    Is KYB "Losing It's Stuff?"

    customer supplied or it was the part number that matched from your supplier? wonder if the supplier or customer got the wrong part. I bought the gas-a-just for a 67 fury from rockauto, and the shocks were the same size and everything. A few of us down under (and some on these forums too) have...

    Aftermarket electronic locking...

    Did you ever get around to installing central locking? Been thinking about how much I actually use that in my car without even thinking about it. Would also be a neat little project while I wait for Firm Feel to upgrade my steering box.

    '71 C body - where to add radiator overflow bottle?

    On my 67 I mounted mine right beneath that hole. Car had no AC and I figured I'd just route the refrigerant lines elsewhere so I picked that spot since it was perfect with the bottle I bought. Dunno if your washer bottle can sit flat against the radiator support if you rotated it 180°, then see...

    How replace the 1972 Chrysler Newport custom 440 2dr Sway bar bushing?

    I did this a while back, as per that thread, drilled a hole through the spot weld then had the guys in the workshop split it apart. Now it's easily serviceable.

    Chrome Wheels Or Wheel Covers

    That...is actually a really good idea. Gonna do that right now to my police hubcaps...those definitely weren't cheap.

    Chrome Wheels Or Wheel Covers

    Probably a case of magnum fatigue. every classic car seems to have them so it just gets boring.

    Steering gear box choices

    Well I see that Dodge Rams still use a steering box, right up to last year (unsure about 2025 models). Although that might not be a good comparison because truck steering boxes would likely be different to car steering boxes. or maybe they might be closer to our C body boxes than I think...

    Steering gear box choices

    I wonder, how do modern steering boxes from the factory (not the aftermarket offerings like Firm Feel, Borgeson etc. that we like to upgrade to here) compare to the steering boxes from 60s passenger cars? Do they still have problems with center numbness/slop/play, lack of feel etc. etc. Mind...

    BBD - 2 barrel - rebuild/replace - Need suggestions

    Gah, I forgot yet more things you'll need - Edelbrock #1481 - this adapter allows their carbs to work with mopar throttle cable setups. Been a while, I think I got mine off Amazon because again, best price. Optional: Edelbrock #8003 - I only say optional because I was able to juuust make the...

    BBD - 2 barrel - rebuild/replace - Need suggestions

    Happy to help. I forgot yet another thing - I bought my AVS2 via Amazon - as much as I don't like being a Bezos enabler, they had the cheapest price of anyone selling the 1906, cost me around 750 aud.

    BBD - 2 barrel - rebuild/replace - Need suggestions

    Hehe thanks. I need to take a more recent pic of it though, with the freshly replaced brake lines, master cylinder and everything engine-wise buttoned back up, I have to admit it looks pretty nice now, definitely nicer than that pic. I think the runners are very similar lengths between the two -...

    BBD - 2 barrel - rebuild/replace - Need suggestions

    Wow...that's actually really good for a barge that size too...great news for me as I plan to daily my 67 in Sydney lol. And +1 with what Gerald and CBODY67 say - the AVS2 is great, I got the 1906 model with electric choke on mine: It's only a 4 bbl when the secondaries open up, which won't...

    i own and scanned 1978 shop manuals for you all. Radio service guide as well

    Oh dear you're right...their youtube channel has a facebook link that points to a non-existent page lol. I posted a comment on their latest video asking if they had any email address at all...although I'd be surprised if they ever replied.

    A/C Conversion from R12 to 134A Question

    I was only joking. meant to be a king of the hill reference lol. But I don't think I've ever seen butane used as a refrigerant in any automotive (or any) cooling application.

    A/C Conversion from R12 to 134A Question

    It wouldn't have butane in it would it? Butane's a bastard gas.

    A/C Conversion from R12 to 134A Question

    Just keep in mind that the non-refrigerant grade stuff like that is good for a quick fix, but if you want long term use and don't want to increase the chances that you need to rebuild the entire system, just fork out extra for the proper refrigerant. Only stressing this because I feel like this...

    A/C Conversion from R12 to 134A Question

    Yep, systems designed for R134a from the get-go are sufficient given that they were designed as such. The issue is retrofitting R12 systems, which is where HC-12 shines. Some people use propane straight out of a bbq gas tank, and while it does work, it's really not recommended because a) it's...
