    spark plugs

    Scott S. replied to Batman's topic in Engine Tech

    I've had good luck with NGK plugs. YR5, YR5GP, YR5ix.... Depending on your driving habits.

    I read somewhere that Acura seats (buckets) were an easy swap. One could even get seat warmers.....

    You like big butts and can not lie..... lol

    There's always the option of giving it legs and furnishing the garage......

    Good eye !!!

    Switching from the 10 bolt to the 12 bolt widened the control arms enough to rub the exhaust.... Had to re adjust a few hangers to get rid of the rattling noise. Otherwise, it went in perfectly. Even used the same U-joint.

    Ahhh... This picture makes more sense.

    They're home made.... The originals were damaged, so I copied the pattern onto a piece of 3/16" plate steel.

    The 12 bolt came from a '72 El Camino. The original plates were in rough shape.

    Thud or a clunk ?? How good are your air shocks and rear springs ? Might just be the differential or control arms hitting the exhaust. I wound up switching to gas shocks and re routing the pipes because of a similar issue after I installed a 12 bolt. So it could just be something simple. ;

    cam choice

    Scott S. replied to Batman's topic in Engine Tech

    I've got pretty much the same set up, except with the edelbrock 1405 carb. and 3.31 gears. I like it, but recommend a torque converter about 2300-2500 stall speed. Like Cbolt said, it's all in your transmission and gears.

    How much lift does the new cam have ?? From the looks of the lifter you have, it appears that it would have issues at any rpm.... Lifters shouldn't have different diameters like that. Any float and the edge will catch and shrapnel your engine.

    Could have gone green....

    The car Kendig set up was so the owner could take his son on a road trip from Chicago to L.A. on route #66.

    You could get the missus to rig them up with some aroma therapy candles..... Maybe apple pie scent would be nice. I don't think they've come up with "94 octane" scent yet.

    Planning exhaust tips too ??
  17. Scott S.
    Have you flushed your coolant system recently ???

    It was a "Blues Brothers" replica, right from Mt. Pleasant, Illinois. '75 Monaco.

    Worth the mention... lol And that's $5000.00 Canadian dollars.

    Caught an episode of "Bitchin' Rides" the other night where they reconditioned one of these cars...... Interesting.

    There's one up here on Kijiji for $5000.00............ If you're looking for a project.
  22. Scott S.
    Same here.... That's why I like a short driveway.

    Many men and women from many countries came together to stand against united against oppression..... I'd like to thank them all.

    New Guy Here

    Scott S. replied to jft69z's topic in New Members

    So that's what that thing is for ?? It came with the house, but I grew up on a farm, so I'd never seen one..... lol
  25. Scott S.
    Actually, my shed is full of bits and pieces I've collected over the years..... So if I can't build it from there, I take the part to the store. Most staff these days usually just blankly stare at me when I tell them what I'm looking for.
