Butane pencil torch (more precise/less likely to damage), freezer a half hour, clamp base lightly in wood with one shaft accessible and vertical, heat only the base bosses/tubes where the shaft passes through, keep torch moving around to spread heat instead of melting base, alternate heat with...

Where are you getting the jibberish vin from? The only vin on the car would be on the dash and anything else would be the SO numbers

would you say they were a cork soaker? i'll see myself out...

With an 8.25" rear and the stock spring locations if you go for 275's a 15x8 with a 4" backspace usually works better, the 4.5" backspace is typically for an 8 3/4 with BBP axles and the 8.25 is narrower. Now, with the springs offset a 1/2" the 4.5" backspace will be no problem for you.

Not the one but one like it, '64 Simca 1000.

Yep, I 100% agree. A mig welder is necessary. I use my Tig and mig constantly on this car.

you should be good, the limiting factor is generally to the outside ie the fender lip which you don't need to worry about as much with the wheel opening on the dart sport.

*yawn

January is coming. Everything melting now hang on to your shorts, got a bad feeling, hopefully I’m wrong but lived here to many years. -40 is coming with a vengeance. Ya I know looking up a dead horse but grey whiskers. Stay warm guy’s

Thanks!

Thanks! Believe it or not, a fully dressed LQ9 iron block weighs about as much as the stock slant six, give or take 15-30 pounds. I think the bouncing at the end was from when I let off the gas and the body stopped twisting from the torque.

i'd go for the roller over the flat tappet motor if the two were in similar condition. keep in mind that you'd need to sort out fuel pump-- if it doesn't have a long snout cam, and if you want any sort of a decent cam probably send out yours for a regrind and then get new pushrods.

source? that's typically called a "single rotor design". i don't work on a lot of modern stuff, but a lot of it (if it uses a distributor) is like that. a lot of tractors are like that too-- the distributor is driven off cam and has two different sized lugs on it so you can't get it 180 out...

I have used LEDs from Superbrite in a couple of my Darts now and they are much easier on my old eyes at night. They come in different flavors. Replacing these bulbs and getting polarized bulbs in the right way on your back on the floor of the car operating by feel is not something I would...

What lightbulbs and the source did you purchase?

What engine could the distributor be only installed one way? Your ase certificate so you should know this one.

Look it up, I did and it was a option. And yes oil was squirted on the piston for cooling purposes.

36 grit on a DA Sander strips paint well, then follow up with 80 grit for final surface prep. ☆☆☆☆☆

I think he means P-line. I have nothing but the highest praise for Legendary. I had a seam split on the bench seat covers that they made for me. They had been on the car for 3 years. I sent them pictures and they had me strip the failed bottom and send it to them. They replaced the failed...

give yourself half a gold star. now take it away because you were wrong about the other facts, ya ding-dong. oh, like how you fibbed the other day about the big block road runner? and how you gave that guy tuning advice and it supposedly ran better than it ever did, yet... you never saw the...

That's why The R2 had a super charger, I double check it out

adjusters - no, but the springs have been under tension for 14 years and fatigue over time. I would particularly replace the front hoses, I presume that you are using old style brake fluid. Hoses can look fine and delaminate inside the hose and cause all sorts of grief. If you are going to...

...super charged motor. sure, they made singles (R2 & R3) but the dual (R4) had no forced induction. i'll wait why you send in your quora request.... *drums fingers*... anyway... burn oil would indicate combustion of oil in the cylinder not "use oil squirters to cool the piston" you dunce...

The stock roller cam engines perform well when you add a 4 bbl carburetor to them, giving them the fuel they need. They run great overall, and you will never float the valves with roller valve train and factory springs. Great idle, and good sounding exhaust tone. Secondaries on the 4 bbl are a...

Been outta school now for years. I can't believe that I knew something about a car that you didn't know. I'm not trying to sound like a smart a** I'm tired of being told that I don't know anything. I appreciate what I have learned from you guys but it gets old quick when I say something that...

I was just checking the repair receipts and the rear shoes and drums were replaced 4000 miles ago (that was 2011). If I replace the shoes 1) should I do all the other hardware, like springs, adjuster, etc.? 2) Do I need to turn the drums after so little miles? At the times, in 2011, everything...

As of now I only own late model vehicles and I don't keep extra parts on hand for them.

I was a osha certified forklift, clamp truck and pole truck driver for many years. Tuna melt sounds good

Studebaker Avanti with the 304 with a Paxton supercharger and dual Carter 4 barrels, there was a small oil port in the bore on the camshaft side that would shoot oil on the piston in order to help cool the piston from the heat from the supercharger. The Avanti also had a fiberglass body.

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
