    Sunny. Looks nice out, it's only about 35° but doesn't feel too bad.

    There's a pic of the underside after I put new shocks on the back. I'll dig around for some more of the threads I started with pics on them. Ordered 4 new shocks for the fifth

    If you have the 2bbl you can unscrew the cover on the top of it and dump fuel directly into the float bowls. I did that when my fuel pump failed, it would start up and run fine for a few seconds, and for as long as I kept putting gas in the bowl directly that way. Just don't overfill it. It...

    How to replace front shocks...

    Some shocks will lock closed with a quarter turn, but you should really make sure you can compress it. You won't damage it, it is literally it's only purpose. If it won't compress return it. I had a shock that just didn't extend smoothly, Rockauto sent me a new one, wrote it up as "catastrophic...

    Love at first sight

    I had a couple big black walnut trees that a guy gave me a grand to take down for veneers. They left a TON of scrap behind because it wasn't perfect enough for them. (they needed long straight sections) There's probably a whole trees worth still there if someone knew how to work with it...

    I've entered the snake pit...

    I worked at a Dodge dealer in PA as a detailer, within a couple of months I was running the department. If the wife (then fiancee) hadn't been dead set about moving to MI I'd probably be a salesman there now.

    Swapping A-body shorty headers and exhaust to M-body

    I should have clarified in the beginning, I won't even disagree with your first paragraph, I should have said "I used to" because that was a thing I did going on 20 years ago now... Also agree getting racing off the streets and onto a track is a good thing, though it's too expensive and people...

    Any fuel is better than no fuel. Even with just a squirt it should start and run, at least momentarily. That's how my Grand-dad used to check for fuel, he'd dump a capful straight in the carb, if it'd start, run for a couple seconds then die, you knew it was a fuel issue.

    Swapping A-body shorty headers and exhaust to M-body

    I've never seen Street Outlaws. You are way over-analyzing it. I agree that a car should be able to do it all, but there are always compromises. I like having something that's different than what everyone else does. Not to be different, but because I like to try things out for myself and see...

    Swapping A-body shorty headers and exhaust to M-body

    Just my 2 cents, and at the risk of alienating myself..., my idea of a fun car is tall gears and high rpm power. To me, that's the definition of a "sleeper", at least on the streets, in real world driving, where certain circles know a car and driver by reputation. There are guys that will know a...

    My coil is on the passenger fender. I'm looking at a couple different distributor setups, First one is a Proform "Blue box" for $149 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-66991 Second is the Summit brand Mopar "Orange box" for $200 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-850003 Third is the...

    360 vs 410 Frieberger on Engine Masters

    The way I drive I'd want peak torque around 2k rpm so I could cruise tall gears all day, and peak HP around 4k, just because I don't like pushing the motor harder than that. But that's just me.

    Checking to see if there is any interest here before I take it down to be scrapped. I'd hate to see it crushed when I know someone here would value it, either for the good parts on it, or even to throw a carb and ignition on and drive. All reasonable offers considered, I'm not selling for less...

    Ok, this ended up not. I can figure out firing order and plug wire routing easily enough with a service manual. What I'm really hung up on is good intake gasket/seal I've changed a handful of wet intakes, and have had mixed results. I'm sure I'm probably making a bigger deal out of it than I...
