Normally the overheating problem comes up in stop and go traffic. If you are overheating at highway speeds, I'm wondering if you are missing the hood-core support seal allowing the air to not be forced thru the radiator.

If you feel a shudder or vibration under acceleration, your pinion is too high. If you feel it under deceleration, your pinion is too low. When I set my pinion the way everyone said it should be (3-5 degrees down) to tell the truth, when I looked in my rear view mirror at 60 mph, I couldn't tell...

Read my post 7. Been there, tried that theory. I know that is the theory that has been around for many years and may work for some but it sure as hell didn't work for me. My pinion would never come up 7 degrees. I tried jacking up the nose on my pinion and could only get about 2.5 degrees...

BS

That turned out to be a wives tale for me. Looks like the same story for this thread. That is about what he has now. About 2 degrees lower than the trans. I tried that exact thing and it still had a shudder when I let up. What finally worked for me was to match the pinion and trans. That theory...

That is because it is only .3 degrees of an angle. Put those 2.5 degree shims in to tip your pinion up to 4 degrees and you will be golden. Don't worry about the driveshaft angle. It is constantly changing while you are driving anyway. As long as your Transmission is lined up with the Pinion at...

You may be blaming the wrong people. They more than likely sent it out when they said they did. My bet is on the USPS being the culprit here with the mis handling that goes on there. You may end up getting it for Christmas if at all. My neighbor got a Christmas card back last month that he...

First off. If your angle calculations are correct, you entered them wrong in the Spicer calculator. You swapped the drive shaft angle and the pinion angle which is not the real problem. The real problem is you didn't change your pinion angle to down. Here is the correct readings. Angle 1=2.2...

I don't know if you are trying to educate me on the workings of AC or not but I do know the importance of the components that make up the workings of an air conditioner. Just to reiterate your comment of it being a special Valve with special calibration points. I used a factory 1968 Mopar...

I can't say all the Pirate Jack stuff is junk. Maybe it is ok for a Camaro or some small shivvy but they are no good for a B or E body Mopar. Cass at Dr. Diff won't steer you wrong and I have no input in the others. I just know that the Bendix style dual 8" diaphragm units I have installed work...

I used that Pirate Jack Generic Motors MP-203 garbage on my Niece's Challenger when I built it for her. It would not provide enough boost for disc brakes no matter how hard you pushed on the pedal. They wouldn't take it back so it went to a local scrap dealer. You will never be happy with the...

When I built my 68 with the 6.1 engine, I used the compressor that came with the 6.1. Installed a new stock condenser, dryer and expansion valve. Once the underhood plumbing was complete, it was charged with the R134. It has been flawless since 2016 with no recharges or leaks. That said, I...

The original canister had a check valve inside the can. Mine failed so I added one inline between the line and can.

At least it is on the move.......I have had a few with no movement at all for 10 days or more. Seems to be the norm rather than the occasional SNAFU.

My 65 Sport Fury always seemed have a gas smell after driving it. I thought it was coming from the tank or vented gas cap and wafting from there but one day found it by accident. I could never find any drips of gas in the garage so never considered a real leak. One day after driving I had it...
