Different neighbor picked up an 04 Monte Carlo Super Sport S/C Intimidator. Did not do a ppi, nor ask for advice about it til after purchase and...
Is it bad that I saw three other things before spotting the airbag?.
Seen several races lost because of that attitude. From T&F events, to cyclists celebrating stoopid early, and even a few track events where the...
First gen nope, no V8. 1st gen had the I6 options, 3/4spd and C4. Scarebird has disc brake kit. These Econoline are based on the Falcon, but with...
Curious what the problem is. Looking up flexplate for an 87 4.0 Cherokee and an 87 5.9 Grand Cherokee. Both are 13.83" diameter Both are 164...
At a quick glance it looks like the truck would need to be lowered an inch to get the same wheel clearance as factory. However... The Miata wheels...
Would it just be easier to drill the holes for the TC in the flexplate rather than guestimating balance weight placement?
If it was an odd vs even fire mismatch, there would be a lot of misfiring. If the cars original CCC carb is still being used it will run rich....
Contacted any of the aftermarket(Currie, Moser,etc) rear axle manufactures?
Rotate the selector forward should be Park. Fully counter clockwise. Cheap shifter w/nss, don't think that's really a thing, new. B&M has some...
Outstanding! Glad to see you picking through the original harness. It's a peeve of mine to see folks not use an existing(known working) harness...
64-88 A/G rear shocks are a bit of a mess, and they all seem to be too long. IIRC the only spring that didn't become unsettled with stock length...
Flaming River is probably your only option. But if you need it shorter by a bit then it would probably be better to get a shorter(narrower) rack.
Would be better if the decal was 'Inflammable'. I know, it's dorky, but would add to the fun with confused looks.
What brought this on?
Way to go Jim! Late to the game with a lil' tech. 8.8 found in Fox/SN95 cars was cast Fe. In '05, with the retro S197, Mustangs 8.8 is cast...
Can do a DMV vehicle record request. I recall DMV expunged some records back in ~`80.
Easy would be to find any 70's 200ci C4. Also the block plate, starter and driveshaft yoke as the C4 may have 24 or 26 output spline, I'm guessing...
Ported vacuum advance was used during the Smog era. At part throttle the ported vacuum has a higher inHg than manifold vacuum. This helped ignite...
If the 4 lug pattern is 4x108mm, I'mma guess someone with a Pinto/MII liked the factory slotted wheel look, but wanted something other than 13".
Are these stock wheels or stock sized(including backspacing/offset) wheels? If the wheels are wide, smaller than stock diameter, or have a lot of...
Thought '64 was the first year of the Thrift Six, mea culpa. Do you have the part number or measure the spring free height and wire diameter to...
Effective caster and wheel offset will affect steering return. Manual boxes are 20:1 power boxes are 16:1. A boosted manual system will be very...
*Laughs in ~650lbs of Stovebolt.*
The 14.59 charge voltage has me a bit concerned. You really don't want to push charging much past 14.4. Beyond this risks damaging the battery....
