    Coolant temp again

    On the flush, I got some evapo rust for a friend, and it comes out black, when it cleans out the rust. I have not had this in this engine yet, mainly because I pulled the block drains, had to drive out a rust plug inside, but flowed nicely after plug pushed out. Also, what I can see from the...

    Coolant temp again

    Cant argue with the points. Lower radiator is running about 140, but with higher flow it could screw up.....just pushing the envelope. I have never liked the higher temps....esp today as with the 210 thermostats, both gas and diesel. I dont give a crap about emissions, just engine...

    Coolant temp again

    When I got the 383 up and running, it was full of mud instead of water, that got flushed for about a year. And, the temps ran up to about 200F when pushed. In efforts to get it down, larger 3 row radiator copper, high flow pump and thermostat, and spring in the lower hose that was sucking a...

    Starter testing

    This is my first time for the mopar gear reduction starter test. Most times, I have used jumpers on the main and on ground, then hit the small solenoid terminal to activate starter. All my past units just stopped when the solenoid was cut. On this starter, it runs for a few seconds...

    When (what year) did front sway bar link change from fixed to removable bushing?

    This looks like the right part for my 66 fury that had one welded and one bolted. I found someone with oem parts, but so expensive I made my own for much less. But if you need to stay original, this is right. Large rubber washers for the upper end, and the split square for the...

    More Sway Bar Bushings

    Having trouble yet again with mother Mopar, and the variety and design of these bushings. If we begin at the front, we find two designs on my 66 fury that are on the 7/8 bar....one welded, one bolted. But, if you look at the pic, you may see that it is damn difficult to force the new square...

    Checking/adjusting bands at every fluid change?

    I was educated and worked around machines for my lifetime, as well as work on cars and bikes for fun. And, it is always interesting to consider some of the interactions going on that just amaze us. And for this issue, it is a balance of friction and lubrication that is still interesting...

    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...
