No reason No reason to be sorry. Thats a cool setup you have there! If anything I feel envy!

I will run a torqueflite sometimes. Its fun to drive. Your setup looks rather exotic. Interesting. Fill me in? Thanks!

I will buy that,thanks!

Flywheel bolts are longer. Spacer requires longer bolts.

Are those the flexplate bolts or the flywheel bolts?

Turbo 400?

Mount em tight to each other.

What you all doing for fore and aft support? Those motor plates will flex.

Perhaps his doppelganger!

Here you go. Small block chevy tunnel ram, two adapter plates. Thats about it. This was done quite often in the 70s. Do some measuring and you will find them close. And if you cant find a small block chevy manifold, well,,,,,,,,

I have a few, 66-67 and one other, motors books and a 69 chrysler factory service book. A number of chiltons and some haynes. Some chiltons and haynes are the exact same book. For me the chiltons seemed to vanish. Out of business I thought. And a haynes i had i did not care for. Then I spotted...

Why not weld some nice beads on those undersize counterweights and save most of that mallory money?

I got a couple of clutchflites for my dart. Lakewood scattershields. With all the bolts of course. And behind that, the bulk of a 727 gearbox. And they dont separate because they bolt together from inside the scattershield. Installing the trans, lining up the input shaft and clearing the pump...

I got to disagree here. I remember when every track had a watering hole. Guys could dump their water and refill with cold water. They would run small radiators for less weight and deal with the hassle of changing the water. Cars were set up to dump the water fast. Dont see this no more. Your...

This is a big no-no at the strip. Antifreeze is difficult to clean up. Water isn't. Surprised nobody has mentioned this.

Yes, I checked it out and grim reaper is right! Always learning something on this site.

But the bearing does not ride on the input shaft. It rides on the sleeve over the shaft. The sleeve is part of the front bearing retainer and is the same od regardless.

Read this and what came to my mind? Kurt Russel and his little black book in the bar scene of that cool movie Deathproof!

Well now thats not ignorance, thats laziness! (Thats- that's- that is). Single finger pecker here.

Dont forget that we learned how to use paragraphs properly in our compositions. And the importance of punctuation too! (Couldnt help myself.)

Oh,thats a *****. Thats something that your spending any money on your car! Hope that crap ends now! Good luck to you!

I didnt say I was right, said maybe I was just lucky. I did a little research at ARPs websight faq page and well they say reuse is quite acceptable providing they havent been abused. For me its economics. Thats why I like copper head gaskets. Anneal and reuse. Of course only so many times.

Hmmm. I have reused head bolts. ARPs. No problem. Never lost a head gasket. Some retorque head bolts after running a motor a bit. I dont but... . I have used torque to yield bolts. Torque to x ft lbs and tighten x degrees more. High dollar wrench. I will check into this. Maybe i just been lucky...

Wow, this hurt. $3.30 a gallon in so cal. I try not to look at prices. What can I do? If gas sales dropped I dont think prices would drop. Might even go up. Cause the governments,state and fed, need the money. Must meet their projections for income from gas sales. Cause they have spent that...

I dont think its timing. I think its a no spark condition. Timing off it would kick back or back fire. It would show signs of a spark. Spinning over the same all the time with a random start up is a very weak or no spark deal. Check for spark in both run and start positions. Will it start with a...

Hey, keep it down! I wouldnt want my 40 something year old sears timing light to hear that....might not like it. Yeah, back when "digit" was a reference to a finger or something.....

25 or more years ago I wanted to put a bottom outlet on the gas tank of my 64 plymouth. Drilled a hole, screwed in a brass fitting just a thread or so and j-b it. Still there and nice and dry.

I ran a clutchflite in my 32 bantam altered nostalgia car. Injected hemi on alky, 100" wheelbase. Thats 254 centimeters to everybody else. 30 lb. flywheel added to the fun. Still have 2 of them transmissions sitting in a corner.

How much weight you got on the front axle, if any?

Part 2 of this thread. What can be used to loosen the grey stuff up? You know, spray and wait instead of chisels and crowbars on our prized automotive equipment.
