Yeah, the jackass is in such a hurry to get some video of the shrapnel under the car, so he can get some more "YouTube gold", that he can't take the time to grab a jack stand when he brings out the jack ! How famous he would be if that jack failed and his customer was crushed. Then the idiot...

I was there, but missed both those guys. Too busy looking for old, used crap I guess.

Yep, my trans guy reminds me to check gap every time I pick up a trans. All makes. He blames it on the reman convertors these days.

You ain't kidding ! What a nightmare. Had a couple learning experience's with the blowproof. Also had a situation with register size. Didn't realize when I initially mated trans to bellhousing that register in housing was bigger diameter than my '67 trans. Ended up ruining front bearing in 18...

Just an FYI, when I changed to a Hays billet flywheel, I had to add a spacer to fork pivot bracket to make up for thinner flywheel thickness. NOT an easy job installed in car with big tube headers !!! Best to measure and do it at install. My understanding is that Centerforce billet flywheel ($$)...

I was just checking out this same subject thread on FABO. I think you might get more feedback on that site.

If you're having trouble getting fill plug out, just wait until you start pumping out old gear lube......

If I am running a thermostat, I always drill an 1/8" air bleed hole in it before install. Helps with initial fill/ air pocket problems.

Chrysler used to have a little Ball Stud Hemi display set-up, including a complete engine, at the WPC museum. Saw it a couple times. And yes the only running example was in Hoover:s Barracuda, but I am pretty sure the engine was actually owned by a different well known Chrysler guy, but I can't...

Every 440 I own that isn't running ( 3 of them ) are standard bore. I don't believe they are hard to find. None of them will stay standard bore. If I had a standard bore 426 Hemi, I could sell it and buy stroker kits for all the 440's !

There you go, those are the 413 RV heads I saw. Guess I was wrong about the valve covers, sorry.

They did put a 413 cubic inch motor in RV's. It was pretty easy to identify, as I believe, they had sort of scalloped valve covers like the old poly 318's. Saw a few sets of these heads at a junkyard I worked at in the late 80's/ early 90's.

Are you running a standard Wix filter or a Race Wix filter ? BIG difference.

There were some 975 late model heads I believe. Maybe you got them mixed up with 915's ? 67's were 2780915.

Bought a cloyes set for a customer's 318 from Advantage a couple weeks ago. After install it had more chain slop than the 100k mile original I took off. Bought same set from O'Reilly's and it was ok. Funny that the Cloyes packaging was completely different between the two sets I bought. Probably...

Yes. Electrical wire would go to gauge/ light in dash.

My trans builder cautions me almost every time I take him a trans ( mostly GM's) to check gap and shim if necessary or pump failure could result. Have only had to shim a couple. Depends on the convertor.

The word "overkill" comes to mind. I had a customer come in once that was looking for torque specs for fender, hood, trunk lid, etc, bolts for an old Ford pick-up. Father and son project that has been delayed going back together for three weeks while Dad looked for those specs. He was determined...

Wouldn't the point of this test be to see if your crankcase ventilation system was working properly ? So how could you determine that by blocking everything off ?? I believe that anything spinning in a confined area is going to create pressure, so even if you blocked off all ventilation and had...

Some aftermarket clutch assemblies require removal of over center spring.
