    Dimpled Pistons?

    Back in the 90’s GM experimented with what looked likes BB’s impregnated into the top of the pistons for the same effect. But found square cubes of the same size worked better but over short time the corners melted off and negated the effect. I did not understand how those corners did not cause...

    Paint question

    Leave it - change the fender (who cares the color) and go full “Joe Dirt.” I however do like the look. When I was in Highschool (tech school) a guy in the body shop for giggles buffed red primer after laying down like 4 coats. Buffed out to a beautiful flip flop purple/ red. He clear coated...

    Antenna installation on a ‘63 Valiant

    Yes drill in the bump out in the center there. Antenna grommet goes there (small like 1/2”) to seal the cable. It kinda looks like a pimple on the side of the triangle. Drill inside to outside.

    Vin trouble

    Welcome aboard- but your car is an F-body- not an abody. Although most of us can help you, A FBody website may have more info. As for decode- since 76’ was the first year for that style Aspen/ Volare I’m guessing the program or DMV (you need to clairify that) is wrong. Chances are you are good...

    Headers

    They don’t save temps- that’s BS. Heat is heat and you wrap them to cut back on heat. Manifolds are fine - but not for controlled power. REAL headers are built specifically for the individual engine and car, weight etc. Boxed units are a balance of looks cool and function. If you don’t coat...

    PST tubular UCA too long??

    Left and right are pretty obvious due to rebound bumper position. What does the directions read?

    Center drag link, are they really $600? 1964 dart

    The whole reason you would not bash in your oil pan to clear the slant 6 link is because with a mid sump oil pan, oil sloshing back on hard excels has actually been the cause of oil starvation. Adding a larger hurdle for oil to return to the sump is not good. Also with the early abodies- hood...

    Full new wiring harness?

    Nobody builds a harness to match what you want. It’s either a factory style new harness or a painless (Chevrolet copy cat) or build your own.

    Honestly they look like old Chevrolet chevette seats.

    Doug's D453-ss

    Normal- if they were not there, you would never get the bolts in.

    Going back to the basics- here is why:

    Big difference in failure rate: modular inside distributor vs MoPar mounted outside distributor. 4 years now. I still would be driving so it was not a complete failure.

    Going back to the basics- here is why:

    So the 66’ progressively is getting worse when I step on the gas. Breaking up and hesitating and just running like dog snot. Checked timing, thru in new plugs (old ones looked great.) Ohmed out the wires, checked the cap, and nothing to write home about. Then, at 4am this morning I thought about...

    Is Bradenton Fl. going to get closed down by subdivision?

    That’s not the full story. The kids did not want to take over the track when the parents got older. It was a staging yard for new cars for a while. Funny they spent all that money on going full on NHRA big events and then it died off. Cut my teeth at Englishtown.

    rear suspension lift

    Chicken or egg debate now. The springs are shot and drooping. If you replace with even MP springs the *** end will go up just because of the new springs. Trying to predict the height based off old junk springs is like guessing how many worms are under the grass. Unless you have psychic powers...

    rear suspension lift

    Just buy new springs assemblies and call it a day. Your bushings are dry and shot if all original. Regardless of low mileage. They have been holding up that car for 50 years.

    Bending a sway bar

    I’ve used a Oxy act torch with great results. Just remember to let it naturally cool on its own. No water. I also only took it to dark orange (the point when it will bend with a little arm strength) not bright orange. They start to stretch and loose their strength at that point. Syleng1

    One from the past. Brown Sugar

    What the heck was going on? I’ve never raced at a track that allowed that many people on the tar when a race was going down. Sad to see that car wreck. Hope the driver was okay.

    Small Blocks

    I would ask for a different front suspension so the oil pan dumped in the rear. Mid sump or front sump on hard excelleration causes the oil to flow toward the back and not only starving bearings of oil but the weights of the crank now slinging oil everywhere.

    Borgeson power input shaft size

    I did the Borgeson box in my 66 about 3 years ago now. Different spline that Ma MoPar. Best upgrade so far. FYI
