    I'm on the Ohio-Michigan line, and need cam bearings installed in a big block

    As 493 Mike said, the tough part can sometimes be in fitment. I've found on plenty of them an undersized housing bore from the factory. Usually it's only one of them, but it could be a couple. When u find the trouble spots they can be 1-2 thousands undersize. When younger and listening to some...

    Roller lifter wheel size

    Quality piece I meant. Their pricing compared to the others is a plus, but I wouldn't base your purchase off the product cost alone.

    Roller lifter wheel size

    The Bam product is a quality price on my opinion. Switched from the Morel line to Bam a couple years ago on builds and very happy. The sizing is very uniform and in line with the Morel on size, both slightly larger body size than Isky. The rebuild time is very fast compared to Morel or Isky...

    Where are the green B bodies?

    There's some green on this.

    Any yellow or red and black B-Bodies that painted the bumpers?

    I know most people aren't into the painted bumper look on these cars, but here is a pic as requested. My chrome was the greatest on mine back in the 90's when I was looking to lighten it up a bit. Bought a set of fiberglass pieces and painted body color. I know it's a charger but maybe it will...

    WTB 70 Coronet/Superbee green front split bench vinyl.

    Looking for the front seat covers that would be of driver quality. Picked up a solid 70 Coronet that's too nice to part out. Thought if the ragged seat covers were replaced and some driveline issues resolved it could be driven occasionally. Have already picked up a nice rear seat set from...

    Do I need to balance the crank?

    I don't know why a person would use this forum to insinuate that others are doing things completely wrong, to make themselves look superior in their mind. I never said cranks were balanced with a reciprocating factor that off by 15 grams on a regular basis. Never said that it was a drag engine...

    Do I need to balance the crank?

    Cranky, Do you mean the total amount of laps before seen again, or how long they ran as in there's going to be a problem ?

    Do I need to balance the crank?

    Adding onto what Lefty71 said. If your using the same rods and just changing pistons, weigh the new piston, pin, and ring stack. If the weight difference is about 15 grams or less, my advice is no need to rebalance. I've used that method for years on oval track engines that would see some...

    Right Turn signal makes emergency flasher light up

    Had a similar issue when rebuilding my 70 column on the B about 2 years ago. Drove me crazy until I compared the wiring connection at the hazard block on the new switch to my old one. Wasn't even close. Ordered turn signal switch for a 70 but I'm not so sure all or most of the switches sold are...

    Low RPM idle when in gear and weak uneven idle

    Hate to be the first to say it, but there are numerous variables that will cause the issue that you're experiencing. You didn't state your base timing for one. Have seen too low of a setting cause many problems if the engine runs vacuum advance. Once the car is put into gear a slight loss of...

    BME blocks

    A $500-600 bill at the machine shop should be all that's required, for a reputable new block to be ready for assembly. That would cover line hone, minor deburring, hone lifter bores for clearance, cut deck to desired height, finish cylinders, and final wash. This is assuming that the block...

    1970 coronet 1/4 skins

    Be prepared to do some rework at the bumper recess area at back, unless you cut around and leave existing metal. Helped my brother with a set of Goodmarks and that's what we found.

    70 CHARGERS LETS SEE THEM

    Have owned numerous 500's and RT's thru the years, but have owned this one the longest. Got it in 83 off a fellow Marine that got called out onto a aircraft carrier. Too busy with other projects to even get her out of the garage this year.

    Motor home 440

    I've wondered at times how much leniency they had in the industrial engine assembly department. Not only Chrysler, but Ford or GM. These multiple crank, and rod combos you wouldn't think should still be around in these later motor homes. In the mid nineties a 460 Ford was brought to my engine...
