    What to do with crank imperfections?

    I dare to be different. If it is a budget rebuilt stock motor I would just fix those nicks and call it a done. Based on the marks on the bearings, those are still protruding and would require more sanding. One could carefully use even a fine file to knock the tops out and then polish those areas...

    Speedo shaft seal direction

    Lip towards where the oil is. Oil is trying to get out and it presses against the lip which then squeezes tighter on the shaft it is sealing.

    Greetings and question about Imperial 59 start-up!

    Check the cables and connectors. Those -50 starters are way underpowered when compared to later ones. My parents -59 dodge had similar issues which were mostly fixed with thick new cables and connectors (starter and block ground wire). Use atleast 50mm^2 cable for the starter. Also are you...

    mini starter fit issue

    If I recall right, that insulator thingie was basically used to relocate and reposition the connection posts and can be removed altogether. Or thats how I remember my starter had (5.9 magnum starter for a dodge truck). After removal, you can connect starter cables to the posts closer to starter...

    New c body trunk floor manufacturer?

    Oh crap, I already had my hopes up. Moparshop has been quite decent company, bit pricey but no problems in my previous purchases. I wonder where they have come up with the sherman brand name in the listing... Well, I have a bead roller so i guess that I should just get up my lazy butt and buy...

    AN hardline for fuel

    Thanks MEV, that was new to me that there are also 45degree JIC like fittings available, apparently those are called SAE fittings but they have same threads. This is quote from qchydraulics.com: "The most common flare fitting standards in use today are the 45° SAE style, and the 37° AN style...

    AN hardline for fuel

    I have used standard steel hydraulic piping with JIC flare as it is the same as used in AN fittings. Or basically the whole AN fitting system is just a "lightweigth" version of industry standard JIC fittings. So if you have some hydraulic shop nearby, you can get the items from there. Also the...

    Vibration!!

    One vote for the transmission mount. The new rubber mounts are incredibly poor quality. I wasted one in my Challenger in less than 5000 miles, went for polyurethane bushings after that. The sagged and ripped mount caused significant weird vibrations 50mph+ velocities. Also I think that bad...

    Help with 727 Kickdown Lever

    I'll buy that low deck M1 from you if you are selling and you would be willing to ship it to Finland. About that lever, it shouldn't be hard to cut and weld it back to original shape. Then some some magic with grinding disc and paint and it would be pristine again if you like to tinker.

    fuel pump question/problem....

    Have you checked with the new mechanical pump and rod that the pump is or isn't pumping anything if the line to the carb is disconnected? Didn't notice that from your previous post. I am just guessing here but you might also have a stuck needle in the carb in addition of the other already found...

    Anyone run an Edelbrock RPM Intake

    I had 800cfm Thunder. It worked perfectly with edelbrock performer 383 dual plane intake and milder cam but struggled with street dominator and hotter cam.

    Anyone run an Edelbrock RPM Intake

    I have SD on my 383 in a Challenger with 3.23 gears and about 2800 stall converter. It was a dog with edelbrock avs thunder down low but run great on high rpm. I switched to Holley by friend's recommendation and got **** load of low end grunt more and the same high end power. Now it rips the 275...

    Clean fuse block contacts

    Soak in thinner or brake cleaner to remove all oil and then overnight on citric acid or shorter dip into phosphoric acid. I guess that day or two in coca cola might do the job too after good degreasing. Remember to rinse well after acid dip. Could add some baking soda to rinse water to...

    For Sale Interior door insert for '71-'74 Charger or '70-'74 Challenger

    Sorry I misread and thought that it was a pair which would have been a real bargain! I think that I will pass as the shipping for only one vs pair is bit pricey and I would still have to find a second one from somewhere

    For Sale Interior door insert for '71-'74 Charger or '70-'74 Challenger

    I'll take those if still available. Can you check the shipping price to Finland? USPS is still probably the cheapest one.

    Broken bolt in thermostat housing....

    Hmm is it actually a flanged, so that you could just drill it open and use bolt and nut? That's what i would do in a heartbeat if I didn't have a welder. With a welder and washer & nut trick the steel bolt should come out easily from cast iron manifold. Just use as much power as possible to...

    2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9 Magnum Gas Engine (360) Need more power

    5.9 magnum responds very well to custom tune. I understood that you can get lots of more torque with updated tune. Not sure which companies still offer tunes to older magnums. I am planning on getting hptuner software as I am swapping -97 5.9 magnum to -84 Ramcharger
