I’ve been shopping leaf springs and noticed that the Mopar Performance Hemi springs are actually one of the cheaper options. I’m not really interested in the right spring bias but like the idea of a heavier spring and I assume they are USA made. I was thinking to buy two left springs. (sort of...

I’m looking to build a 727 lifting fixture made from an old pan. I’m planning to weld a piece of 11 gauge plate to the bottom of the pan and then weld a short pin to the plate that will fit my floor jack. Ideally I’d like to place the pin fairly close to the actual center of gravity. I’m...

I was helping a buddy with a 70 Coronet wiring diagram and if I was interpreting the legend correctly, the battery cable was shown as 6 gauge. Did the factory actually use that light of cable? Seems like a #6 cable would get mighty warm cranking a 440.

I looking for an inexpensive alignment tool that I can use for “roughing in” the front end alignment until I can get to a shop. I’d also like to be able to use it to do a quick check on my daily drivers after I’ve hit a pot hole. It looks like most of them function the same with 3-point...

I swapped out LH studs for RH studs this weekend and much to my surprise I was able to knock the studs out with a small ball pein after drilling/grinding out the material near the swedge. I first cut the studs off with a cut-off wheel, then carefully center punched, next drilled about 1/2” deep...

I picked up on this tip on a Jeep forum. It’s no DP90, but as rattle can paint goes John Deere blitz black is fairly tough and has a nice semi gloss finish. It’s also available in quarts….requires a special thinner.

What’s the easiest way to remove the bearing collar and bearing from an 8 3/4 axle? Would running a bead of weld around the OD of the collar expand it or shrink it on tighter? I know the weld trick works great on bearing cups but that’s welding on the ID to shrink the OD.

I’m considering a Pertronix billet distributor mainly because I want a cap with male terminals and I like the idea of it being self contained. Looking for some feedback on quality of construction, reliability, etc. I’m leaning toward the Ignitor 3 version that has multiple spark and a rev...

Just rec’d Energy Suspension poly ball joint boots. I suppose the polyurethane is more durable than rubber, but they seem a lot more flimsy than the OEM style. The old boots had a metal ring at the bottom so they seat properly on the body of the joint. The new lower boot fits okay, but the top...

My first post, I probably have more questions than answers, but will try to contribute when I can. I have some NOS upper control arm bushings that I’m debating on whether to use or not. I know they’ve been on the shelf for at least 25 years and probably more like 30. The rubber still feels...
