    4 speed transmission id abody?

    It's an a-body trans, if it has a flange for the driveshaft it's older with a 3:09 first gear. There is a large and smaller diameter output shaft for slide yoke. After 50 yrs, there's no guarantee which gears are inside, you need to take the side-cover off and ID the gears from pix at this site...

    Disappointed,

    I guess my experience has taught me that if I build a car/engine with a cooling system that can't keep the coolant at/near thermostat temp, gets hotter in traffic, at lights etc. can't climb a long incline, isn't capable of towing a trailer, - and if left that way the temp WILL climb till it...

    Disappointed,

    I pull my hair out when someone says I run a 180* thermostat, it stays around 200 cept in traffic, but it's all good, that's not "overheating" . Gave up while I still have hair .lol

    Disappointed,

    Sorta, - it was driving the vehicle to verify what the customer wants us to attend to, usually driving them to work/etc . Sometimes an annoying rattle in the back, just needed the trunk opened, and the golf clubs shifted. . No charge !

    Disappointed,

    Customer comes in with issue, we take customer and vehicle for test drive to verify complaint, give them an idea of issue, - to be followed by phone call. I seldom related the customers suggestions as to what their sister's boyfriend's mother's car once had similar yada yada .. Because it'd sooo...

    Last Nov. I was involved in an 833 imput leak, that went on and on, I mentioned the snap ring issue 2nd post cuz of experience. I also was going into great detail about how rocker shaft oiling occurred in two "squirts" - every two (2) crankshaft rotations, - for the second time in a coupla...

    Gas tank cleaning

    Any of you folks that have failures, use a fuel tank coating or anything after you cleaned it ? There are several avail for different tanks. Including some for aircraft . 8 fl oz is enough to coat the inside of a 6 gallon fuel tank. 32 fl oz (quart) is enough to coat the inside of a 25 gallon...

    Master Cylinder question.

    Sorry, No, not at all, I would use it .

    Master Cylinder question.

    Not shown is a series of holes in the piston behind the forward cup, so if the piston is drawn back quicker than fluid can pass the hole, the back of the cup unovers the piston holes, allowing fluid from the void to bypass the cup keeping the forward chamber full. Hope that makes sense. I spent...

    Master Cylinder question.

    No checkballs . Those side by side holes both fill the void behind the 1st chamber seal. Might be considered a "performance feature" lol

    Need opinion from those that KNOW.

    I've read in a coupla places thru the decades, some others too, likely, that the reservoir sizes had more to do with having enuff fluid to get thru a shoe/pad lifetime. Small reservoirs, = wheel cylinder capacity when shoes fully worn, plus a little bit. Disc brake same, enuff fluid capacity for...

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    I've seen chrome headers, some tubes blue, with a brown or green one in the mix caused by a booster tap left open, leaning a cyl and the 1 tube glowed, and always looked funny thereafter. I've seen cars towed in, "new engine wouldn't run right, - ran it for 20 mins to break in cam, the headers...

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    If you don't care what the headers look like, or know for a fact you have the knowledge to recognize a lean running engine and immediately shut it off, and be able to correct the issue before re-firing, - go for it .

    How Could I Be So Stupid/Careless?

    I bought my wife a TVR British sports car, 1800 lbs, 289 Shelby 307h/p. Ours had wire wheels with knock-offs, - get a phone call, "my left front tire kept going straight when I turned right". Found the tire, got it on the car, found out 3 inch ground clearance doesn't leave room for a jack...

    How Could I Be So Stupid/Careless?

    Yeah, the starter drive circlip shooting across 30 ft garage, hearing it ricochet twice, and finding pieces of it in 2 cylinders of opposite banks of max wedge at start-up, taught me to never leave carbs/intakes "uncovered".

    Will I die? Drag Radials in the Rain

    If you're seriously worried about traction, - before drag radials, we ran around on "cheater slicks" , two narrow tread groves on a 7 inch slicks was common back then, in every condition but snow . Easy on the gas pedal, let fear and common sense guide you .

    Will I die? Drag Radials in the Rain

    We put Nitto drag radials on Member Cannucky's Stroked Barracuda, he drove year round, including across country summer/winter, - he did have it shipped by rail back a few times cuz the car wouldn't drive West, rofl, IIRC . Hope he is well .
