    What is everyone’s opinion of wide body flares?

    The OP asked for opinions and he got them. For me, I was slow to embrace the OEM flares on the Challenger and Charger wide body models. I still prefer the standard versions but the Wide Body cars don't gag me as much to see now. Like stated before, the flares on a car with tucked in tires looks...

    T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

    The T-5 came in different ratios too. I thought that the 5.0 Mustangs had a version with a deeper 1st gear than the Camaros that used the T-5.

    funny pictures

    You know...I thought the same thing. I don't usually harp on a guy trying to add some worthy content to entertain others but sometimes the stuff just falls flat. There are a few guys at Phantom Bullet that post memes that are dull, lame, unfunny, grade school level and way overposted. I've...

    T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

    I think you're missing the point. The deep first gear is followed by a second gear about half the ratio. The rpm drop from 1 to 2 is tremendous. For stock engines with a wide torque curve, this is fine. For an engine with a narrower power band, (Like most 340s or 360s with a long duration cam)...

    T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

    Anyone that reads the ratios knows that the 833 OD is not a performance transmission but I had to try one for myself. My Duster.... Started off a slant six automatic, I swapped in a rebuilt 360 and 833. Later I wanted to try an overdrive just to see how I'd like it. It was a poor match for the...

    T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

    The 833 overdrive transmission sucks. The gear ratios are spread WAY far apart in first and second. From 2nd to 4th it is a close ratio design. It seems like it was designed for a heavy vehicle making very little power.

    Game Changing Powertrains and Electric Trucks | Watch the 2025 Ram Trucks Reveal

    The newer Dart could may have been a decent car but the fact that they reused a classic name just to sell cars annoys me. The same goes for the Charger. It is a great car but should have been named something else. They slapped DAYTONA on some Ram pickups before the rear wheel drive LX cars came...

    Game Changing Powertrains and Electric Trucks | Watch the 2025 Ram Trucks Reveal

    There goes the rape of another classic name, slapped onto something new that in no way resembles the vehicle it started on. Remember the front wheel drive Dart? How about the 4 door Charger?

    Those are the ones without the "spine" down the middle, right?

    Im convinced there is so much bullshit with these companies Right stuff is a joke

    Most of the time, you will with a 4 wheel disc arrangement given the large size of the caliper pistons. I ran one for years. It was not a problem but my rear brakes had a small caliper size. A larger bore requires moving a greater volume of fluid but if you keep an eye on the fluid level, it...

    Steering Box Ratio

    People can do their best to help steer others away from trouble but some people are still driven to do whatever they want. It has been mentioned that the early A steering components are unique to themselves, that the 1967-72 and 1973-76 A body steering components are different and do not fit the...

    The way it was in 1989 --Bikini contests.

    I've seen dudes that are regular looking that also have heavily tattooed faces. I can only guess that Meth or prison time was what led to that.

    The way it was in 1989 --Bikini contests.

    Absolutely. Smaller boobs but bigger hair. Women trimmed the playing field but didn't shave it all off. I sure miss that! We weren't so jaded, so divided. It sure was different. You'd rarely see freaks walking the street. People wore clean clothes to the store and didn't steal and walk out. I...

    Help!! What is this box?

    Only the guys that actually work on their car a lot. FACT. Another FACT. Waaa waa waaaaa. You posted crappy pictures of almost the same angle, didn't answer questions that were asked and now play the victim. Look, man, nobody is paid to help you here. Some do it to help people they will never...

    Who has some tips for asphalt driveway patches and repair?

    My driveway has some cracks and holes that need to be patched. I know that you can buy 5 gallon buckets of stuff to plug the holes so I'm leaning that way. I plan to eventually have the entire driveway sealed but I'm not sure when I will be able to. It has been in the low 70s for daily highs and...

    Worst Repair Ever!

    I am not criticizing you for the dedication, I can see why sone people would go this far. Sometimes it snowballs… you have X amount of time and money in it so far but you keep finding more areas that need attention.

    Power steering overrun - lack of flow or worn box?

    I agree with this. What also helps is to add an inline cooler like this: This one I mounted on the frame rail below the battery tray.
