    Old -timer tricks for preventing rust

    Always heard good things about krown. As a kid, we switched from ziebart to this white/tan waxy stuff I thought was great. It held up well to NY salt and snow. That was the late 70s.

    Old -timer tricks for preventing rust

    We drove them old muscle cars as winter beaters for $50-$300. They all had holes in the quarters, rockers and floors. Big blocks cars were cheap due to the OPEC oil embargo. People paid me $35 to tow them out of their yards and driveways. Nobody cared or understood what they were.

    Morning everyone. It's been a while. It's not an fmj question, I hope can get your help here. I don't know where else to turn and I miss everyone here. We're still in limbo after the fire. My '04 2500 5.7 335k has developed a brief, 1 second death rattle first start up of the morning. I found an...

    I'll never look at a pair of boots or coat the same. No human was hurt. Christmas Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. Gone, but hopefully not forgotten. Like MacArthur, I will return.

    Gauge Panel Bulb Suggestions Wanted

    Polarity? Huh. I might have dumb lucked out and installed them, most of them the right way or they had a tab to prevent them sliding in backwards or weren't polarity sensitive? I had a few if I recall correctly that I had to flip over or spread the wire away for better contact. They draw less...

    408 Stroker build who's keen to watch this one :)

    I wouldn't change carbs, get the 600 dialed in first. Your not looking to float valves. X heads can handle a .650 max lift cam, La-X or Ma-X with the #3806 valve seal. Stock Magnums are .525-.530 safe max. Suppose you could pour money over the stock Magnum heads and get more lift, but I don't...

    Volare 77 /6 to 400

    BudW, I had thoughts of going Small Block for simplicity and handling since I have a field full of 5.9's and a couple EQ heads to start with. But that's all I have for a SB starting point. Since Ive accumulated much of what I need for my B block, Ive decided to use that and the 727 off the RV...

    F body assembly line

    It was a sad day the day the RWD assembly plant died. I knew then, these cars would be desirable in the future, and they are.

    Cams and combinations, food for thought.

    Trumps mandated 15% Ethanol. Maybe it will mandate E-85 back again. I dont think it took off here. I advised all the flex fuel van buyers I sold vans to about using it back in the day. 95ish to 2013ish when I was selling new cars. My neighbor liked and used it, I dont think it was self supported...

    Decision Time For Yuma...

    Sounds like you'll regret selling it once its gone. FOREVER. Been there, done that. Still kicking myself 30 years ater the fact. If you can afford to sit on it, for sentimental reasons you should keep it and finish it up. You'll get the looong dollar if you can part with it finished. And...

    Cams and combinations, food for thought.

    We use to have E-85 here in Western NY. But the last 5-6 years I havent found anyone that carries it. Id love to build my motor for E-85. We'll all have E-15 soon enough. Maybe we will get another shot at E-85?

    Gauge Panel Bulb Suggestions Wanted

    MY is Model Year. I did my dash last year and used LEDs. In theory they will outlive me. They are very bright if you desire them to be. You need special flashers for brake and TS lights if you want to swap them in. There rated for 100,000 hours.

    Magnum truck shorty headers fit?

    You might want to google EPS swaps. For $200 or less you can get everything you need and swap to a manual steer box. 5 wires is all you need to wire it up I believe. You would lose the PS pump and that massive iron block that will probably leak bad and wander all over the road. It would free up...
