    1977 Gas Tank Removal

    Pretty straight forward. Stick a jack or something under it so it won't drop all the way when you unbolt the straps. You might also need it down part way to disconnect thd hoses and sending unit unless you can get to that from the side first. If there are screws or clips around the filler when...

    Best 8 3/4 rear replacement years

    8 1/4 are pretty strong. Its probably a bearing causing the noise if it's not something simpler.

    Gem Guards

    Especially with the pattern of the first one you could get away with taping off the chrome and carefully cutting the sides to match the proper ones. I did notice some on ebay you could see the number stamped into them so that should help a search.

    1983 Imperial dead for 20 years, what to do with it?

    The fillers and imperial only parts ususlly sell pretty fast if they're realistically priced. The aluminum bumpers sell good too because in some climates they corrode and peel. If it still has fuel injection and you can get it running people like those parts and if it has the factory conversion...

    1983 Imperial dead for 20 years, what to do with it?

    Wow. I know buy cheap sell high is how places like that stay in business because it's not like they have non stop cash rolling in but they'd probably charge that much for only one part off it. You could get more parting it out yourself as long as there's some good stuff on it. It might be worth...

    Rocker Clip Interest

    I was looking at that the other day. Some of the printers are capable of duplicating and have a scanner too. There's so much out there I might buy a chiepie printer that has a good rating to play around with and go from there. At least it wouldn't be a big investment lost if it ends up being...

    Rocker Clip Interest

    Call my crazy but I've got enough crap I need for various projects that I'm seriously thinking of starting to mess with 3d printers. Maybe I'll start with some of the software to see how easy it is to draw the stuff up.

    Rocker Clip Interest

    Before investing your own money in it it might be better to see if an existing company that sells clips online would make and sell them at their cost. Otherwise once they've made the 3D printer drawing for them they can add it to their collection and sell it themselves so it's like you'd be...

    383/400 swap?

    Yes the bracket at the transmission is different for 727 and the last kick down rod is different also. Same with dipstick tube if it doesn't come with one.

    Upgrades

    From The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Home Page "To reduce road noises and axle vibrations before they can be transferred to the leaf springs." Similar to what it says about the front bushings.

    Upgrades

    I think they'd be a bit longer then normal shackle sides to make up for the bend but it's not that hard to cut a strip of metal and drill holes in it. I was thinking the same thing but that the bending would be the harder part.

    Upgrades

    The iso thing was sipposed to be to isolate the suspension for better ride. I don't know if drain holes would be good or not. They'd let water out but also let more in. I don't know how much of a demand there really is for the police shackle and mount. There must have been a reason for it to...
