    How are your Spark Plug Wires Routed?

    I had talked to Rick, but he wanted me to tell him the lengths I wanted. I didn't have any way to get a length until the wire was on the engine. 1/2" wrong measurement and the wire was wrong. Crimper from Summit made the end crimp perfectly. What I did was not cost effective, but I wanted a set...

    How are your Spark Plug Wires Routed?

    Forgot to tell you-- R&M aluminum holders. Re-bend mounting ears to change holding angle. Made my own aluminum spacers (3 inch long). Did not have much faith in the plastic ones in the R&M kit. Longer SHCS and Hi Temp covering from Mcmaster Carr. Hope this helps. PT in Tennessee

Used Accel Ceramic, ordered two sets of wires 135 and 90 degree, with only the spark plug ends on them. Got a set of good crimpers and did each wire individually. Also had to...

    Anyone use coal slag as blasting media?

    is it really coal slag, or is it crushed coal? You can get the crushed coal at Tractor Supply. it works as a good blast media, but it is sharp as a razor when blasting. I have used it on some old cast iron painted pieces, but never on a car! better have a full suit on to use it as it will cut as...

    Tourque converters..

    i don't know about the Hughes TC, but the 727 has no hydraulic circuitry to activate the lock up feature. the 4l60E (not mopar) in my 68 RR has a lockup converter, but has the computer control to activate the little piston that locks up the clutch IN the torque converter. just my 2 cents pt in...

    Can anyone tell me what the Thread/pitch on 1971 Charger Steering column shaft is?

    little info guys, slow down a little bit. it is 1/2" x 20. that is 1/2" major thread diameter x 20 threads per inch. 11/16 or 3/4" may be the hex size and that is the wrench size. it isn't any wonder that a 11/16 (diameter) x 20 nut costs so much, it would be over 1-3/8 diameter. go to a junk...

    Removing k-mem resulted in bolt head shearing, about to cut open the frame, options?

    maybe little help Every answer above is valid and good. don't look for a quick fix, patience is the key. Drill a small 1/4" hole in in the frame just above the broken bolt. start applying penetrating oil, take several days and do this each day several times. also a trick I learned from a old...

    Eos I worked for a local Chevrolet dealer while a senior in high school about 1973. I remember the was a small can of stuff call EOS (engine oil supplement) that we added to newly rebuilt or assembled engines called "Whale Tail Oil" that was later deemed not good for the whales, so they went to...

    Inner Frame Rail..... Coating - How to.......

    don't understand what the kero mix is supposed to do? If you don't want to see a detailed explanation, DO NOT read on, you may be wasting your time. First my 68 RR was on a rotisserie so working underneath was easy. I made several air blow nozzles with copper tubes to reach back in the frames...
