I'm a bit of the opposite- as I have gotten older I have gotten a lot less tolerant of some things... but I'm working on that. It's just my OCD working overtime. It's not worth getting wound up over relatively minor things when there's so much rampant stupidity in the rest of the world.

There's only 2 open holes, the rest are just accessory bosses. #1 is a manifold vacuum port for power brake hookup, as previously stated. Plug it if you have manual brakes. #2 is the throttle cable clamp mounting boss for '66 and earlier 273s. Not used on '67 and later, since they use a...

Firmfeel Mopar Suspension and Steering

It can be done by yourself, but be sensible about it and don't rush yourself. How I do it: Clean the door and jamb thoroughly, then outline the hinge as closely as possible with masking tape. Then wrap tape around all the door and jamb edges to help prevent contact/chipping the paint. Roll the...

Never assume anything, just because it's an Eddy- remember these posted by PBR? (rest easy, brother) I haven't personally seen them this bad, but I honestly don't see as many as he did. The lesson nowadays is to learn from other's experiences and be prepared to do some work no matter where...

That Torana looks like it's smokin' the front tires- must be a braking test?

Compare the GM/Chevy linkage arm to any of the "universal" ones from Eddy/Holley- you likely can use one of their Mopar linkage adapters on the Q-Jet, might need a little work but should be close. You will still need 4bbl. (or modded 2bbl.) throttle/kickdown brackets if you're converting from a...

No pic, but made some breakfast hash (egg/taco meat/hashbrowns) with a side of bacon (naturally!), mimosas, and coffee with Irish Cream afterwards. Just throwing the glazed ham into the oven as we speak. Will be what the wife calls "Lupper" that we can carve and nibble at all afternoon and...

The $100 bill cliche always got me- if you're launching hard enough that they can't grab the bill, it would probably be falling off the dash into their lap...

I've never seen a listing for anything larger than 21 teeth. Are you sure on that count?

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. :)

I have no parts books of the appropriate vintage, but I *believe* the only Magnums that may have come with different valve springs MAY be the '98-'03 Dakota R/T. But if you manage to find one of those in the boneyard, I'd be grabbing the entire engine and not just the valve springs. Otherwise...

That's what probably started it, when Ford changed their designation from 302 to 5L. Heck, they even tried it in '66 with the Galaxie 7 litre, but that went over like a lead balloon at the time. But that was how the factory named it, so ya gotta give it a pass. But Mopar never offered a 5.6...

Thanks, same to you and yours. Sad part is that today's only the third day of winter... :BangHead:

Oh, yeah. I can tell right away how old the person who posted "liters" is... Extra demerits if you write "litres" (Okay, if you're one of our non-North American members, I'm good with that). Only exceptions are Magnums (just to distinguish them from LAs), Gen III hemis or the occasional 2.2/2.5...
