Some K-Cars have useful power brake boosters/vacuum cannisters that can be used to create a little bit more clearance between the top of the valve covers and the original brake booster.

Is it possible that the shortened driveshaft is out of phase? Also, if you have the original torque converter, you can try to re-install it and see if it makes a difference. 360LAs, being externally balanced, normally do have weights on the torque converters, and the B & M flex plate should have...

Looks like whole front clip messed up or can it be straightened out and just the grille can be replaced. Its far easier to just repair the grille. Hard to tell if the whole clip is just bent, or if it has to be all replaced.

Has anybody noticed any issues with the phenolic body of the TQ 4 Barrel and Ethanol? Its a question that has been floating around in the back of my head for a while. If ethanol can eat the older rubber fuel lines, does it do anything bad to the phenolic body?

is it possible that these are traction bars of some sort? I don't see if the "tensioners" are going between the axle and the front leaf spring eye, or between the axle and the rear leaf spring eye. This part of the description is really confusing: "...shackle and the torsion bar and looks to...

The F/M/J body transverse torsion bar front suspension was intended to have a "big car ride". The big cars (C bodies in Mopar Speak) were also softly sprung, huge beasts( i.e. the suspension was designed to be that way). To get that desired (by Mopar management/sales) ride, they created a...

The F/M/J body transverse torsion bar front suspension was intended to have a "big car ride". The big cars (C bodies in Mopar Speak) were also softly sprung, huge beasts. To get that desired (by Mopar management/sales) ride, they created a suspension that was basically made of marshmallows. Come...

You may be able to check if you have a clogged line by taking a compressed air blower gun, and putting it into the open fuel line and giving it a short burst. With somebody standing near the gas tank (gas cap off), they should be able to hear the air bubbling out. if the fuel line is clogged, or...

Really? a 4 door 1981 Imperial? Somebody should snap that up. Wait a minute.... seems like 2 doors are missing. On a more serious note, I wonder if it has the problematic digital dash, or if the coversion to a carb was properly done? They are really nice looking cars, if a little too close to a...

Intermittent electrical connection, by the sounds of things. Check the nuts and the screw posts on the coil, and the terminals on wires that went to the coil. Make sure they are all clean and shiny. Just a thought from the problem description. I suppose it could be an intermittent screw post...

In the IT world, it was sometimes called PEBKAC, Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

Really good band, and for this song at least (they actually have a lot of great songs with good lyrics), really great lyrics. I think their debut album, although unrecognized by most, has to have been one of the best debut albums of all time. Great band, great lyrics, with great musicians...

A header setup can provide some horsepower gains over a manifold setup. How much is dependent on how restrictive the manifold set up is, some of which has to do with is the facotry a real dual exhaust all the way back, the design of the original exhaust manifolds, the design of the headers...

5 X 4 1/2", like all old school large bolt pattern Mopars. In Imperial, not metric.

I don't know if you were talkingabout the AHB only cars, but my 1980 Cordoba Crown has an A998 in it with its 318-4BBL. My 1981 Mirada CMX has an A999 along with its 318-4BBL. These are all factory original, the transmission codes on the fender tags show them, and I've been underneath and can...

"Don't Let Go" has to be one of the most beautiful duets that exists. Both Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush are outstanding on it. I'm a big fan of Kate Bush anyway, and have liked Peter Gabriel for a long time, so its great to hear them together.

"Steam" seems like a direct lead in to "Big Time". I really liked the earlier Peter Gabriel material, especially between his leaving Genesis and through to the "So" album. Personal favourite is "Shock the Monkey" when Gabriel was playing around with African/World beat type music. His videos are...

A bad bulb would normally cause the right blinker to flash more rapidly than the left. Its either a wiring issue, a turn signal switch, or the flasher itself. I suppose in some odd cases, it could be the socket. I'm betting on the flasher, which is cheap and easy to fix.

Car wizard ended up fixing it and giving it to a friend in need.

That is a great video. I understood why it was wrong from the beginning, but it was an interesting walk through. The stuff at the end about impednace matching can be proven, even without the balls and the heavy math. All you need is some strings (low stiffness) of three different diameters. You...

I only got a commercial for an "Easy & Free Online Quote For Fences!-EverFence".

Getting a small two stroke engine to run properly is a skill, a very specialized skill. I don't know how to do it, and evidently, neither does the guy in the video. If it were tuned properly by a small engine mechanic, I have no doubt that it would start just fine, just like properly adjusted...

Body art isn't a thing for me, I much prefer the natural look. However, even with that, unless you are very close, body art just ends up looking like blobs of colour (in most cases, black blobs) with no details. You can see the details up close, but a couple of feet out or more, and it just...

I don't know how "Super Rare" the Frank Sinatra edition is. There seems to be plenty of them around, along with some of the other designer editions. I think they were produced for a couple of years, with at least 1000 each year. Nice looking cars, but somewhat derivative of the Lincoln MK4/MK5...

Kevin, this is going to be impossible for anybody to comment upon without many, and very detailed, pictures. There are just way too many variables, as in what is the state of the bodywork (read: rust, which these cars are prone to having), mechanical condition, some of the harder to find plastic...
