Thanks Mike. Sometimes it is hard to know a value when a car or part isn't exactly like others that have been listed before. Those that do try to operate within the rules can sometimes find themselves in a tough spot when they want to sell but don't want to look greedy for asking too much or...

The 518 bolts up to the 273-318-340-360 but the overdrive part of the transmission is larger in diameter than the transmission tunnel in the cars. ALL 500 and 518s were in trucks and vans where clearance wasn't a problem. Hey....If you can cut and weld, it isn't that hard to do.

I know that my car was quicker with the automatic but I like driving it more since I converted it to a Tremec 5 speed. Fuel economy isn't my main goal but reduced noise on the freeway, 80 mph at 2300 rpms and better fuel economy are great things to have. The TKO that I have isn't as smooth...

Welcome back. Carburetors have worked for over 120 years but some people think the wheel needed to be reinvented. It didn't. Carburetors can be tuned to run great and make plenty of power. OEM fuel injection is great but they had millions of dollars to work out the problems. Small companies...

The front of new trucks look horrible. Way too huge, way too tall. Nice ***. The trucks are gigantic nowadays. Why do they have to be so big? Pretty face. Park a 1978 Little Red next to a 2024 Ram 1500 if you need to get a visual on what I mean.

I have no experience with the 318s and 360s once they were fitted with roller cams and lifters. I have even less experience with the Magnum series engines. A friend may be willing to part with an '89 360 that had a roller cam but he swapped in a hydraulic flat tappet setup in it. I'd like to use...

Well, you’re not stupid. You are overweight. I am too. I’m 5’10” and 210. Both of us should be around 170-180 to be in proper shape.

Look at the last one. That is a fast ratio. The other three are standard.

Thanks. I have a 67 Dart that sits awhile too. I usually do get to start it before the battery charge gets too low. This Duster was on its way to becoming a cool car. Then it sat. I’m slowly getting to it. These wheels sure look better than skinny black steel 15” stock ones. I need to...

The tank was new about 10 years ago. The fuel coming up to the filter is sort of amber in color. I don't know if that is from the fuel stabilizer or old skanky gas. I put 3 gallons in it last week or so. I make it a habit to put stabilizer in the tank when I put in fresh gas because I don't know...

OP has me on IGNORE so maybe someone can relay the following.... I've dealt with this numerous times with my Charger. For years I dealt with months of reliable starting and the occasional crank-crank-crank with no spark. I took the bulkhead plugs off, cleaned them, packed them with dielectric...

People like to refer to OEM type radiators as copper. I'm guilty of that too. They are far more brass than copper...

Well, THAT is an unusual build...

One great thing about Road Race inspired cars is that they are still quite fun on the street. Great handling and beefy brakes make for a fun street car.

I've read that several times. I know guys that race Mopars in road race, endurance events and drag races. They don't drive Mopars because they are dominant, they do it because they have street cars that look like the race cars and they like that.

I agree with that. I would love to win, but I draw the line at what I'd be willing to drive to be the first across the line. I love the Mopars and do like Chevys too. I sure wouldn't want to drive a car that I otherwise wouldn't own. What if a Saab or a Peugeot were more competitive? Those...

The rear axle bearings don't. They require clearance yet they are tapered.

Competitive? What if the guy just wants to have fun and loves these cars? That is how I am. I want to do some stuff like this eventually. I would use an A body though just because while I'd prefer a B body, the replacement cost of a 68-70 B body car is outrageous. A 73-76 A body roller can be...

Oh, I've replaced a few U-joints too but never seen their full life cycle from installing, years of use, then failure.

Well, I agree with that for the most part, I didn't elaborate fully. I spin the rotor forward and backward as I tighten the nut but still back off to the next notch. I have never worn out a set of bearings. I've replaced them that were gunked or worn out before I got the car but I've never...

Wow, that is a beautiful car.

I asked this question at FBBO before. Nobody responded to say that they torqued them. All the respondents did the same as I do....we snug down the bearing nut, back it off to the next notch in the thin sheet metal cover and slide the cotter pin in. Can you imagine though torquing them to 90 Ft...

OSHA can eat my rump. Those pencil pushers are assclowns to the 3rd degree. Although....Eye protection and shoes would be a good idea. Where are all the blonde and red haired people in that video?

Everyone that is anyone loves nachos. You'd have to be a vegan or an idiot to not love nachos.

That was a surprise to me when I learned that and it pissed me off. I always weigh my cars with a FULL tank of gas because that is consistent. Over the years, I've used a few different places to weigh my cars, the most recent being a moving and storage facility. I'm not chasing the lowest weight...

I used to know a guy that lived in this: One year, the wife and I drove to a car show, this guy drove his car. We stopped for gas and I noticed grease dripping from the wheel center caps. It turns out this guy TORQUED his wheel bearings to ft lbs, not inch lbs. Yeah, the bearings were cranked...

There are critics everywhere and on the internet, people sure like to pile on. Fram filters. Graveyard Cars. Magnum Force suspension. KYB shocks. Harbor Freight tools. Uncle Tony's Garage. Pennzoil oil. I've seen the videos posted where oil filters are cut apart and inspected. I've also ran...

Where did you learn math? You are way off.
