I need manual trans suggestions for my hotrod 42 truck project. I was going to go 727 because I am more familiar with the Auto's mechanically speaking but the more I think about it a hot rod really should be a manual. The only manual trans I am familiar with is the one they used in the trucks...

Anyone know the dimension of an A-body 8 3/4 Housing without the axels in it? I have one sitting here that I wanted to sell to another FABO member but when he came over we got to measuring it and perch widths don't match any know dimension for any body style, 43.5 inches. And guessing how far...

I was looking at getting a IR 231C impact wrench because of its affordability and I have heard its a pretty good tool for what I would need. I was kinda thinking I didn't need a high torque one because on the rare occasion I would need one I would just go borrow my brother's like I normally do...

Ok I have a 74 Dart Sport that I have been trying to sell for well over a year now. I paid $2500 for it 10 years ago and have put $3500 in parts I have put into as it sits now. That is just counting the big ticket stuff I though worthy of saving receipts for. I know this economy sucks but is...

How do you know what RPM your timing should be all in at? Is that a standard RPM or is that effected rpm range of the motor or anything? When we are talking about all in that is mechanical only not with any vac? Also for example lets say I am all in at 32 at 2600rpm for a total. So if it rev...

I bought this Carter AFB carb off of Craiglist seems exactly the same as an Edelbroke that I owned years ago. Could someone refresh my memory here the 2 screws on the front of the carb, the one on the right is the primary adjustment and the left is the secondary?

I have a few basic questions so I can get this 318 together and done. 1. With Felpro gaskets are the head gaskets that come with, all teflon coated? Or do you have to order them that way or is there a way to tell if they are? 2. I remember years ago when I built my last couple of...

I have had this starting problem in the winter ever since I have built this engine. Here is what it does, lets say if the temperature is below 40 (I dunno if that is the exact temp but somewhere in that range), you can crank all day on the engine and it may pop a few times but never enough to...

Ok here is the situation I have. I have a 360 with a 904 with a MP 2500 stall where the external balancing was moved internal when I rebuilt both. I also have a 318 that has a manual 4 speed, I think its a NP435. Since the external balancing was knocked off the converter can I use that on the...

I dunno if any you guys listen to a podcast called ToolMonger but in some past episodes they talked about a console for a Yukon or something, that they fabricated out of fiberglass. After hearing them talk about it I am kinda interested in it for modifing my dash. Anyone here ever played...

The axel housing I have has been sitting around a long time on a duster and its been open to the elements for many years. It is caked with mud, rust, and cob webs. The inside doesn't look to bad considering it been sitting open for so long! What would be the best way to clean this up wire...

Hey guys long time no see. After a long stretch of not working on my car just driving it and enjoying it I am ready to move on with and start working on it again. Plus this 8 3/4 has been sitting on my bench for almost a year now and I am ready to get going on it. I was going to take it to...

I found a fiberglass hood with a HEMI scoop for sale for my 74 Dart Sport. At first I was thinking man thats going to look sweet but as I think about it more, how practical is this hood for a car I drive more than I race? Will that big scoop act like a big sail on the freeway? Am I going to...

Anyone know of a good Dodge Ram forum site?

If I have a dead battery how do I determine if the battery itself is bad or if its the alternator not charging it or some other problem? I am pretty sure its a charging problem. I have noticed lately that sometimes when I start it, that it barely has enough juice to start. Than the other day...

Does anyone know when this show is?

I was just wondering if any other FABO members where into RC racing? If so what do you have for trucks and what kind of tracks do you race on? I have a first generation Tmaxx and a T4 that I race on a dirt track.

I took my car to work today and on the way home about 1 block away from my house it dided on me. After about 30 minutes of dicking around I figured out my voltage resistor puked out on me. I know years ago when I first got into mopars an old timer I know told me I should allways carry an extra...

Is there away to tell with a multimetter if a battery is good? Mine has a setting for checking 1.5v and 9v batteries. When I check some batteries that i know should be bad it says they are putting out 1.4v still. I am assuming that batteries should put out close to their rated volts till dead...

When can I switch to synthetic oil? It has been a little over 2,000 miles since I rebuilt the motor and have changed the oil 2 or 3 times since than. Would it be ok for me to switch to synthetic now?

I just got a set of these Mikey Thompson MK-II for a real good price. What do you guys suggest for cleaning these things up? These things are very oxidized but are doable. I am not sure how well you can tell from my pics but I did use some simoniz chrome cleaner on a protion next to my foot...
