    Valve pushrod length

    Just installed a pair of 440 Source stealth heads with their head gaskets. I'm using Comp Cams hydraulic lifters with their XE-262H-10 cam. With no pre-load, my pushrod length checker measures 9.200 in. My pushrods measure 9.300 in. Is this too much pre--load. Should I be looking for 9.250in...

    Broken torsion bar

    How many of you have had a torsion bar break. I had a 73 Satellite in the late 70’s. Parked on a job site in the morning, and when I got back in the car to drive home, noticed something wrong . Torsion bar broke sitting still.

    So, I take it those orange tool boxes are just a generic thing, nothing to do with Chrysler.

    Dana 9 3/4 axle questions

    Had a leaking axle seal or gasket. Pulled the axle this morning, and in looking in the axle tube on the right side with a flashlight, saw this part about 16 inches in. What is it and what does the job entail? 69 4-speed GTX. Is this a pinion shaft thrust spacer.

    Low brake pressure

    I have a 69 GTX, A33 car which when I purchased it had 11" drums at all four wheels. The build sheet reads B31 brakes, which I think would be hevi duty manual drums, but someone has converted it to power. Braking action was poor to the point of being scary, but no "Brakes" light on the dash ever...

    Coats 40-50 tire machine

    I just bought a Coats 40-50SA tire machine. It operates under pressure and breaks beads very well, but it returns to it's at-rest position very slowly, wether there is a tire on the machine or not. Anyone have experience with this machine or this condition?
