    what is best size torque wrench to buy

    But they have to be used correctly, which is why I don't like them. Where we amateurs are involved, they are rarely so.

    '73 440 adjusting idle Speed

    Love it!! There's nothing like idling behind someone who has turned those wide open. The richness will kill somebody!

    Fel-Pro cork Valve cover gaskets SUCK!

    Oh man, that is a damn good question as I bought them close to 20 years ago. It may have been from Summit, but I may have also gotten them at the yearly "Western Street Rod Nationals" in Bakersfield. Their vendors carried a lot of stuff; I know I bought some seatbelts and shorty headers there...

    Thanks. It's similar to the one we have: 258, 3-speed manual, manual brakes and steering, AC, Dana 15 rear. Also a '73. Of course, all that is gone now, but the manual steering and brakes remain.

    what is best size torque wrench to buy

    There is a difference between tightening to "feel" and tightening to a torque spec. If you have a spec, it should be followed. I recommend a good wrench with a 1/2" end. You can use an adaptor for smaller sockets. They usually range from 25 to 150 pounds. Sometimes torque ranged are in inch...

    I've had these aftermarket covers on my 440 for almost 20 years. Never had any leaks.

    What did you do to your C-body today....

    I've seen it both ways. My folk's '65 Newport did not have bulbs in the dash, yet my '70 does. A McDonald's co-worked drove his parent's '66 New Yorker, both in and out worked.

    There is a P-51A similar to this one at the Chino Air Museum. I saw it fire up, taxi away, and fly off one day. Very cool! Very rare.
