    do racy camshafts affect engine braking?

    I agree. If you did some accurate measurements, I think you would see a differance. However in real world driving, I don't think you would be able to tell. Just a WAG on my part.

    Sorry to hear that. I knew Duke well. How about Hank Dinger, is he still with us? He used to work the tower and did the "Competion Copyright".

    Don't forget if the engine is 1968 or newer, and using the 65 auto trans, you will need an adapter bushing for the crank.

    Looks like Island Dragway. Don't know if any of the racers/staff I knew are still going there. Used to be my home track from the '60's to the mid '80's.

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    That part number is for a High refrigerant pressure switch, not for a power steering high pressure sw. This thread has come off the tracks.

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    I can tell you right now, the 88 Diplomat does not have a power steering high pressure AC cutout switch. Got one of those in my yard right now. It has a refrigerant low pressure cutout switch mounted on the "H" valve.

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    Off the top of my head, I don't remember that switch on Mopars of the vintage in question. I would have to check my manuals to refresh my memory. But that is correct for some AC systems. Rob, do you remember any models specifically?

    [WANTED] Headers

    Norm, your best bet for headers are the Clifford "shorties", unless you have power steering. They will not fit the 66 down "A" body with power steering. The front collector will hit the steering box.

    67 Belvedere RO23 info needed

    Trying to get some info on a 1967 RO23 Belvedere for a friend. Does anyone know what size tires/wheels came from the factory? Also were they delivered with a spare tire and jack? For my curiosity, Any documentation on how many of these cars still exist? I know this is a "A" body site, but many...

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    That is not totally correct. Those switches had noting to do with RPM. Would just shut off the compressor if the high side AC pressure was excessive (and/or too low due to system leak, depends on year/vehicle)

    8-1/4 rear brake backing plates and drums

    That's what I thought, but wasn't sure.

    8-1/4 rear brake backing plates and drums

    A "B" body 8 3/4 axel assy should be large bolt pattern. Only "A" body 8 3/4 axles were small bolt pattern. Didn't all Volare/Aspen have big bolt pattern? As for swapping, I can't answer that.
