What's the parts list to replace the trans with an auto? Can he keep his driveshaft? If originality was a concern I still wouldn't hesitate to swap the trans and keep the original parts crated up to go with any future sale.

I heard some QC issues on the UCA's from QA1 lately. I'm sure they will get things sorted out and treat customer's properly (I may be mistaken too). I like the SPC's but also recently purchased Firm Feel UCA's for my kid's '65 Barracuda. When I bought the SPC's they were intended for a full...

Thanks. Yes, the Duster was a friends who could not complete the full restoration due to health. I was building a Valiant that got derailed by a chassis shop so I put all the go-fast parts together n the Duster. It is a stock appearing car but I have: SPC Gen I Upper Control Arms, QA1 Lower...

Adjustable upper control arms, Stage II Dr. Diff brakes, 1.03-1.08" torsion bars, big sway bar, Borgeson, adj. strut rods, and most importantly GOOD shocks are pretty much a benchmark for a street car that could do an autocross or canyon carving and you wouldn't be fretting over handling and...

This is great for turbo applications as well.

My hang up is the theoretical multi-state road trip. I wouldn't leave without doing a brake job if needed. I'm talking about breakdown potential and severity. Let's take a car and assume it's all sorted out, EFI or carb, and poop hits the fan with your fuel system. Potentials- EFI: In-tank fuel...

First, who do you know pouring oil down the drain? Damn. I would say if you really want to dig into it, learn where the data comes from, how to tune for it, like to see improvements over time, then a carburetor is for you. If you want to really dig into efi and learn to tune and see...

@n00blike It sounds like you're on the right track. You have figured out that you need your engine to be tuned right whether you do EFI or carburetor. To achieve this with a carb you will need an appropriate carb that is tuned well and having this knowledge is key. User will need to...

I'd start looking at machine shops within an acceptable drive. If you can pick up it would save a ton.

@68cuda408 @68 A Do you guys have a part number and install thread? I looked at teir site and there isn't anything much past the 50's.

I think Slant Daily Garage mentions it but is there a published list of drill bit sizes and lengths needed? Also taps, fittings and tube diameter for crossovers; he mentions some things about re-tapping in his updated video on block drilling.

Looks very similar to my 73 Duster. 1.03” bars, Helwig sway bar, Fox shocks, Borgeson, … but I have Gen I SPC arms and QA1 lowers. 225/60-15, Cordoba brakes. I daily mine most of the year. Very sporty handling, just a touch harsher ride but very much worth it. I would call this like an...

I like Firm Feel and SPC Gen I or II. With your set up I would, at the very least, use Moog offset bushings. There is more to be had beyond what the bushings can give you though. Use the search function to look up reviews on specific UCA’s you’re interested in and follow the builds that are...

PM'ed

Here is an interesting tidbit that won't be surprising to many: The torsion bar pockets are horribly welded. A little known trick is to cut the floor away and access the crossmember from the topside/inside, weld the torsion bar anchor from inside the crossmember as well as the exterior of it...

@69Chrgr PM'ed. I'm right down the highway from you and can come get the parts. They would be really helpful for my kid's Barracuda.

Got another strike against the Sniper. My dad's '73 Barracuda 340 has had the Sniper on it for less than a year and it is having a problem now. I chose to stick with the carburetor just recently when I decided to rehab my fuel system. I have a stumble at a certain point in cruise mode too. My...

My Dad's buddy has an R code 427 Galaxy (not for sale). I forgot the story on it but it was originally ordered by a guy in the know like a salesman's friend or brother or some such. Barn find through the Ford grapevine. This guy is a Ford nut! He ordered a 1969 Cobra Jet from his Navy ship in...

Yes, he has some me rallyes he’ll put it on it but he didn’t get the chrome wheels. He says the engine had a different carb, ran rough, and that is one thing he mentioned he changed but he tuned it and It runs really well, idles great. Solid structure to it, doors open real good. Looks to...

1972 Plymouth Roadrunner 340 / Auto / B3 Petty Blue Bench seat, column shift. Solid car but has some surface rust in trunk, pass. side lower quarters patched horribly, and driver’s fender is rough. Rear bumper is slightly bent, grill has minor stuff, doors are roached, seats rough. Really solid...

225/60-15 and 255/60-15. On the front you have to max out that fender rod or lengthen it. Suspension settings may help a little.

Here’s a good comparison. I deep down wanted white letters out but I initially went with black. It bothered me after a few weeks so I had them swapped. Kinda dumb but these tires are going to be on there for a long time.

HERE I have a 1998 Jeep with a 5.9. This is a pretty common issue. Just about any PCV you go buy at a parts store or rock auto will be the wrong size for the grommet and likely not be the correct spec for that engine. Who knows, they may have all been replaced by the 4.0L PCV ??? A lot of...

You are right and I have used Pete because of knowledge and customer service. It is truly top notch. I do also like certain other vendors outside of FABO. I have advertised word of mouth for Bergman Autocraft with high praise elsewhere too.

Who probably gets them from General Spring. I have a suspicion that GS is cheaper than everybody else because they are the source.

General Spring of Kansas City has been my go to for E and A-body springs. They are top quality and are cheaper to boot.

Sorry for being over a year late Neil. Never mind the Jeep headers, just about all headers 8th tube angle forward to give oil filter clearance. Run heat shield where appropriate

That's wild! I thought my idea was weird (aka cool). I have a wrecked 2014 VW TDi that I want to use to repower a 4 door Valiant.
