http://globalnews.ca/news/2008740/watch-muscle-car-driver-loses-back-axle-on-alberta-road/ Anyone from here? Felt it was apropos to the thread.

I worked for a company sand blasting and painting water towers, many years ago. After seeing the insides of water towers in many many different cities I will say this, I won't drink city water. I use a home filtration system. I agree SweatyBetty, I am pro choice. So don't take this as a knock...

edit http://www.xs11.com/tips/maintenance/maint1.shtml This is a link to a page "Brake Fluid Facts by Steve Wall" written by a former materials engineering supervisor at a major automotive brake system supplier. And no offense MtNemoMopar, but you are misinformed about brake fluid...

340mopar Maybe the term bind was to "strong" a word, I should have been more detailed and said "As you adjust the operating angle of the u-joint (by lifting the vehicle, shimming the rear axle, etc) you are also changing the elliptical path that the u-joint must travel in. The greater the...

An engineer, yet you do not grasp geometry or dynamic vs. static. How odd. How often do you go over "huge wallows" that cause your suspension to go into full droop (the position it is in when you have the suspension just hanging up on a hoist) for any length of time? You must be Evel Knievel...

Are you sure it's 3.21 (and are you certain it's an 8 3/4?, 8 1/4's had a 3.21 ratio) if it is an 8 3/4 look at the tag again, maybe it says 3.31. There was a ratio of 3.31, as refrenced on these 2 different web sites. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Flats/1549/index3.html...

With the suspension hanging you may well have been binding the rear u-joint causing the housing to want to "wrap" back and forth. If your going to operate the drivetrain while lifted, lift via the rear end so the car is sitting on it's suspension. Then eyeball it while running from behind and...

The fact it dosn't overheat in town or idling eliminates fan and shroud issue. The fan and shroud are for low speed cooling only and serve no purpose at highway speeds where airflow thru the radiator is rammed thru by the very motion of the vehicle thru the air. Heat buildup due to low...

I've noticed slower page loadings and downright comes to a standstill occasionaly also. It is not my pc or connection, I have checked. What ads? I don't see ads, when I view this site. :grin:

You said this shop rebuilt your trans. Are you certain you got back the original trans (if they do alot of trans it is possible they gave you a rebuilt but not neccesarily the one you brought them, it is possible) / OR is this a transmission you sourced from else where {salvage yard, other car...

Read this thread. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=13941&highlight=body+rear

If you have a saws-all and some steel cutting blades and a welder, available to you, I would go to the nearest local steel supplier and pick up a couple of pieces of 2"x3" .125 wall thickness box tube and a couple pieces of 2" wide by 6" long plate 1/8" or 3/16" thick, and build your own. You'll...

Install an 8' privacy fence (the kind that dosnt allow someone to climb the outside to look in like the ones on this site http://www.hooverfence.com/wood/spruce-stockade.htm) all the way around your property and car covers help too. Out of site, out of mind.

If your car is not a corner burning slalom racer or all out drifter I would stick with an all rubber front end kit. The polys are hard and make for a lot of noise from both the inevitable squeeks (even the graphites will squeek a little) and from road noise transfered thru the suspension...

The ring gear bolts.

Heddman makes headers that will fit, actually fairly well. They also offer 2 different headers one with a 2 1/2" collector for slightly more ground clearance and a regular 3" collector style. Both fit A bodies 67-76. The "tight tube set" shouldn't require any mods to the shift linkage where as...

Back when our cars were made (ours meaning ALL of the A bodies owned by everyone here) they didnt put as much effort into protecting the body/chasis from corsion thru fully coating the ENTIRE body with all the chemical treatments and acid baths, etc. that they do to todays vehicles. Exposed bare...

The rust converters are all fairly decent products when the instructions are followed. In response to your comments about stripping a given part down to bare steel and the fact that it shows rust again within a few days. I strongly suggest (based on expierence with stripping and coating all...

In response to ramcharger: I am in no way affiliated with and have never met the driver/owner or anyone involved with the vehicle in this accident. I am NOT a believer in God or most any religion for that matter. The context of what I said and when and where I say it is just fine. Who...

The center adjusting sleeves are the same length, 8". I have measurd them myself and seen them side by side. 1973 Plymouth Gran Fury (considered to be a C body) and 1971 Dodge Dart (A body) side by side. The difference was in the diameter of the threaded part of the tie rod and the diameter of...

I know that the early 70's (71-74) Satelittes, GTX's and Road Runners all had the filler behind the license plate. Always seemed to slosh fuel out of the filler when accelerating with a half full to full tank. I suppose a well sealed cap might prevent it, but i know from talking to many who have...

The point of stating that if they charge one they should charge all was that it could have happened to anyone of the so called "dangerous" auto's at the event, and based upon the logic layed out by others posts in this thread, then NONE of them should have participated in this burnout...

I would weld the holes shut on my fenders before I would ever give anyone that kinda money for a little piece of pot metal with a lite bulb in it. LMAO. Still looking for those pieces Suregrip. As I said, if I find them, yours for postage.

I stand corected, I based my statement on the fact that the paint jobs were similar. My mistake. All of you can rant and rave your opinions, but they mean nothing. You were not there. You do not know what he was thinking or what actually happened. If they are to attempt to charge Troy with...

I do not know which companies bushings you are using, but if they are like the PST ones I had, they send new main bolts also, problem I ran into was the metal sleeve from the original factory bushings did not fit in the poly bushing, and the new bolt left a gap that had to be filled. I used...

The car IS a ProMod "Drag Car". A Cuda, weighing 2,735 (pounds) capable of 6.094-seconds pass's at 237+ mph, if you really want to add stigma to it. Definatly not dirt track cars. http://www.moparmax.com/features/featurecar/i_1-chritchley-3.html I would assume it is Troy himself who...

It wasn't a "wild" boar. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18989526/?GT1=10056 The human species does more harm to this planet than a million "wild" hogs do, and animals wont lie, cheat, and murder their own kind for material things, money, or just because. Unlike the "human" animal.

A customer standing around waiting to be checked out is a customer who may "remember something else" they needed, thus causing them to purchase more. Same reason some traffic lights are designed to change even though there are no vehicles coming from the cross traffic, because some business...
