    What does your spouse say?

    My buddy's wife says she had children so she wouldn't have to pump brakes any more.

    69 Air Grabber

    What color should the air cleaner lid be? I see them in orange, but it doesn’t look like hemi orange.

    Oil-thru pushrods

    I'm working on a 440. Stock manifolds, 440 Stealth heads, Comp Cams XE262H-10 cam and lifters, Comp Cams Ultra Pro Magnum adjustable roller rockers. I need shorter pushrods- 9.100", which I ordered from Smith Bros. They came today, and unfortunately, are drilled for oil-thru. I saw posts here...

    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.

    11" brake backing plates

    Are backing plates from an 8 3/4 axle different from backing plates on a Dana 60?

    Dana 60 to 8 3/4 swap

    On a 69 GTX, if a Dana 60 axle was swapped out to an 8 3/4, would the driveshaft length remain the same? I don't have the Dana available to measure and compare. Thanks.

    “Scat Pak” tool box

    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?

    Good footwear

    I've been cursed my entire life with poor feet. My feet are flat, and I've always worn arch supports. I've worn Red Wing work shoes since high school, they utilized a steel shank and were the most supportive work shoe I could find. But now, 50 years later, they've gotten away from the steel...

    AFR Meter

    I am looking to purchase an AFR meter, so I'm looking for some recommendations. I don't intend to permanently install it in the car, just want to check and adjust my set-up, then put a plug in the weld-in bung. Looking forward to some input.

    Six pack rods I.D.

    Could someone post pictures or a description of the difference between standard 440 rods and six pack rods? Thanks

    69 GTX BuilD Sheet

    I don't have any history for this car, but hopefully someone can answer my questions from the attached build sheet. Is this originally a power brake car? Should it have headrests? Anything stand out? Especially interested in upgrading the brakes, as they don't operate well. Thanks
