I am satisfied with the Helwig hollow front bar, but still a fishy situation, So I bought the Firm feel Abody rear bar that is frame mounted and exactly like the 1974 factory. The # is SBRA 3/4" $415 with shipping. check it out.

Real ball busters to play with chain, cam etc. It was designed to heat up fast for 60's smog reduction. I have wasted too much extra time draining water and flushing out oil pan after accessory work. It runs fine, but a 383 would be better for the long run. I have a 440 in an E Body, so I know...

The real reason it is a POS is the water pump bolt holes are drilled through, water gets in oil pan easily and the head needs studs, on ends for exhaust. The distributor is back on the wiper motor. The fuel pump holes need special insert in bolt threads so oil won't leak and copper silicone for...

It puckered like a coffin. The non-perforated is not flexible or stretchy. I'll have to trim more at the cloth listing. 3" is not enough to get it to pull down, maybe 4-5". I'll try when it's 90* outside

Photos to prove ownership?

Today the engine runs fine. I had to put back the stock rockers, since advancing the cam 4* using the Mopar offset key, still put the valves in jeopardy. I bent a few hollow push rods, scared myself, changed one lifter on the worst of bent rods, twice on that valve. The cam advance on the Cloyes...

Your right, what I found out is that the outer edge is tucked under the stainless trim. The rear arm rest has the rear edge of the liner trim caught in a channel, so it is necessary to pry with a plastic tool the trim inward from the top edge. Starting at the back since it was looser. Paint...

I just came up for air, (fish humor). Thanks, I'm glad to see the clips. And after doing all you said, I pry down at the rear of the trim since they also seem glued on, with some wood paint stick, to see? Maybe hairdryer heat to ease the factory adhesive. I will take some pictures along...

I'm installing a headliner. There is one screw towards the front on the metal trim piece, it seems clipped on. This is what covers the headliner. I'm thinking if I remove the inside rear side trim, under the window crank the the trim piece will slide back, like the outside under door trim...

Summit has a roof insulation for $20 to fit a 60-70 Hard top ford, the blackened fiberglass is pattern pressed on one side for glue, it's two pieces 1"x 18.5" x 48". I don't have to remove the back window, the teeth are available with a smooth plastic tool. Who said to do that? ( a...

I have RMS front strut rods, and I noticed a sight pulling to the left, when on the gas. It reminded me of when I over tightened the stock ones, it would wander side to side at 20 mph. On the hyway at 70 mph it sort of bump pulls to the left. So I inspected the adjustment, and was easily able to...

Thanks for the help. It makes sense the tapered tip goes in first. I was over thinking the way it works. I see in 1968 manual the pointed bushing on a Valiant. I don't see how the originals did much, they were like hollow looking grease seals. If I wanted to soften the ride with RMS hime...

So, I get that the bushing can be pressed into the K-m. By hand using big cup washer and all thread rod, something to thread through to pull it in? Or can it be pushed in by hand?

Which way, in the picture does the bushing go? #1 top rod or #2 bottom rod. I threw in the original rubber ones, they did not have a center steel bushing as in service manual. Please add any installation procedure that you use. thanks

Fine, I'll field the non-sense. "These three choices allow you to set cam timing at normal, 4 degrees advanced, or 4 degrees retarded". Just say-in : The crank ain't going anywhere, the cam is what is adjusted here. Read please: http://www.manciniracing.com/cocahirorati2.html

8 degree cam advance from the crank on a Cloyes True roller? You other guys can sort this last statement out.

I used the 4* cam key and the 4* CAM advance position with the Cloyes chain. I would like to say it was a ***** to mount the cam gear with the MP chain tensioner in the way. The trick is to use the bolt and washer to steady the thing while you find the keyway. I used the crank nut tool to move...

I have the wheel and stop to check the out come before I close, Thanks for the fast reply, now back to the garage!

I asked this before, but I didn't have the timing chain removed until today. I have a Purple shaft cam .484 lift with 108 overlap and I want to use the the 4* key and the 4* gear set for a total of 8*. This is a 1972 factory rebuilt 340 @ +.060 pistons with the deep valve cut forged pistons. The...

My 360 head has a shallow milling gouge that needs a smear of the Copper RTV. Look for any surface imperfections.

When I replaced the torque converter. The steering column had to be disconnected, and moved over with the wheel lowered onto the seat. Then the starter can be pulled up. The old style 1977 Doug's $65 headers won't work with a mini starter. I had to buy new LA 340 Flowtech 1 5/8" @ $120 3...

Triclorethane came out as "dry to dry", cleaning machine solvent. It replaced Perchlorethene in clothes dry-cleaning plants. We used to have to pull the perc. soaked clothes after a spin dry and put them into the clothes dryer by hand, holding breath until it was done. My Dad got bladder cancer...

This part at the bottom, @ $329 is probably all you want to spend on that 318 Dart. It will run like hell, and all you need is the 7/16" bolt hole Flex plate and ARP bolts...

You betcha! I'm getting out some shade tree mechanical tech to the general public. Who really cares about some f'ed up, used gear; we only want to deposit in bank of mechanical knowledge. One may not have access to 280 ft/lb, air tool, or the solid spacer, in time to get to the track.

I swapped 4.30's in a 489 carrier and when I tried to crush a new sleeve it would not move. I used a 1/2" breaker bar and a pipe extension with no success. I went to the shop in Kenwood, CA and talked to Joe a former Chrysler dealer master mechanic. He said take a big hammer, large pipe stub...

I finally got the $65 back by using Citibanks dispute feature. They called back, and we explained the weasel's try to gip us, due to the same amount charged twice for the 2 pairs. They got PayPal to refund our return. I can't stress enough, the nasty nature of Christopher Young...

Let explain what the heavy spring with the slot is for. It is stated by Chrysler in the past to describe the H.P. dist. that the heavy spring is to compensate for the cam lag, from torsional twisting. It adds degree's at high RPM's that aren't noticed at the timing mark, and eliminating...

I just want to make sure no one buys anything from Speedmaster.com The guy is a liar and won't admit that a 3 pound box that got there with 4 meter blocks, two receipts and we only got refunded for a single pair. The pair only weighs 1.5 lbs we sent back 3 lbs and have the USPS tracking...

If in by 2000 it will over heat, eventually in traffic. I went with 2600 since it will be all in at hiway speed. Use a kitchen scale to check the strength of the springs. Stretch them 1" and record the oz.'s Then you can compare them to a H.P. Mopar stock type spring that comes in the "P"#...
