    OH @#$%!!! Trans Leak At Throttle Shaft Seal! @#$%! @#$%!! @#$%!!!

    Even after all that,I'm still not un-pissed. OK,gentlemen...How difficult is it to replace the throttle shaft seal on a Torqueflite? What was a very slight leak has turned into a @#$%ing gusher,and it looks like it's at the t.s. seal. The manual really isn't thorough in its explanation,so I...

    How To Remove A/C From Under a '64 Plymouth Dash

    OK;I'm tired of trying to deal with my wiring issues under the dash,and have all the a/c equipment in my bloody way. Short of a torch or a Sawzall(don't tempt me...),is this stuff easy to remove? My manuals(both an original and a repro) show absolutely nothing about removing this crap,and I'd...

    Electric Choke Causing Voltage Drop?

    Gawd I HATE @#$%ing electrical issues.:angryfire: Throwing wrenches at the problem won't solve it.:sad3: It also can (bleep)-up the paint. So;I've got the carb choke wired into the fuse box under the dash,where it's only on(supposedly) when the key is on. Well...it also seems to be a draw on...

    Some Fine Rides From A Couple Of Shows Today.

    Yes;I'm still around... Just dealing with some personal and health-related issues. Had a seizure on the 4th,still waiting to get into a neurologist to find out what the hell the trigger was. I have no history of this,so I'm at a loss. On some meds right now,and no relapse. Laura and I jumped...

    Chrysler Employees Charity Show! LOTS of pics!

    Fired up the lovely Sabrina and motored down to the Chrysler Employees show at the Chrysler Museum. Incident free,except for losing my driver's side mirror-just the housing and mirror,not the stand-on I-75 southbound. Even went back to look for it,and it was nowhere to be found. Switched the...

    Dick Trickle Passed Away Earlier Today

    I know Rich C. usually does these,but this one is not humorous. Dick Trickle died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound earlier today. He had called a 911 operator and informed that person that they should send officers to a Charlotte,N.C. cemetery where they would find his body. I don't...

    Machining Piston Pin Holes from .990 to 1.094-Any Potential Issues?

    OK,here's the deal...Machine shop can't get bushing material to bush my rods down to .990";not a big deal,IMO. But...my Venolia pistons are .990 pin size and I don't want to drop big buck$ on new slugs. Seems to me that machining the material out for the larger pins shouldn't be a big deal-or is...

    A Week Without A Cigarette-Nobody's In Danger. Yet.

    OK;I've "quit" numerous times in the past 30+ years,only to lose my mind over some BS and start again. At my advanced age,it's time to do it for good. I've chewed a forest worth of toothpicks and am using a patch;well,patches(one per day) and so far,so good. As long as my daughter doesn't drive...

    Upgrading to a better,faster unit;which at my age is not a bad thing...I meant the computer. The other unit works just fine... Getting a newer computer with Windows 7,anti-virus protection and such. Shutting this unit down and unhooking it in a few. I'll be away from here for a couple of...

    Is A 904 Behind A Poly Motor The Same As An LA Small-Block Trans?

    I've got a 904 trans that came with the 318 Poly I have,and would like to rebuild it to sell. Before I decide to invest in that,I'd like to know if they're the same as the ones behind the later LA small-blocks,from an internal component standpoint. No sense doing it if parts aren't available. As...

    (Slightly)Used Forged Pistons-Thoughts And Opinions

    As I've often stated,I'm trying to do things on a tight budget. I know cheap isn't always good,but once on a while... A couple of years ago,I picked up a set of used Venolia +.030 slugs at a very good price-with pins and Spirolox. Supposedly only used for a short time on a dyno,until...
