Steve has owned and/or been involved in so many cars over the years I thought the "green brick" was one of them

Well then who's valiant was that? The one I'm thinking of was a 69-70ish and a 2 door

I've honestly never had anything with a radical cam so I can't compare. I've always dealt with stock ot at "worst" an RV level cam in a /6 "just going by what I know/have experienced"for myself

I have a set of 302 heads here on the shelf fresh from the machine shop (ok 3 years ago but still not mounted on an engine) and yes I plan to pull them apart this summer and clean them up, mostly just casting flaws and yes I'm gonna RUN THEM... On a 318, even. Tough. Not going speed master, not...

People make so much about adjusting them as the old Chilton manuals said to do it(I believe this was the factory specified way too) like their afraid of them. Just fire it up, crank the idle as low as it'll go and still run, and go at it. I've done many of them like that over the years. I...

I thought the green brick valiant was his when they did the buildup of it in the magazine. I do remember the older one when had with the /6 that went overseas too, though.

Well I wouldn't want one. I've had f bodies (Aspen/volare) with that rear and my first Dakota with a non magnum 3.9 had one and I blew it to smithereens not even being hard on it. I replaced it with an 8-1/4. If the car is otherwise nice, and the price isn't crazy id buy it even if it had a...

Yup. All new aftermarket fuel sending units are made by the same outfit and reboxed and sold by many. I'm surprised Napa had it from any source. My son has bought at least 3-4 of them, one 80 Dodge d100, 87 ramcharger and 2 c body ones, one for each of the 72 fury wagons he's had. He finally got...

The first red flag I see is why the HEI? Did it originally have lean burn? 2nd red flag was when you were talking about the overcharging and the added relay. I've never had to add a relay to make the charging system behave. I have an 85 version of your truck, biggest difference is mine has a /6...

The last trans swap I did was a 46re into a Durango. I went thru 5 cans of "Kooler kleen" plus disconnected the lines and blew some right into the lines the cooler in the radiator and the one in front of the radiator and the replacement lasted 3 months. I have another one going in and this time...

My backyard is way too small. Barely room for the clothesline and the fish for the TV. I have a ~10x10 concrete pad just off the family room sliding glass door, I park either my utility trailer for my mowers or my camper on it, either hangs over on the grass front and back... My house is long...

I'll still keep my 85 d150 even with it's /6... Thanks but no thanks

Not many people have a clue where oppyville IL is I happen to work about 2 miles from there.... Look for watseka and you're real close.

What is called the "forward" clutch isn't the front most one as mounted in the trans, that would be the high,/reverse. The "forward" clutch which is engaged in all forward driving gears is actually the rearward mounted one in position within the case. There are 2 clutch packs in that overdrive...

I had 3.07s in a wrangler with the AX15 and 5th was all but useless under 55 with a stick 4.0 inline 6 and 235 15 tires even more so with the 31/10.50s I had on it for a while. I wouldn't worry about an OD trans with gears (numerically) lower than 3.21/3.23.
