    67 Coupe trunk seal?

    I've got a new trunk seal but i'm not sure which way it goes on. :shrug: The old one was pretty much gone. The trunk seal looks like a horseshoe thats been closed up. As i'm looking down on the trunk lid (its off the car) which way does it go? Thanks I found the answer, so nevermind.

    8" ring/pinion setup question...

    Its hard to tell if there will much be noise or not. I'd give it a try and see how it goes. It might be a little more work later on if its too noisy, but if you're friend can't get them any closer, either use it or take it to someone else and see what they think. You'd think all gears would...

    8" ring/pinion setup question...

    From what i can tell, the pinion looks a little to deep and shims need to be added if you want it out further. The pattern is close to what i usually ran in the race car. You want slightly heavier toe in high horsepower, good traction cars because the load will tend to pull the gears apart...

    Cragar SS wheel ?

    I bought a set of Cragar SS 14x7 with 215-60 BF Goodrich tires last year from a guy that had them on his car for over 3 years with no rust or peeling of the chrome. They are the 4.125 backspace and they sit in the w/w real nice and clear all the suspension components ok. I think the unilug...

    Last rearend disassembly question...

    You did remove the copper washers, right? Although the PO may not have put them back. You could always try a come-a-long. Hook the cable around the yoke and attach the other end to the trans crossmember. Put some tension on it and tap it with a "real" hammer. You may want to put a couple...

    Tom, Which kits are the ones like that? I've looked at some and haven't seen any that say anything about this. Thanks

    Need stroker info and head info

    I'm about ready to start on building my 302 and need some info. I've been trying to read as much as possible, but still not sure. I'm looking at a 347 kit. I may even consider the 331 if to many problems with the 347. Does the block require notching? What about oil consumption, since i've...

    Installing Timing tape.

    If you think the balancer has moved, i'd just replace it. TDC can be a pain to find with the engine in the car. You need a positive stop to screw into the spark plug hole. Rotate the engine by hand until it comes up against the stop and mark the balancer at the timing pointer. Rotate the...

    Shortening a 9 in. at home...ideas...D.Hearne,old time hot rodders?

    I've narrowed a few 9"ers. I had some aluminum "donuts" made where i worked that would fit the carrier bearing and housing ends. I then bought a 5' piece of 1.5" cold rolled steel. I used a tubing cutter (rented) to cut the axle tubes. It's more work than a cutoff saw, but the cutter leaves...

    In Search of... Rack and Pinion Info

    I know someone that just had a Flaming River rack break inside the body of the unit. Its on a 160mph Super Gas drag car. It broke on the top end and he wound up in the weeds. Luckily not much damage. He said Flaming River tech was crap and didn't even want the rack back to inspect it. This...

    Problem installing Pistons

    One thing i would try. If the engine is on the stand and upside down, without putting the pistons in the cylinder, try putting the rod (with the bearing) on the crank and torque it down. Then see if you can rotate the piston/rod assembly around the crank. If it doesn't move, then you know the...

    Problem installing Pistons

    When you checked the rod, did you have the bearing in place and torqued to proper specs? If not, it won't be accurate. I would also check the crank journal size on that journal to the one next to it. Have you tried installing #8 without #7 in to see if it turns? This problem sounds like...

    First time at the track!!

    Nope. Don't wait to leave on the green. Leave on the last yellow. If you see green, you're late. You're ET can be affected by how you stage. If you stage shallow (barely turning on second lite) you'll have a quicker ET. If you stage deep (turn out the top stage lite) you'll have a slower...

    (Tech) Tell me about camber

    Did you do an actual on car study or computer theory? Just curious because bumpsteer is in relation to the rack versus the suspension movement. I am under the impression, if the rack and suspension have no bumpsteer, then a larger backspacing will not change this. The reason i ask is because...
