    Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

    It's not just 'hot rod shops' and it (goobered work) isn't new, either. One of my engines, a local NHRA-holding machine shop that did the machine work ordered a set of custom pistons. Come assembly time and checking clearances, the head was pushed 1/2" off the deck with one of those 'custom'...

    in too deep: trying to go BBP on a 68 barracuda and its going.. poorly.

    First off, welcome to mopars. Welcome to FABO. I cringed when I read your post. It's been over 40 years, well before the www....but I've been there; all of the drilling, axle, spacer, wheel choice fit/fun, differential buttons, etc etc. I could write my story, but it isn't pertinent and you...

    About U-joints...

    Threads that start with questions and end with no answers bother me, so while it's not really an answer, this is the end of this issue. I noticed later my u-joint cups moved inside the slip yoke ears. There was no slop that I could feel or measure (using calipers..not a micrometer). I...

    Driveline polarity

    That is pretty goofy, 'eh? It's not normally that high. I might have just put some air in the shocks and not properly adjusted it...not sure. I took that pic only 'cuz the car was clean and shiny. That IS what counts of course. :)

    Driveline polarity

    I don't like bothering people working at making a living and it's never fun advertising ignorance....but I asked Misters Brewer the question. They were kind enough to respond, saying: He didn't say why. I have no clue how that fits with what AJ has found to be true. Maybe they are...

    Driveline polarity

    Oh my! My driveline has been backwards for only a few decades??!! I could guess that I asked the local Driveline Service folks this question years ago and put my driveline together according to what they said..but a guess is all it is. Thanks for the input! 67D: I had a '66 273...

    Driveline polarity

    I've had this car for only 40 years...why should I know this?#-o It's embarrassing........ While waiting for my new slip yoke from Brewer and company (Good People!) it occurred to me that I don't know if my driveline is correct to start with. I put it together so long ago, I don't know the...

    About U-joints...

    Yep. The joint cups do have inside snap rings...but the snap rings are of no consequence. The cups do not move. It is the cross that moves between the cups. The snap rings fit as they should in the cup grooves. In order to move the cups closer together, the snap rings would have to have...

    About U-joints...

    On the rear-end end of my driveline I noticed the U-joint moves 'some' between the cups. 'Some' as measured by my dial-indicator is .008", on axis. Does that indicate a problem? I haven't noticed it before. Does not seem reasonable that a new joint would be necessarily any different as...
