    Is Bradenton Fl. going to get closed down by subdivision?

    Being a hundred miles from Englishtown never heard the part of the kids not wanting to continue the race part of it. But every time I went there a new development was under way. I know the traffic getting in and out was a night mare with a single lane on Texas Rd.. The residents there must have...

    Is the spool mount k-member worth modifying/reinforcing and what should I change on the suspension brakes?

    So as you see nothing is cut and dry changing somethings on our old cars. Change one thing and it opens a can of worms. I went from drums to 11 3/4 discs on a 71 Cuda, but it had 15" wheels already so no problem.

    Is Bradenton Fl. going to get closed down by subdivision?

    That's what happened to Englishtown raceway. I first started going there in the mid 80's and it was in the boon docks. I believe in the 90's they started building around there like crazy. The land then becomes too valuable, and the racing stops and they rent the land to store cars. They still...

    Difficult cold start

    If when cold you get the shot of gas in the carb, Make sure you have 12 volts in the crank position on the coil. it'll be less in the run position. You could run a 12volt jumper from battery to positive side of coil to see if that is the problem. If starts right up trouble shoot wiring problem...

    Aftermarket Oil pan with Automatic transmission heads up.

    Can you tell us name of the oil pan in case someone may have the problem you encountered. I bought a Kevko pan, haven't installed it yet, but hope it's not theirs. By the way their packaging sucks because mine would up with a dent on the bottom. They don't insulate the pan from the outside box.

    Carb recommendations for my 340

    QJ's started in 85 through 89. Then TBI came into existence on the 360 after the QJ.

    Small Blocks

    I believe the Lil Red Truck engine was the E58.

    Small Blocks

    Thank the Govt. from preventing the E55 in anything but a truck. Cars were limited because of emissions. Trucks at that time had no limitation on emissions because they were work vehicles.

    Small Blocks

    A 5 bolt head would also be a nice addition to all of the above.

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    Could it be Summit was getting complaints on the valve body and returns, now they send it to Broader and that's when the s---t hit the fan. Now, Broader realizes what has happened and knowing he doesn't sell to Summit opened the can of worms . Summit may not have realized what Speedmaster was...

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    I feel bad for the honest guy trying to make a living selling a great product that works and gets ripped off by a copy that doesn't work. Now his Co. gets the bad rap. Glad to see Summit do the right thing.

    Rock Auto discount code

    I just ordered a belt for my PS and it is coming from Texas, so almost a week away. Ordered on 4/13 and due 4/18 or the 19th. Their not sure when it'll get here. I might not have ordered it if I knew it was a week away coming from TX. The other bad part was no local parts store had it.

    They sent me the code and I didn't realize I've been a 15 year customer.

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Because he wired to the wiper resistor, turn on wipers when cranking and maybe it'll fire. There's so much to learn when dealing with cars, especially when torn apart and rewired, but you did the right thing by asking and showing us what you are doing.

    thermostat water neck question

    As long as it isn't a thin cast housing and manifold is clean you'll be good to go. All those cheap chrome housings warped and were the problem of sealing and even the stock Mopar housings were warping.

    Alternator not charging

    I had a 75 Plymouth with the 100 amp alternator and at 120,000 miles had to replace the brushes for $1.00 around 1985. They were rugged alternators.

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Chrysler had a problem with the 2.2 head gaskets when they first came out in the early 80's because they were using 10mm head bolts. They then switched to 11mm bolts to solve the problem. My 83 was warranted to 50,000 miles and gasket went out at 49,000 so fortunately covered under warranty. I...

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Has anybody said why there is such a problem with the bolts failing. I have an 05 Ram with 5.7 and no manifold exhaust leak, also have 102,000 miles on it. With all the problems with these new trucks, only lease them, and since it's just a matter of time that they will breakdown, dump them back...

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Have these people just started building cars? The recalls are ridiculous, my 05 Ram had a recall on the rear pinion nut because they didn't put locktite on the nut. Then they had timing chain issues, exhaust manifold bolts breaking and of course the Hemi's with the no lubrication to the roller...

    Looking for some guidance.

    340's never had a front distributor, always in the rear. Using the oil pump tool to drive the pump engine has to rotate to open up the galleries on the camshaft bearings that distribute oil to rocker arms.

    This is probably pretty minor, but have you ever seen one of these?

    I ordered a 72 Gold Duster and never saw one in my car. Maybe Dealer kept them and sold them to make more money.

    It’s about time.

    They look better than the more common plate locking cable in. Where are they sold and do you really have to solder cable in, because with the taper on the male part it looks like it will hold the cable. Soldering the cable in would probably wind-up having solder on the threads of the male portion.

    Electrical Help Please

    Do you have a voltmeter in the car? If not put a voltmeter on battery with car running to check output of alternator should be at least 13 volts or more when at fast idle, about 1000 RPM. If you don't have a voltmeter, get one to do any electrical troubleshooting. Harbor Freight has one for...

    Finally got all the parts together- I think?

    You won't know what you missed till you start putting it together. I put Gen2 Hemi in 71 Cuda, had K frame, motor mounts and everything else I thought I needed. I had a 440 in car so thought I was good to go. Starter cable didn't work, throttle bracket didn't work and a few other hemi oddities...
