I use pure silicone grease to get that O-ring started . Somebody told me that stuff is the slipperiest grease money can buy. IDK if it is or isn't but for what it costs, it outta be! Second best is the grease that comes with your treadmill, for greasing the belt/track. I haven't tried it but I...

1) The O-ring on the reverse lever has to be the best you got, cuz the oil level is higher than the ring, so if it doesn't seal, you got a leaker and worse is that you get to take it apart again. 2) the front Retainer has to be a tight fit into the BH, in order to keep everything concentric. 3)...

It doesn't matter when you loose the LCAs. It only matters that you not tighten them until the car is at ride height. If you loose the UCAs, you will likely lose your alignment, so I would not do that. Some aftermarket BJs are extremely tight, and will sorta "stick" which will cause wandering

If you are running so much Idle-advance as to affect the cranking, my guess is that the Transfer slots are gonna be nearly closed too, just so it will idle slow enough. That's also gonna lead to long crank times as the engine struggles to get fuel, and whatever it does get, if it ain't burning...

...This will depend an awful lot on the cam, the compression ratio, and the ignition timing. If you have to retard the ignition timing like I do, to 5*, then the entire bottom end will be weak. That's quite a lot to have to think about. BTW-1 for your application, I find no fault with your...

...your other parameters need to match up as well''' Like specified usage, cylinder pressure, gears, and stall. Just cuz the cam card says plus 4* doesn't mean that's what is best. For example; My engine has a clutch and a preponderance of cylinder pressure , So I don't need the cam-advance...

...you that running over 190psi cylinder pressure, on 87E10, makes me a very happy streeter. I saved a lotta lotta money on running that cheap gas. ********************************* The intermediate version is; My combo is pretty much limited here in Manitoba to 65mph, 75 on certain parts of the...

at one time, I used farm supply machine washers.

pervert! You know, I wouldn't say it to your face but I like them hats in the wind too, just thinking about them, my wife's hats I mean. And, to think, I tell her every day; but, no matter how often I tell her, I'm still the pervert. Daym woman, I was born like this, you knew it before we got...

I woke up this morning having slept six hours straight thru, on my right side. That's a miracle by itself. But man 8 hours later and my right hip still hurts, lol. Ya think I gotta start setting the alarm to wake me, so as I can roll over? Criminy, I'm only 71!

There is no order to the brass rings except as I noted in my post. If your trans was not slipping out if gear on deceleration, and if you did not have to hold it in any gear for to keep it from popping out, then I would reuse the synchronizers. Judging by the looks of your brass, the...

My wife got too old for doing much of anything and caught that couch-potato fever. I'm just watching the hands of time transform her into her mother. It ain't pretty. I tried to warn her 17 years ago. Fat lot of good that did me. But, yano, I got her a couple of dogs an I ain't walking them...

Movement does not equate to worn out, and the nut stops on the metal tube so that's where it's supposed to be. But I admit that on a 68 car, those bushings could be ancient. and if they are, then so might be any and or all the other ones as well....... especially the LCA inner one. Since you...

Yea I'd be in but 2400 km each way.

...it rocks left to right or right to left, whichever; and mark the brass with a permanent marker, directly in front of you which should be at 90* to the rocking. This point is of a smaller than normal diameter as the brass has been pinched there. Your job will be to restore the diameter back...

Too much Corvair look to quads on that Valiant. Maybe photoshop a pair of small Cibies onto the bumper?

Remove the loaded output shaft from the tail, then just bonk the nose on the floor and it will fall right off. The chipped teeth on that reverse gear are nothing; in fact, as far as those go, yours are about as clean as a used gear can be. As for bearings, the way most people test them, there...

Hmmmmmmmmm I forget. There is however a correct way. My GUESS is that the no nipple side (on the right) goes to intake vacuum. and the other to the mixing valve. But I just can't remember.

Saginaw for the win, If you are like me, every fall when the wetfreezing snow comes down, I like to do big figure-eights on parking lots, and tiny ones in the middle of the road. But no Federal I had, could keep up. Whereas the first Saginaw I bolted on was an instant winner. Now I can do...

No lock nuts, no loc-washers. The factory nuts had a wide base on them which was serrated. Any and all nuts that you install there will work themselves loose, and away goes your neutral gate. This happens because all these decades later, the interface between the studs and the levers, have...

From a street perspective; My stock 68 Barracuda tubs accept 325s with just the springs offset. IIRC those are 13.6 profile on 10s , but 10s are really not wide enough. Even my 295s on tens have to run down at 24psi for long tread-life. I got used to the rear steer and now I like it. But, on...

You know the combo demands more traction, especially in the sideways direction. And if you don't do it first, there's a good chance you'll slide that Dart right into the only hydro-pole within 300 yds, on the maiden voyage. And besides, it will be the biggest expense. To that end, if I may be...

That's pretty darn tight, but it is more than Zero, lol.. Don't forget about pinion wrap-up under power. I fabricated a couple of spacers, to install between the spring mounting brackets and the body. I got another quarter inch on the factory studs. I needed it anyway for tire clearance.

...of the combustion chamber; be it temperate, shape, design, cleanliness, or the effing sparkplug sticking up into it. If a man tells you 38* and you rattle the skirts into the oilpan, whose fault is that? If a man tells you no, 34* is the maximum, and fuel economy drops to 10mpg, whose...

possibly cuz it already had 20 cubes over the 340, and 42 on the 318? But more likely to keep that girl sucking gas so the oil-barons could keep on getting richer. My second combo was the 11.3 Scr combo with the Hughes 270/276/110 cam at .028Quench, that with a manual trans geared for 65=1600/...

Like I said The slanty pedal is different. It is designed fo a smaller clutch, and so the pedal-ratio is shorter. If you put a 10.5 clutch on that pedal, especially a B&B, it gets considerably harder to push. Here are some options; 1) I like the slanty pedal and a diaphragm clutch, with NO...

Married 48 years. Mama's been out business for just a bit.

It wasn't my idea; I got it from a book, written years ago, by a man way smarter than me. If you get to smacking valves to release the locks, try not to drive them into the piston crowns .........

...about "the old days", cuz those old memories don't always come out of storage, in the same condition as they went in. So I try to keep them short. ********************************************** I have, tho, noticed false memories come out of that dungeon. After I haul one out, my wife might...
