    Worth it to fix?

    I see three cracks running to the bottom of the cylinder, looks risky to me, if you sleeve it I would expect problems with water in oil. I see a junk block.

    Rear Shackle Geometry - how are you adjusting it?

    Body lift is more than likely controlled by the leaf springs, I use SS springs with the appropriate hangers but the rear hangers have always leaned slightly forward. I get four or five inches of body lift from the rear springs with the car capable of running 1.3x 60 foot times. Do you have you...

    Hello from Arizona!

    I would recommend having your vehicle weighed, I suspect a curb weight of around 3,700 pounds, and then you can go online and figure out how much horsepower is needed for your goals. The suspension needs for drag racing is completely opposite that of autocross. My Volare has a curb weight of...

    Remote oil filter installs - who's got what???

    1985 Diplomat AHB Redding CA craigslist $3500

    There was a day when those were about seven or eight years old and I could buy them for $100 in much much better condition. I don’t remember what year the 318 got roller lifters but many 318s didn’t make the 100K mark I bought a couple of them for even less. But I was manly after the Bbody cars...

    1976 Dodge Aspen - Front disc brakes rebuild help

    There should be no question about replacing the rubber brake hoses. I would replace the one in the rear also. You can’t tell by just looking at hoses because they break down inside and cause the caliper to drag even not release. The part is inexpensive so replace them.

    Fuel Filter at 2:32 am

    Sounds like you have a stuck needle or a plugged valve so you will probably need to pull the top of the carburetor and clean the float assembly with the needle and seat. Don’t be surprised if you find the float bowl full of oxidation.
