And not currently available. Layson's has had them but looks to be out of stock, too. Mine aren't perfect, but I guess they're good enough.

Like a jerk store, where you go to buy jerks.

I'm going to follow this thread. :popcorn:

Here's a few pictures that might help. Unrestored speaker bracket. Note the insulating foam. That side goes against the dash to prevent speaker rattles. Not my picture, but I had it saved. This is my bracket after stripping, painting, and adding new insulating foam. The foam is just home...

Brockway has a devoted but small following. I know they have, or at least had pre-covid, an annual convention every summer in Cortland. Mack had bought out Brockway several years before they shut them down. So there was probably a great deal of consolidation of design resources. I'm pretty...

I grew up near the plant where Brockway trucks were manufactured. Fifty years ago, they were all over upstate New York. Most local municipalities used them. There's a farm near where I live now that has at least thirty. Most are worked regularly, but some are restored for show. I had a...

You're a big step closer, for sure.

That's gotta feel good.

As with anything with "wiki" in the name.

In 1978 they were able to get away without catalytic converters due to the gross vehicle weight rating put it in the category of a work truck. The exemption for the weight rating was adjusted upwards for '79, so they had cats that year. I don't know about air pumps, but less likely on a '79...

On Adam-12 today. I'll watch it sometimes just for the old cars that were new then, like the Belvedere. That Mack wasn't new when the episode was filmed circa 1969.

After re-finishing the steering wheel spokes, did you treat them or coat them with something to preserve their finish?

I think it looks really good. If you want it lower, you could cut the sway bar links to get more clearance. And like SIX225 said above, when using rubber control arm bushings only torque control arm bolts after setting final ride height.

Tom builds his own mufflers which are faithful reproductions of those used on the short-lived Pontiac Vacuum Operated Exhaust option. I'd never heard of that before seeing Tom's posts. Very cool stuff. Here's one of Tom's posts. There are a couple more. Eighteen Year Old VOE Mufflers

I'll take it please, PM coming now.

While wind can effect the rate of cooling of an inanimate object, it doesn't lower its temperature below that of ambient.

I looked, but I can't find it. I have the bar, which used to have both brackets on it. I used one, but it was so long ago I don't remember which. I'll keep looking, but I'm not optimistic it'll turn up soon.

I asked one of the principals at Mopar Action if they were working on a comeback in digital or print. This was his reply: "MA is 100% dead. It was doing just fine but the parent corporation got involved with sports illustrated, which took down the whole house of cards." Mopar Action was...

Correct. The brackets and bushings weren't serviced separately. If you needed to replace the bushings, you had to order the entire anti-sway bar. :realcrazy: Polyurethane replacement bushings are available. I haven't seen rubber, but they could be out there. I burned the rubber ones out...

Just did it last year, so it's fresh in my memory. :)

If it's still original, the speaker is screwed to a bracket. The bracket is held up on each end by a square shanked carriage bolt that points downward, and whose head is hidden under the defogger outlet vents. As said in post 2, reach up and remove the nuts however you can, and the speaker and...

Holes in the pavement years after an pretty good burnout. Long distance rear window shot of said burnout.

Not all Hemis got Danas. Lots of automatics got 8.75s which were standard on many Hemi cars unless optioned up.

I've heard that was the reason. Unleaded fuel would require lower compression, and the extra cubes would help offset it. The timing roughly coincides with the other changes made to accommodate unleaded, ie. hardened valve seats.

My '69 383 Super Bee was a lightweight bench seat coupe with a 4-speed and 3:91 gears. The only options were sure grip, power steering with a cooler, and a radio. It ran pretty good, but when I put on headers, Crane Cam, lifters and springs, Edelbrock Torquer and a 750 double pumper I dipped...

You know that the VIN isn't on the fender tag on '68s? To match the tag you'll need your shipping order number. This can be found on the radiator support or in the weatherstrip area of the trunk. Nice car!

1971-74 A-Body except manual. 1-1/32" inch bore diameter. Should have 3461187 casting number.

What is your goal? Why do you want to replace the (I'm assuming) factory Kelsey-Hayes calipers? If it is for weight reduction, maybe take a look at SSBC's aluminum calipers. They are supposedly direct replacements for the cast iron K-H calipers. I don't like that company, or its predecessor...

If you want to keep your wheels, you need to be concerned with more than the bolt pattern. The size of the Wilwood hub is larger than will fit the center register on factory 5x4" wheels and probably 5x4.5" wheels. If you already have aftermarket wheels, then maybe they'll fit.

Use an adapter that attaches directly to the spindle. You need to remove the dust cap and the hub cap on your wheel. Screw on the adapter and attach your magnetic mount gauge. Longacre Racing Products 52-78414 Longacre Caster Camber Gauge Adapters | Summit Racing
