    Fall is in the air.

    Summer was really short this year. Chat up Grundy for a quote. My insurance hasn't increased in five years. I had Hagerty at first and by the third year cane along they wanted a 40% increase. Screw them.

    Muffler clearance.

    Heat is a concern, but what about ground clearance? I'd be a little worried.

    1980 Volare Cop Car

    I got my five leaf packs from John R Spring many moons ago. Be sure to match the front spring bushings to your caltracs. I ordered the wrong solid bushings when I ordered mine and had to buy them again.

    FF torsion bars feedback

    B2001. You'll be happy. I have mine adjusted six clicks on both rebound and compression. They build them to order. I had mine in a couple weeks. You'll have to yalk to FF about the torsion bars. They don't make runs very often. I bought mine 11 years ago. Toss a factory set of front and...

    FF torsion bars feedback

    Viking has active part numbers for front and rear shocks for our cars. They're $250 a piece and worth every damn penny. If you pair these with a set of FF 300# bars it will completely transform how your M handles. Like a modern car.

    1984 5th Avenue differential swap.

    It's worse. That thing is 2.24:1. In the UK? That's going to be rough. Not many parts cars to be found over there. The easiest way is to find a 8.25" out of a fleet car with a 4bbl. It'll have 2.94 gears and bolt right in. Just have to shorten the driveshaft. There are no aftermarket...

    Rear Swaybar bushings and links source

    If you're making a set yourself this is the way. Instead of washers use shock bushing keepers as they're cupped to the bushing. For the sleeve over the bolt black pipe can be used. Dad did this for his. For the frame rail bushings Energy Suspension has bushings that fit. You just need to...

    Battery suggestions for F body big block swap

    I don't even know what's in the Fifth. It's an 800cca something. I think it's a name brand. It's seven years old now. My F150 has a no name in it that went dead from not being used. Shocked it back to life with a stick welder and it's been fine for three years now. I only pay around $200...

    TorsionBar End Bushings

    Was NOS all you could find? I wouldn't try 40 year old rubber bushings, but if it's all you can find...

    TorsionBar End Bushings

    My car has the same issue. I'm using Firm Feel torsion bars and pivot bushings. They also recommended a thicker bottom plate I tried it didn't do anything. If I had to guess poly bushing is just deforming. I've thought about going back to rubber if I could find a set.

    360 Oil Filters ?

    Getting under the car isn't he issue, it's getting back up! My car has it located behind the bumper on the driver's side. Being a big block necessitated it here. Hard to see in this photo, but Dad's is in the engine bay on the passenger side. Probably wouldn't work here if you still have a...

    360 Oil Filters ?

    The amount of pain and mess some of you guys are willing to put up with bewilders me. :-)

    this is what i'm busy with

    Natural, at least. I think it would look tits with a polished stainless pipe and hardware though.

    I've found AI to be useless for questions such as this. It just makes shit up.

    1987 Fifth Ave - Need vacuum line color map for under dash connector

    Had the same thing happen. I lopped the connector off and slipped new vacuum hose over top of the plastic line. Did one by one so I didn't mess the order.

    23 Tooth Long Shaft Speedometer Gear

    I have no idea if this helps, but I have this gear marked 58 with 36 teeth. It doesn't line up with anything. It *might* be the factory gear from my 5A. If you can identify it and it works for you then it's yours for the cost of the ride.
