seems to be contradictory "Will these work on a ‘68 barracuda with ‘73-76 A body disc brakes" "No" which would imply that the balljoint in the arms does not fit a "big" balljoint spindle therefore the Arms are standard small...

Naa don't worry... i scraped through in applied physics.....taught science to kids whose main interest was expensive shades,Dr Dre, and unlaced, fresh outta tha box, training shoes, still with the price tags on. They often suggested my mother didn't know my father when i was born.... and in...

Ah hang on those arms at 63-68 arms small balljoint arms the spindles are potentially "big balljoint" taper spindles, the Ad. doesn't say but spindles for the 4.5 PCD rotors usually are dr diff for some bushings to get your upper joints to fit the big hole in the spindle properly Mopar...

OK so the disk brake kit will widen the track ever so slightly...no biggy the spindles may be the slightly taller type...again no big issue it just alters the roll centre of the car slightly.. the upper arms are reproduced standard arms, they'd have to be noticeably rubbish really to cause a...

no probs.... wasn't having a dig.... which is why i got onto ECU the more you stuff you cram in, the more it becomes a control unit, making decisions based on more inputs than 1 trigger signal and the current flowing, etc. coil per plug and an ECU which know which coil goes next leaves...

i can't see what you can do to eliminate slew rate..... you can choose more expensive components to reduce it but every switch.. points, or trigger, optical, hall effect, magnetic, and the associated electronics to make them work to do the job we want have a switching time the light in your...

went through similar worries vaseline so thin that the pressure of the connector connecting smears it off the contact parts leaving just the exposed bits covered, if the connector is good the pressure between the parts should keep the "connected" bit reasonably good for a year or two but...

Oxygen from the air is "reduced" The organic chemicals in the mixture that makes up the fuel are "oxidised" happens quickly, rapid release of energy as heat, bloody electrons again.... man they get everywhere. :rolleyes: D

no i just found the picture when sorting stuff the other week and thought it might be of interest. someone went to the effort of making the box fit the car rather than the car fit the box at some point over the last 20 years, and during that time I've messed about with a T5 and never got round...

Oh you nearly tempted me to get into joules per coulomb and coulombs per second you have to create a plasma and then use the fact that a plasma is conductive to maintain the spark creating the plasma takes more voltage than maintaining the plasma a spark travels through a plasma no plasma...

Was digging through some images and found this.... its a Tremec 3550 that has had the front of the rear shifter housing machined flat down to the rail, and a 1 piece cover fitted over the mid shift position and the newly machined rear shifter housing front part, looks like it fits against the...
