    NHRA rules for SFI Bellhousing

    Understood, but the lawyer speak is annoying. Then you get a free pass with new stuff, because safety be damned we need newer cars in staging lanes. I'm all for keeping my pieces attached, but wordy indirect sentences leave dumb people behind and their only defense is to fail you and then you...

    NHRA rules for SFI Bellhousing

    So you need a minimum of 15, 3/8" bolts holding the bell housing on? On a BB Mopar you fail before you start, there are only 6 bolts on bell housing and 2 are below the crankshaft therefore bottom half. Typical NHRA jibberish. Worse than dealing with the government. You also get a pass if you...

    Seriously, Jegs?

    Jegs has always had a **** website. Summit did have a very easy to navigate. Now it's so laden with self promotion (keep stuffing high profit items up my *** as I'm shopping your site) this is akin to a sales associate at a store pulling items off the shelf as I browse and keep sticking in my...

    Seriously, Jegs?

    Everyone wants that warm fuzzy, someone to blame security. Anyone can finance a 60k pickup truck. Don't worry that you don't have enough money to put tires on.

    '71 road runner 8 3/4 Rear Axle Seals & Drum Brake Hardware Kit

    There is a inner and outer seal. The inner seal is easy to change after pulling the axle. The axle bearing is lubed by grease like front wheels. The outer seal is not good holding back gear oil. Change the inner, repack the bearing with grease, should be fine.

    Trip Through Time The Ford River Rouge Plant

    There is scary **** in most steel mills. I remember as a pre-teen going to a program offered by United States Steel at Edgar Thompson plant. We got to see up close all parts of steel making. The heat that radiated from everything is incredible. Later now as a steel hauler truck driver, I have...

    AGM Batteries in older cars

    My wife's AGM in her Jeep GC lasted 11 years. The starter and the fact that it is her car I just replaced it. In hind sight I should have kept it and cored a really dead POS, oh well. I have a AGM in a couple of cars. They actually are a lead acid battery, just the acid is in a (wait for it)...

    Bell housing, Clutch and Pressure Plate Recommendations for TKX Swap

    Use a 143 tooth steel flywheel. Lakewood makes a aftermarket aluminum bell housing with both starter bolt patterns and accepts A833, and Tremec Ford style bolt pattern and uses concentric rings for different input bearing retainers. A 130 tooth flywheel cannot use a new modern starter on a big...

    Orange box breaking up?

    If it is a new orange box it probably will not work well in the heat, the transistor on the front is fake and just done with internal circuitry. If it is a older box the ground could be a problem, best to run a ground off mounting bolt to battery.

    How do you set up your Alignment for strip?

    I agree with you. As long as your pieces aren't bent and you can get tie rod sleeves to be at equal angles (pitman arm and idler in same plane/level with each other) bump steer should be reduced.

    How do you set up your Alignment for strip?

    Not drag racing per-say, but some good visual cause and effect. He is a dirt track racer normally, and some autocross.

    Human Metapneumovirus PSA

    Too many people. If humans were a pest we would be a infestation. Glad you and your wife are doing better. Get well soon.

    Has anyone seen this while installing a big block in place of a small block?

    The studs are too long on these new/replacement mounts. Remove from engine, cut the excess stud from mount face towards the engine block, the plates will rest higher up in toward the block and allow it to settle down in mounts on K frame. Had this issue last summer dummying my sons motor into...

    Get rid of the headers, right?

    I'm 57, headers are the only choice, period.

    Excessive Fan Noise due to fan speed

    Another thing to mention about fan clutches is the way they are stored. Can't remember which way you are supposed to store them, but if the fan clutch you bought was not stored "correctly" it will take some driving to reset/release it.

    Excessive Fan Noise due to fan speed

    Always use a fan clutch. Chrysler developed these in the 1950's. The don't require as much power with a more aggressive fan. Thermal units will move toward lock up as unit gets hot, now if it's 5" away from radiator you are losing some of this action. Only cheap cars with small radiators should...
