I was always told that J and X heads are the same except for the intake valves. If the J head has 1.88 intakes and you have 2.02s put in, you essentially have X heads. That is the way I understand it.

I totally agree that the Master Cylinder could be the culprit. However, you did not mention whether you changed the front brake hoses. Old brake hoses can cause a slightly spongy pedal. I assume you swapped them out. Just asking.

Reading this made me think of something funny. I was an assistant Manager at a Western Auto for five years after I got out of the Air Force in 1993 while going back to school. One night a lady came into the shop and with a straight face asked, "Can you guys grease my son's rear end". We all...

Great find. It doesn't really look all that bad for sitting outside for 35 years.

How is your insurance company taking care of you?

Hey, @standup303, you could also contact Phoenix Radiators. I got one of their 'Perfect Fit' (or some name like that) radiators about 15 years ago. It not only truly fit perfectly, it looked almost exactly like a Mopar radiator. I painted it with Eastwood black radiator paint, put a stock shroud...

Welcome. Beautiful car. maybe I am a little prejudice, but I think a 69 Fastback 340 4 speed is the best A Body. With the exception of the color of the car and the callout stripe, our cars are almost twins. Is that Seafoam Green? On my computer, I can't tell if it is the Seafoam Green...

Some close-up pictures of your floor pans would have been a little better, but what I see does not look bad. I would consider cutting out the rust and welding and patches. If, however, the rust is worse than what I am seeing, then reproduction floor pans would be a better way to go.

Although I do like V8 engines, I do have to agree with Rusty rat rod on this issue. Some of the neatest encounters I have had with people at Mopar car shows was somebody who had a slant six car that was pretty much untouched and original. They love driving the car, they love the attention it...

Mine, obviously. 1. It was originally a Seafoam Green car that is now F8 green. 2. I completely restored it myself. The only things I didn't do was the chrome work and the machine work on the block. Otherwise I did everything myself; rust repair, body work, paint, engine rebuild, etc. 3. It was...

I installed a complete MSD system about 6 years ago; MSD box, non-vacuum advance MSD distributor, MSD coil and MSD wires. It runs very well. Plus, it starts much easier/faster and idles better now.

I was never a big Bruce Springsteen Fan.

I am pretty good with automobile electrics. Not an expert like many others on this forum, but I get by. It sounds to me like @YO7_A66 is trying to track down an open circuit that is draining the battery. If you take the negative cable off the post and check for current flow between the post and...

Moog used to be the bomb, now they are junk. Yet another example of an American company shipping its production to Asia. You said the steering is loose? Do you have a lot of slop and play in the steering wheel? That could be caused by a worn out PS steering box, if you have PS.

How do you bleed a caliper with the bleeder valve on the bottom? Well, maybe not exactly on the bottom, but certainly not on top.
