I know, we are a Mopar community but AMCs are sort of a cousin of ours. Today, I saw this...... I don't know the year, I don't know the equipment it has either... It is a little scuffed up but looks mostly complete. It had a column shift but also what looked like an early 70s GM style...

Nobody that I know that currently has a classic car has had a camshaft failure except me. Yeah, there are lots of stories of cams and lifters failing but they are not the majority. I have had numerous mild to moderate V8s with reasonable valve spring pressures live just fine with flat tappet cams.

The 454 big block Chevy has a bore size barely bigger than a 383: The 400 block is though of as a better low deck option compared to the 383. I have a 383 that I rebuilt in 2020 but last year, I stumbled upon a 440 crank kit that was machined down to fit a low deck block. The 440 crank isn't...

By it's nature, an engine with an increased stroke will have greater cylinder bore wear than the same engine with a stock crank. The longer stroke pushes the pistons sideways more during operation. The pistons have shorter skirts so the pistons can "rock" more as the cylinders wear. Add to it...

Sorry to those that will feel offended but here is how I see it: The Mopars had the power but the GM cars had the styling. An early B body doesn't look as good to me as a 64-67 Tempest, Chevelle, Skylark or Cutlass. The GTO was a great looking car despite having weak brakes and less than optimal...

In the early 1960s, General Motors had a strict rule: No big engines in midsize cars. But a group of rebellious engineers at Pontiac had other plans—and what they built would go on to spark a revolution in American car culture. A young engineer named John DeLorean, along with Russ Gee and Bill...

That is absolute dumb luck on my part.....a guess at value that is close to a reproduction price!

I'll go out on a limb and say $100. It is a one year only part but some owners don't reinstall them after a restoration. I didn't. My bumper guards are unsupported at the bottom.

Hmmm.....Pete covers this starting around 2.35:

This sure seems time consuming.

Since I've never installed a roller cam in an engine that wasn't built with one, I still wonder about how all this will work. The concept of the back side of the camshaft sprocket riding against the block seems weird even with a Torrington bearing. I haven't looked into how the cam button is...

I remember seeing VWs all over when I first started driving. Friends and I used to say We need a big can of RAID for all of the BUGS running around.

It is hard to imagine people being such ******** to others. It wasn't like the bikers were child molesters or worse.

Just a guess but I’d be surprised if it is any different than any other 15” Mopar wheel.

The standard size I’ve read is 2.81” for all B bodies whether drum or disc.

Whoa...... I'm going to be watching this one....weird stuff like this can be interesting.
