I had new carpet when I did my 4 speed swap. I just bought a 4speed carpet set and replaced everything again.

This is what I did.

There are also 18 spline (hemi) 4 speeds along with 23 spline 4 speeds for the b bodies. Biggest obvious difference is the clutch you’re using to make sure the spline count matches. There are also differences in the front input shaft bearing retainer diameters. You need to make sure to...

AC ripple will likely vary a bit depending on where you measure. For example, if you’re probing close to electrical connections of loads (e.g. ignition systems, electric motors like fans…) that aren’t a constant smooth current draw, you could pickup voltage ripple from their varying current...

Personally I wouldn’t be concerned with 55mV peak to peak of ac ripple especially if your car is keeping the battery charged and you have good voltage when the engine running without problems. Looking at your oscilloscope picture, I’m seeing the vertical grid is at 100mV (100mV between grid...

Look over the little black holders that hold the bulb on the back of the instrument cluster when you have these out to replace/check the bulbs. I have had to replace some of these holders as the plastic was cracked or the contacts were corroded. These holders are available still from a...

I’m in the Akron area and unfortunately I don’t recognize it.

If you want to give it a go yourself, upholstery isn’t difficult to do if you’re just installing new foam and legendary covers. There are folks here that have done upholstery themselves I’m sure could help you through it. Some may be local. I’m just east of Akron.

I’m running a 245/256 duration hydraulic roller cam in my 528 hemi. It’s pretty much done making power around 6000 rpm and idles around 850 rpm. It has an almost stock sound of a muscle car but with just a touch of lope. I’d describe it as a muscle car with the cam turned up one notch...

As purplebeeper mentioned, the auto and manual consoles are different. The top plate is different where the shifter goes through the console. Additionally the drivers side of the 4 speed console has a cover piece covered with carpet that sticks out to accommodate the 4-speed hump and a...

Some of the HF stuff is ok. For most hobby and DIY people they work great.

I bought one from Summit racing. I did re-solder the tubes where they meet the core as the solder joint had very little solder before I installed.

I had Spectrum and then went to YoutubeTV which has been good. I do rotate around some other streaming things such as Hulu, Disney, Paramount+ and peacock to add more variety. With these I watch for good deals such as around black friday where you can get them for like a buck or two a month or...

I’ve always heard you need 10psi of oil pressure for every 1000 RPM. It sounds like you could be ok. Adding a HV pump will raise pressure.
