If you look at 69 up rear backing plates, they have 2 tabs on either side of the wheel cylinder. My understanding is they are there to keep the pistons from popping out until the shoes and springs are installed.

66fs, Thanks very much. Now I understand how the ball could fall into the box, I'll follow your advice.

The residual pressure valve was designed to hold enuff pressure to keep the wheel cyl cup "lips" in contact with the cyl wall, to prevent fluid loss while not in use, - was what I was taught, and was in my Red Seal Manual. Look it up . Newer design wheel cyls came out with the spring, originally...

Should be able to make the dime-a-dozen factory Mopar 2 bbl. linkage work, once the throttle cable is located properly to the carb lever.

Yea I bought 2 of the Harbor Freight 4375 generators a few years back and homemade a long 14-gauge cable with a 4-gang outlet box to keep the refrigerator and freezer running and AC in 1 room of the house plus a few lights, only had to use it once (knock on wood). I like the redundancy of having...

Wish I had some new news but we got a new puppy! Between the new puppy (I am in Full time training mode), some home improvement projects and summer camping season (RV camping) I haven't really touched the car in months... "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Plus our RV season is extended through the end of October...

Yes OLD Torker Ive got two possibilities here now I want it for my 70 Dart I'm trying to maintain a stock body and stock pices All speed pieces from 67-75 , except Chinese air gap, Crane Fireball Cam Accel coil And as many pieces "stock" off any factory Mopar, upcoming is the 360 Thermoquad...

That is correct but you can make clearance for the shocks and close it up with no loss of strength IMO. I've been there: I ran a 4 speed on the track with some history. I twisted stock 8-3/4" axles, broke a 4.56 489 case setup (ring gear/posi failure), broke a 489 5.13 (ring gear failure)...

Nail biting time @Mopar Tim ?

Ok, I am a glutton for punishment. I know you’re supposed to set valve lash close to running temperature, its 120°F in my garage so I won’t. I will set it at ambient. I know you’re supposed to have a card for your cam, I don’t. As Schultz used to say I know nothing about this cam. Engine: 340...

Nothing wrong with brand loyalty at all. I guarantee, Mopar guys would rather see a 60 than a 9. I've got a 4.10 Dana in my rr, and an 8 3/4 dapco locker in my savoy. My nines are in an Opel, and an English Ford. But brand loyalty has nothing to do with those two.

I think what I'd do is look for an original or reprint parts book, then take those numbers and plug into Google and ebay. There are folks selling that sort of thing on there fairly regularly

Boy I don't know without part numbers or casting numbers, and I don't have any of my old books immediately available (fire cleanup) and some are just plain missing in action. But they are gasketed with a thick "rope" neoprene seal, and I would suspect chineseoization rather than...

If it was an unsolicited email, then it is 99.9% a scam

That makes no sense. They have ALWAYS had springs. I was taught that drums need residual, disk do not. There are sometimes exceptions, I was told depending on master cyl. location, IE older vehicles under the floor boards.

Mental Note: use your phone and video tape each room individually. If your house has an issue (knock on wood ya don’t) you have a video of all your stuff and condition for future reference.

Schmidt just lost the general automotive repair building, not the race shop. It's in a different building. Tom

Good evening, I have recently been discussing clutches with some very knowledgeable stick racers. My learnings as of recent are that clutch companies want to overclutch every car out there, hence dual disc clutches being sold in large numbers. I notice you have 440hp, and a 550 HP rated...

Update, I had the melonized gear from Hughes pressed onto a stock intermediate shaft at a local machine shop. They did not press a roll pin in it. He didn't think it should need it he said it needed over 1 ton of pressure to press it on. They did not have a roll pin from the factory. Just...

That’s one of the first things I’m looking for tomorrow.

Puckey in Phx :D :lol:

The spring in the wheel cylinder between the cups makes the residual valve in the Master cyl, redundant, not nec. So, if the wheel cyls have a spring, you don't need the residual valve in the m/c.

Yeah... The one where they take 250 pound dudes and send them on razorblades at 20 miles an hour to crush others against plywood and plexiglass???

Revoke drivers license

I was also thinking about Dave down there in SC, with the gold fury. What was his username

@Frodee Thoughts on these. Which is worse to deal with?

Brewers survive. Mets bullpen collapsed... Game 3 tomorrow. 20 year old rookie hits TWO BOMBS in his first playoff series. NICE.

But she did have horses. Lol
