    Porta power to get header iff the torsion bar?

    They will just spring back. But what works really well? Heat the area where the contact occurs. If clearance isn't suffcient to get at the area you can uses a ratchet strap to pull the header away from the torsion bar. When its red pry the header against the torsion bar. The result will be a...

    Which EFI for crossram Hemi?

    Not a crossram, but FiTech. Make sure it is done correctly, wiring, grounds, in-tank pump, timing control, etc. In-tank pump needs ethanol rated hose, not just efi rated.

    Possible to remove rear glass and re-use gasket?

    It's not all negative. I believed the negative hype, done multiple front and rear at this point, in the last few years. Not all original gaskets are terrible. My 58 had nice, flexible, soft, original gaskets front and rear. The windows on it have complex convect curves and no one is making...

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    800 rpm drop is HUGE. My rpm at 70 mph used to be 3,100 with the 727. Switching to a TKX with a .81 O/D it dropped to about 2,400 rpm. That 700 rpm drop makes a massive difference, to noise, mpg and mechanical wear. Heck, even 500 rpm is significant. Ask others who've done similar swaps e.g...

    WTB 1962 - 1963 8-3/4" rear wanted

    I know you want one relatively close to you. But there is a beautifully detailed complete axle assembly from a 63 Polara with tapered axles with a detailed painted carrier and black housing in Littleton, Colorado Facebook. (a must see) 8 3/4 3:23 sure grip new seals and good brakes with drums...

    Tell me more. What exactly is the A833OD. Is that a factory Chrysler.

    Installing Hydroboost and bigger brakes in a 1970 Charger

    Confirmation helps, though. Today at the junkyard, I looked at a few trucks/vans that had Hydroboost. I'm embarrassed but relieved at the same time. I found that in fact, I was plumbed backwards. I had pressure going in where it is supposed to be coming out. Here is proof: This Chevy Astro had a...

    It looks like Chris Birdsong has been bitten by the third generation Charger bug!

    I think the 3rd gen Plymouths look better, but I’m partial.

    Old T-Birds, who likes them

    I think the same can be said for first generation Chargers. Until recently you couldn't give them away! They have ridden the coattails of the second gens and increased in value somewhat. They have Imperial build quality and just don't get the love.

    I switched from an A833 to a cast iron A833OD for a cross country trip, thinking I'd switch back after we returned home. Nope. It's great, inexpensive, kept my bench seat, no hacking the floor, direct swap to my bellhousing, shifter, driveshaft. 75mph @2,100rpm with 3.23s and a 28" tall tire.

    WTB 1962 - 1963 8-3/4" rear wanted

    Not a 64 with those axles. No 62 plus drum to drum 65 to 67 B body are the narrowest besides A bodies.

    Alternator charging problem

    It actually doesn't matter if they are both isolated from the case.

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    You are correct. Still 800 rpm in my mind isn’t that much. GV advertises a .54 and .78. .54 would be more like what I would want that would put it at 2000. RPM at 70mph. But GV website doesn’t do a very good job of explaining the 4 different options they have. I also don’t like the idea of...

    Random picture thread

    These shots are from my old highschool buddies engine shop in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Tim was experimenting with lift, ratios and bending push rods in his Dart's 440 WAY back in the mid '70's and is still at it all these years later... less the push rod bending that is! Has his two Son's fully...
