I definitely think those are all pretty nice, and if I had the kind of job where my tools made me money I'd probably be somewhere in that world. My 6 drawer Husky I found on the curb (with keys!) is doing just fine at work. A good portion of my tools are too big to fit in any kind of box I'd...

About how much did you end up taking off?

So if I remember correctly, it was nearpar who had this issue with a 70's cover and the pro products 80012 balancer, but that thread went off the rails quickly

Yes it is!

Ah ok, there's something. My timing tab is on the driver's side! I thought it was earlier that they changed sides.

I saw a few threads on this from awhile ago, but it didn't seem that a solution ever got posted. I have a 96 5.9 that I am using the timing cover off of a 68 318. ( Going into a 71 dart) As far as I know both cranks and everything else on both motors was standard, nothing special on either. I...

Best case would be to drill the heads for my 2176, but still considering options. I don't even have the motor yet.

Ha, there it is JEGS 513072: Cool Gap Intake Manifold for 1967-2003 Small Block Chrysler/Mopar 318, 340 & 360 - JEGS High Performance

Anyone have any experience with it? Looks pretty much like a crosswind. I have a 5.9 with LA timing cover in the works, so this looks like another option, unless someone says it's total junk.

The fluid looked perfectly red and smelled fresh. The rear band was a little bit loose but adjusted easily. There wasn't a magnet in there, maybe one of those little rare earth magnets would be good to stick on the outside? I got a lubelocker gasket so I could drop the pan if I need. It was just...

Just did a filter and gasket change, there was a coating of material in the pan and a little clump right under the filter, is this acceptable? 1971, swinger 318. Unknown service history, shows ~60k miles.

For LEDs the Sylvania Zevo is pretty good and lights the whole lens, even with a really dull reflector. Made a huge difference in the daylight.

Went out apple picking (was a bust) out east took a few 'country' roads at a good clip and definitely got that old car feel, this was with my girl and two kids. Hit a few winds and definitely felt a bit less effortless. At highway speeds if I hit a bump, it just feels like a bump. It's the low...

72blunblu, the solid tie rods were already on the list before I considered anything else...I hate the sleeves. IveI pretty much decided against the tube lowers, might still go for the uppers for the caster correction and ease of install. Then I can spend all my effort and patience for the...

The ones I was looking at were non adjustable, that would be a waste for what I'm doing. Definitely not against getting a press, would be useful for our garage 'collective' (me and a few friends rent 3 garages in a row in Queens..mostly bike work). That and all the tools to do it would be a few...

All of this is where my mind is leading me. If the parts go in easily, I could be done with it with a minimum of down time and not having to get a press...play with getting the old bushings out.. Kinda seems like a one and done thing tjatllt still be in good shape in a few years. Otherwise, if...

Alignment adjustment is a factor, these are qa. Funny thing is, I never felt like my car really handled all that bad, but again I'm mostly cruising. Just now it sounds like an old cargo van on side streets. Our beautiful NYC roads at work killing the suspension.

My 71 dart is starting to get a bit rattly in the front, I can see the strut rod bushings are toast so I'm imagining everything ought to be gone through. I saw mancini has a bit of a deal on parts and I got a bit of a bonus from work so I'm in a good spot to get this done. Obviously, all new...

Those look damn good! Anyone ever done body color Rally's?

Ha well now the oil light is just on, but my pressure is fine, guess maybe the sender was going out? Coincidentally I was replacing bulbs in the dash, is there something to knock loose back there? If that were the case would it come on or remain off?

New valve cover gaskets are on the list since theyre getting weepy and illI definitely poke around and take a good look, though looking in the fill hole it doesn't look sludgy at all. As for vac advance yeah idI do that but I get no vacuum signal at any throttle position out of the Chinese...

Well now you know why im asking! After it settled out I added about a pint and it still kept at the full line, so I'm gonna keep close eye on it. I do like the idea of adding baffles one day, but by then there could be a 360 under the hood. Meanwhile I'm going to look into much less...

Yeah oil froth is a big concern with bikes, that was my original reason for asking. Just trying to find out where full actually is, seems like it should be a box instead of a line on the dipstick, you got 'full', 'full full', and 'yup, that's full' I really don't hoon around, I baby the hell out...

Yeah that's with the filter, basically a fraction less than a gallon out, and a gallon in, including priming the filter going in. And then about a half bottle of stp. As of now, itsi dead on the full line, but I'm pretty sure it'll take a bit more before it moves beyond that. Figure I'll see...

Ha, those are the stories I look on here for when I don't need tech. Well as luck would have it, It was time to change the oil anyway and I had time to do it today. So drove to work to get it warm and let it drain about a half hour, looks like I got 3-1/2 qts out, but I could see there being .5...

Thanks for the reply, I guess they didn't expect grandma to be getting tail happy on the way to the Piggly wiggly when they put in these pans. Normally i just cruise, I don't think this motor has seen over 3k revs since I've owned it. Those baffles look good darter, if and when, I might consider...

Thanks, yeah I do have a mechanical gauge but it dipped and came back up so quickly I didn't see where it bottomed out. Ha, I normally drive like a granny, just this one time I had the room to get it loose....figures

I had a little fun in the parking lot at work and had my oil light flicker during a hard turn so obviously I'm getting a little air in there, had it happen during hard braking before I fixed my filter adapter leak but my oil level is good (according to the dipstick). Would it be advisable to add...

I've seen a few interesting objects come through my shop, most recent was a cleat from a utility pole. The damndest thing I've seen though was a pork rib!
