    Trans fluid .

    I did this on my 96 camry - popped off the AT cooler inlet line coming from the tranny, aimed it into a bottle and quickly figured out that it pumped out about a litre of ATF in 15 secs. The engine/engine oil was already warm so I kept starting and stopping it as needed to ensure the gearbox...

    What are you working on today??

    Can you really call it a living room if it doesn't have a jar of cheetos?

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    Goddamn...had to use a plier wrench to break it loose. Not even a 3/8" drive 19mm socket was thin enough to clear the protrusions around the fitting, not sure how I wasn't able to fit a 19mm open end wrench over it. But I got it loose in the end. So it appears that the little bump on each fuel...

    76 New Yorker in door interior light bulb replacement

    Unlikely, but if they're made of nylon you can spray them with some water, the nylon will absorb it over time and be less brittle as a result

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    I tried to use a wrench but the jaws were just too fat. There's a protrusion right next to it, where a torx screw sits, and that is preventing any socket or wrench from fully seating. What's really annoying is that I was watching a video on someone replacing that barb with a banjo union, and he...

    I may have turned to the dark side...

    I have to say one of the funnest things you can do with cars is making them do things they were never designed to do, I'll never forget the experience of throwing an old boat around and up and down some mountain backroads. One of these days I'll take mine to the local circuit, I'm sure it'll be...

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    Oooh right. Yeah I'll go that way then. Now if I can just get the damn fitting off...Edelbrock in their infinite wisdom didn't give enough clearance to fit a damn socket over the inlet hex. Or maybe my socket's just too fat...

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    Yeah, I'm gonna take off that fitting to see what kind of thread and depth the hole has. The owner's manual for the AVS2 states that it uses a 3/8" barb and measuring it seems to confirm this. Starting to wonder if I can get away with just trying to force 5/16" fuel hose onto the 3/8" barb...

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    @CBODY67 lol any help is appreciated no matter who you are. I think I didn't word my post properly. What I meant was that the AVS2 has a 3/8" barb as the inlet fitting, but I want to see if there's a 5/16 barb that can screw directly onto the carb so I can use a 5/16" fuel hose to connect it to...

    (Another) 383 2 bbl to 4 bbl conversion thread, anyone got a parts list?

    @Gerald Morris I require your assistance once again...sort of. The fuel hose from the steel line to the carb fuel inlet that's on the passenger side - just curious how'd you deal with that? The inlet barb is 3/8" but the stock lines are 5/16 and if you use a fuel filter with 3/8" barbs you still...

    Members we haven’t heard from in a while.

    I'm really good at air guitar. The unwashed masses dismiss it as "retarded hand waving and finger exercising" but my goals are beyond their understanding. But anyway...anyone seen @saylor? He did the ECI disc brake conversion on his fury, said brakes worked crazy good but otherwise haven't...

    67 383 engine block heater inlet and outlet pipe thread size?

    Forgot to ask, being NPT threads...would they need some sort of sealant? Or can I just tighten down until gudentite?

    67 383 engine block heater inlet and outlet pipe thread size?

    I strongly suspect it used a 1/2 heater core from the factory, the original rivets sealing up the core were still there unless someone was actually bothered enough to use new rivets. The heater valve also seems to be some local model, a 90° valve with 1/2" barbs on either end. It's pretty much...

    67 383 engine block heater inlet and outlet pipe thread size?

    200%. The 1/2 inch hoses I got would not fit if they weren't. I know the block fittings are currently 5/8" because the 1/2" hose is way too small for either one of them. Sorry for the confusion - it's actually a 67 Dodge Phoenix, the aussie version of the same year Fury III. I just mentioned 67...

    67 383 engine block heater inlet and outlet pipe thread size?

    67 Fury with a 383 - anyone know what pipe thread size is on the engine block for the heater hose inlet and outlet? Wanting to convert it from 5/8" to 1/2", very annoyingly, the heater core I've got is 1/2" on both barbs, and I bought a whole length of 1/2" heater hose and of course I neglected...

    Toyota washer bottle in a 67 Fury

    This is my first and only mopar so far but yeah I really like the way it looks. When I saw that the 67 Fury had floodlight gauges instead of backlit I was a bit unsure as I definitely prefer back lit versus front lit gauges. But these were back lit and at night they actually look pretty cool.

    The life and times of an upside down 65' Polara.

    Hehe, old habits die hard aye. No longer have to worry about killing people's bandwidth now, or at least, not as much as we used to. It's a very nice car, but me personally I've never been a fan of the mopar C pillars where it was wider at the top than the bottom, just looked really weird for...

    What are you working on today??

    Don't think I'll ever get a metric speedo, so I decided to paint the numbers on with google and working out where to paint between the existing notches. Used a #3/0 detailing brush and some fluoro orange speedo paint, wasn't going for a 150% factory look, but even then it looks pretty damn slick...

    Toyota washer bottle in a 67 Fury

    Could be a locally made version as we had Chrysler Valiants sold down here, wouldn't be surprised if they used some bits from those cars. Definitely not a Leece-Neville, that thing is almost as big as my head. Maybe another aussie lurking this forum can chime in. Useless trivia time: Canadian...
