I still have the 1967s on my 67 R/T and never crush the gaskets. They have the original heater hose loop too. I have a set of cutout blue steel and clips to adjust lash with.

Those original vin plates, radiator support ETC and the fender tags are the gold in them thar junkers.

The idea is to introduce air into the mixture, a silenced vacuum line will do the job it will have to be run through the firewall into the car like a heater control hose and open, it will be open just enough to pass without making the car run too rough you may have to turn the idle to lower the...

You can get overkill on a winch for light duty work, I had an 8000 pound gear reduction warn on my boom truck till the bearings wore out on it it had a four line dual pulley system on it. I picked up a 6" thick steel reinforced concrete 42" culvert 5 feet long with my boom truck and loaded it...

The tractor supply one in post 2 with a double line pulled a 1985 Buick Lesabre with a locked rear brake and four flats on my trailer I just pulled for a minute and let off for a minute just to be sure it wouldn't get too hot it was 10 years ago and it is still going after a lot of the same...

I found out the hard way that a torqueflite will break the clutch pack spring, push it through the lock ring and lock the clutch engaged. Glad you had the easy fix. Nice car BTW!!!!

If it were my call I would pull the heads two cylinders side by side with low compression most times is the result of a head gasket leak or crack. As for shims I never use them if you have a problem in the geometry of the valve train you are using something not correctly installed or adjusted...

Mine is good the gages are faded but they are still pretty good going to run ‘‘em like they are the console tac is not right anymore but I have a small one under the left of the dash that’s right. The quality of repops seems to have taken a turn for the worse in most everything even some of...

You may want to call someone in an old race car stable with the VIN you have. Did it show to ever have a Fender tag or was it not a production car? Do you have a line of ownership? .........................

I would go for a conversion if I drove the car as a daily driver but as an occasional out and about driver I would just work it over right and use the right parts to make it right. I have a dozen B and RBs and If you build them with Fel Pro gaskets seal the threads where they need sealing and...

I'm with 67 Coronet pull he plugs and have a look. You may have a small insulator crack that opens after it warms, and if you have a few miles on it you may be able to color read them. I would think it is leaning though and stumbling you may be running along with the throttle just at the...

The Hurst competition plus is made for many vehicles BUT it comes with a mounting plate specifically for the application AND in Most cases Specific handle (stick) for the Application. Have you matched your trans application to your car? There are a few differences in some of the New Process...

The 1050 I had did okay but I put it on where I had a 850 double pumper I had cut the choke tower off, put two rios on and spray tube orfice set them , hogged, zip tubed, vent baffled 4 corner jetted and put a 4.5 power valve in it with the 310 SS solid. It was like having coil springs launch...

For a RB with built heads, 300+ cam, pistons, rods, a good fuel setup and some serious flow 2" stainless headers, 2.5 stainless exhaust H pipe at the right place and good quiet mufflers. If you want less pressure go for the 3" mufflers and back then oval the tailpipes to past the bumper. Good...
