"Not Legal For Street Use" , is emblazened across the labels as ZDDP , after absolutely YEARS , ruins catalytic converters . I've got a BETTER Idea : get rid of catalytic converters ! Such an archaic piece of emissions equipment ...

Look for oil with an SL and earlier rating (but not as far-back as SB ! ha ha ha ) , or SM so long as it's got ZDDP in it . I use Valvoline 4-Stroke motorcycle Oli as it's got ZDDP in it already ; alternately , "Racing" oils are acceptable ( Valvoline , again , but mostly all you'll find in...

Yes , and I don't know when the change took place . That equation that's on the octane ratings' stickers : " R+M/2 " equates to Research Octane Number + Motor Octane Number , divided by 2 . This is also known by the American Petroleum Institute as the "AKI" number ( Anti Knock Index )...

9.5:1 c.r. is borderline on 92 octane . I'd gamble that if the engine doesn't run too hot or have too many burrs and-or carbon "spikes" , that you may be okay with that c.r. / octane combo . There are many factors involved in determining what pump-octane to use . 92 octane is the "R+M/2" (or...

I've long wondered about this very "conversation" ( :shaking2: ) . Seriously , I've thought about the concept of an overdrive behind a Slant for some years . As Dan stated , the A500 (ad seq.) conversion requires a buuuuttload of trans tunnel mods ; then there's the adaptation issue . It'd...

If anyone's interested , I've scored an OEM "KV" emissions' hose from a '74 Valiant 225* Vapour Cannister-to-fuel tank line . It's in remarkable condition , which is nothing short of amazing for a southwest U.S. vehicle ! I'm going to clean it up ; and if anyone wants it for their restoration /...

How 'bout dumping that money pit Volvo ? Foreign cars -- excepting Japanese -- will turn on you after their 3rd birthday , and will eat you alive from that point on ! I like some of them , but wouldn't own one as a daily driver :D . I'd be really , really surprised to find that your '76 was...

Aluminum drums for a street car = TH 200 ... what a turd that was . aluminum drums in race applications is okay , however .

A-727-RG . I agree with those whom have opined : "why?" They're kind of difficult to find ; I've seen exactly one in all my years ; it was in a true oddball , a 1970 Coronet New York Taxi ( WN41C0A ) . 225 HD , 727-RG with Low-Gear Block-Out ( just like police cars had ) . Rusted to its lower...

Just block the sucker off and call it a day . When EGR is functioning properly , it's a good thing ; but when it starts giving ya fits ya gotta either service it ( it may be plugged with carbon , as will any heat crossover ... not sure if the Slant Six has such a thing ... ) , replace it , or...

I purposely left-out my ( shared ) feelings regarding unions , as the mere mention of banishing them is akin to mentioning something like "communism" and "good" in the same text : it'll piss a lot of people off . Since a few of you have mentioned the 'elephant-in-the-room' , I'll divulge ...

We can thank two schools-of-thought here : 1. tree huggers 2. greedy corporations FU*K china .

out of curiosity , where ever did you find the (hopefully) correct , one-year-only positive battery cable for your '74 ??? The correct ones were unavailable for a long time ! Guess that being a 1974-only cable , no one saw fit to make 'em ... now , regarding the shutoff problem : powerwagonpaul...

A 225 could be had in "C" bodies ... talk about a power house ! Actually , a 225-powered "B" Body isn't bad at all . A friend used to have a '69 Coronet 2 door coupe with a 225 / column-shift 3 speed manual ; that thing had lots of low-end and would pull like a mother ! Any particulars on the...

Very cool Scamp ! I love those 1971-only , Plymouth-only , 14" deluxe wheel covers ! I notice that there's a fairly new looking belt going to the a/c compressor ; does the a/c work ?
