I remember ol’ Sneaky Pete Jackson running Top Fuel with a little 327 Chevy 2 bolt and doing pretty well. Yup he did girdle it but still. If I remember right he was guestimating 900 hp. There all fun. But it is a rush to beat more genetically blessed motor with your own hard worked hot rod.
Yep small lip. Lots of bad info on line. Found my bill from the shaft shop. The new tube yoke he used was a spicer 2-28-557. That’s an external lock 1310 part. What threw me was that they said the joint was a spicer 5-789x. That’s a straight 1310/1310. I have an offset 1310/1350 joint. Hey...
I couldn’t get under the car so the wife did it. Pretty spry for 75. Outside locks, her best reading was 1.053. It is offset. 1310 should read 1.083, 7260 is 1.078.
Yeah. Standing b/p is running in the low 70s. Parkinson’s is messing with my med requirements. Cars in the big garage. I’ll get my grandson to help me get up and down.
Ok I pulled the bill from the shaft shop. Now I’m really confused. It says he used a Spicer 5-789x which is a 7260 series joint. He told me he used a 1310/1350 hybrid. My mechanic had no problems with the install. Guess I’m gonna see if I can get down on the creeper. Passed out, fell and broke...
Sorry. Should have been clearer. With the joint in place the 1350 post fitted in the yoke saddle the 1310 posts sit almost 3/8th towards the front of the car. It is not inline like the picture AS67GTX showed. If I layed mine on a table with the 2 1350 cups touching the surface the 2 1310 cups...
Ok. I bought a new 489 case with 3.73 gears and a Detroit locker. I also added a billet pinion Yoke in 1350. My old unit was a 1310. I didn’t have a local shop here that could make me a new full 1350 shaft. Problem I’m having is a vibration that’s new. I’ve never used this kind of joint before...
I have a cast crank 76 440 in my 63. The PO had installed the very heavy speedpro 6 pack pistons I left them and installed a set of 440 source CNC Stealth heads, Isky 292 mega cam,RPM intake, Holley 750 double pumper,and Doug’s D452 headers. 3k converter and 373 gears. I’m very pleased with the...
I would take it back to the shop. It is possible that depending on the hone used or clamping protocols used that the hone head overdwelled at the ends of its stroke. At least call them.
It has always been my understanding that the shape and height requirements for the stock one was to reduce the tendency of a liquid to create a vortices hence the shape of the pickup disc. The depth setting was to keep it far enough away from the bottom of the pan as to allow a smooth controlled...
Amen John. Life is short. Bought my last purchase to put my dodge on the track. I’ll be 78 this year but the fires still lit. You have an awesome family sir.
I got the car across the scales. With no one in the car and 2 gals of fuel it hit right at 3400. I’m 260. lol Thats pounds not kilos. Picked up a p/s hose leak and a left rear brake locking up. Those get fixed end of the month. I’m gonna run it on the old shocks. I live in WNC and right near...
I have the speed pro flat tops in mine on LY rods. I didn’t build it. I have built big block Chevys with a honed to slip fit steel on steel. Drilled a small hole in the rod top for pin oiling. You can buy alloy round bar and easily cut pin buttons on a hobby level lathe.
