Hey Jerry! I sent you a text! I'll try calling when I have a chance to chat. Things are crazy here just before Christmas and I wanna have a clear...
I found a "Ron Shapiro" on LinkedIn and sent a connection request. Guy's the right age. He works at a Toyota Dealer in Merriam Ks. I'm gonna try...

Hey, dood....from San Diego.
Dare-To-Be-Different...he's running a mechanical pump.
There is an old trick to getting flare fittings to seal without tape/sealer. Disconnect the fitting. Slide the nut back on the line to expose the...
I second that. Easier to do it that way than do it again later.
If this is a drag only car I would set it up in a loaded position. (compensating for spring wrap) If not, i would measure the angles in the...
Poor mans way is to jack up the car and rotate the axle. If it's posi, lift both rear wheels. Mark the pinion yoke and housing. Spin the rear...
Exactly. The invisible lines of the pinion and crank centerline should not converge, but be parallel. The angles need to be equal or the...
This leads me to believe it is NOT the spider gears. Nor the transmission. Crawl under it and try to move the pinion yoke up and down. There...
Man, I had to break out a pen and paper. I (finally) agree that you have neg 3 deg crank angle and pos 3 deg pinion angle. Your U-joints should...
I did, however, find this... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166225 Possible Y block part.
If you're running Windows Vista there is an update for Adobe that will fix the browser lockup issue. I was unable to find info on that P/N at...
+1 on Mutton Hollow, too. He's in my e bay favorite sellers list.
If you're concerned with strength you can weld the axle tubes into the third member, then add a girdle and axle tube braces along with "C" clip...
To determine how much space you need you can mock it up with the rockers and VCs you want to run and modeling clay. Place a 1/4" thick piece of...
I have an old one for a sbc. I would suggest calling Mallory for specifics. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width="100%"...
I doubt it is brake related as you said you rotated one wheel and noted the other turning the opposite direction. This is normal for a standard,...
Since your car was a frame-off I assume quality is the first concern. I have had zero issues with Danchuk quality.
Very nice. Now that you're a rock star and your car is a TV legend, will you still hang out with us flunkies?
Advantage would be putting the shifter where it's most convenient for you personally. Disadvantage is mouting it in the floor then changing your...
Any parts I have to buy that may be hard to locate later, I tear the part # from the box and file it with the receipts for that car. Most of my...
Not true. You are simply using the wrong brand of starter....
And?
Now's a good time to but that hi-torque mini starter. It will fit both flywheel diameters. Father's day gift ideas!
Did some research. GM OEM # 340298, 3991404 Pioneer Inc. #FRA-104 (w/weight) 168 Tooth 12-14 pitch My cost=$20 :cool: Walk in at...
I ran a 400 sb in one of my 69 el Caminos. I agree with Engine Pro. An authentic 400 flywheel is worth the $ in time you save jacking with the...
Glad to help. Like Tommy said, be sure to give yourself access for adding oil.
Ole Reliable, Just a reminder. If you drive it like this and you don't have a PCV valve you will blow oil past the main seals.
