Hello All, haven't posted on here for some time. I'm finally getting back into getting my '55 Dodge p/u going. My question, in short is, can...
Thanks Guys. I did some poking around in the net after I posted and it looks like it was a common thing for awhile. Theory's range a bit from cam...
Hello All, I'm assembling the lower end of my '64 318A (poly). I just noticed that the old Rod bearings have a notch or relief cut into the end,...
Squirrel, your right about the bell mounting ears and that bell weighs a lb or two. I don't mind fab-ing up a cross member and mounts, more...
I have a '55 Dodge P/u with a '64 Poly 318 (A-motor) backed by an NP435 -granny low (6.69:1) trans out of an W200. The truck has been in my family...
Gary, you hit the nail in the head. My grandpa never addressed the problem and now it's mine. Pat & AVEE8, unfortunately there isn't room for an...
Hello All, its been awhile but I still have the same prob. but I now have the facilities to raise the motor and all that will entail. That said I...
You mentioned something I forgot. I had to pull the thermostat because the thing would overheat within 10 min with it in, yes, I checked the one...
I think, though I'm no sure, I can move the rad back by mounting it the the other side of the cradle. If I can than clearance will be less of an...
Years ago my Gramps dropped a 318 poly into his ol '55 Dodge p/u after my uncle blew the original 259 (?) v-8. There lies the problem, the 259 had...

Lair, I wrote that after reading the auction and before I took a look at the internals of the gauge. I shot the wires today and the sender in the...
I spoke to the proprietor of Dodge City Trucks and he confused the shit out of me and is telling me I don't need a voltage regulator. Since this...
