Hello, I have read Bill Dedmans’(from Conway Arkansas) posts before,and wondered what has become of him? He does not look active any longer? Anyone know him personally?

I too want to have a lift. This looks a bit scary to me. I see the cars sitting up there, but still doesn’t look as safe as a four post lift. Not cheap either

Details? What brand? How much overhead required, floor minimum thickness, and AC requirements? Am aging out myself and this would be a certain garage upgrade. Thanks

Mine would be either ‘64dart , or ‘67-‘68 dart. V8 of course. But I’m playing with this 6 banger more door

Quote” …and run a straight distributor With a turbo Volvo distributor vacuum advance with retard. Yes it goes both ways.....vacuum advance and boost retard in one unit.Quote” What models would this vacuum advance have been available on? This is interesting idea.

My 72 valiant.225,904,71/4. Got super six with 95% of turbo stuff, and a ferd 8” for the back.

This is my 72. Looks good from a distance, but I did repair all the wheel well rot with new steel. Could use upholstery on front seat, but overall nice more door. Have almost all my turbo parts for the 225. Bunch of car guys I know don’t understand “why I would want a 6 cylinder 4 door” But I...

Shoot, Probably around 5 or 6 y/o. We had Tonkas Hotwheels, and model car Amt and whatnot. I thought it was so cool that a pile of parts could be turned into a car. (Ha ha still do) . I suggested at 10 years old when the family VW square back motor blew, that we “just get a motor for it” and do...

Hello, I too used the scarebird kit. About 10 years now. Used a duster m/cyl. If I recall , Chevy rotors, calipers and hoses, maybe not the “best “ way to swap to disc brake, as far as keeping it factory, but it works well, and I really have had no issues. This is a budget 4 door.

1967 Dodge Coronet. 4 door; was like a garnet red / black vinyl. Loved that car , got t-boned by a Camaro Halloween night 1979 in a McDonald’s lot. Insurance totaled It. Wish I had it now, of course it was fixable.What did I know , I was a dopey kid. Bought a 46 Plymouth business coupe next for...

Okay, Got it now. But not for nuttin, probably won’t add it to my vocabulary anyway. Sounds , well not that bright. Thanks

Okay I am hearing this saying on the streets, as well as on TV; They say, “Not for Nothing” or pronounced “Not for Nuttin” . I am born and raised in NewYork, but could someone explain what this even means? Haha,

Thanks for replies I will look into that.

Hello, I have been collecting parts for my turbo installation, but I am stalled at this point as I don't know what to purchase . I need a waste gate and blow off valve. When I look on eBay I am left unsure and just want to pull the trigger but don't want to waste money. Have every thing else...

Joined the Air Force in 1979. Was proud to wear the uniform. Was sent to Korea in 1981. North Koreans had a Sam missle site placement that made the South Koreans and USA nervous. Thought the whole thing was going to blow up. This in the first 2 weeks of arriving there. Was a little scared, but...

Ok sacrilege, 2jz turbo installation on a “A” body .

RustyRatRod, Brother i meant no offence to you or your abilities. I am sure you are competent in what you do. You clearly have thousands of posts. I read what MSD claims the boostmaster can do. I was looking for someone who would comment on the component in question and say “yes money well...

Hello, Yes perhaps i should have posted more information on the Msd timing master. It is on this site where i first learned about it, so i made the presumption that everyone knows about it. Rusty rat rod if you dont know about it then how would you have weighed in on it anyway? Dont take it...

Man I would really like to see pinion angle covered. We all know it is important. I would like to see it covered in an other than stock set up. Where maybe the motor was set back , or a non stock motor added or different rear axle (non mopar)utilized. Dont know if a short vid could cover that.

Wow , Alot of good conversation about this! Man i sure would like to do a motor swap, but haha it would be behind so many other projects wonder if it would get done? Bet its light body with a turbo six would be a blast. Ok ill stop now.

Ok thanks, Yes was hoping to pull a few bucks out of the car after a little fix up. I too have always liked these i guess i thought i could play with it awhile then pass it on with a little profit . Ill wind up keeping it, selling would never happen. Lol

Hello, I have an oppourtunity to buy an 1984 Pontiac Fiero for 2500. Mileage is at 75 k, overall very clean and driver quality. Paint is “checked”, so would require a respray. There were only 2000 of these built. Is this a smart purchase? Any room to make some money reselling? I cannot find...

Ok then, set just 18• base timing with a timing light, after those small mods? Is it that easy? I should look at my later distributor, it may be suitable without modification. The motor itself is completely stock. About 130k miles on it, runs nice, uses no oil. Thanks for tips

Hello Rolling_Thunder, I should have mentioned it, i am using a Holley 500cfm two barrel blow thru with hanger 18 mods. Intercooler, boost reference fuel pump with return line . O2 sensor.

Hello, I am still collecting parts for my 225 turbo build. Now i am at a point of wanting to select my ignition control. I currently run a stock distributor (1972)with pertronix module. Will a 6BTSM work with the stock distributor? I have an available dizzy from a later slant, 1978 i believe or...

Yes that sucks. Try valarian root or melatonin , both natural sleep aids, non addictive. Take before bed obviously, but watch out for melatonin, it knocks you out but leaves you felling somewhat “hung over” in the morning.

I think what is scarier is that i have to get up each morning to go to work at this hour. Hahahaha

Hahahahahahahaha this got real Funny . Lmao

Thankyou for the replies. Yes larger return than supply. I will check out the local hydraulic supply.
