    Power Steer Pump Leak

    Yes, name brand fluid for the PS. What I have found on this casing appears to be a divit, kind of like you struck it with a ball peen hammer....small dent. I purchased this pump used, and it did have a serious dent in the pulley that Lares repaired. I am thinking this dent could have...

    Power Steer Pump Leak

    I have got to say that I am very happy with a Lares new steer gearbox and a pump rebuild. But, my pump has had a small leak. So, I thought it was a gasket and talked to the company who said to return for repair, after locating the leak. That was a great comment. I had noted lots of oil...

    Driveshaft geometry question

    Thanks for comments. But, there is a bit of confusion on my methods. I use floor jacks, now on gravel with plywood under the wheels, to raise, but in some cases, instead of jackstands, I put the wheels on 6x6 blocks. Then, I will sometimes add some body lift, either with a small scissor...

    Checking/adjusting bands at every fluid change?

    I agree on the fill tube point. With that, they want you to go to 100k to change fluid. I bought a C5 vette couple years back with just under the 100k. Lifted and pulled the pan. Filter clean, and then the fun begins. Fill up the the horizontal plug, run the engine until it hits the...

    Weird world of grease guns

    Just thought I would ask yet another dumb question....this time on automotive grease, used in cartridge guns. When I was a kid, I worked on a pipe laying crew, and would grease the tracks of the big machines each morning. And, there were no cartridges, you just placed the end of the open gun...

    Driveshaft geometry question

    Pulling my hair again. To pull driveshaft again for new front yoke, I put the car on blocks under the tires so I can get under. Yes, used to have a lift in a nice garage, but no more.....retarded. So, to gain just a bit of room for the rotundness, I used the bumper jack on rear corner to...

    Window regulator repair

    Thank you. I checked with Detroit Muscle on their roller kit, they were not sure if crosses to C Body.....but some parts look correct so taking a chance here. Their new roller looks like made to run on a rod, not in a slot....but I have not pulled my panels off yet.....just trying to think...

    Window regulator repair

    I have gone back a bit on searching the Cbody site, and also on Utube for regulator work. Have found some but would like some more options. I am working on roadkill and would like to repair the basics such as the rollers and guides on the window, and also remove the vent regulator for...

    More U joints

    Showin my rear yet again. I had pulled the driveshaft some time ago for a bad front joint. Replaced both, the front with a sealed spicer, the rear with a greaseable Moog. Spicer so fat would not enter the yoke flanges....had to trim a bit. But, my big mistake was in handling the caps on...

    Oil

    Maybe so, maybe not. I worked for years with some folks down there in texas.....great bunch on engine tech. I also learned in school a hell of long time back, that four ball api was the test for scuffing, that is for the heavy loads of sliding friction mainly on the cam, not the rings. So...

    Oil

    For most of us, you can just look at the front of the bottle, most mfrs, and see the multi facet star for the stinkin epa. This indicates the gasoline oils they removed the zinc and phospho from. But, I do not like them for either the small engine that all, imo, have flat tappet, and what...

    1970 Fury HP Exhaust Manifolds Burn Valve Cover Paint

    Gotta give em that, the chryslers were interesting at top end.....different than ford and chevy. They would roll. Early on I moved from plymouth to chevy. For drag racing, chrysler shifting was a challenge, and in 70's with the damn new process, all you did was replace shift forks.....not...

    1970 Fury HP Exhaust Manifolds Burn Valve Cover Paint

    When in HS in Fairfax, I spent my fridays drag racing. And, there was a group that would gather at 2am on sunday, and run the 70 miles around the new 495 beltway. Just wondering if you 68Pk might have been involved in that game. I just had to be on the look out for fairfax county in...

    Dumping gas

    A friend with big block fords forever, likes to raise the back of the hood with small block to increase airflow.....has done this for long time and it helps. But, with a known offender, maybe couple little things if weather very hot, first is let it idle for short stops, and second is to crack...

    Dumping gas

    Your points do remind me that if I could, I would wrap the exhaust manifolds and some down pipe, I would. I did that on an MGA rebuild that had more tube headers, and it did not look horrible. But, would help underhood.

    Dumping gas

    From experience back in the day, on a hot day, with a hot engine, the problem called vapor lock would occur when you shut down for a while and then try to start back up.....and it aint goin easy. What I do not recall is whether you also had a lot of fuel smell. But, always interesting today...

    Dumping gas

    With all of the underhood heat on these beasties....I kinda agree with CBody (hope that comes from Classic Beauty Body and not Pear body....but I digress). But, I added some heat shield tube for the fuel line from the pump....horrible ugly stuff, but will work. I did this to reduce chance of...
