    End of the race season, results and future plans

    I already own the air bags. I like the adjustability. Truck is used for towing only so the pressure is adjusted to suit. Doug

    Air Compressor inop

    If you drain the tank and it runs, my bet is the pressure switch. If it doesnt run at all the start capacitor is high on the suspect list. Doug

    Help! Second gear issue with 727

    The band and frictions material is adhered with a water based glue. I see no mention that you looked those components. They may be delaminating down to the metal. Doug

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    If it is a factory even space converter it is a lock-up. I did not think about that. Missed the fact that Autozone was the retailer. Doug

    Advice Appreciated: Before I begin restoring my trunk lid

    Fabbing the inner corners will be the toughest. My bet is it needs the entire rear vertical portion replaced. Can it be done? Yes, but it'll be pretty tough for a first timer. If you are not pretty good at welding sheet metal and are willing to learn hammer forming I'd say it's going to be very...

    Coil spring (spiral) in a 1971 Dodge

    To me it appears to be well done. As far as extra load tearing stuff apart? Two things come to mind. First is this system is supplemental. So the extra load can't be that much. Second there are plenty of unibody cars that use coil spring mounting. Thefactory upper control arm mount sees plenty...

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    If it is a forged crank. Oblong the hole and run it. It wont hurt anything since your engine doesn't require external balaamce. Doug

    Ferd that belonged to Mark Artis and driven by Dan.....NSS

    For sure Mark was the driver. We raced together in N/SS for over 10 years. Their entire group and ours were pretty close. Damon had a 73 Challenger back then. Today he has a Nostalgia funny car called Passin Gas Doug

    Emptied the old trailer today. Got all the pit pal stuff, genetator, parts, chairs, etc out. The garage is a disaster. Doug

    Ferd that belonged to Mark Artis and driven by Dan.....NSS

    Raced against them many times. Car was owned by Dan Bell and driven by Mark Artis. They called me the "Yankee". Lots of kidding back and forth and fun between us. We hung chrome fender skirts on it once as a joke. The others in the group, Kenny Eakles and Damon Kuhn are still around. Damon...

    End of the race season, results and future plans

    Ran a .500 pro tree S/S race at Milan today. Of course foot braking against the adjustable trans brake button cars. I was late in Q1 & Q2 .065, .061. Car was fast. Able to take the weight out. Ran a 9.0257 with 40 lbs still bolted in. Pulled it out for Q2 and ran 8.9630. Unfortunantely pulled...

    Hemi valve lash

    Cam cards are alway the hot numbers. Around .005" tighter than the spec cold will get you close. Then check one bank hot. Record the numbers. Let it cool overnight. Check that same bank again and do the math. Exhaust and intake may be a different amount of expansion. Once you know the expansion...

    1962 Belvedere Transmission Issue

    Is this happening with the car stationary? If so my bet is you have metal to metal contact in reverse. The engine/transmission rotate in a different direction forward to reverse. Exhaust system can be a prime suspect. Doug

    Axle & Diff Rebuild Time

    The hotter the better. Quick shirt welds. Weld an 1" at a time then cool. 8 3/4 housings move a ton with heat. Doug
