Once the new heads are on hand, pull one of the old heads off, and using a head gasket of the correct thickness ……..
Put a piston at 10*ATDC, remove one of the intake valve springs, place the new head on the block(snug it down with a bolt or two), and measure how far the valve can open before it...
Thank you all for your great responses!
Yesterday we ended up swapping the driveshaft from my father’s 71 RR. Back on the highway and the vibration was still there, but did seem to improve it some. It vibrated from 63-68 MPH but seemed to get better at 70 and above. If at 70 and putting into...
A while back I found out that the original headlight dimmer switches are date coded!
In addition the originals have the manufacturer initials of "RBM" molded into the bottom!
In the early 70's Chrysler added a shroud over the connector area and changed suppliers to "ESSEX".

Yup, a bottom tap does cut but mostly at the bottom. If the treads are not damaged at the top but say half way down, the bottom tap will be fine. In the 30+ years in machining and even more years of working on cars, I never made the threads worse. Before I go into any thread, I inspect them and...
Are those 8" on the rear, maybe even wider? Do you remember the tire size there too?
Love the stance and look.
I have a pair of the, what seems sought after, 15x6 Hemi JK 839 wheels I can use on the front and am looking for rears still.
Uupdate, Miss Bird is back up and running, turns out the Torque converter bolts had back out and was hitting the back of the block creating a spun bearing sound..Took me about 10 months before I got back trouble shooting it. But now she's up and running again, didn't have to the engine what a...
