I agree just measure the inside of the drum. It could also have a casting size on it that states max size for truing. If it starts with "9. something it's a 9" and it it starts with "10. something it's a 10" . Good luck you can do it
i love how you have some arbitrary question for me to "prove" my bonafides. also, i never claimed to be an expert, although i am forklift certified and i've played an expert witness on television and in the courtroom.
anyway, i'll play along with your little charade. are you talking about the...
I have the opportunity for a street car to use either a late roller cam 360 (not a magnum) or an earlier 360 with hydraulic lifters and cam. Is there an advantage to one or the other? I’ve heard it said that the factory roller motor was not much of an improvement. True? Are there other...
Those appear to be the mechanical linkage carbs offered through DC and other sources- driver's side fuel inlets and no vacuum pods, unlike OEMs. From what I understand, basically Bowtie Tripower carbs. Your center carb may need the Holley/Mopar linkage adapter depending where the carbs were...
you asked the other day for us to prove ourselves. We did with pics of cars, parts etc.
You can't even show us a set of spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap, carb, oil filters. A car guy has parts. Something spare. Show anything or ya not real.
My mother is the original owner of the car, so I amazingly do actually know that the drums were never upgraded. But yeah, I guess I should measure them.
Yeah, I put the wheels back on so I could put the car back in the garage overnight. I don't know why I didn't think to measure them before...
So you are going to braze up a unibody car?
If so, don’t touch the rails and get a lot of practice with your bonding skills.
A cheap mig is going to pay for itself if you go in as deep as you are talking about and you will have it for your next project.
Man, progress has been so slow. Partly because I spend way too much time overthinking things, partly because it is cold out and partly because the holidays took a bunch of time.
But I am close to finally cutting some sheetmetal for the trans/bell. So maybe some real progress soon, hopefully...
You say you are ase certified. OK, which car manufacturer designed one of their engines to burn oil, what was the reason for doing so, what size was the engine and what body style did it come in and remember no cheating by looking it up because you claim to be a expert in cars
@OneOfMany : You're right.
In addition to the typical Chrysler stamp locations, due to European mandatory regulations the VIN is present in 2 other locations.
On the passenger side inner fender. Same font, but bigger and a little bit clumsy
Probably punched by the Chrysler International agent...
Dan, drive to Topeka some time. I'll teach you how to weld. It won't take long. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Nobody taught me. I just watched the DVD that came with my first welder and jumped in. I'm serious. PM me. I'll even throw in lunch!
The Eastwood is on sale for $149 and then you can get an extra !0% off with code , YETI , but then they want to stick me with $18 shipping.
I am thinking no more than I would use it I'll wait for a Harbor Freight sale. Then if it breaks down it will be an easy replacement.

I was wrong once too. It doesn't really matter, because if I ever won the lottery, I'd have my 69 Barracuda fastback COMPLETELY restified. I'd probably drop $300K on it, and I'd drive it. I'd be upside down to the tune of about $200K, but I wouldn't care. I'd have the most badass 69 Barracuda on...
