Powermaster makes a wide variety from all manufacturers. Later model Mopars that used Denso stuff is good. It bolts on with minimal mods and uses the stock wiring. Thought I'd add a new output cable to the battery. I run both styles The race car has a GM 10SI Powermaster 145 amp 16 volt. Street...
I'd run it as is. Hard shift isn't going to hurt anything. It'll be safe and last forever. If you swap the VB it'll need kick down parts. If the rear pump parts and governor parts are missing it'll need them as well. 65 race trans are a nitch item. Got to find someone who runs them. I'm assuming...
Pull the pan. Make sure the cam on the throttle pressure shaft is installed correctly pushing the kickdown valve in when you move the lever. If that looks good? Pull the valve body and check the throttle valve, spring, kickdown valve, and guide for proper installation. Good? Look at the throttle...
Not uncommon for clear filters to see air. If there is fuel in the filter I would question if thats the issue. When it quits does it have spark? Will it start with a spritz of carb clean in the carb? In over 50 years of building hot rods never had one vapor lock.

You alway move both wheels in the direction the wheel is off. In your case the wheel is off to the right. So think of it like this. The wheel needs to be rotated counter clockwise to be straight. With the car setting still do just that. Now you will see with the wheel straight the tires are...
Do you have a push button valve body? Or is is a floor shift 64/column shift 65 valve body? The rooster comb, manual valve, and nuetral switch are different between the two types. The wrong valve body can be easily convertered by swapping the correct rooster comb, manual valve. neutral safety...
Im assuming the 1/2 buttons wont press in?Which neutral safety switch? If it's the nylon style plunger, the plunger sets to deep and can interfer with the rooster comb.

I'm not sure where you got this info. It will pull towards the side with the lower caster. Higher camber can cause it to pull as well, but to a lesser degree. The specs given here are good. They shouldn't cause any pull. If the road is flat it should go nearly straight. The first place I'd look...
In the past I've run mid 10's@128 using 10" drum brakes. It wasn't bad at a normal length track.Th biggest concern is pulling right or left on a hard stop. Good wheel cylinders, smooth backing plates, rivreted shoes, and drums that have a nice finish. Not to mention good front suspension...
It's a street motor with cast pistons. Nobody would blink an eye at .030" over with the cylinder walls .015" thinner than stock. At .060" over, the cylinder walls are .030" thinner than when it was standard bore. So why get so excited about .015"?

One box is 36 sqaure feet I covered the floor and any access hole in the doors. I've seen people put it on th eroof as well. The more coverage you install the quieter it is. I did my 67 Jeep pickup. Didn't do th ecieling or the vertical at the back of the cab. the results were amazing as this...
The only deal driving the 5 speed is wind out 4rd a bit. To be honest 95% is 60mph state roads or interstate. The only thing I use this truck for is to tow. The motorhomes are cheap enough its probably going happen.

I thought about a 6 speed. Cost was more than it was worth. Actually on the fence right now. The slide in camper needs an upgrade. So It's either a newer camper $6-15K. Swap the trailer for a gooseneck with living quarters, $20k. Or buy an older Cummins pusher motorhome, $25-30K. Both the...
Diesel, hopped up to about 330hp. Forgot to mention. Don't leave the shifter hole uncovered for a week waiting on parts. Damn bird came in and crapped everywhere. seats, dash, door panels. So this morning the interior got a full cleaning

The press fit shaft is not available. A few rebuilders use the full spline slip fit shaft with Locktite 620 sleeve locker. This shaft also features a split washer that fits into a groove in the shaft held in place with a 2nd coned washer. The rebuilder I watched said this works extremly well...
