Try a hydraulic hose shop like a Parker store or a farm implement dealer if you can't get the factory ones. When I worked we did a lot of hydraulic work. We had 4 to 6 different boxes of o-ring assortments. The ones in the red box were almost never used because they never fit or held up. If...

67 FSM says to raise vehicle on the outer most portion of the control arm (lca). More than .050" ( a 1/16" is .0625") ball joint should be replaced. FMS is available at mympoar.com. You have to unload ball joints to test.

I have a 67 GTX with a Hurst Super shifter with a straight handle and had to cut the console to make it work.

I bought one from LB enterprises in Taylor Michigan. I emailed him and he said at the time he would have some in a few weeks. He emailed me when he got them in and I had it in about a week. If you talk or email him have your carb numbers to make sure it will fit. Also he only gets them made when...

Some later model carbs. had set screws to limit the mixture screw adjustment. I would remove the plug above the screw and see if there is a set screw or something to limit the removal of the mixture screw. I had to do this on a later model AFB.

All I've found which you might already know is that is what mopar used in a 472 crate engine with 9.0 to 1 comp.

Your diagram is of a semi floating rear axle. The picture is of a hub from a full floating rear axle. Some 3/4 and all 1 ton trucks have full floating rear axles.

I think it is also connected to the brake pressure differential switch.

This was the fix back in the day. I did it a few times when I worked at a gas (service) station.

From my memory from 40+ years ago. Where I worked we had some gas converted to LP refuse trucks. Conversion involved replacing tank and lines. Installing a vaporizer. Replacing carburetor with LP unit. Also had to lock distributor advance and since the engine had valve rotator those were removed...

From what I have read in the past is you hook the ign. 1 and 2 together so you have power while in crank and run position.

Most new cars with 195 t stat will run 200. High temp t stats are for emissions. Seal shroud to radiator with foam weatherstrip. Large trucks and construction equip. do it to maximize air flow.

In my years as a government(low bid) fleet mechanic the bean counters would look at Total Cost of Ownership numbers on what they would buy. I would see manufacturers extend oil change intervals to compete against each other. Marked police cars would average 50k miles a year and sold when they...

To me it depends on what you think reliability is. They took a lot more maintenance like ignition and oil changes. 100k to 150k miles was about it until rebuild unless the body was turning into iron oxide. I always wondered why new engines seem to last longer. Is it better oil, metal use, fuel...

Yes. 3 psi. I looked up a Holley switch and it says 5 psi. Wiring should be C- fuel pump, NC- starter relay/solenoid, NO- key run position. I have seen other ones that look like a plastic oil pressure switch for a light but have 3 spade terminals. If my memory is right (CRS) we never had much...
