    The Vaanth Thermo-Quad Guide, re-written and updated.

    Ahhh, the MML, indeed, those were some good times! What perfect timing this is too...I'm experiencing some troubles with my 9800 SuperQuad and searching high and low netted me absolutely nothing. I then remembered that you did recently publish an update to that guide and boy was I thrilled to...

    UPGRADE P/S UNIT

    I bought their 800127 Conversion Box, 1-1/4" diameter sector/pitman shaft. Was it a "direct fit"...??? Umm, close enough, but there are a couple of things that you need to account for: 1) secton/pitman shaft diameter: there are two, ours is the larger one 1-1/4" 2) box to steering column shaft...

    FOR SALE 10 and 11 inch brake kits

    "Thumbs Up" for Rick here...I ordered my 11" kit, it's on the way right now, Rick was very nice to deal with: answered all my questions, had flexibility to account for a small changed I requested. Can't go wrong in my book!

    F/M UPPER BALL CHOICE

    Ahh, got ya! Well, I think the closest to this that we get with our F/M/J body cars is the offset UCA shaft...take a look at the post @XfbodyX posted just the other day => Moog offset control arm kits

    F/M UPPER BALL CHOICE

    Define "better"...what are you looking to do that the TRW part can't? What does "...more adj..." mean as applicable to a ball joint? ...or are we talking in terms of general perception of the part's quality?

    Power steering pump

    You could take a look at the Borgeson 899001 'Power Steerign Flow Valve Kit', this is the one that comes with multiple washers that you use to adjust the output PSI the pump itself provides. The kicker here is that you need something to start off with that hopefully gets you to the ballpark of...

    Thermoquad blues

    Honestly, I do not want to sound like an all-knowing "guru", or everyday jerk, but it is very hard to square up your "...timing isnt' an issue..." and "...about 40 maximum..." remarks. So here is the thing: SB Mopars, especially the open chamber heads, need extra advance (in comparison to the...

    Thermoquad blues

    Ahh yes, that "whhhhaaaaaa" sound eh? So here is the thing, for a 1-3/8" primary carb this is probably way too rich to start off with. Stock that carb had a 0.097" primary and 0.110" secondary jets with a 2359 rod, which is: 0.072 - 0.054 - 0.045 stepping, while your 1966 rods are: 0.067 -...

    The trouble with the FF Torsion bars...

    So here is what I noticed when I was shuffling through my t-bar parts 'basket' and trying to figure out the best set of components: the FFI supplied pivot bushing is correctly sized for the bar diameter they sell, that being 1.25". In the meantime, the PolyBushings part# 1100 (polyurethane...

    Transmission fluid

    Whaattt....???? No "you need Type-F" posts???? OK ok, so yeah, with a factory install you do not - in fact with a lock-up converter Type-F could actually be a totally wrong way to go....but way back when, when the performance bug bit me, I do recall draining that factory fill and going to...

    New member looking to learn.

    Welcome to the forum! So what are your plans for this wagon? I ask b/c the "...due to rust issues..." statement may be a harbinger of what you might find once you pull the ride out and inspect the frame rails. Assuming that the car has been sitting in the as-pictured environment doesn't bode...

    B Body 8 3/4 Axle, splines ok? Pictured

    One more thing you can do for a little piece of mind: check the spline engagement depth by marking the axle splines with some gear marking compound - usually the yellow stuff differential shops use to check the pinion<=>crown gear mesh pattern. Mark it, toss it in (assumption here being that...

    SB head - DIY porting info

    There is a nice thread on FABO forum about what a DIY head porting job could net you in terms of flow improvements. Good read, not too scary, and remember: it helps to get with a shop that understands the topics (multi-angle valve jobs, deshrouding, etc.) so that if you are going to pursue...

    30th Hot Rod Power Tour 2024

    LOL, point taken! Well, any other time you are back around here, do drop a line and stop-in! Duke is just on the US side of the border, so is his dad, although Mike is way up in Ottawa...any plans to do either Woodward or the Windsor Oulette cruise?

    30th Hot Rod Power Tour 2024

    Nice man!!! I bet it was a blast...very cool. Now...if you passed through Windsor and obviously didn't "call in" for a pit stop...umm...yeah, kind of pissed (jokingly of course, but...)??? LOL

    FOR SALE Dodge Chrysler Plymouth Mopar 11x2.5" Drum Rear Brake Backing Plates Good Used Look!!

    Thanks...@Big.J.007 and I chatted about his items (I reached out to him directly and mentioned that the link to his post was posted on here, which I suspect is the reason why he now also posted this here as well). Anyways, seeing what the backing plates themselves sell for, and the hardware...

    WANTED 11" brake components

    Yup, I've started to look for them. This hasn't been a priority of mine, but recalling the last couple of outings to the Milan, MI dragstrip, and remember the brakes getting a bit soft after a few back-to-back runs...sooo....why not consider upgrading?
