    Since my speedo was out on my '70 Swinger, I put a new speedo drive in her A833.

    Brake size question

    So Im looking around for wheel bearings for my Swinger, and Im seeing in the application descriptions for 9", 10" or 11" brakes. Am I correct to assume that by 11", they means disc, for there were no 11" drum brakes(as far as I know :) )

    Asking for Opinions

    I also always thought that the factory Swinger gas cap looks ugly and cheap, like its from a bargain parts store. But Ive always loved the flip top gas cap found on Cudas and Chargers, so when I saw this thread Here I jumped at the chance to put one on my 70 Swinger, bought one, and bought a...

    Brake Pedal Height

    I didnt want to hijack this thread HERE so I started my own. I also have a very low brake pedal which I do not like at all. In the other thread, a member mentions getting a (edit) longer under-dash pushrod, which makes a lot of sense, has anyone had any experience with an adjustable one like...

    Two Light Questions

    First question is, included in the LED cluster bulb kit for my 70 rally dash was a glovebox bulb, but it doesnt seem to want to work when I plug it in, a standard bulb works just fine, but no matter which way I put this LED bulb in, it just wont work. Could it just be a bad bulb, or am I...

    Low voltage at gauge, no charge?

    Fired up the (until now running beautiful)70 swinger today, 340, MSD ignition, and right away noticed that my Autometer voltmeter wasnt showing around 14 anymore, but a hair over 12 without fluctuation. Took it for a quick drive around the block and no change, half a block away from home, I...

    Battery ground to aluminum head?

    From what Ive read, the general consensus is that aluminum is usually not a good metal to ground to, so what are some thoughts on my main battery ground wire being grounded to my Edelbrock aluminum head? Should I relocate it?

    1970 Swinger with 150 mph speedo in a 71+ dash(round radio knobs). Is this the proper amount of thread that the odometer reset should have? Wondering because it wont poke through the hole in the dash bezel to screw the knob on, and it doesnt look broken; I have a second speedo that has the...

    Rally Dash Fuel Gauge Pointer Question

    Was just modifying my fuel gauge IVR when I noticed that the indicator arm seems to be pointing up higher than I would think it should, and since the one I am replacing doesnt have an arm, I have nothing to compare it to. Is this normal for the indicator to be angled like this, or do I have the...

The shop has almost...
