What Greg (TB) said The way I read what you are contemplating, you have the two shafts parallel WITHOUT load. You want the two parallel UNDER load. So if the trans is 5 down (sounds like a lot, I agree with Greg, TB, I'd try and raise that) then you want the pinion down maybe...

Damn. Plus and minus. He is only a year younger than I, and part of that may well be birthday month. A quick search "may" have shown that no other driver is even close to John in age, in top fuel.

I would as well. Those technically/ legally are never supposed to be removed, except under the watchful eye of the gobt

You are a lot further along than I am!!!

EDIT LOL You and I were typing at same time Get down to the basics, compression, fuel, spark. Maybe the cylinders are fuel washed. Maybe run a compression check on 2 or 3 easy to get to. Certainly throw a little fuel down the carb, and fuel been sitting may be a problem, make sure...

That car cannot be fixed. You need to ship it up here to me I would adjust both/ all 4 drum brakes up tight, bleed the brakes, and see what that gets, then slack off the adjusters until they rub "lightly" and go from there. If you are unfamiliar with drum brakes they can be quite...

What many guys do is use the 68/ later gasket, which fits all the way to 76. You must but the retainer clips for the 68 and later trim, and of course drum up a set of the 68 and later trim as well. Here's one thread...

A big part of the problem is the games the gobt/ EPA is playing with equipment/ refrigerants. It is a multi prong spear. They are screwing around with refrigerants, and these require somewhat different/ specialized repair/ maintenance procedures and equipment, as well as recovery...

Almost sounds like you put tension on the column harness connectors and damaged or pulled out some of the terminals. I would start there, both the ignition connector and the TS connector.

I would change the rear gear, or figure out why the engine won't pull off the line. Here's an example. In the 70's I swapped a bone stock 71 (high compression) low miles 340 into what was my 70 440-6 RoadRunner. You are talking about a fairly heavy car, the "hemi" 18 spline box...

Is this automatic column shift? If so you likely got the neutral start switch linkage out of adjustment. Try holding the key to "start" and wiggle the shifter from park through neutral and back. Also if you do not have a shop manual, run over to MyMopar.com and download it, free. Some...

No, Fram has always been junk. I've seen cut apart ones LONG before that, probably the first were mag articles in the early 70's, and first hand with a Wix rep cutting open several about 74-75

In addition to what has been said about the plug tubes, etc, make certain that something hasn't happened to "wash" the rings. Maybe the carb needle seat stuck and flooded it bad, maybe the FUEL PUMP is leaking gas into the pan. I would get good plugs in it, make sure it seems to be...

Don't they both mean the same thing?

Long ago and far away, in the mid 70's, I put a !!!!!!!! 360 !!!!!! into what used to be my 440-6 RoadRunner, and put the 340 that I HAD swapped into it into my old Toyota FJ40 RR. Obviously, this is long before Al Gore invented the internet, and in the back woods of N Idaho. I...

Interesting!

You better read what you typed, I'm like, "whut?"

If you are talking about the rear "half moon," no 273/ 318/ 340 pans have the larger cutout, about the same size both ends. The 360 is smaller.

Wix are properly made. If it was OEM, the wix will have it. For decades and decades, the Mopar Wix filters are 51515 (1 qt) and 51068 (short filter)

Post photos!!! LOL. Of the others.

The question, tho is how stock do you want it, and how old and beat is your OEM alternator? If it is coming maybe close to have lived it's days, consider getting an alternator for about a 74 Dart, which is the more modern "squareback" and has two field terminals. Buy the regulator...

MOST modern replacements for the 69 and earlier regulators ARE solid state, HOW DO YOU tell? Easy. If it is about 1/2 as tall it is solid state. If it is full height, turn it upside down and look at the bottom. The original electro-mechanical ones had 1 or 2 wirewound resistors on...

Some of the aftermarket stuff make underdash kits that are small than the original OEM and mount sort of in place of them. Classic Air is one, I'm sure others will chime in

Be careful screwing around with pans. Especially some of the knock off replacements, (I think Milodon?) interfere with some performance oil pumps Make sure you check that. It is possible for the rear of the pan to stress the pump and crack the casting.

Haulin! And it looks GREAT. Geez man that little car looks like 10 pounds packed into a 5 pound bag!!

Not sure that is really a problem. If you locate the rotor contact so it's in the middle of the curve, you are not talking about much leeway Yes. But you can also use filtering. Back in the day, with 2 way radios, it was common in some rigs to see coaxial/ feed-through capacitors...

https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nhra/a61225076/nhra-great-john-force-hospital-crash-virginia-nationals/ "Force was able to exit his car and was alert and talking with the Safety Safari workers on site before he entered an ambulance." Well THAT is a positive note, at least

You need to figure out a way to NOT stress the joints. Got some larger wood drills? Drill a 2x4 to pass the tube, saw it in half and use it as a clamp on the tube in your vise. How valuable is the car? I would be temped to just cut the holes a bit, punch them oblong, and if necessary...

I guess a crank trigger is one way around this? The phasing problem I mean. Keep in mind that electronic advances do not truly control spark "advance." More accurately they control more or less RETARD. This means the trigger must have to ability to start the electronics long...

You know me, Mr. Backyard method. Why couldn't you machine/ rough machine a bushing ring, BRAZE / silver braze it to your retainer, and then do a clean up cut on the late to get it properly round and concentric to the retainer? In fact for guys with limited machine tools, might...
