I'll check them out, thanks guys

I am looking to chrome the front bumper of my 67 chrysler newport custom 2 dr. and live in southeast ohio. Any recommendations on good chrome shops that don't charge an arm and a leg and will stand by their work? Any horror stories to stay away from? I have talked to US Chrome in Dayton and...

I don't really need a tailgate but thanks for the offer. The truck is in really great shape, one of the best I've seen of this year. Also, I am not sure about that np435 transmission, I was just going to put a good old earlier 833 4 speed in it with the close ratio gearbox. Here is a couple...

Would you be interested in selling the 4 speed stuff only? I don't want to buy a whole truck, I have no use for anything else since mine is in such great shape

D5667 are you wanting to part them, or just sell the whole truck, or neither? Thanks

Guys, I know it's not an A body, but I have a beautiful 85 Ram with only 56,000 miles on it, 318, 2WD that I would like to convert from an automatic to a 4 speed. However, it is hard to find parts for these trucks. Does anybody have a manual parts truck, or know somebody who does? I would...

Take the booster venturies out of the primaries and clean them.......I have had very similar problems with almost new carbs that have set for a while, and have been plugged by dirt and such in the air bleeds, and different places. Clean the carb, and it runs good as new. If there is any dirt...

Ok, I had some time to play with the car friday night and here's what I found. First, I took the breather out and stole the oil fill cap off my challenger and put it in the valve cover instead. Then, I made sure the other valve cover fill cap was tight, and the pcv was as snug as it could be...

Yeah and that is very possible. The only reason I was thinking about it coming out of the breather is that it has only been on the right side of the windshield so far, not the left, and not on the firewall at all that I can tell. I just was thinking that with the 4" stroke crank and no windage...

Will check the oil pressure sender again but I didn't see any oil on the distributor clamp or there. The oil pan gasket is a milidon "tear free" gasket I believe, and it doesn't appear to be leaking on the rails or the front, I put it up on the lift and let it run for a while, the only leaking...

I've got a 75 duster with a stroked 416 that has only 100 miles on it. I assembled it myself, and the engine has edelbrock heads, ported, air gap intake, hydraulic roller cam .550/.570 lift, 236 @ .050 duration, 10.3 compression. I have a Vato Zone el cheapo chrome breather on one valve cover...

I put the Megashifter in my duster, the truck version, because it is slightly taller than the other. Mine is a 75 duster, original column shift car w/bench seat, and all I did was drilled four small holes for the plate mounting bolts, which I believe were pretty small, maybe 5/16, it's been a...

Ok guys, after a few weeks in limbo, I have finally heard back from the machine shop. They have disassembled and checked the shortblock out. The first thing he says is "We didn't find anything terribly wrong, but your bearings don't look too good". So I say "So what was the noise I was...

Ok guys, sorry I haven't updated you, but with the holidays and work travel I've been busy the last month. I pulled the engine out and stripped it down to the shortblock. After pulling the heads I immediately saw what I thought was the problem. On the number one cylinder, there is definite...

Yes, I have called them to let them know the results of the leakdown test, and told them that I didn't want to take the heads off until I talked to them, in which they agreed to take the heads off and then we'd go from there. Now, if it does turn out to be their faults, which I really can't see...

Yes, I should have been more clear, my intention only is to remove the heads and oil pan and return the entire shortblock assembled to them, since this is what they assembled for me.

Ok guys, I have an update on the engine situation for those of you who are interested. After letting it sit for a couple months and building up the interest to work on it again, I took the hood off and did a leakdown test on the engine, before I pull it out, to get an idea of what I'm looking...

Hellion, they built the heads, did all the port work and re assembled the new eddys, I bolted them on. I would love to drive it over there, but it's almost an hour drive one way, and the way the engine sounds, I hate to drive it that far and have something catastrophic happen, then I may be...

No synthetic for the breakin, just 30w pennzoil, which is what the dyno guy prefers for ring seating. Also, I checked the TC bolts and they weren't backed out or anything, and the flexplate doesn't appear to be cracked or anything from what I can tell, plus its an SFI approved unit

Thanks for the replies guys you are making me feel a little better. As far as the oil and noise, the oil I have used has always been 10W 30 Valvoline VR-1 Racing Oil. I have eliminated all the possibilities I can think of with the knocking/rapping noise. Pulled the dipstick while it was...

Thanks for the replies guys, It makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only one who thinks they are at least partly responsible for this fiasco. The unfortunate thing is how do you know who to trust in the future. I mean these guys are VERY highly respected and do millions of dollars a...

Ok guys, I need to vent and am pretty pissy right now, so I would like your level headed responses to help guide me. I want all kinds of feedback, from machinists to average enthusiasts. In order to protect other parties, I will not disclose the shop that did the work, or their location. Ok...

Yes I agree with you, 41 ohms is wrong. What the autometer tech was saying is that the new repo sending units that you can buy now, most of them are a linear resistance, which figures out to be around 41 ohms at half tank. This is why I believe that some people are having issues with their...

I don't know if this helps, but I am having the same problem. I have an autometer fuel gauge, 73-10 ohm range like the factory, with a replacement sending unit that is also 73-10 ohms. However, mine shows full when full, then sharply goes to empty, with about half a tank left, like yours...

I vote male. I've had two of each, currently 1 male and 1 female, and in my experience the females seem to be more independent and do what they want, when they want. It's not a huge deal, just a preference of mine. Scamp360, in response to your question about american bulldogs, my male is...

Battery is a year old, shows 12.6 volts after sitting all week. Also have a brand new starter relay

Hey guys, 75 duster with a 416 stroker and new mini starter from 440 source. The car has 1300 miles since new engine and starter, and the starter started randomly clicking at times (pulled it out and contacts were bad). The starter/alternator "Guru" in our area said this could have been caused...

Guys, if you're within an hour or two of Marietta, OH, just off I-77 in southeast ohio, the sternwheel festival is this weekend. With it is the annual car show, sunday the 13th of september. It is a very nice event right on the ohio river, and with the good weather this year, is expecting 400...

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I sold my '70 complete carb to pan 340 for $400, with about 5000 miles on the rebuild. All it needed was #8 cylinder sleeved, the guy who built it forgot to put a spiral lock in the wrist pin and it chewed up the cylinder wall. So, when I built my...

also, we're meeting at 8 am instead of 10 am saturday morning
