Bump

I lost my enthusiasm in the last few years as well. I spend all day doing machine work and engine building for others, and literally never touch my stuff anymore. Almost all my cars, engines and parts have been/or are for sale, but no one else seems interested in them either. Rebuilding a 69...

Line up the reluctor with one of the pickups, is the other pickup offset slightly from the reluctor. Probably a retard deal for high gear

All my early years I only replaced one for a customer.

Back in 2011 I was driving the 340 Duster with the windows down when all of the threads holding the headliner turned to dust and I had to drive home with one hand on the steering wheel (no power steering) and the other trying to keep enough of the headliner out of my face in order to drive. My...

I hear all these enclosed heavy trailer horror stories and am thankful I have an open trailer I am super happy with. Car and golf car on it, and never blown even a single tire on the few I have had in the last 25-30 years. Knock on wood

Speedmaster makes a cast iron Magnum stock replacement head. Speedmaster makes an aluminum LA head that is basically a copy of the Edelbrock Performer RPM LA head. EQ (Engine Quest) makes a cast iron Magnum stock replacement head. Most likely EQ and Speedmaster are getting their cast iron...

Drove my Dart to the Woodward Cruise and that was it. Need to work on the other cars but the cash is very low. Yea and getting slower in my old age. I tried to do a job to help make life easier for myself but it all turned to **** and only managed to hurt myself more. Ya and the **** parts! And...

20 years ago my son and would thrash on these day in and out . retired moved south, sold car , life changing events and eventually lost interest.

I shall interject. I have multiple hobbies, and my interest in them is ever shifting. I might go several months or years without touching a hobby, but I often circle back to it eventually. The Duster took me 3 years to build and perfect, and I circled off it several times for my other...

If there is a will there is a way. I installed US Indy wheels 15 X 8.5 on the front of my B300 72' dodge van, 35 years ago, but I had to grind a little off the caliber for clearance. The van came with 16 inch wheels. I needed a fatter tire for my installed 340. Rears were 10", but that was no...

I agree 1000% I did a very simple 400/470. Eagle crank, Manley 6.760 rod, Diamond piston, 10.2:1, box stock Eddy head w/springs for a Comp street solid roller, Eddy RPM intake, 800 Holley. Runs great, idles nicely at 850 rpm, pulls hard through the middle. On a chassis dyno it made 500 ft lbs...

Ordered the good tools… Ordered some tube, the rear SS line that goes from the hard line to the rear T- adapter… hopefully everything needed to do the rear brake lines. Pain in the butt but it’s ok. Probably won’t get to it for 2 weeks since I’m going to South Carolina next week.

Broke cam in on new 340 build, changed oil and filter. Waiting to reach 500 miles then will change again. But i always use Shell Rotella 15/40 and Lucas ZDDP  All the time.

Maybe @GTX JOHN can shed some light

Good for you! A legit 11 sec ride. I'm sure it feels great after going through all your challenges. :thumbsup:

I was sure that the speedmaster heads were the aluminum LA heads. I didn’t realize that speedmaster was the corp that made the new iron magnum castings. Not sure if I am confused…

That’s exactly what I’m finding. They actually want more than retail. LOL. I guess Mancini it is.

I'm thinking old car, old motor sitting awhile, spring in lower hose rotted and jamb in pump. Happen to me once. I knew the pump was the issue, so when I took the pump out, there was the spring, stuck in the prop. Crazier things have happened. This is my thought.

That was a game changer for me too John…. Dumped the E rated tires for some Greenball Towmaster G rated tires. Only caviet is that I’m quite sure my wheels are not rated for them. Usually leave the house with them at 90psi. I wouldn’t buy a trailer that didn’t have 16” wheels. I also take...

@halifaxhops may know something on this ! He's the Dizzy Guru ! :poke:

Sorry to read Rick, I hear ya with losing ambition. I love driving the cuda but it always seems like any work I do on it takes 10 times longer and my frustration is 10 times shorter. That is a really cool ride!

Broke more than a few.

When you are working on your car it's good to have a barfly around. I hate walking to the frig when I am in a working mode.

I run aluminum spacers on my W2

It's the diameter of the housing, give or take a bit. A couple of pictures from Harmon's website for clarification: 6 1/4: 7 1/2:
