I found a pr of small block J heads for sale and I'm wondering if there's any performance to be gained over my stock '76 360 heads. For the price ($200/pr) I'm assuming stock 1.88" intake valves, although the ad does say they've been ported. Without an in-person look-see I have no idea how much...

Last Saturday night I managed to blow the living crap out of my radiator (weak anti-freeze, very cold, etc, etc). I found a brand new Spectre rad on Amazon.com for 90 bux, only 2 left, regularly $405 so I had the lovely, beautiful, and talented Mrs Yuma order it for me because she has more perks...

Are there any of youz guyz in the PDX area that would be willing to let me borrow or rent an outboard-type gas tank? This is to bypass the crudded-up tank in a 66 PowerWagon that I'm buying...only a temporary, short term deal. I thought about just dropping the fuel line into a 5 gal gas can, but...

I'm a few mos past due for an upgrade on my phone, but I'm not much of a techie and my eyes kind of glaze over and I start daydreaming when the phone-store cutie starts rattling off alphabet-soup phone jargon. Any of you tech-savvy people have a new-phone suggestion for me? I have an HTC...

I've made a tentative offer to a guy selling a 66 PowerWagon, but I need to get it running where it sits before I drop any real money on it. He says it was running when it was parked after the owner died several years ago, and hasn't been started or even turned over since. I tend to believe him...

...there's others on here, and I've read most of em, but figured another one couldn't hurt, right. That's what we're here for. Besides, the newest one I've read was from 2012. I've got a running 76 360 in my Cordoba that I want to rebuild. I'm hoping for a rings-and-bearings job, timing set...

Not a B-body, but an 81 Dodge Ram Im headed out to go look over. The guy says the clutch pedal doesn't come back up after you push it down, doesn't know why. Besides a broken/missing return spring, what would cause this? I don't even know if it has a hydraulic clutch or what...all my Rams have...

I recently had an intake gasket failure that put water into my oil. Following some suggestions I got here one FBBO I doused the heads and lifter valley with clean diesel fuel until it ran clear-ish out of the oil pan drain, buttoned it up, added oil and a filter, and ran it for about 10 min...

Has anyone been able to remove thier oil pan with the engine still in the car? I know the conventional wisdom is that ya gotta yank the motor, but there's some very resourceful people out there who turn CW on it's head sometimes. I've done it in trucks, I even replaced the mains on my RamCharger...

I installed new FelPro intake (and valve cover) gaskets yesterday and followed thier admonishments to install them dry w just a little hi-tack adhesive on the cork end-rails and a 1/4" bead of rtv in the corners. This is the first time I've actually used the cork end pieces, and the first time...

I'm looking for some 15x7 steelies for some snow-tires. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive. Some take-offs from a C body would probably do the trick. I also need to get some tires for em. Snow, M+S, smallish (28 or 29") all-terrain tires, doesn't really matter. Just need some booger-y-er tread...

I just noticed an odd glitch tonight as I was checking my tail lights, signals, etc using the reflection in the front window of my favorite convenience-store. Goes like this: brake then signal=all good. Signal then brake=no brake lights, signal continues to flash (either side). Either one will...

When I removed my non-functional cruise control I figgered swapping the two piece speedo cable with a new one piece unit would be a cinch. Uh...nope. The tranny end is a totally different deal and there's no way (that I can tell) to modify either the trans or the cable to work. I could expand on...

Does the tq converter spin in N? I think that's a "yes", but don't know for certain. Does the driveshaft? What about while rolling at, say, 45mph? If you go from D to N does the driveshaft keep spinning, freewheel, or just stop? How 'bout if I just throw it in P while I'm driving down the...

I'll try to keep this as concise as possible, but unlike the stupid Aamco ads on tv ("my car goes grunk grunk"....."its ya modulataaah". Thanks genius), it takes a lot of info to diagnose something as nebulous as a "weird vibration". I have a rythmic vibration (if this was a Harley and not a 76...

Ive been getting a weird vibration lately and I'm almost positive its from after the engine itself. I made a post with more details in the General Tech area, but I KNOW my trans mount is trashy so replacing it is on the agenda whether it's causing my viibration or not. RockAuto stocks two...

I dont know if this has been asked before, I couldnt find it anywhere on this forum but if someone has any information or references I'd sure appreciate it... Heres the deal...my 76 Cordoba is sitting in a place where I'd rather it not be. I cant find the one and only key for the ignition so I...

Fiat is releasing a new Super Bee. In thier attempt to stay true to the original concept there's no leather, no nav, no heated/cooled cupholders and no premium sound system. It's pretty much a stripped-down (for cost savings) SRT8. 470 hp 6.4, 5 sp auto, no adaptive shocks or forged wheels...

This ones for you later model guys...I'm needing some filler to help straighten-out the pieces between the bumper and body. I guess they're urethane or some such. They are supposed to follow the body lines and be as unnoticeable as possible but over time warp and distend. This is mostly on 75-up...

I drove the Cordoba to work the other day but it had gotten so dirty I had to run it through the car wash first. I knew the weatherstripping on the outside of the side windows was bad, but since I usually hand-wash the thing I never really noticed just how much water was pouring into the doors...
