I took the cover off of my A833 because it wouldn't shift. I found a broken shift fork. But aren't there also supposed to be detent balls between the shift lever cams and the pin cylinder? I couldn't find them anywhere. Could these missing parts have been behind difficult shifting that...
Yes - the newer bulbs are too short and don't press in tightly enough. I wonder if the solution is to find a new but different part number bulb that is longer.
I don't know about replacing the housing because I was converting from a 70 grille so I didn't have the original Sharktooth sockets...
For my Sharktooth grille, I went with Dorman 85822 sockets recommended in a previous post on this forum. They aren't a perfect solution - the bulbs ride loosely in the socket - but I've managed to get them to work. If nothing else, they're a cheap solution...
I did this two years ago and I recall having the same problem. The screw has to be backed out of the plastic fitting which is probably stripped. You need to find away to secure the fitting so it doesn't spin so you can turn the screw out. Then you just pull the fitting though the hole in the...
I have a couple of Fel-Pro head gasket sets, one of which is a 1008. Both of them are missing several holes that both my block and head have them. I have a 1970 340 with X-heads. The image below shows a couple of missing holes in red, and one hole in yellow that is a lot smaller than the...
My 340 overheated and one of the heads warped. The machine shop says its because whoever put the engine together the last time didn't use lock washers on the head bolts. They said they could tell because the bolts dug groves into the head. Does this make sense? The ARP replacement bolts I...
I'll spend only 4 to 5 days in the hospital. I should feel relatively little pain. I'll be out of work about 6 weeks. All in all, I'm pretty lucky that my doctors caught this so I can have this while my heart is still strong. I will be fine.
Last week my wife's post-chemo CT-SCAN revealed she is completely cancer free. Thank you for to all your prayers!
Yesterday, we became grandparents. A beautiful 9-lb boy. They named him after me.
The week after next I go in for open heart surgery. I'm not too crazy about signing up for...
Dead on. White smoke, moisture out the exhaust, fluid leaking out above one of the freeze plugs, fluid level down in the radiator, oil looks like a chocolate milk shake, plugs covered in slime, engine missing really badly. Time to take her apart.
