    70 air grabber clearance problems

    By drwlcox

    Hey all 70 RR air grabber owners. I’ve got a bit of a problem maybe someone else has ran into. My hood sticks up in the rear a bit more than I’d like to live with when latched. I have a 77 cast 440 installed. I’m sure the height of the block isn’t any different than a 69/70 cast block. My intake is an Edelbrock performer 440 which may have some effect over stock height. I have a typical carb insulator (1/4”) under the factory Carter 4740. I would love to gain about 3/16 to 1/4” to allow the... Read more

    2005 Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner 2wd 4.0l V6 The truck has 249k on the odometer it is a work truck in fair to decent shape. The pictures with the camper shell are from when this truck was used as a working beast. I had to weigh the truck down with a camper shell to keep the front wheels on the ground. It has GPS so you can locate your friends broken down truck. It can cleanly navigate you through some of the largest trailer parks in the south. Truck was used as a work truck. So it is not...

    Send in a vet nurse...

    By SteveSS

    ...My daughter is frustrated with the recent failure at an execution. She said send in a vet nurse. They use the same drugs and they know what they're doing. They are experts at ending an animal's suffering. Sometimes she hears, 'Oh I couldn't do your job. I love animals too much.' She does this job BECAUSE she loves animals.

    Thank you Mr. Troy for wearing your safety vest.

    By Charles Cook

    Long story short, in our area we have this homeless guy that pushes his cart and walks on the edge of the roadway all the time, day and nights. His name is Troy. He’s a very nice and respectful guy. When I see him walking close to the roadway it worries me for his safety. So yesterday I stopped and gave him some refreshments out of my cooler that I keep in my truck. I also gave him my safety vest and asked him to please wear it when he’s walking down the road. Well low and behold I seen him... Read more

    Need help identifying brake booster

    By QRindustries

    I got no clue what this thing is called, I know its a midland ross style brake booster but when i try to search it online i only get bulkier models. there is a hissing sound when i press te pedal, same as when i run the engine. the booster itself still holds some vacuum so i doubt that its a major leak but i would like to try and fix it myself. the vehicle is a dodge coronet custom from 1973. from what i know no one reproduces these boosters anymore.

    Crankshaft drill

    By Nathan1965

    I’m putting a aluminum overdrive transmission behind my 383 in my 65 Dodge coronet i’m 99% sure my crank is not drilled for a four speed I’ll add a picture for reference. How much should I have to cut off the input shaft to make it fit with the Napa bearing? I am of course gonna wait to cut it because I’m using an aftermarket bell housing from American powertrain

    440 timing mark: cause of issues?

    By kaj750

    I've been chasing a detonation issue with my car, for a while now. Previous owner was also, judging my his receipts. Could this have contributed to the problem? Timing gear has keyways for 4A, 4R, and 1R. I'd think 1R would make sense, but HOPING it's wrong because I'm otherwise out of ideas of why the engine detonates. There was a decent amount of slack in the chain, which is why I'm changing it. Video linked above picture.

    Alignment at home and aftermarket UCAS too.

    By Kern Dog

    I think that I've been fooled. I've used the same alignment shop for my Charger and my truck for years. Each time, I've told them I want as much caster as is possible. With the Charger, I want .75 degree of negative camber and 1/8" toe in. The last time I had it aligned was February 2023. It was a custom alignment so I had to pay by the hour, to the tune of $160. I got no printout but the man said he got 5.5 degrees of caster on the right and 5.0 on the left. .75 negative camber and... Read more

    Doing a swap and need advice

    By MTGW

    Hello, I am attempting to do a drivetrain swap in my 1971 Charger. It currently has a 318/904. I want to swap to a 360/727. My question is, for the 727, does the tailhousing length matter? I was told that it does and have passed on a few 727s because they have the long tailhousing (18”) and have been told to only try and get the 11” because that is the only one that will fit properly. Is this true or am I overthinking it? In my area I can only find 727s that came out of vans for the most... Read more

    Chrysler Historical Society - Decoding of my 67 GTX

    By 67GTX440

    I just got back information from the ChryslerCenter front seat and Historical Society for the $40 I sent them for build research on my 67 GTX. They sent the original build punch card that is mostly unreadable and what they determined to be the option decoding. It looks pretty accurate with the exception of the following: Car is shown as PBX trim - Black Vinyl - Bucket Seats. This is correct. It also shows Tachometer 7 Yes. This is correct. They also show Seats 5 - Center front seat and... Read more

    Is this the correct wheel stud??

    By Jim69coronet

    The new wheel stud that I'm trying to use will not fully seat. I want to replace the rear LH threaded studs with RH studs. I'm using NAPA 641-1610 studs. I will admit that I probably read the post wrong and these studs are not correct. I'm using that slick stud installation tool but the stud will not seat. It is about 1/8" from fully seating. I belive the post said this stud was correct for the 8.75 axle but I have a 8.25 axle in a 1969 Coronet with a 383. Are the studs different sizes for... Read more
