I have had trouble finding good heat temp sending units, even the brand new ones are bad at times. I usually test the sending units with a test light clamp on battery + positive and poke the send unit terminal. The test light should glow if working correctly. The more the engine warms up the...

I’m with you—I halfway figured I could swap to nicer shocks in a couple years, just knowing that was the item I skimped on.

Still using stock strut rods?

mannn... i'm on double secret probation from buying things and stuffs so i'm not even supposed to be looking at cars... PM incoming...

QA1 standard shocks

Indeed! I did the poly graphite bushings. No squeaks, nice and tight feel. On the wife’s ‘67 Cúda, I went with standard QA1 on all 4 corners. We like it. Bushings are rubber. Once there shot, I’ll do poly graphite. Simple but upgraded. Nothing fancy, just better.

I'd rather have good shocks with rubber and stock strut rods than cheap shocks on poly bushes. I had cheap Napa shocks on my car when I bought it and swapping them for a set of Viking double adjustables was a night and day difference.

Thanks. He does the videos from his Driod phone. I do have the W2 porting templates. He did the work first. We talked about it and it basically went like this. Charlie (C) You have a set of W2’s? I’ve never seen a set up close. Are you porting them? Who’s doing the work? I’d love to take a...

After typing it all out, I like the KISS option.

Keeping with your hotrodder’s guide to bliss hotrodding… KISS. Thanks for the input Rusty.

This engine is non-std & has a non-factory carb & headers, both visible in the pic. Does it have other mods? So factory settings can only be useful as a guide once engines are modified. Even absolutely stock engines can benefit from 'tweaking'. That is because the car maker, not knowing the end...

No I wasn't going there. I just wanted to know, because machine shops have dried up around here. I've talked to Scott's before. Sounds like good people. Are you familiar with Howell's in Cochran?

I have stumbled upon a 65 Valiant Convertible. Factory 273/904, white top and red interior. Not sure of original exterior color yet. It's been in a barn for a number of years and at some point somebody attempted to put patch panels on the passenger side quarter panel and both floor boards...

Stock suspension rebuild with GOOD QUALITY parts is all you will ever need.

All the way against "WHAT" stop?

50k? Major pipe dream. I didn't bother watching the video as I got better things to do. Car looks like it needs a paint job too

Car runs and drives, but suspension and front brakes are really tired. It definitely needs to get done. Purpose of the car use is street and backroads driving. I would like to do it right, and not have to tear the car apart in 6 months. @migsBIG thread about affordable shocks made me think it’d...

Was that clear coat they sprayed the engine and whole engine bay with?

I heartily agree

The lever that needs to 'push back all the way' is the lever on the trans, not the linkage on the carb. Which one are you checking?

Post #37. No keep those old lifters & have them re-faced. They will be better than any of the crap you can buy today......

I think everybody missed the 'stock' bit. Edel 500 AFB #1404

That sucks! How did they get up there? Up along the A pillar?

Sadly, Tim wasn’t the only one broken. Passed a bunch of broken power tour cars on the way there and back.

Interesting. He mentioned messing with the SRV on the 6.4 intake, but I don't find any documentation that says the Holley Dominator can control it. Terminator and Terminator X has a sub harness for SRV and VVT, but nothing for the Dominator that I find. Reading the comments, they say they...
