if your going to the effort why not try and find a rhd car from brazil? lots of them and used for a long long time. like from 67 to sometime in the 80's then you'd have all the parts and wouldn't have to fab anything. Best is it would be a relatively cheap car to buy but downside would be shipping.

middle of winter I was changing the oil on my 84 ramcharger. Forgot to check the old filter for the gasket that was stuck to the engine block and threw the new filter on with made a big opening for all the oil to pump out in literally seconds all over the snow covered driveway. So I had to buy...

5x115 is actually 5x4.527 5.114.3 is 5x4.5

Hey Mad Dart, I was kinda trolling through your topic as I want to do the same thing you did here to my 68. Anyways I was thinking why not run a driveshaft run alternator? depending on what you intend doing with your car this might be a good option to deal with the clearence issues with your...

Actually what happened was. Nascar was getting lots of complaints from ford and gm about how the hemi was kicking butt so they banned the hemi. The next season richard petty ran a barracuda in drag racing and didn't circle track he nicknamed his car "outlawed" to coincide with the banning of the...

wow that is such a beauty man. I'm really glad to hear nothing worse happened.

You sound like a stuck up ahole. go away.

man I tell ya it's ridiculous the way people drive. really glad your ok and I hope you don't give up riding because of this. I started riding last year and man I have to say it's probably one of the best experiences you can have. stretched out in the wind is the way to be. But I do have to say...

people arn't being taught the old addage, "if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all"

I ran 15w40 when my ramcharger's 318 was worn right out. when cold I got 20-25, when warm I would get 6, sitting in traffic it dipped to 0, couple weeks later I changed the motor with my dad. IMO anything higher then a 10w30 is for either a racecar, diesel, or piece of heavy equipment. If...

Ihave no issues with big wheels on old cars, I plan on big wheels on my abody. What it comes down to to me is it's ether the correct bolt pattern or it isn't end of story in my mind.

Like I said I bolted a set of neon wheels to my darts sbp and noticed just moving it around the garage a few times and flat towing it for 10k once that there where alot of filings from the wheel nuts. imo wouldn't even try them.

No it's not. This is a common error. The original bolt pattern on our cars is 5x4.5 like you said the new pattern is 5x115mm. enough imo to cause error. It's like the neon wheels I bolted onto my 68 to roll it around on the stock 5x4"axle it's close but the short amount it's rolled has...

But thats how I get my summer pretan.

My only thought is were can I get one? That would be pretty sweet.

thanks for the thread contribution.

which is funny because all through highschool I was told that the older guys who have done it for years would be retiring soon and there would be lots of work.

Edwards got a talking to and has a 3 race probation. Should make for an interesting weekend it being bristol this weekend and all lol

lol yeah and outsourcing is the best thing for companies. few years ago I heard of some outsourcing an oil company did to japan I think it was for some oil field pumpjacks, problem with that was a critical part of the pumpjack were some steel ibeams but they couldn't get them or where to...

Isn't it nice to have a job thats dependent on the price of oil? Sure glad I became a machinist some days. There are literally no jobs in my hometown for machinsts who arn't working. Every company seems to have to many machinist right now for how much work they have. Just got a job...

Wow aren't you the most pleasent little idiot in the land. There's many derogatory comments I could make about your country of origin.

So let me ask, Do you have actual proof that the drivers are illiterate? Or do you like making factless statements? Ryan Newman iirc is an engineer. Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt, etc are business owners. and not just business owners heavily involved in their business'. Back on topic please.

the "adaptor" as far as I know is the same on all smallblocks. run out to a local wrecking yard pull the filter and use a 3/8th's drive to pull the threaded part that holds the filter. Todd them in our pocket and go find some other stuff.

that was the other good one. I believe it's Wix that builds Napa filters and Baldwin builds Purolators, and Fleetguard(cummins). Baldwin is also a leading filter in manufacturing, I'm a machinist and the majority of machinery in my trade has a baldwin filter on the hydraulic system. Personally I...

for simple fluids like that I love walmart. Walk in, walk to the shelf, grab the fluid I need, pay, leave, only human interaction now is with the express checkout lady who doesn't even speak english. hardest part of dealing with walmart is when my debit card doesn't read in the scanner. And...

I like keslowski but he doesn't have alot of respect for the rest of the guys. He drives really hard and I know hamlin had enough last year but I guess edwards decided to take it out on him. Now it's not that I believe thats justification I think edwards needs to sit at home. Edwards lost his...

Can't really answer that question. Mine is being build for a street/roadcourse car.

frams run a paper filter, which breaks down quickly. k&n ain't much better then fram. The best is Napa gold/WIX(they come from the same plant)

the common issue with the shorter height is road paving with the city not checking the height. I've heard of it happening before in my city. Biggest problem with it that I see is that the city claims no responsibility even when their signs are wrong and win almost all the time if they ever loose.
