    Leaf spring question

    If it's for ride quality; try this; I run 295/50-15s on 10" alloy wheels at 24psi...... and my springs have an extra main leaf, so I can run them with nearly no arch. Rides barely harsher than stock, but totally acceptable, and corners nice too. Oh yeah, I installed some plastic inter-leaf...

    Differences in 318 block.

    You said "a gauge." You did not say, a dial-bore gauge. So then, respectfully, I suggest you take it to a machine shop for a second opinion.

    Differences in 318 block.

    3.931, less 3.910 =.021, which is a chitload of wear on a "std" bore. Was this measured with a dial-bore gauge? If yes, then, more likely is that the engine is already overbored. But if no, not by dial-bore gauge, then, no comment. so to answer your question, as to .020; it would kindof...

    .040 over in 318

    Actually you could theoretically use the same TC, just with a weighted flex-plate or weight welded on to the 318 one, in the correct place and amount. As to the retro-fit roller lifters, if they dropped into a 318LA, they should drop into a 360LA just as well. but not onto the flat-tappet cam...

    .040 over in 318

    If I understand you correctly , then yes. A loss of 2cc in the head will equal a gain of 2cc on the bore. But an overbore is a GAIN of cc in Swept volume, making it a Net gain to the Compression Ratio. Here's what I mean; at 3.91 bore, the swept is 652.26 cc. and for an 8/1 engine, the TOTAL...

    Stroke a 318

    It seems to me that any rag-bits that made it thru the pick-up screen, should all be in the oil filter.

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    That housing is broken in a manner that seems to indicate that something hit the impeller and it got blasted out front. AS in Oh that's where that bolt went! It would be nice to see the broken out part at least, ce-la-vie I guess.

    How in HECK to you figure HP on a B&S engine?

    Yeah well; (Torque x RPM)/5250 still equals hp, so I never saw the problem; just crank up the stinking governor, I mean; 8.75 ftpounds, at 3000 is 5hp, at 3300 is 5.5hp, at 3600 is 6hp and if that don't do it, install a bigger carb and/or a decent big-can muffler with a clean spark arrestor...

    Facebook Issues with screen scrolling, anyone have a solution?

    Yeah mine is constantly hunting. It seems a lil better if I hit F11 and maximize the screen. I have to semi-constantly scroll back and forth Firefox is my default browser.

    Verify first.....

    That was probably me. It was a Chrysler K-car and the driver was a giant; both in height and in girth. We put the heaviest duty Struts on that car that we could find with monster springs. And I bagged everything we had into that poor front seat, and a 5gallon pail of leadweights on the floor...

    Verify first.....

    If I told you I did 29 alignments on my car to get it straight, what would you think? I was an alignment tech, and had free use of the shop afterhours and weekends. >If you weigh 360, or 260, or 160; I'll give you the same answer; ballast it. and if you are a streeter, set the caster the same...

    Any Pontiac guys on here? Need insight.

    I've heard many an HEI that would whine. Seems like there are a couple of length rotors and when it's too long it rubs on the towers. at low rpm it it's more like a buzzing, turning into a whine with rpm. It goes away after a while......... after it clearances itself.

    would i be an *** ?

    I keep a tighter rein on my tongue since that day, but the fact is that it went to a good Christian cause. I missed the cash for a little while, but got over it. I never think of it anymore, unlike the people it went to, whom I do think about every now and then.

    would i be an *** ?

    IMO I would say, due to the rapidly rising costs of food/water/and shelter, never mind medicines; Take the money/yur gonna need it real soon. Our resident evil leader and his evil cohorts, are gonna do their best to see us all die in the upcoming months. Move to Medicine Hat, cuz I think they...

    Damn disease

    I learned to drive in Mum's '61 Strato-Chief with a 3speed column-shifted six. IIRC that also was a 261. What I remember most about that car, besides all the room inside there for 5 kiddies plus Mum on two benches, was how stinking fast it could go ......... in reverse! Yeah I was practicing...

    should I buy

    Your son is gonna graduate in about two years. He could be married and a father, in three or four. As soon as he gets serious about girls, which could be any second now, his Mum will be on the back burner; that's just the way it goes. Depending on your family status, your Mother/Son project...

    Weird dreams.....let's see some of yours!

    I have learned that some, to many, perhaps most, of my dreams do not originate in my own mind. I have not watched TV in over a decade. I do occasionally watch an old western on my lap top. I rarely remember my dreams. But when I do, they are sometimes of a sexual and/or perverse nature. A nature...

    A couple of my outboards may be in deep sh....................water

    Outboards are set up pretty loose to start with. I've built quite a few of those, and was always impressed with how sloppy loose they were, on the bench, yet how quiet they ran. I have no idea how yur gonna successfully run that snot in a piston-port design. Best of luck to ya.

    Parts ID/Does Anyone Need These?

    common as dirt by the early to mid-seventies on performance Mopars. Those "fins" aid in keeping the drums cool and round, and not bell-mouthed.
