I will throw this out there because I see it a lot. When using 3 bar adjusters with your belts there should be only 1 bar showing when finished. Many show 2 bars. And i dont mean to flip it over. the bar that shows is the 1 away from the side the seat belt enters the adjuster. So the free end of...

Just read that thread. Closed after 3 days. Ok. Something I've found helpful when dealing with headers,except fenderwells. Pull the torsion bars! It doesnt take long and helps tremendously. At least when I've pulled em it has.

727 quit working the other day. Seems the drive lugs sheared off the oil pump gear. Looks like the lugs were spot welded on. And not a very good spot weld at that. Maybe 60% of the contact area welded. Is this the way they are? Or is this offshore stuff?

Opinions on checking for runout when using an auto. Did you find that a lot of the time dialing them in was needed. Or was it a lot of work just to find out that its fine. Thanks

Anybody running this box? Have had one for a long time. Would run fine than refuse to start. Swap a 6 in and no more problems. Did the troubleshoot thing. ( no spark) and even sent it back to the factory. They said it was fine. So I'am going to try it again. Put together a very basic harness for...
