    New rear springs

    Agree with you in regards to the Mancini HD springs. No difference from my original leaf springs. Ugh.

    New rear springs

    Found them on Facebook a few weeks ago. Guy selling them is the Chrysler district manager from our area and is happy not to gouge folks in the Mopar community. They were to go on another guys E-Body but Owner went another direction. Anyway, not much difference in ride height, and I really do not...

    Looks amazing. What a great Fathers Day gift to take it around the block! We took ours out and hit a few wineries. Life is good.

    This is what my 73 has. Behind that triangular piece are two holes on the valance like yours.

    First trip on the road

    Rebuilt the thermoquad yesterday morning, slapped it on the newly rebuilt engine in the afternoon and started it up. Sounded great, whew. Then took it around the block this morning for it's maiden voyage. All good, so went directly to a car show 24 miles away. Returned home, no issues. What a...

    Windage tray torque?

    What's the torque for the four windage tray bolts for my 340? Seen 15lbs and 95 inch pounds.

    Oil pump drive

    During priming, I got oil up to the rockers on both banks. Looks great. Took awhile to figure out the correct orientation of the crank/camshaft to make this happen. LOTS of spinning! So now, when trying to install the oil pump drive hex end into the pump, she just will not fall in, even with a...

    Oil priming question

    For a small block: To get oil up to the rockers on the driver side (1,3,5,7), turn the crank to compression stroke of #6TDC. Spin the oil pump. To get oil up to the rockers on the passenger side (2,4,6,8), turn the crank to 90 degrees before TDC of #1 compression stroke. Spin the oil pump.

    Oil priming question

    Just received the new gaskets for the 90 degree oil filter adapter from Mega Parts. Copper gasket for the end of the bolt and a white "plastic" style gasket for inside in lieu of the cork one that I was not thrilled about. And a new bolt, that I do not need, but will probably use. Also...

    Oil priming question

    I know, right. I have always wondered why you do both. For me, I just want to make sure the oil is getting up where it belongs before slapping it in the car.

    Oil priming question

    Just want to confirm that when you prime the engine with oil on a LA small block, the direction to spin the oil pump is clockwise - correct?
