The entire point of SEMA is to boost the sales of whoever pays to be a SEMA member. That's what these bogus little 'awards' of theirs are designed to do. It's a circle-jerk for marketing purposes, is all.

Continuing on that theme: All but the bottom-of-the-bottom-of-the barrel products from the sewer have counterfeit/fraudulent type-approval and certification markings and labels (the shіttiest ones don't even have fake markings). Also common: irrelevant markings that look impressive and...

Read this book. I did, and it managed to lower my already-thought-it-couldn't-be-any-lower opinion of the lavishly subsidized sewer that is Chinese industry and its American enablers. Lowering that particular opinion of mine is a neat trick, because I have direct experience with that festering...

Uhhh…yeah.

Bulk wrap. The E3 spark plugs are only more efficient at pulling money out of your wallet when you buy them. There's nothing new or groundbreaking about them, and the maker's claim that "the spark plug hasn't changed since 1904" is idiotic. I had to give them credit for at least having some...

:lol:

NGK #ZFR5N (stock number 3459). Extra-long electrodes move the spark away from the quenchout area for more consistent ignition across a wider range of fuel/air mixes, which gives a little better driveability and mileage. Autolites are now Chinese-made garbage. Champions have always been cheap...

It's not on any rings. It's a case of someone guessing at a cause for something he thinks he sees. The TS rings do not yank in any more oil than any other well-fitted, well-seated rings.

Er-ruh…no. Citation needed.

Make sure you're not setting off on a wild goose chase. Are you absolutely certain it's oil you're seeing? Could easily be gasoline residue, which looks and feels a great deal like oil. Are you actually losing (using) oil as indicated by the dipstick? You may want to just put an oil trap in...

Uh-huh. This 318 car of yours, is it a 9-second car? Is it a race car at all? If not, what your mechanic did was dumb.

That's not correct. The engine oil will get much dirtier much more quickly, and so will the crankcase itself. PCV is all benefit, no drawback.

Do you also want to shove a cork in your tailpipe because the engine smokes? Don't be halfaѕѕed. Find and fix the problem. If your PCV system is actually sucking oil into the intake tract, then it means something's wrong. You're missing baffles or your breather is toast or there's...

You ought to have at least some air entering the crankcase to sweep it clean and prevent dirt ingress past shaft seals. How to set it up depends on how tight a ring seal you've got (i.e., how much pressure there is in the crankcase). Be careful how much vacuum you create in the crankcase. Too...

"Zero tolerance" = zero brains.

Late to the party here, but for reference, here's info on '73 and '74 A-body bumpers: ("Fastback" means Duster/Dart Sport)

The alternator you're after is from an '88-'91 Dodge Dakota, D-series truck, or B-series van with a 3.9 V6, 5.2 V8, or 5.9 V8; or an '88-'89 M-body (Diplomat, Gran Fury, New Yorker Fifth Avenue, or Canadian Caravelle). It has the V-belt pulley you'll need, and electrically it'll hook up to any...
