    My new transmission mount doesn't fit

    I bought a new transmission mount from "energy suspension" because i need to replace mine. After pulling the old one out we noticed that the new one is 1cm (0,39") HIGHER than the old one. It would only be possible to install that by using force/pressure and it would also move the...

    Bent power steering pulley

    Working on my 1969 dodge charger r/t 440 auto w/ac i noticed the power steering pulley seems to be bent. It's also misaligned with the crank pulley at the bottom of the engine. (I guess due to the fact that its bent) See pictures (looks worse in person): I wonder what i should do about...

    Don't swap in a modern engine or efi for driveability

    I often read or see people saying that modern engines (ls, gen3 hemi etc.) or retrofitting efi gives them so much better (daily) driveability and use this as a reason for the swap. I really can't understand this. I've been daily driving old fashioned carbureted cars (even with manual operated...

    Lead additives vs Lead substitutes

    What would you use and why? I was reading misc opinions on the substitutes. Some people seem to have experienced valve failure despite they used a substitute. This is why i tend to use a real lead additive like this one: But man, read those instructions on the can. they scare me quite a bit...
