because the ball bearing that supports the output shaft is snap ringed into the housing, holding the output shaft in place. There is a thrust washer on the end of the output shaft that the drum sits against when you stack them. If the output shaft is not held in place your endplay of...

Done lots of hydraulic rollers in 440's with no noise. 1st you cannot run thick oil in the retro hydraulic lifters they are selling. 10w30 oil is what works best. With thick oil they do not operate correctly. 2nd if you are not using adjustable rocker arms you have to be very precise in...

Just to ask, are you taking the endplay measurements with the rear output housing on or off? If the output housing and the output bearing is not snapped into the rear snap ring in the housing you will get big endplay numbers like that.

It is sad to me that vaccines have become such a political issue. It is also sad to me that our health care system is centered around making money and not really about making people healthier. If you read some history, vaccines really increased the lifespan of the human race, I think in the...

I believe the adjustable washer with sizes available is the one on the pump. You just look for wear otherwise. A little wear on all the washers is just a normal thing with use, just adjust the pump washer thickness.

The key is accurate measurement. Every part needs to be cleaned and measured, then you decide if each of those parts need to be replaced, reconditioned or used as is. Kind of expensive but I would recommend putting hardened seats in the exhaust for unleaded fuel. If the crankshaft needs...

General rule when working on brakes always do the axle at one time, both sides, whether it be pads, shoes calipers, lines wheel cylinders, etc. Just saves time and trouble.

It depends if you have to have the bolt pads for the pinion snubber. They put Dana 60's in a bunch of Dodge and Ford trucks, I just use the axle retainer for an 8 3/4, you can buy them without cutting one off an axle and cut the axle to the correct length, then weld the retainer on the truck...

Been building Chrysler transmissions both stock and race, for about 50 years now, GM converters are not used in a 727. The Mopar transmission has the least space in the flex plate to pump of any muscle car transmission, no room for a GM style core, pump drive is different as well. There are...

I go with my son to the boundary waters almost every year, just a beautiful place. We catch Bass, Walleye, and as far as eating I really like northern pike.

I was at the race with running in NSS several of my buddies showed up as well, yes it was a great event. One question, one of my buddies brought a really nice 1971 Cuda and entered in the car show. He said he never saw the judges and never got any feedback that his car has even been judged...

The engine in my post I built 20 years ago originally using Ross shelf dome pistons. Part number is still current in the catalog. BUT they had no piston blanks to make them. Took months to finally get them. Look online and I believe you will find very few companies still make a dome piston...

First going with a dome piston really limits your choice of heads as almost all the aftermarket heads have closed chambers. Nobody much builds engines with dome pistons anymore. They use a flat top piston with a small comustion chamber. I am really impressed with trick flow heads because they...

I am approaching 70 years and I fixed up cars with both my kids when they were in high school, my son's was a 340 Duster he even took it to the track and raced with me several times. He sold the car when going to college. My Daughter fixed up a 1967 coronet and she still has it. I have two...

you will need to do very little grinding at the bottom of the bores. I just use a die grinder and a black magic marker. I have some used bearings to install the crank, just need front and back. You can slip in two rods and pistons with no rings and mark the bottom of the cylinders, then...

Pressure gauge is your friend, hook one up and see if you get any oil pressure in the 3rd gear circuit, when shifting into 2nd if you do then valvebody is most likely the cause.

main thing is if you take a screwdriver and pry out the shoe to simulate shoe movement and watch the adjuster work.

Radiator shops are a thing of the past. all the radiator shops here have closed, owners got old and nobody wanted to get into the business.

I have done max wedge crossrams and with a little fiddling they work well. You did not list the duration of the cam, which is the most important factor in drivability tuning. But if you can't do it yourself, in my opinion sending a carb off will not get the job done no matter how good the carb...
