Running great! Drove her 4-5k miles last year, including a 300 mile round trip down to Oregon. Went 70 mph down the whole way. Even after a couple months of slumber, a few pumps of the gas pedal and it lit right off. Looking forward to car cruise season!

Hello! Long time no see. I've been buried in school and work lately, and I still am! But I took a weekend to go to the Portland Swap Meet. I wasn't really needing anything, but you can't NOT go to a major swap meet. Turns out, I did need something! This is a 68 Barracuda dash. I've always...

Hello! Alright so my boyfriend and I are trying to figure this one out and it has us scratching our heads. He's got a 67 Dart with a 78 318/904 combo. Budget junkyard rebuild, new seals and bearings with a 340-esque cam. Mechanical fuel pump and stock tank. He's been driving it as is for a few...

Holy crap! I literally came on here to post about dang near the exact problem. Above 65 mph is when it starts to get that low frequency vibration and "whoomp, whoomp, whoomp". 65+mph the vibration starts is higher (the oscillation gets faster) and the vibration gets a bit worse. Happened with my...

The robot was around 60k, I believe the controller was around 30-60k? I'm sure there was some educational discount.

Oh for sure. The instructor told me the price and I was surprised. THEN he told me that was just for the robot itself. The whole control cabinet was separate. Yikes! That is super cool! We've got mini Fanuc robots for training, and I have my Level 1 CERT from them as well. We'll be diving into...

A full sized Kuka industrial robot! All electrical, capable of a payload of 130 lbs. A bit of background. I'm a student studying Mechatronics, which, before you ask, is a mixture of mechanical and electrical engineering with programming thrown in. Highly focused on manufacturing and automation...

I'm #39,837. A LOT later than most but I joined when I got my Dart as my very first car 6 years ago. This forum is a wealth of knowledge, and I hope to one day be as helpful as most of you!

After beginning this project with my Dart in January of 2019, I began by ripping out the slant six and trans for a complete rebuild and overhaul of the drivetrain. All was going to go well until I was told the block was bad and not worth repairing. Even after obtaining a second slant six block...

I've always heard about the Canon eye focus and wondered if it worked accurately. I just spotted an article stating that they might/are going to bring back that eye focusing with their new mirrorless lineup. Pretty neat stuff, especially for back then! Do you still use your film bodies?

I have my reasons for buying a transmission. I've attempted to rebuild one first and I ended up spending a lot of time trying to diagnose issues that weren't changing at all. I absolutely hate having somebody else build things for me, but I couldn't have my car sitting anymore. Anyways, closing...

Additional tidbit. When placed in park, parking pall is not engaging fully : driveshaft still sounds I hear the pall 'clicking' as if it's not fully seated properly. I don't that has anything to do with it, but definitely a problem. I'm real tempted to take the valve body out but I will call...

Almost done with installing a fresh V8 A904 and we're on the middle of installing a Lokar kickdown cable. We hook up the cable, and we try to move the lever on the trans back. It wasn't moving, so we removed the cable and try to push the lever back. It won't : it stops hard when you should start...

Oh, dang! Guess you can't forget about a forum post without people getting grumpy. Sorry, I've got full time work and full time school. Keeps a person preoccupied for sure. But! I do appreciate all the advice, I really do. I've called Precision and their very friendly people advised me the...

Hey all, So I've been thinking about it lately that I've put some good money and time into my engine and transmission, but really cheaped out on a torque converter. Right now I've got a 360 small block with: stock heads, 9.5:1 compression, 204/dur cam with 109 lobe separation and .450 valve...
