    Whats the deal with all these companies who sell leafspring wedges recommending that you bolt the wedge to the leagspring pack? Do most "newer" cars/trucks not have a long/tall enough leafspring locating dowel? I recently lowered the rear on my '74 challenger, making the car sit level in...

    FYI: Cars with 5x4.5 or 5x114.3 & 71.6 cb

    Heres a list of cars that have the same wheel bolt pattern and center bore as our ebodies. Keep in-mind that wheel backspacing will need to be confirmed as rim offset is usually more then the 4 1/4 or 4.5" backspacing our rides had from factory. This list just means that the wheel will fit on...

    Speedo gear housing markings

    I am replacing my speedo gear (tranny is a 1976 B727), going from 25 teeth to 37 teeth. My housing however only has the markings for the 21-25 tooth and nothing else. The new housings don't have a alignment mark for 21-25T but do have a blank spot on it. Can I assume this spot would be for the...

    Sparkplug reach

    I was going thru my used sparkplugs and noticed I've been using 2 different reach lengths. 3/8" and 3/4". I have a '71 383 with 2406516 cylinder heads (1964-67). I believe the machine shop installed Champion RN9YC plugs (3/4 reach) and I have used Autolite 56 (3/4 reach) and currently have...

    Alignment "Rear" thrust angle ?

    Anybody know what the thrust angle specs are? I can't find anything in the 1970 & 1973 Dodge manuals. I had a "brain fart" when I touched/adjusted my toe-in/out and forgot to take any measurements. Then I went and finally centered my aftermarket steering wheel so eveythings slightly out. I tried...

    New guy from Canada
