    That's only because people need them on a daily basis. Just like toilet paper..... As Mr.Lopar said, jacking up the hood allows hot underhood air to escape. Cars running good and even took home a heat race win last weekend. Here's some videos...

    Torsion bar end bushings

    If you go to my Cordoba stock car thread I did them. You have to drill out the spot welds and then clamp them back together and re-weld them.

    If tires weren't so expensive I would gladly oblige you. :) Couple minor adjustments and she ran fast and hard at test and tune on Saturday! Corners like a dream! Cold air intake installed. It was missing from the car originally so I robbed one out of another car at the farm and riveted...

    The Flow-Tech headers were long tube racing headers with the three drivers side tubes under the drag link and they fit great. Word of advice, it's easier to install them after removing the power steering box then it is to try and install them by lifting the engine. Shorties should fit just...

    Thank you Captain! So I know there isn't a whole lot of information about this so here goes. The Magnum engine exhaust manifolds off my '92 Dakota were sitting on the shelf in my garage since I put headers on it about 3 years ago. So I decided, despite what I've heard and read. I set about...

    Was going to rebuild the Thermo-Quad I picked out to use and after I took the screws out I opened it up I promptly put it back together and and tightened back up the screws and call that done. Someone not very long ago had already done that, it was brand new and shiny inside and the gaskets and...

    All four wheels are painted the same way, they are just two different sets of wheels. Finally got around to installing the hood pins and finishing the hood. This is as far on the engine as I can get right now.

    The bottom end of the engine is done as well as the oil pan. Running a Milodon one piece gasket I had to fill in the front corners of the pan with some pieces of 1/4" steel. Made up some made some baffles in the pan. I had found that the screen in the pickup was pushed up exposing...

    Thanks man! Got the mounts stripped, welded and ready for paint last night. Just about to go out again for the day. Both of our other cars leak through the speedo gear housing and mine did too from that little seal around the cable drive. So I fixed that issue with a brass pipe plug...
