    Differential and converter ratio selection for 440 magnum.

    First of all your going to need better than pump gas. at least 110 octane. Boss Hog converters have an extreemly poor history of quality. Fairly big street cam and a single plane intake. I'd run a 3.91 gear minimum. 3000 stall minimum. Try PTC they build a good resonably priced converter...

    70 Roadrunner smashed windshield, opinions wanted

    The correct bedding compound will seal it up tight. I did my Jeep Gladiator pick-up a few years ago. Someone had previously used clear silicone. Cleaned it all off, then sealed and reinstalled it. Hasn't leaked a drop in 3 years. Bedding compound is gooey black and never dries. Stays that way...

    70 Roadrunner smashed windshield, opinions wanted

    Windshileds arent that bad. Remove the trim. Unlock the rubber and remove the old glass. Now comes the fun part. Clean up of the body flange and the seal. If you put it back in with no bedding compound it will leak. 3M 8509 has been on back order for months. There may be other products that are...

    Tricks to get door open?

    The trick is lube. The manual release only moves a lever out of the way. This allows a second lever to move unlatching the door. The second lever moves by spring tension. If it is stuck, the door remains latched. If someone holds the button in you can spray lube and tap on the mechanism. Or get...

    4 Speed vs. Rear end gear ratio

    It’s in the synchros/sleeves/and clutch. If the clutch does release or the sleeve/hub assy binds it won’t shift clean. Worn hubs and sleeves that have been filed to remove burrs and grooves shift very well. My Challenger (23spline, 3.55 gear, factory pistol grip) has the original (95k miles)...

    what is that engine worth on the market ???

    What its worth? What it cost to build? What you can sell it for? All are different. I we looking at shelf forged pistons, stock crank, flat tapped cam, factory heads? Even then I'd bet carbs to pan its worth at least $5K. Maybe more to the right person. Especially if you have documentation. I'll...

    Color ideas

    Door will not open

    You have to understand how the latch works. When you move either handle it moves a lever in the latch. This lever does not open the latch. This lever blocks a second lever which keeps the door latched. A spring moves the 2nd lever after you move the 1st lever with the handle. If the piviot for...
