Yeah, strange, I thought the lug nuts were not tight. Popped the caps, re-torqued and went for a ride. No noise. Put the caps back on and the noise was back. Just a thought,what disc brakes you using? the 73 up Mopar sliding caliper,if the pads are not tight will squeek. You can bend the ears on...

Yes. Only once. More of a creek sound.Same as you I did the "What the heck?" Factory wheels and caps.Mostly heard at slow speeds. A touch of silicone on the nubs cured it. Never had any others do it.

I agree. You like what you like. Cragars like Torque Thrust are time less. Always been a fan of mix match of any aftermarket front and steelies rear. I like old school chrome or aluminum slots on the front. Not seen often anymore. Depending on back space,width, and tire size 18'' will fit. Just...

NoCar340 I see it changed on your 68. I looked at photos of when I had my 68 Valiant. Oh well, I tried.

mopowers, I believe it was the Precision. As usual prices have gone way up in 6 years. At $24 still beats the resto prices of over $100.But if you want any color than black,well.

I did a 64 Dart. Ordered from Rock Auto wind lace for a 88 Dodge Ram pickup. $13 a door. Worked great. Used the same wind lace when I did my 63 Belvedere 4 door.

Not a bad idea to flush the block and cooling system.

A 65 Coronet is a favorite. Good job finding a nice one !

I'll say !!! Love a notch. To coin a phrase "GET ER DONE " Great work :thumbsup:

That's the truth. The older I get the faster time goes by....

In the 70's I would drive from Pittsburgh to Denver with a 70 4 speed Duster. Ruffly 1400 miles. Pull the 3.91's out,install 2.94. Get to Denver and swap the 3.91's back in. 4 times a year. As a teen thought nothing of doing the swap.

Same in Arizona and Nevada. Speed limits are just a suggestion .Everybody is in a hurry.

Ran 2.76 in my 64 Slant Six. Never saw drive in the 1/4 mile. Went thru the lights in 2nd . Still had fun. I run 2.76 in my 63 Belvedere, 70 mph@ 2500 rpm.

Nice 68 ! Today I went for a 30 mile ride. Beautiful day !

Don't laugh. I call it "Spare Parts". It was the last project assembling a parts car using all my spares. 318/904 2.76 suregrip for road duty. A/C too ! Major fun machine.

Nice ! It is a good feeling getting thumbs up and honks because of our old cars.

Agree with that statement. The high cost of EVERYTHING is my excuse. Not just car stuff. I'm cheap and I know it. The older I get I just backed off of the car stuff. Still a 63 Valiant may get the sparks flying.

No truer words could be said.^^^^^^ Keystone Dragway was my home track when I lived in Pa. John's posts made me feel like I was back home.

At one time Fel-Pro had a part number for Police spec gaskets. Small block mid 80's. Aspen,Diplomat,Grand Fury cop cars. Bought some in the early 2000's. Maybe ?

I agree. I miss my 64. Fun car. But ya just can't keep 'um all. Move on to the next project.

I try to tell my wife that.Spend it before we are gone. I've had high end. Something about a raw beater is where I'm at now. Nice !

WOW ! Way better cars out there. The under carriage is plain nasty...

This may be a rumor so don't hold me to it. TTI makes the Clifford headers. They only make a run of them after Clifford meets the 25 minimum . I heard this years ago.

My drag car had a 4500 stall. For street used a 3500. Same as Charrlie_S. I had a special converter made. Hughes transmissions did a small pilot/big spline for me. Tho I never ran Edge,I understand several Slant racers are happy with their converters.

I met Jack at a SEMA show a year so so before he passed. He invited me down to his shop/warehouse when it was in So.Cal. What a cool guy, took time to show me around and helped me with what I needed. I was green about Slants and told him what I planed. He simply said build for torque,not RPM. I...

At one time J.C Whitney had it all ! I just looked,they are still in business.

The one you gave me 10-12 years ago is still running fine in my D350.

A member here (Haven't seen for many months) did that EPAS kit to a 68 Valiant. Apparently it works fine. A friend will be soon installing the same on his 50 Dodge with a small block.Not much under hood clearance. I need to do the same with my Belvedere. Cost will be about the same as a Borgeson...

Best of luck ! Have a great time. Wish I could be there.

Now your talking ! Not for me anymore. The problem is not getting down,it's trying to get back up again !!! I have a hard time doing ups....
