    440 Roller Cam suggestions

    I'm slowly gathering parts for my stock-ish RB440 six pack build, and I'd like to run a stock-ish hydraulic roller cam. I want a smooth idle, and I figure stock 440+6 power is plenty for an A-body. What kind of roller cam specs will compare to the OEM .450/.458 cam? I don't mind if it's a step...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    Just like '08, the reality of EV's is setting in. There's a time and a place. They work much better in western Europe, but here in the US, they're impractical for lots of things. Tesla suffers from the Jurassic Park Problem: Just because they can, does that mean that they should? i.e...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    I recently watched the drag race callout where they towed the Porsche and raced the other Porsche. Admittedly, they gave it a good run for towing another vehicle, but it also highlighted how much marketing and sneaking Tesla does. Musk is great about sensationalism and he is a mainly an idea...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    I saw one Saturday. I, for one, love the Cybertruck. It's revealing Tesla for the smoke n' mirrors overhyped, over-engineered, under-thought trash that they are.

    Star Fire Coolant

    Where is it made? I generally don't buy the cheapest I can find when it comes to lubes and coolants, but a lot of people do and don't have problems.

    Hood clearance Question

    I'd also consider the three-nipple fuel filter as suggested in Mopar Action https://www.moparaction.com/2016/03/16/vaporware/ This allows fuel to cycle back to the tank, so the fuel remains constantly cycled with cool fuel from the tank. People forget that fuel filters can percolate fuel too.

    Hood clearance Question

    With the air gap, I'd consider running a fresh air line from the core support to the area under the carb, if I was that worried about it, but any heat soak issues you have are going to occur at slow speed anyway, where a spacer is of limited value in your configuration anyway. If fuel boil-off...

    Wheel Adapters

    "SEMA Approved" That's funny right there. "Approved" by a trade association. That tells you they're cheap bullshit, right on the product. FYI I can tell you just by looking at them that they're cast....

    Solid strut rod bushing on stock strut rods...good idea?

    I've always wondered if steel cable would work instead of rods. Stupid idea.

    Short Shaft Slip Yoke 727's in Old Airport Tugs?

    The trams at Worlds Of Fun in Kansas City had propane-fueled Slant 6's with short 727's. A buddy that knows what he's talking about (dart4door) has seen them. I don't know what kinds of yokes they used. When I was at R&R Salvage right before they closed, they had a dumpster full of 8 3/4...

    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    He had a shoulder no matter what. It ain't his fault, but he paid the price. Sometimes you just gotta be responsible for yourself and there's no other way to say it.

    Fuse Box Repair?

    Yeah this is my preferred method. Then the diagram is already made for you. In either case, draw/print a diagram, add any changes you make to it, then get it laminated and keep it in your glovebox or trunk. You'll be shocked how quickly you forget where that red wire you added went, and the...

    Fuse Box Repair?

    These also can work well, but please be aware that Chinese version of these (and Chinese fuses) have caused many fires and circuit damages. Harbor Freight even had a recall on fuses. SAFETY RECALL

    Fuse Box Repair?

    If it's not a resto, consider splicing in a modern fusebox from a later-model car like a Neon or something. This will give you the blade fuses and some relays to work with.

    Solicitor repellant

    I just interrupt them by word two and tell them I'm a convicted felon and can't vote. That wraps things up pretty quick. Works good on people stopping you out front of stores, too.
