    Aftermarket Fuel Tank Sending Unit Compatibility

    Have to disagree on that one. The overall resistance in a parallel setup is always smaller than the smallest resistor. 1/Rtot = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 0.436 --> Rtot = 1/0.436 = 22.9 Ohms. Or (75x33)/(75+33) = 22.9

    Aftermarket Fuel Tank Sending Unit Compatibility

    Nice experiment! Now it would be interesting to see if the gauge shows correct when the tank is empty, because with 75 ohm in parallel with your resistor only gives ~22.9 ohms with empty tank. If I understand correct you measured 33 ohms when the gauge was showing near 1/4. With 22.9 ohms (empty...

    Ford guys got us

    Yepp, apparently our front ends is popular in the hot rod communities. I noticed this a couple of years ago when I rebuilt mine. Almost every search I did on the web came back with results from The H.A.M.B. the forum on jalopyjournal. Search Results for Query: volare | The H.A.M.B.

    Error in Wiring Diagram M-Body Hazard switch?

    I'll have to agree with you here 69-. The wiring diagrams looks the same to me. If I get the diagrams right, the feed from the brake light switch (18W) is disconnected with the hazard switch in "on" position. Maybe you are right, it could be that the diagram is incorrect. Not the first time if...

    Misfire when light throttle and sparks fouling - Help needed

    I see you have checked your carb, but is it possible you have an issue with fuel/air on one side of your intake? I mean with a dual plane intake, one side of the carb is feeding half your engine (1-4-6-7) and the other side is feeding the other half (8-3-5-2). A shot in the dark from me, but...

    Dual Exhaust or Big Single

    I think Aspen500 have a dual pipe setup on the passenger side. Beautiful work IMO. There is at least one thread on this forum with pictures of it. Edit: found it. factory F body dual exhaust?

    Rear axels

    There is a large group of enthusiasts in Norway and Sweden who takes great pride in taking care of older american cars. Earlier it was mostly cars from the fifties and sixties, but lately the malaise era cars has been included in the classic car communities. The last couple of years I've...

    Maybe you got them from here: The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1978 Dodge Color & Trim Book - Diplomat I bookmarked that site a few years ago. Some good info in there like interior color codes and trim options.

    Wishing the FMJ Mopar folk a Happy Holidays

    -18°C (0°F) and two feet of snow here. Even though it is very pretty and christmas-like outside I would rather trade it for a longer car season. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you.

    Random non start condition. 86 dippy

    On the '09 Tahoe I had you could get the car to recognize the tire pressure sensors by going through a routine described in the owners manual. It was something like press lock/unlock together. The turn lamp on one corner light up and then you release air pressure until the horn chirped. Are you...

    Cyclops - Chevy

    Reminds me of my wife's Volvo. One morning the electric parking brake was stuck on. I disconnected the brake motors and put 12 volts on them to get the brakes off so she could use the car to work. After that the dash displayed a backup sensor fault, system disconnected. I found the backup...

    Cyclops - Chevy

    Well, I've had a '97 Suburban, '03 Suburban and a '09 Tahoe and never experienced any problems with bulbs burning out. Could it be a vibration problem causing it? Either the socket being loose or the bulb rattling in the socket? Could also be a overvoltage issue, but that should cause other...

    What is the best 360 manifold that fits under the hood with an air cleaner?

    I got the Professional Products cross wind dual plane intake (#55026) on a 5.2 magnum. For the price I got no complaints, but this is a stock Mag in an Aspen used mostly with a light right foot on sunny days. My only regrets is that I didn't check the port matching and casting burrs i've seen...

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    I see that. Just sharing my experience. Bottom line: it helped. I downloaded an app to measure vibration on my phone. Not so much help since the vibrations was mostly heard, not felt. Downloaded an spectrumanalyzer app to measure which frequency I was hearing. I got my exhaust resonance theory...

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    I've been fighting a RPM-dependable cyclic vibration in my Aspen around 45 mph (~2000 rpm) for the last couple of years. You cannot really feel it, but it makes an annoying sound in the floor pans. Noticed it after replacing the trans mount with a cheap Rockauto one. I asked the guys (and gals)...

    Pinion angle?

    I ordered the shims the same with as the leafs (2.5"). Did not think of the space in the top ISO plate being narrower than the leafs. Live and learn... I guess some shaving and grinding is coming up, after making the shim center hole bigger. IIRC the perch hole is about 1 9/16" Thank you for...

    Pinion angle?

    Picking up this ol thread because after rebuilding my rear end with new leafs, I got a rumble/vibration I believe is caused by wrong pinion angle. My trans tail is 3 degrees down and my diff is now 4 degrees nose down. I was thinking to raise the diff nose a little to get it close to 0 deg, so...

    Leaf Spring Sag

    Got the springs (and shackles) from General Springs, and could take the Aspen out for a short test drive yesterday. Very pleased with the result. I think the car feels a bit firmer now. I did the whole rust treatment on all the hardware too, and painted it. Also replaced all the bearings...

    Firm Feel Products

    That is what I meant was the hardest part, separating the sleeve from the bar. I made two half-moon shaped pieces of flat iron. The radius of the circle they make when you put them together must match the thickness of the torsion bar. Made holes in them and bolted them tight against the bar...

    I see you got the spacer for the filter. I ordered a original filter for a 42RE after reading a guy on another forum used it on his Cuda and was happy with it. Haven't tried it yet, because I'm currently working on my rear end. I cheaped out on the pan and got the Dorman tho...
