    Is there an adapter for original air cleaner to new carb size?

    Mancini has 4 different base only options for both 13" and 14" filter elements. I'm not sure, but don't you need a 13"? Air Cleaner Bases

    Headers vs Manifolds

    Big Block Mopar Tri-Y Under Chassis Headers I used them on a '68 Dart with a mild 440 15 years ago. They looked great and performed great for a street car! I was able to make the head pipes easily with some 2 1/2" pre-made mandrel bend assortment I had. I had chrome (which is no longer...

    Exhaust Kit or Pay a Pro

    Accurate says it's discontinuing C body exhausts on its website: "Note: We are discontinuing "C" body components. Call if you do not see your application listed and we will check inventory for availabilty" The complete system from Accurate is over $1600, but the tailpipes by themselves are...

    WANTED Any 3 speed autos with torque convertor for my '57 Plymouth Savoy 301

    Are you looking for functioning? I have a Torqueflite in a '57 Dodge that's been sitting since the 80's, unknown condition.

    Filler neck grommet install.

    I recommend the '70 and up grommets. They have 2 sealing surfaces and seem more flexible. I've installed 3 completely trouble free vs others I've used. They should fit C bodies, but check the dimensions first. Mopar B Body 70 & E Body 70-74 Fuel Gas Tank Grommet 3404182

    Dream shop....your opinions

    Lots of builds over on Garagejournal.com will put the tubing in the slab (for floor heat) so it's there in the future if funds allow to complete the system. I would look into the cost of that, probably not too much, and I would consider that mandatory in Canada. As for paint on the floors, if...

    Yukon pumpkin

    The listing says it doesn't come with a yoke? Seems odd. BTW, I too noticed the 3rd members on Dr. Diff site were always on backorder so I clicked on the comment box and asked when they'll be in stock. He texted back saying they're built to order, so I ordered mine through text with him. Got it...

    Greetings and question about Imperial 59 start-up!

    Does it still crank ok with the spark plugs in, but with the ignition disconnected? If so, try retarding the timing. But I've read those old direct drive starters are troublesome. Good advice given above to oversize the cables.

    “Easy” oil change drain plug

    The 2 cons for me are: 1. Some sediment and oil will remain in the oil pan since the drain hole is slightly higher now 2. Slower draining My lawn mower engine has something similar, but it's plastic, and I have to go find the hose for it when it's time to drain the oil. It's mounted...

    Are these rockers useable?

    I'm no expert, but the one I've seen fail had the pushrod push the whole dome off. It left a perfect circle. I would inspect at the base of the dome on all of those. I've read that over the years, some manufacturers used thinner metal. And it looks to me like the ones you have labeled 2HT+ are...

    Superbird Barn Find Plus Many Slab Sides

    Thanks for posting that. It's refreshing to not have to listen to someone ramble on for 15 minutes while they're driving to their destination, which is far too common on Youtube. A little over a minute in and he was already showing us the good stuff!!!

    Pulling rear drum on my 57 Belvedere, which one?

    I haven’t tried this, but I’ve read you can loosen the nuts by one turn and drive the car in a figure 8 to pop the hubs loose. Worth a try.

    383 differences per year

    I thought they kept the bosses on later blocks and just didn't drill and tap them, due to not having to modify/replace the molds?
