If some is good and more is better, then too much is just enough...
It runs strong but needs resealed, so since i need to pull it and re gasket it seems like a good time to just put together more hp's, you know?
Awesome! That Hemi is killer. Was it a stick shift? I'm trying to wrap my head around the three master cylinders and all I can guess is front...
I wish I had a good 413 to stab in there right now. I've been watching but also thinking I may as well put together a 440.
Originally a 413 car but has an early 70's mopar 383 4brl in it now. Automagic. I was watching the face space markets for a cool set of wheels...
I'll keep them in mind. Thanks!
She was originally a 413 car but at some point an early 70's 4brl 383 oem crate engine was installed. I believe it to be 375 hp. I own a fsm for...
Its fine now but when i first got it she needed an alignment and it was really screwy with the steering wheel cocked 45 degrees
Every time I drive it I still reach for a column shifter first
A lot of people say that!
Nice! Yeah, I like the hardtop and swoopy body lines on the ol girl
Thanks for the input! It currently works I think, as I have control of the vents and what not. The rebuild kit I bought for the booster came with...
Thanks! It gets more attention than any other old car I’ve ever owned, and there’s been a bunch.
Haven’t been here in some time but I thought y’all might enjoy some pics of my newest ghetto cruiser. I saw her for sale and wound up trading a...
I have this exact same welder and I can tell you it's very user friendly and forgiving for the newbie. What's nice is it will easily do sheet...
Well, after this experience I won't use a compressor like this anyway but thanks for the advice. I kept an eye on it the entire time, making sure...
Here's a shot of the spring at full droop. Stupid design....
Now THAT'S what I need. It looks much safer to me. Where is it from? So yesterday I got back into it and finally managed to get the drivers...
I'll have to snap a picture of the spring at full A arm droop for those not familiar. It has a serious curve to it!
I know I saw a post where someone used the clamshell dude and he swore it worked great, but I can't remember if it was on the hamb or elsewhere....
Thanks for all the replies guys! Aside from the custom built one, I've tried all these. The one with the hooks on both ends just wouldn't compress...
Unfortunately it's not that simple on these. The spring sets on the upper a arm, not the lower, so even at full droop its still quite compressed.
Good lord these things are a pain in the ass. I've got a set of a/c equipped wagon springs that I want to swap in to raise the front up and I've...
This is my autozone story: Me: I had the throttle body bored out for more cfm and fitted it with bigger injectors. Him: Sweet! Is it a 355 or...
Ooops, sorry fellas. Shoulda searched for it!
In the words of Eddie Murphy, "That's a fire!"
As different as a lot of the members here are, I bet we can all identify with one problem that I've encountered since my move from the south side...
