    Changing crankshaft bearings with the engine in the car.

    i was just goofin' about the lift. i have one too, and while it's sooo much nicer to work standing up, it seems like i've always got a car on it and one underneath torn apart and unmoveable and two parked up land locking evertything. which, now as i type that out sounds more of a "me" problem...

    Putting up a shop in CA - fire department being a pain

    ...same with the fire code stuff, somebody mentioned upthread: go directly to the source and see what their requirements and and get that in writing. and i cannot stress this enough: get.it.in.writing. signed and dated, on official letterhead. paperwork is *king* when dealing with wannabe tyrants.

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    I know, i know, but it's the thinkin' that always gets me in the end. Last night I retrieved the original 596 heads (I mistakenly said 587s before, I was wrong) from this motor. Measuring one of them, I've got 64, 65, 65.5, and 67cc, end to end. Looks like the head's not flat. But I think it'll...

    Hello Fellas. Long time lurker. Long time owner of a 1974 Dart Sport (Pictured below) Alittle about me. I grew up with my father who forged me into a Mopar or Nocar guy. Father purchased this car 25 years ago and had some fun in it until I was able to buy a house with a garage where it...

    how to tell if the distributor drive gear is installed correctly?

    Actually, according to the service manual, the slot in the intermediate shaft should point to front most intake manifold bolt on the driver's side and the rotor should point basically straight to the front, when at TDC for #1. I always install that way, because it allows for the most movement of...

    how to tell if the distributor drive gear is installed correctly?

    Make 100% certain #1 is on TDC compression. Sure sounds like you are on #6.

    PTFE For Fuel Line - Conductive vs Non-conductive

    I have not read everything in this thread, but I'm gonna assume (you know what happens then) that the difference is whether cloth wrapped ptfe, or stainless wrapped. I had several leaks through the walls of old rubber braided line, so I've used teflon exclusively each time a leaker is replaced...

    Changing crankshaft bearings with the engine in the car.

    I bought the lift in 2015. I built the shop in 2006 with the intention of installing a car lift. I am still fully capable of "flat back" work but this is so much better. I lose perspective of what is the left and what is the right when I'm laying down. Standing while working is a lot easier.

    how to tell if the distributor drive gear is installed correctly?

    If #1 cylinder is on the compression stroke the rotor should be pointing at the #1 cylinder. As you stated, front left. 65

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    It's not so much the budget, it's the fact that I hate breaking in a cam. I hate the thought, even, of breaking in a cam. So much that my next motor (if I have need for one) will be the '89 roller 360 under the bench. I know that makes me stubborn, even maybe coming across as argumentative (or...

    We were there, my brother had the fastest Challenger 1320 in the class. He went a couple of rounds. He's still learning how to drive the finish line. We got there Thursday morning and left Monday morning. We had a blast!!!

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    If it’s in the budget I’d opt for a cam that’s a closer match for the mild gears and converter. Something more like a 268 cam.
