    Squeak in suspension fix

    Those poly bushings slide into the old shell, no need to remove. Poly bushings require silicone grease.

    Anyone use this lisle 55600 pilot bushing remover tool?

    Grease and bread do actually work, I've used both, easy peasy. I happened to have a wooden dowl from a craft store that fit perfectly.

    over the hump clear floor mats?

    I put an ACC carpet in my Dart, so nice I got the ACC carpeted floor mats, so nice I put the old rubber mats from my truck on top of those. And I passed on getting the ACC full rubber floor covering. Maybe that could be an option?

    over the hump clear floor mats?

    My 58 Coronet came with one, it cleaned up nicely, no cracks. It's gigantic, it's staying in the 58, but I'm questioning whether it would even fit in my 64.

    No dash lights in 4 of my cars!

    Twist the switch back and forth a bunch of times, then do it again, done. Fixed mine everytime.

    Summit has smoothies, not the same. Plus, I prefer old school, with a bit of perfectly shitty.

    Interior paint sources?

    I used Spray Bomb out of Rustoleum. They make a Troy-Bilt Tiller/Lawnmower red that is an exact match to my vinyl. Not expensive but just look at it!

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    Did it for lower rpms, so we could drive it all over on long trips. Now we take it everywhere, times when we would have left it home, or wanted to but also wanted to have a conversation on the way. If it saves fuel, a win we'll gladly take, but with a dual quad tunnel ram, I've never calculated...

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    Here's what I did for my a-body, plan on the same for my b-body. To swap from the regular A833 to the A833OD: On the OD turn down the bearing retainer from 5.125 to 4.805. Have/get a bell with the 4.805 hole. Verify runout and get appropriate offset dowel pins. Get the OD 3/4 shifter arm and...

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    800rpm drop is definitely huge. My daughter and I can have an actual conversation, hear each other, and don't have to crank the radio so much, but we still do. Fwiw, in my case, going to the OD and a slightly taller tire increased acceleration, most likely due to the OD 1st gear.

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    Yes sir. Made in cast iron and aluminum case for a-bodies, iirc just cast iron for b-bodies. Have a 76 cast iron one in my a-body, a cast iron one on the way for my b-body. Forgot to mention, need to get the correct 3/4 arm and rod for the shifter. These are not the Chrysler truck trans or...

    Which EFI for crossram Hemi?

    Not a crossram, but FiTech. Make sure it is done correctly, wiring, grounds, in-tank pump, timing control, etc. In-tank pump needs ethanol rated hose, not just efi rated.
