Do you have a distributor for call.
Getting into the early dodge stuff but really? Think he is a AACA guy got my number somehow. They are rare as hens teeth have a weird maker motor in it.Sure, One on the shelf!
Want a performance curve on it?
Waiting for the call if I can do one for a Stanley Steamer!
Beautiful car. Nice swooping body lines.
You guys have no idea what calls I get. Hard not to say you're a stupid eeffoc!
Welcome to my world.. i deal with the public at large and deal with it 11 hours a day
the best is when they call you with a question... you give them an answer then they argue with you... why the **** did you call me then? I'll take my 40 years of experience and go **** off
Did someone say Coffee??

I got the blow by blow account from a buddy about a lady at the tire shop who did not want an alignment and was yelling at the tech for trying to "rip her off"
He said the guy brought the tire in to the waiting room and showed her. The inside of the tire was a freaking racing slick... outside still had good tread
Here's a fun gif

Think i'm going to attempt to relash my valves again tonight.. still got some noise.. really wanna switch to solid lifters. Starting to wonder if i have a bad OEM roller lifter or 2.. And yes.. solid lifters make noise.. but they are supposed to It's the hydraulics making noise that bugs me

finding info on this is ****.. using adjustable rockers with hyd lifters.. i see 1/2 turn to 2 turns.. 1/2 would be .20 preload 2 turns is .080, right now i'm at 1 turn or .040.. might try 1 1/2 this time.
I miss those days with the small block Chevys where you idle the thing with the valve covers off and loosen the rocker nut till it clatters and give it a turn and you're done. Mopars are harder to do with the adjuster out on the end of the rocker. And what a mess it could make.
yeah.. i used to do my friends chevies and that's how i would do it... soo easy.. Doing these isn't that bad it's just getting good information is the issue.. i figure if i go 1 1/2 turn that should put me .060-.070 in preload which is fine. I don't know what the plunger range is for OEM rollers.. but i am betting .100-120
