Having fabricated and installed hitches, I'm sure our cars are capable of hauling trailers in the range of two tons and a bit more. A weight equalizing hitch with sway control and proper trailer brakes are necessary. 3.23 gear is a big plus. Having said this, remember the age of our cars and be...

Is the battery negative grounded to the engine and the engine grounded to the firewall (body) behind the right cylinder head? If so, is the ground to the body good? I have solved problems in the past by replacing a frayed cable and/or cleaning up connections at this area. On one car, I even...

A relay does not eliminate power demand. Think of the starter. It is the heaviest load in the whole system. If it did not recieve that heavy current, it could not crank the engine. That circuit contains a starter relay which lessens the load in the starter switch and, along with the solenoid...

Great work, great project! I'm not sure how old you are, but we are not teenagers! Look after yourself. At 71, I say I can still do most things I used to do- it just takes longer! Lindsay

In 1993, I drove my '66 Fury from Moncton through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and home. I should mention that I was hauling my 18' travel trailer. In all those miles, I...

Businesses are profit motivated- They need to be, or they would not survive. That being said, stringing a customet along is unethical. Someone, somewhere will have a lead on a good shop or even a good engine. Keep moving forward, you have come too far to turn back now! Such a cool project needs...

I have observed the harness wrappiing tape as well as the fabric tape. Are these available, if so where? Thanks for the info! Lindsay

Splicing tape is probably better than hockey tape. It valcanizes to itself and becomes pretty much a solid wrap of rubber. 3M makes one brand. It comes in a roll with a plastic ribbon between the layers. Should be available at any electrical supply company. If I can remember, I will get more...

Since we're grasping at straws here, here's another straw! Seems that the splash to lube the back of the gear/front of the block would be from the front cam bearing. Is it possable that the oil supply to that bearing is restricted or absent? If, when the chain and gears are off, you removed the...

Two thoughts. I'm sure you have had a good look at the inside of the timing chain cover, right? Second, if the cam is warped or the face the gear mates with is not true, it could cause the gear to "wobble". Sounds like you are already suspecting this. You might check for this with the cover off...

I'm "old school" in almost everything. I admit to being that. Painting the rad black is probably the best plan. My question is as to the consequences of adding another metal to the system. I like what you are doing. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Lindsay

Can you explain the j-bolt nuts, please? Thanks. Lindsay

Always remember that if someone else can do it, you can too. All you need is the knowledge, tools and determination. Ask questions, read your FSM, and be patient. We are all still learning and most are willing to help each other. FSM is available at mymopar.com. Questions are answered here. Have...

Honda was in gear, brain in neutral! Same happened to me a couple years ago. Hagerty was great. Lindsay

In my experience, our cars use group 24C or 27C batteries. The 24F and 27F have the posts on opposite ends for "F"ord vehicles. The battery cables on a Mopar will probably not reach the posts. Something to check out. Lindsay

I have had less than great results re-lubing dry bushings in small electric motors. As this seems, in my experience, to be the most common problem, any tips or instruction would be appreciated. Lindsay

I like NeverSeize. What do you think? LC

My solution: Nobody eats or drinks in my car! Lindsay

I'm hoping someone will post some pics and maybe a verbal answer. If Dave and I both need this, there are probably others who need it too. Thanx in advance. Lindsay
