I think they are more commonly known as bumper guards, so if you are looking for them on eBay, you may want to use "bumper guards" as a search term.

I'm not sure what the situation over there is, but if the 727 is available, it just may be simpler to just take the 727 along with the drive shaft and 8 1/4" rear end, assuming it is a small block 727. 727 is heavier and will have enough torque capacity to handle any small block modifications...

Never mind, I was talking out of turn.

you can try a 150 Ohm 1W resistor. It will give you 50 Ohms empty. Alternative is to use a Pot, say about 150-250 Ohms total resistance, and actually tune the pot to get the gauge to read exactly what you want. You'd need to have it enclsed in a sealed box of some sort. and secure the wiper so...

Keep in mind that the 440, is an "RB" (Raised B) family engine, which has a higher deck height than the "B" engine, which may have a hood clearance issue. And, Depending on the application, the 400 has the strongest blocks of any of the big block Mopar engines, with the possible exception of the...

Up here in the Grey White North, there are many occasions when the temperature drops quite low. People still get regular car boosts from friends or taxis, but imcreasingly, they are using the battery boost boxes. Most common that I have seen is the NOCO ones, I have a friend who has one and he...

the 318-4V was available in California, High Altitude states, and in Canada . I have a 1980 Cordoba, and a 1981 Mirada CMX, and both have 318-4V engines.

Does anybody remember the opening verse to "Disco Inferno"? It goes "Burn, Baby, Burn.....", an accurate description of the fuel economy of this combination. Not to mention just as accurate a description of the rear tires with any significant movement of the gas pedal.

The local upholstery shop says they can put seat warmers into cars that never had them, and wire them up to a dash switch. They put them in between the outer covering of the seat and the cushioning. They can put them into the seat only, or the seat and back. I would think that most electrical...

I haven't used it, but I have heard that Sonax Gummi Pfleger Rubber Seal Protectant is really good on rubber and rubber foam products. It is expensive though, at least up here in Canada it is, at $13.99/100ml.

both of my J bodies have 318 engines 4 Barrel carbs (TQs in my case. Only available in California cars and High Altitude cars in the US, they were standard options in Canada. One is a 1980 Cordoba, and the other is a 1981 Mirada. the Cordoba is a Crown Coupe, and the Mirada is a CMX (with the...

My assumption is AOA=Angle of Attack, or in this case, the slope of the intake runners.

There are a lot of people out there who think Facebook, or Google, ARE the Internet. Nobody has taken the time to show them different, so they start up their computers, and go to Google or Facebook, and stay on that site the entire time.

On my 2006 Monte Carlo SS it was a menu item, find the right option, then start with the front driver's side, and go clockwise. Later, GM removed the option on some/most cars and trucks. I don't know if they put it back, as it created quite a backlash up here, but there was a period when cars...

if your nephew's Tahoe has the same bolt pattern as the Suburban, just move the tires and rims from the Suburban to his Tahoe. He will get the low tire pressure warning, but he can just ignore that. He just has to check his tire pressures once a week with a tire pressure gauge (the way things...

In the case of GMs of that time period, I think GM started cutting corners on OEM parts quality at that time. My 2006 Monte Carlo SS had the same issue, but with the backup/reverseing lights. I ended up replacing the socket with a third party socket, and the problem went away. I looked at the...

Well, if you want Christmas music, try this: Its the full album, and its a little bit faster paced than most Christmas music. Has a lot of classic Christmas tuned done in a different way.

What year and model Mopars does this fit?

As a personal opinion, if he his going to change the engines over any way, just go all the way with a Magnum 360. Serpentine belt drive, no need to worry about zinc content in the oil (it already has roller lifters), Higher compression, better heads, and change the intake to a carb or third...

Not to cast aspersions on anything, but I would like to ask if temporary/space saver spare tires are subject to rubber aging/ozone damage the same way regular tires are? If so, where does one by a new tire (the rubber part only) to replace the aged tires? Or am I overthinking this in some way? I...

There is an engine volume, and a body/chassis/electrical/wiring volume. Two separate, individually bound manuals. This assumes we are talking about the factory issued manuals. If you have the Haynes (and maybe Chilton) manual, they may be in one volume, but they are NOT factory manuals.

Is it possible they are hail damage? I know they are pretty evenly spaced, but it seems like they are the sort of dents hail would leave.

Had an interesting talk with a friend of mine regarding Walmart. He doesn't go to Walmart, saying that Walmart doesn't treat its employees properly, so he doesn't want to walk in there. I said that he buys tons of stuff and has them delivered by Amazon. He said Amazon was far better than Walmart...

This has been going on for a long time on eBay. Believe it or not, it is actually prohibited, and at least at one point, would get you thrown off of eBay. Reason is that people artificially price the item low, and then make up for it by charging high (or in this case, insane) prices for...
