The usual suspects have promoted their usual BS. Torque is what moves cars. The Bosch 9Th Edition Automotive Handbook is 1540 pages of fine print. It lists 6 pages of contributing authors, engineers & scientists. On p. 39, the definition of power is a simple one liner: ' Power is the work...

For a mild engine like this, having the shafts upside down will have no long term problem. It just means on initial start up, the oil now has to fill the shafts to the top so that the oil can exit the shaft holes. This will happen veeeeery quickly as without the holes being at the bottom of the...

I saw two car haulers yesterday with the new super ugly electric trucks. How do you get the doors to open? They don't look like they can haul much. The design looks like a child designed it.

...270 Mega cam. I have used a lot of the Mega cams. The tight 108 LSA is going to give you more HP. 221 @ 050 might not sound that big, but it has 12* more overlap than the same grind on 114*. Single pattern, lift will be 0.496" with 1.6 rockers. Remember, easy to go too big. Have factory...

Our daughter's flight was about 40 minutes late last night. By the time she got through immigration and got her luggage, it was 10:30 p.m. Vietnam time. But that doesn't stop these people. We had to stop someplace and Nhau. That means eating and drinking. Found an outside restaurant that was...

Does any camshaft company offer a exact reproduction 340 cam? I've found a few that the advertised duration is correct but the duration at 0.050 is more, the lift is never correct either. The 340's were discontinued 51 years ago and I don't know if the patent rights are still in effect.

Good find!

...literally. Have you checked for leaking needle & seats? Correct float level? Those are basics to carb set up. Tuning starts after the correct idle ign timing has been determined & set. If someone advised you to use 10* initial timing, then never take their advice again because they have no clue.

That's right at .500 with a 1:6 rocker. And then there is the wait. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Appreciate it! Definitely interested

That's another goodun, specially for headers.

Ill trade your 6 mpg for my 3mpg! Look every time you hit that throttle you get maybe a fifth of gas mileage you will at cruze, that loud pedal comes with a price.

Ball joint stripped the treads once... see welds, ball joint to A- arm. Not a bad thing, but last use of that A arm probably...

I like this cam for that combinbation. 108 LSA & 104 ICL DODGE Howards Cams 710991-08 Howards Cams Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts | Summit Racing

I need a set of interior door handle cups (trim) for a 75 Dart Sport. Any colors will work. Thank you

I'm still running the same pair of DynoMax UltraFlo's on my Duster as I was in 2018 when I originally commented on this post. No issues at all, well over 30k miles on them now.

I think I know the answer but I gotta ask. Did you check to see if the lifters are the AMC type? The kind of lifter that would oil through the pushrod?

...got a 2 belt set up on alternator, compressor, crank. Had to space the water pump pulley, power steering pump out too on the third belt (%#&!** Classic Air "Perfect Fit Kit"). All seems it will work fine now. Coming back in July for Carlisle and my 50th High School Reunion in Maryland...

Have a Happy May Day

Got it. So what did Brewers say that would fix the issue? I can understand being frustrated but I haven't had to deal with any issues and still see the OD gearset as an option. Yeah .80 isn't a great OD ratio but I am still willing to possibly keep it open as an alternative to modifying the...

Does the motor sound faintly (there's the headers) like a sewing machine??? Yes, get the oiling holes in the right place!

doing the math - $44,000 on $700,000 is 6.3%!!!! I think somebody got their math wrong! 1.5% on $700,000 is $10,500...

Yes I’ve seen your car, you did an awesome restomod

I bought my first car in May 1968. I was a senior in High School. I saved up for it from working in a grocery store for 2 years. I paid $600 for a 64 Plymouth Savoy 2 door post. It was an Ex Highway patrol car with 383, Automatic, PS, PB and AC. No pictures. This started and fueled my Mopar passion.

So I'll chime in on carb choice. The carb you have has mechanical secondaries. When you floor it the secondaries are wide open no matter what, plus a double shot from the accelerator pumps (they did that to cover the massive sudden vacuum drop in the carb). You could use a Holley with vacuum...

You want the oiling holes facing down towards the springs. Notch or no notch. Not having them the right way will wear the rocker,shafts, stems more than necessary. Remember... of they were to point straight down.. yoy could put them on anyway ya wanted. They point down towards the springs.

Here in the lower mainland, $700k will buy you a 525sq ft condo. Annual property taxes of $2k. Monthly maintenance fee of $350. Property transfer tax on that $700k is 2%. That 2% goes to $2M at which point it’s 3% over $2M. You want a house? Double that and it will get you an 80 year, 2k sq...

Not a good sign for ev's when Tesla is axing its charging crew: Tesla axes most of Supercharger team in blow to other automakers

Yup. Backwards. Notch on the passenger side down and to the rear, notch on the driver side down and to the front. The important thing is to make sure the small oiling holes point down and toward the valve springs, because sometimes, the shafts don't have notches or anything. It's all covered in...
