Gorilla ladder palm lock rebuildable?
By Ron_M
Was wondering if anyone has repaired / rebuilt the palm lock on a gorilla ladder? Google And the gorilla website searches not revealing much. The barrell insert separated from joint.

Came off my 67 Barracuda with a 273. I bought the pump little over 5 years ago before I tore the car down. Been sitting on the shelf since. Also, the hose that was on it. $30 plus the ride from Butte, MT

My current setup is a Dr Diff 15/16" manual brake master, with an old SSBC disk brake conversion up front, with 68 Mustang pads and the Dr Diff 10.7" rear disk setup with 03 cobra pads on it. The car brakes ok, I can lock up the front brakes, but it sure isn't easy. When I am braking heavily, the car doesn't have that deceleration feel like the brakes are really grabbing. It almost feels like I'm coasting to a stop, or locking them up, there's no in between. I know its manual... Read more

Haven't driven the car in several months. Leave trickle charger on battery. Electric holley blue pump is on switch in dash. Turned on pump no problem. Turn key to run position, no problem. As soon as the key is in start position I hear a click and dome light goes off. No power for lights or anything. After 15 minutes dome light comes back on, headlights work. Turn key to start again, hear click and lose all power. Battery is in the trunk. Wire ran to starter for power. Other than that all... Read more

I...may not be selling my 73 Duster after all. I might be fixing it...so I want to avoid the screw-ups that result in thrown tools. Current setup is a Magnum 360 with an Edelbrock Air Gap intake, AVS carb, bogus 6bbl air cleaner, and stock hood with a Demon scoop. I want to replace this with a flat hood...but that Air Gap intake is tall. The question is: will the Air Gap intake clear a stock Duster hood? It's not clear with the current setup, but it looks like it would be VERY close. Anyone... Read more

Hi there. 1971 Swinger with the 73+ front disc / rear drum upgrade that I’ve been running for over ten years. Recently, I replaced the master cylinder and the proportioning valve/brake warning switch, both of which I got from Dr Diff. That was about 500 miles ago, and no problems since UNTIL just a few days ago. I had set my parking brake, and, as usual, the bright red idiot light on the dash illuminated. Later in the evening, I started her up, released the parking brake, and the idiot... Read more

New to the Mopar "muscle" scene but not new to wrenching on projects. I traded a Harley Ultra Classic 100th Anniversary for a 72 Dart Swinger that needs some work but is close to road worthy! The family is a Chevy blooded family so I'm going against the grain with this Dart. Lots of reading to still be done as nothing is similar to the chevy stuff we have worked on for years. No crazy plans for the Dart, it's getting a rear end built by AZ Differential (Nate) this week and hoping to get... Read more

He's been racing roundy rounds for a long time. The engines he has are pretty big horsepower And one exotic (imo) small block on a stand. He even built some crazy Toyota Land Cruisers... Cool stuff.

I've owned my car since 1977 and it was all original except for the wheels And Tires . through my research I have found that the j-81 spoiler that is called out on the fender tag is supposed to be non-existent option on A body in 1970 would like any other 340 swinger owners 1970 that have a j-81 factory spoiler on the fender tag to let me know. Thank you

I have a 97 360 block that's been through 2 divorces waiting patiently for me. I'm in process of doing a hard blok fill. I noticed no drilled oil feeds from cam to heads. I need head oiling running solid roller lifters and T&D shaft rockers which were also waiting . How do I fix ?

Trying to make a new fuel line to accept the Edelbrock carburetor installed , and making these beads suck to do half way right , and with fuel I did not want leaks , but the bead tools are pricey , I ended up buying the Parker hand bead tool 416 , believe they were made during WW2 , but unsure , but the Graham tool was over $300 with shipping and the Earl's EZ-Beader part #008ERL is sub par at best an close to $100 ,, so I got the vintage parker hand bead tool off ebay for $150 but guess I...

Starting on a 69 Valiant build for street/strip and drag-n-drive, bought the car with 318 and a 904 transmission. Decided to go with a 470 hp 408..will a properly rebuilt 904 trans survive or should I start looking for a 727 to have built? TIA

Having lived all my life in SoCal, starting from the beginning of school age I've been a fan of Daylight Saving Time since it always provided additional outside play time after school and during the summer. Growing up it also provided more time after work to get something done outside. Standard Time usually meant starting the workday just after the sun came up and going home as the sun went down leaving only the weekends to enjoy being outside. As we get older we develop a fairly general... Read more

Did Cragar ever make a SS wheel, 15 x 7, 4.5 bolt circle, and 4.5 backspace? Thanks in advance.

I started to disassemble my 69 M code fastback today. Numbers matching, pretty original car. It was the great Big Block Dave’s car that I purchased from Cuda Dave. Car was hit in the front and the front clip was replaced. From what I can tell the car is completely original from there . So two questions for all of the M code experts. 1. Car is a second batch car with a build date of 302 on the data tag, when where these cars actually built . The 5.5 rims on the car are dated 4/10/69... Read more

I’m going to paint a car T7 copper bronze. It seems like a rare color and I have never seen it on a dart. Was it offered on a dart? I’ve only seen it on a charger and a roadrunner.

This is a 383 in a 67 Cuda. Isn't the oil tube supposed to be outside of the manifold? I don't see how the existing tube could be. I have see some years between the head and the manifold. Do I just have the wrong tube? Thanks.

I want to document what I'm doing. This process started a while back so, I'll try to give a bit of summary... I purchased this car in 1996 when I was 16 years old. The vehicle was listed for sale in the local Peddlers Post. It was for sale about 90 minutes from where I lived. I gave my father the money and he went to look the car over. He decided it was worth the asking price of $900. So, he paid the man and drove it home. I had to work so, I was not along for the ride. Originally... Read more

so I've bought lot of decal kits from them.I have a friend who needs just the front fender decal for a 71 demon. They said I could only by complete sides? I'm thinking if someone just hits their front fender, you should be able to just buy one panel? Thoughts ?
