That dyno chart looks strange to me? Mike

First thing I can tell you is that you do not want the hubs filled with grease. Pack the bearings with grease and coat the inside of the hubs with grease and that's enough. Too much will push out with normal heat and expansion. The auto parts store should be able to help with the correct seals...

I like the way you reinforced the transmission crossmember before welding in the subframe connectors. Good idea to copy! Mike

You fellas in those humid climes should treat all your new bare metal accessories with Ever Brite preservative. It covers very well...

It sure wouldn't hurt to pull and disassemble that distributor. Is it extremely humid at home? Have you tried pulling plug wiers one at a time to isolate a cylinder? Mike

500 miles. Mike

I can supply the servo snap ring free of charge. Postage appears to be $12.00. Is this OK? Mike

Your runs are so short the gauge is not critical. Mike

Does post #6 answer your question? Mike There is another set of contacts in the ignition switch that provides 12 volts -bypassing the ballast-to give a hotter spark for starting. It uses a brown colored wire. Mike

I fabbed front torque boxes from flat steel plate but, skipped the rear since my springs are moved inboard. Mike

Find a old Motors Manual or FSM they include distributor PNs and all advance specifications. Mike

Blow up my photo and you will see the jumper I made at the BH connector. It's a 10-minute job. Mike

Brown? It sends 12 volts to the coil-just during cranking and it is necessary, so either connect al 3 or do the concealed bypass. Mike

For a clean look, gut the ballast and solder in a piece of 12 gauge solid wire instead of the resister. It is easy to bypass the amp gauge on these models with a bolt in jumper at the bulkhead connector. Then add a voltmeter. Mike

I ordered a tilt bed with removable fenders, solid steel diamond plate deck, torsion axles, and electric brakes in 2005 from Indiana (of course). Needs a paint job but, works well. I have pulled big boat Chryslers, pickups, several B bodies, and a few compact sized cars, plus my B-2920 Kubota...
