As 493 Mike said, the tough part can sometimes be in fitment. I've found on plenty of them an undersized housing bore from the factory. Usually it's only one of them, but it could be a couple. When u find the trouble spots they can be 1-2 thousands undersize. When younger and listening to some...

Quality piece I meant. Their pricing compared to the others is a plus, but I wouldn't base your purchase off the product cost alone.

The Bam product is a quality price on my opinion. Switched from the Morel line to Bam a couple years ago on builds and very happy. The sizing is very uniform and in line with the Morel on size, both slightly larger body size than Isky. The rebuild time is very fast compared to Morel or Isky...

There's some green on this.

I know most people aren't into the painted bumper look on these cars, but here is a pic as requested. My chrome was the greatest on mine back in the 90's when I was looking to lighten it up a bit. Bought a set of fiberglass pieces and painted body color. I know it's a charger but maybe it will...

Looking for the front seat covers that would be of driver quality. Picked up a solid 70 Coronet that's too nice to part out. Thought if the ragged seat covers were replaced and some driveline issues resolved it could be driven occasionally. Have already picked up a nice rear seat set from...

I don't know why a person would use this forum to insinuate that others are doing things completely wrong, to make themselves look superior in their mind. I never said cranks were balanced with a reciprocating factor that off by 15 grams on a regular basis. Never said that it was a drag engine...

Cranky, Do you mean the total amount of laps before seen again, or how long they ran as in there's going to be a problem ?

Adding onto what Lefty71 said. If your using the same rods and just changing pistons, weigh the new piston, pin, and ring stack. If the weight difference is about 15 grams or less, my advice is no need to rebalance. I've used that method for years on oval track engines that would see some...

Had a similar issue when rebuilding my 70 column on the B about 2 years ago. Drove me crazy until I compared the wiring connection at the hazard block on the new switch to my old one. Wasn't even close. Ordered turn signal switch for a 70 but I'm not so sure all or most of the switches sold are...

Hate to be the first to say it, but there are numerous variables that will cause the issue that you're experiencing. You didn't state your base timing for one. Have seen too low of a setting cause many problems if the engine runs vacuum advance. Once the car is put into gear a slight loss of...

A $500-600 bill at the machine shop should be all that's required, for a reputable new block to be ready for assembly. That would cover line hone, minor deburring, hone lifter bores for clearance, cut deck to desired height, finish cylinders, and final wash. This is assuming that the block...

Be prepared to do some rework at the bumper recess area at back, unless you cut around and leave existing metal. Helped my brother with a set of Goodmarks and that's what we found.

Have owned numerous 500's and RT's thru the years, but have owned this one the longest. Got it in 83 off a fellow Marine that got called out onto a aircraft carrier. Too busy with other projects to even get her out of the garage this year.

I've wondered at times how much leniency they had in the industrial engine assembly department. Not only Chrysler, but Ford or GM. These multiple crank, and rod combos you wouldn't think should still be around in these later motor homes. In the mid nineties a 460 Ford was brought to my engine...

Don't write off the engine as all smog, cast internals yet. My advice is to look at the balancer on the engine to see if its the old skinny one used on steel cranks, or the wide one used 72 on for cast cranks. I have picked up numerous of these motor home engines after 72 build date on the cheap...

Super Rob, this is the product we used. There is a black and a grey powder in the kit, but we only ever used the black as it worked real good. Here are a couple pics of how the repairs were made. Someone out there could have a better idea of attacking these repairs, but this worked for my...

Got the grills in the car right before winter, and took it out for a few test drives. I was really happy with how straight the car drove, and the smooth ride. I must of took a picture after putting the headlight surrounds on, or whatever you call them, but not one with the grills in.

I didn't get the B done before winter as I had hoped. Was just too busy with work, and honestly just put the few things that needed done on back burner too long. The car was pretty much done by summer except for the grills, brake switch issue, and making a new 70 correct Ac discharge and...

Evan, were you able to come up with the wind deflectors you asked about ? I saw this post last week and thought I might have a set of these but forgot to look. Noticed them sitting on the hood of one of my brothers cars today when over there working but forgot to take a pic before I left. If...
