    Exhaust manifolds

    This is a great break down. Much thanks. I am intending to try the big exhaust manifold off a 5.9 Jeep pretty soon. I still need to swap K frames. Whoever owned the car before me cut out the spool mounts and welded in old school biscuit mounts. UGH, and I don't want to mess with the...

    Exhaust manifolds

    That is perfect. Driver side manifold on mine is wrong. It is a center dump which explains a couple things. 76 Volare Roadrunner. Thanks!

    Exhaust manifolds

    I am looking for a picture of a stock F body V8 driver side exhaust manifold. Pretty sure the one on my car I am restoring is a truck manifold. TIA!

    Hair pulling transmission problem

    The linkage being messed up is the only thing that makes sense here. What I would do is get it up in the air on jack stands and disconnect the tranny linkage at the tranny. Then I would try going into reverse by just moving the shift lever at the tranny and see if it works correctly. Try all...

    Got a great Aspen story for you

    A while back I picked up an 80 Aspen 225 /6 car. The price was right to add to the backyard junkyard. Car was a survivor and was in pretty good shape in this case. It ran and drove and I followed my brother as he drove it to my place. He said it ran pretty good but the timing was messed up or...

    TorsionBar End Bushings

    Hardest thing I have ever done on an Fbody. Drilling out the spot welds didn't work. Had to cut length wise at the split. Had to drill out the retaining rivet. It would not budge at all. Then the joy of trying to get the original end off after the rivet removal was a beast too. I wish you luck...

    Springs & Shock plates info

    Bought my last set of springs from them. Really pleased with what I got. I went 5 stackers with B body centering pin and not extra height.

    Bought some more garbage! Now i gotta delete it

    I love the M body platform. Drove an 80 for years. There is a bunch of stuff you can delete if you don't have emissions to worry about. get rid of the lean burn ignition is a good start. I believe there was an air pump and multiple cats too. If you want to stick with the 2 barrel see if...

    So... I'm having a Merry Christmas.....

    Depending on what you want to learn there are a lot of us on here that can help you figure it out. That being said, first thing I always do on these cars (this is just me) is get an MSD 6a and better coil (Blaster 2 is fine, I have taken to using the ecoil from Pertronix) and loose the ballast...

    Throttle Kickdown with Holley Sniper

    I have seen a bunch of suggestion on this thread. But I have not seen anyone suggest adjusting the linkage at the tranny. With throttle at WOT the kick down lever should be all the way back. This is should be adjustable without having to redesign the whole system. If want me to I can try to...
