Wilwood discs on all 4 corners of my 64 dodge. Manual master cylinder. Front brakes bleed fine. Out of the rear, I get nothing but air bubbles. I have tried bleeding with the brake pedal and with a vacuum pump with the same result. I have bench bled the master. I have removed the bleeder...

Currently my car has Hub centric wheels mounted to Strange Axles (lug nuts fit "through" wheel) . I want to change the look to a more classic look and ordered some new rims. These are lug centric (lug nuts are conical). Is there an issue mounting lug centric wheels to these axles? The wheel...

I have a couple questions about dual batteries when wired in parallel. First, when hooking up to a battery tender, would the leads go from the positive of one battery to the negative of the other? In case I ever need to jump start the car, same question...are the cables hooked up positive on...

In my 69RR, I will be dropping the trans next week and replacing it. There may be a couple of days between the time the old trans comes out and the new one goes in. Are there any precautions I need to take to support the motor while the trans is out? Or are the motor mounts and torque strap...

...and where can I get them? I checked the Classic Industries site as well as Dante's and could not find anything that looked like them. I am missing these two rubber "bumpers" on the passenger side and need to get a couple.

What is the best way to get jack stands under all four corners to get the car up in the air. I have had the front up, and the back up, but never the whole car at once. It seems like it would get very unstable jacking the front up and putting jack stands under the frame behind the front wheels...

I have been chasing an exhaust leak since reinstalling my newly rebuilt motor (440) in my 69 RR. I am still running stock manifolds. What is the easiest way to chase the leak? I am thinking of using my leaf blower to push air into my exhaust pipe and then spray some soapy water around the...

I have a leak in the power steering of my 69 RR. I used the flourescent dye and tracked the leak down to the pressure side fitting at the steering box. I replaced the pressure side line when I was doing the recent engine rebuilt. The leak is coming from the threads and through the top of the...

OK, this seemed like it would be a easy job, replace the alternator on my 440. Picked up a replacement last night from Napa, started install after lunch today, figure it would be an hour job, tops. Everything went on fine until I attempted to install the tension bracket. The 5/16 X 18 bolt...

OK, I'm stuck...mostly because of my lack of knowledge regarding anything related too electrical componets. My motor (73 440) was running an orange box with an electronic ignition (distributor with tan cap) prior to rebuild. After rebuild there is an MSD Ready-to-run distributor installed. I...

So i am almost done reinstalling motor after it was out for a rebuild. When I took it apart, this blue wire with the 90degree fitting on the end was loose, not connected to anything. I have traced the wire and found that it originates at the back of the alternator. Please excuse the poor pic...

Is there a proper way to refill coolant to an engine that has been completely drained?

What is the correct color for a 440 in a 69 RR A-12 clone? Chrysler orange or Hemi orange? The shop doing the engine is asking as they prepare to paint the motor.

What I currently have is a 69RR built as a A-12 clone. I have a 73 440 block with iron heads (not sure right now which heads), HP manifolds, and a 6bbl set up. 727 Auto trans, dana 60 rear with 4.10 gears. I am about ready to pull the motor and send it off to the machine shop. At the end...

I have a 6bbl set up on the 440 in my 69 RR. The car runs great with plenty of power, but I am wondering about the set up of the vacuum lines. There is no vacuum advance hooked up to the distributor, and that is part of the reason for this post. Below are some pics of my set up and a set up...

I am going to do a compression test on my 440 tomorrow. A couple of questions.... Should ALL spark plugs be removed prior to testing? Is it necessary to shut off fuel to the carb prior to testing? If so, what is the best way to do so? Finally, what would a good range of pressure readings be...

The newness is starting to wear off and my wife is starting to get annoyed! I have had my 69 RR for a couple of months now. I love it! It is an A-12 clone complete with the 440 6bbl. After driving when I park it in the garage, I need to leave the garage door open with a couple of fans...
