Yesterday a young lady brings me a hurt 440 out of her expensive 70 resto mod Charger that she recently purchased. The engine has under 400 miles and suffered some major damage because whoever built it missed the mark on the details. One clearly missed detail is a rocker arm spacer on the...

On my own car, the 69 RR with a 426MW short block, 915 heads and an OEM iron 6BBL setup, I have logged about 10,000 miles so far and not so much have turned a screw once I sorted out the center carb. For anyone interested, my combo is mild but it makes very good power for a street car that can...

Another project I did for that same car is the oil pan sump. The pan is a custom unit built by the original builder but it developed a leak so I was tasked to remove it and fix the leak. Upon investigation, I saw that the pan had a second plate welded to the bottom to apparently seal a leak in...

Yeah, it's been a while since I checked into this motel room and happy to see some of the same characters from way back. I've been quite busy with multiple things including moving, moving my business (twice) and car jobs for other people. You know what they say about the shoe maker. Here...

Just a quick note that I recently made contact with a car guy who is moving from So Cal to the Stockton area and finds himself traveling empty on one trip or another. He has maybe six more trips to go. If someone needs something big moved PM me and I'll get you in touch. Today I'll be...

Listing for a friend in OR 97544. I followed this build from the beginning and know it's a solid piece. Mike is also a reputable guy. Why am I not buying it? Because I already have two. Depending on the buyers location, I can deliver in the Bay Area or about anywhere in CA north of the...

Out of Long Island. I spoke to him today about buying some parts and he seems legit. But before I hand him over a good chunk of change I just want to know if anyone has done business with him and was it positive? He seems like a hell of a cool guy who simply makes a buck finding and selling...

Just seeing a few options and wondering if anyone has experience with some of these new units. Years ago all we had was the OEM power lock 4 pinion carriers that were not terribly hard to find but now it seems many outfits are making them. The cone units of old would like to drop the spider...

Hey there, it's been about 35 years since I been into one of these (mostly 4 speeds lately) and I'd like some input on what may be going on here. Pretty sure I have all the parts installed and correctly but I have a lot of input shaft end play. Like a shitload. Tail shaft is in and tight with...

Building a low block 426 for a guy and so far the compression is calculated to be ~9.4:1. .060" over (4.31") with 3.75" stroke and nearly zero deck piston with valve reliefs, small bore chamfer, comp gasket. I'm trying to target about 9.8-10:1 to keep it CA swill friendly with aluminum. If...

Saw this in Fremont over the weekend and had to get a picture. Most of us are really lacking in auto customization so this hopefully gets the creative juices flowing. If your car has a grass skirt you might be a........

Not a B Body but it was fun to flip the page and see my car. This is the current issue featuring a cool on going story driving in a 70 RR on a cross country trip. By the way this was not a car show in San Mateo but in Alameda (near Oakland) over a year ago. Here is the same car (with all my...

This is an original Chrysler Dodge Plymouth A12 1969 1/2 aluminum 6BBL intake from a Road Runner or Super Bee. P/N 3412046. The problem is it has some cracks around the heat crossover area. I've seen this on older Edelbrock intakes of various types and most people run them with the heat cross...

My band friends Dirty Cello needed a blues song to show a local concert promoter and they thought my shop would be the perfect setting for a blues video. First one to name all the parts in the background gets two free Dirty Cello tickets! Look at the pic and see if you can spot my gift to...

This is the second time I worked with a local guy who supplies cars for TV and movies and enlists me as a driver in background scenes and general moving of cars from set to set. Something different and kind of fun but a lot of standing around doing nothing too! Since he knows I'm a MoPar guy...

Or perhaps the best??? Anyway, thought this was interesting. http://www.networkworld.com/article/2956574/microsoft-subnet/windows-10-privacy-spyware-settings-user-agreement.html Buried in the service agreement is permission to poke through everything on your PC. The usual bumps...
