    Air Shocks

    Yes I agree, it looks a good fit the gas shocks spec's for the rear of a J body are length 18.625", Comp 11.375" and travel 7.250" and the MA709 is Length 17.375", Comp 10.75" and travel 6.625" it looks somewhere in the ball park, is the eye at the top compatible with the Chrysler one?

    Air Shocks

    I found these that look similar but they would be upside down when fitted to my J body, can air shocks work upside down? Monroe MA700 Shock/Strut Max Air Twin-Tube Rear Pair | eBay

    RPM - What does it really mean?

    So it seems there really is nothing in the specs, the only true answered are the combos on the dyno or seat of the pants at the track for proven parts that work together?

    RPM - What does it really mean?

    Hi Guys, I have been laying low for a while, I have been thinking and thought would start a debate over RPM range, when you buy an intake it is rated from idle to 5500 eg performer, then the performer rpm 1500 to 6500 and cams are rated something similar. Lets start with intakes - What's this...

    Air Shock

    Hemi V8 - I have seen various ideas why from MDS turning oil off to lifters to the center oil feed under the camshaft stopping the splash feed to the cam at low RPMs (Hence my comment good for a jet boat motor at 5000rpm) As for dropping valve seats thats got to be a Chrysler cock up there as...

    Yeah I do have a 6.1 hemi, it came to be through my friend wanted it and didn't have the cash so I bought it then he changed his mind and now I have it, I have no use for it nor do I want it! its at the machine shop, it needs a sleeve after dropping a valve seat or something before I got it! I...

    7.25" gears wanted

    This is my take on injection, is it better yes and no, for drive ability and cold weather use I think way better, for all out performance carb better, for hot rodders like us and our car is a weekend summer car then carb is fine, so what I have to warm up for 5min before I give it full noise...

    7.25" gears wanted

    He has 4.11 in it now, feels it needs the 4.56, this is a /6 setup you can build at home, it goes pretty good for a slant! Impressed! UTG has been taking people on a step by step build of car! Hopefully someone on here may have or know where a 4.56 is kicking around!

    I Hate My Power Steering!

    The design of the steering gear means it has to have free play, the Boregson has a torsion rod that turns to control the fluid flow, Borgeson have said this happens around 1/8" I am not sure the Chrysler design could achieve this. If the balls were all the best fit in the nut, the sector shaft...

    I Hate My Power Steering!

    I drove a right had drive 2014 Jeep Wrangler at work once, thought this drives quite good, thought it must of had rack and pinion, slid under it and it had a steering gear, so I know steering gears can go very well!

    I Hate My Power Steering!

    Thanks for the info, far out you have no idea the cost and time involved getting a car on the road in NZ, if you increase the power by 20% the car is then illegal and needs a further $500 spent to get an engineers report done to say its ok, on our old bangers a cam, intake, headers could see us...

    I Hate My Power Steering!

    ok lets take a look at this diagram, the oil comes in and is directed to the left or right hand chambers, so you turn the wheel to the left and pushes the steering column back a little bit some how controlling that pivot lever thing to direct the oil to the left chamber to assist, and this is...
