What's absolutely hilarious is on some of the old anti UTG threads, I seem to remember quite a few comments about how awesome Nick was.... smmfh... At the end of the day, they're both in it for clicks and right or wrong, just like UTG, Nick has his cult followers.

What do you do for an air filter?

Nor trying to argue but I thought the 46RE (electronic) had 9 pins and the 46RH (Hydraulic) had 3. I know the OD on the Rh has to be done with some fenagling (adding a switch) when retrofitting into non computer controlled vehicles which sounds like what they did. Other than that I'm of zero...

Absolutely.

Cool thing about these is the fact the fox body platform as some great junkyard potential for suspension parts. The old turbo coupe had a good 8.8 RE with disks that is a bolt in, the springs and sway bars from the smaller, earlier LTD based cop car are also direct it swaps as are the 15x7...

Thinner wire produces less heat which makes welding sheet metal WAY easier.

When that happened to me with my MM180, it turned out to be slight corrosion on the wire itself. If you only weld occasionally, you might consider taking spool off and storing it someplace dry. Never had a problem until I moved to TX from the high desert. Also if you are't aware, you should...

:rofl:

Ha well that does put a damper in things. Personally unless I'm using my mill, I'm not using an end mill. I'd use a counterbore since it's just a facing operation.

Yup, again its all about will. That fixture is just a block of aluminum and a bolt. nothing fancy that couldn't be made in about 10 mins. It's a clever way to mount the rockers that's for sure.

You missed some context. If you look at the link for how OMM did it, it will make sense. Post #60 above

Where there is a will there is a way. You could do something very similar with a drill press, a decent vice and a counterbore bit. The trick is getting everything aligned and if it were me, and all I had was a drill press, I'd take the little fixture OMM made and chuck the "bolt" lightly into...

Oh I wasn't knocking it, just stating my opinion and we know what those are worth. lol

Doesn't take SEMA magabucks to make a set of molds. Time, energy and the desire to drive something different, just like the rest of us MoPar nutz. lol.

I get the op want's to avoid getting new pushrods etc, but the best solution is "fix" the rockers with jam nuts or replace the rocker or adjuster and move on. Anything else really seems like a hack to me. If this were a valve train geometry question, people would be all over doing things the...

In my opinion, a "wide body kit" on something that "square" should be comprised of more "square" elements like the old 80's M3 race cars such as... People tend to make kits that go against the grain of the original and things end up looking "off". Again, my opinion.

Ah yeah sorry, hence the need for longer pushrods. Got it.

Off the top of my head i don't know but I see them around here once in a while for sale. I could be wrong so I'm sure someone will correct me, the threads should be 3/8-24? Could probably get something suitable from Grainger in a hardened jam nut with the right threads. Comp cams also has...

Machining the tops for a jam nut doesn't change the length of the pushrod. Just makes a flat landing pad for the nut to tighten against.

here's one example 273 Rocker Arm modification jig for locking adjusters

Are you opposed to machining them to be able to use jam nuts?

Sorry for the basic question, but not being a painter, is that formula for a specific brand or is that what I'd hand my local paint supplier and it would be good to go?

Fair enough, but 87 is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Next time I'll keep quiet....

Tried to send a PM, your inbox is full. I'll take it

Self tapping screws will do the job as well. You can put them in, tap or press the high spots between down and weld away. Same thing when you remove the screws after. Done for floor pans all the time.

@Earlie A has sort of taken up the mantel and done a lot of work with the SM heads. Lots of great info from both @pittsburghracer and him on these heads. If I recall they would flow around 250 or just shy out of the box and peak around .500 lift? Someone is sure to correct me if I'm wrong...

Welcome! 71's are the best in my opinion, sorry you had to let it go. Any pics of it?

Thanks for clarifying everyone. I love learning new stuff!

Sorry if this particular language was already covered. As someone who has lived abroad and visited Austrailia a few times, they are telling you if you bought $1850 AUD using USD, for which you will pay in USD base on the exchange rate, senidng them the $1850 AUD is all that's needed. We used...

I'm sort if thinking X or R block ? Maybe some other specialty block?
