If they could sedate you for a root canal I’d consider it but otherwise not an option for me.

anytime they said root canal I said I will have tooth out and my orthodontist prepped it for a implant when she removed. No regrets. 5 and holding.

I’ve been using Lucas hot rod 10W40 high zinc for several years. No negatives. ’68 HP383, hydraulic flat tappet Summit mild cam, anti pump up lifters, high volume oil pump, rebuilt ‘71 18 spline A833 hemi 4 spd, street car. 75 lbs at cold/start up, warms up to 60-65 cruising 45-50 mph. 50lb...

So took off the rear clamps - wound up to about 3600 and let it go. Holy crap! Nothing but a long burn and grab and go. Really go. Rear raised up and flew- no thumping or hopping or anything. No.1 I’ve been to too easy on my new clutch and this rebuilt A833. Must need this kind of love now...

my car is over 3300 lbs. gotta consider that ..

I’m just looking ant all options out they’re since this subject is new to me so thanks for your suggestions… and patience.

Do you mean you got the the 1” over stock height ones? To me looks raised front and rear but balanced

Full of lead.. at least 70 yrs old and don’t ask me how I know..

So seriously, Mr Rusty, can I expect to do ok with these. The more I look at mine the more they look like crap…I’m looking at those and thinking of calling ESPO whichever might be better way to go Thanks much

Ok guys thanks for all the input -I know this gets to be a drag with a lot of redundancy etc. - . anyway think I’m on right track.

Ok found what was referred to earlier. Looks like the ticket. Mopar Performance P3412002: Competition Leaf Spring Modified Cars & 1968 Super Stock A-Body Hemi - JEGS

So they are clamped front and rear. Not sure if these allow any sliding at all so maybe that’s an issue. 5 leafs on right and left sides.

Ok. Gotta check it out. I think we gottem on back half only maybe. Will report back. Don’t even know if they are stock or the originals or what. I’ll count leaf’s and get pics

I tried clamping leafs together. Maybe that is making her worse. Idk. Someone had suggested that but I don’t what it is intended to create.

my barracuda convertible 3:23 gears. Stock suspension with a snubber. On takeoff it really hops and bangs. Maybe snubber banging floor? Tires are new and I’m sure grab well vs. spin. I don’t know what to consider first. Any help /suggestions appreciated. Just a street car but if I’m low on RPMs...

thanks all for input -I've see the 893 and 187 and to me they look identical to 699...notch is same - am I wrong on this?. A far as shimming, wouldn't I want to do both sides same ideally? how doable would it be for a shop to take a new one and cut and weld as needed? probably ridiculous $ ....

thanks for comments - tired of worrying about this - was even thinking about way to mount a rubber bump stop somewhere..

has been hitting 699 pan for quite a while apparently on sharp right turns. The indentation/notch in the pan is too far forward to help with clearance - link hitting just behind indent/notch. Wondering if this has happened to others with a BB transplant and if a some different drag link or idler...

of course you have..

follow up FOLLOW-UP: OK, got lucky, ran it out on the interstate for a few miles and it started to drop as it should. Can't recall if the stock gauges were a little 'bouncy' back in the day but this one is as the float moves when I take a turn or come to a stop - anyway it's registering lower...

I put in a new Chrysler type Equus fuel gauge over winter (tank was filled in fall). The old gauge had been sitting a E regardless of fuel level. New gauge reads Full, but after some driving it seems to not be dropping..I see it bounce around in turns or quick stops...I'm still hoping it's...

I have trouble believing any news out of China...or Russia, N.Korea, etc..

Well I am concerned it might- consider how much the world population has increased since then and ease of international travel. We should be better at mitigating and treating though

living within your means is key IMO. avoid credit card debt totally. I was surprised what a huge difference paying off all mortgage debt made. It's a good goal to have - things get much easier/more fun after that. Avoid car loans. get to a point where any necessary new car purchases are...

can't count the number of butt crimps I used but they are at least out of sight! - pretty much left all old wiring in place - just the oil press, temp, and fuel tank senders were added or rerouted to the new gauges. Glad when I did this the first time for the 3 gauges I used a lot of bullet type...
