If I wanted sarcasm I'd watch Jimmy Kimmel. Going with longer studs and a spacer is a more economical solution than spending $$$ for a disk brake set up. This was a situation that neither my tire guy nor I anticipated. He even came to my home to see the issue.
I have a 1971 convertible with the stock drum brakes in the front. I went to mount my new Cragar S/S mags on the front and because of the large fins on the drum the rim will not mount flush to the drum. I can put a 1/2 spacer in to shim out the drum but am having trouble finding replacement...
So what you are saying is that an aluminum 3 core should be enough to keep this motor cool? I want to stay with the 22 inch. Should I get the electric fans also. I know a shroud is important too!
In my 1971 Challenger convertible, it was a stock 318 with a 3 speed. I have now gone to a 340, mild rebuild and was looking to put a 4 core 26 inch radiator in for maximum cooling, but it seems the mounting plate will only accommodate a 21 inch. Were there 2 different radiator mounts put in...
I have just put together my 1971 Challenger with a mildly built 340. I replaced the old radiator cap with a new 16lb cap. I am having trouble getting the neck to seal to the intake manifold. I used a quality sealer and gasket but when the system pressurizes, it leaks through the gasket and up...
I am rebuilding a 71 Challenger convertible and need a picture of the parking brake cable routing. I have the cable run but can't connect the center hook on the cable. I have the long cable that goes from one side of the car to the other with a bracket that pulls from the parking brake cable...
Thanks Tim for the offer but I found some out of Colorado. If anyone can confirm this, the machinist told me that the 340 caps will only fit a 340, and that the 318 is different.
I am in need of 318/340 main caps for my 340. The 3rd and 5th cap are not within tolerance while doing the alignment boring. Other than spending big bucks for aftermarket, does anyone have some used mains. My machinist told me to get a few of each so we can pick through them for the best fit...
It's Free!
After a couple more failed ideas, we decided to remove the k frame to get a direct hit on the torsion bar. 3 hits of the hammer and it was free. No grease but a lot of rust on the end. Both of these bars will see plenty of grease when it is reassembled. Thank god for long bars to...
