The Poly 318's heritage began with "single rocker shaft" cyl heads on the 1950s "double rocker shaft" cyl heads on the 1950s Hemi V-8s. Same basic block, different cyl heads for the lower-priced models. The LA318's heritage includes the Poly 318 block, which is why the bellhousing patterns...

All of the aftermarket (at least) LED bulbs have a cooling fan on their backside. LEDs themselves are "low draw", for the light section, but the cooling fans also take juice to run. All OEM sealed beams also generate heat at the wiring connectors on the bulbs, even the turn signal bulbs . . ...

Compression readings are relative to the elevation altitude of the vehicle when the test is done. Most of the specs usually indicate "At or near sea level". As long as the readings are within about 20psi, all is good. When I was "worried" about cylinder wear on our '66 Newport 383 2bbl, I...

Aim and BEAM PATTERN. The ONLY aftermarket LED headlight I've seen with a decent beam pattern is the Holley Retrobrights. Otherwise, check out www.danielsternlighting.com for better headlight solutions. European E-code light housings with good bulbs (all of which are about 55-65 Watts in...

It's my understanding that "deck height" is cut after the crankshaft main bearing saddle "line hone" is done, as it is that place that all of the upper machine work is based on. Then, each OEM-family block has the "deck height" dimension which is measured from the centerline of the crankshaft...

Seems like there is a member in here that sells the factory look-alike electronic regulators, on eBay?

Axalta, which I believe is the brand that superseded/bought DuPont's automotive paint business, still has a "single-stage" acrylic enamel paint product. GM used acrylic lacquer paint as Ford and Chrysler used acrylic enamel paint, only. In general, many body shops liked to use acrylic lacquer...

In many respects, the 8-track (and probably the prior 4-track set-up?) had a design flaw where the tape would rub against itself, going different directions, as it ran its loop in the cartridge. The malfunctions probably happened when the tape's lube ran dry? Cassettes were, basically, a mini...

In the middle 1960s, the Texas Highway Dept would order base Dodge Coronet sedans sfor their supervisors. The deck lid was removed and a drop-in metal "box" was inserted in the opening. Had the side panels rolled just like a step-side pickup truck's bed panels were. Seems like only the '66...

I concur that somebody got a drum (possibly from a salvage yard?) and installed it. Everything fits, no issues. The second picture is what I would consider a normal brake drum from back then, with fins around the outer circumference of the drum. Many OEMs did that. In a Sears Automotive...

"Junk"? Nice looking "junk". But what we might consider such is a treasure for somebody not as well informed. BTAIM In the middle 2000s, some guys had started an oil well fracking company, sold the company and one of them went to B-J Scottsdale and invested his windfall in classic cars...

Which Corvette switch? After I bought my '70 Monaco Brougham (with factory cornering lights), I determined the reason the horn did not work was the factory Rim Blow steering wheel horn switch apparently had a history of activating when the interior temp got over 80*F. So the horn relay was...

Don't forget about the www.hamtramck-historical.com Library, with the dealer order guides (which also include the standard and option equipment by model and carline), too. If the link does not work, input the address manually. Happy Holidays! CBODY67

Thanks for that information. The Carter BBD had two sizes. The "LA" motor/"318" size and the "B" motor size, with 1.56" throttle bores. The "Carter BBD 1.5" has a larger and more rounded float bowl section. The smaller "318" size has a more curved/angular float bowl section that is smaller...

Also look at the input side of the steering gear for in and out play in the input shaft on the box as it is turned from the center position. A wear point that can be adjusted with that big spanner ring on the gearbox. That plus the coupler and other steering column/gearbox interfaces.

What do they claim the additional $778.00 is for? How did they determine that amount? I'm not sure about "weaponization" per se, although it might certainly seem that way, but it could well be "people not knowing what they are doing" nor "understanding what they should be doing". At least...

Respectfully, that noted number looks more like a Holley casting part number for the particular PART of the carburetor, not the 4-digit "List Number" (for the complete assy), that on 4bbls, was usually stamped on the front of the choke plate housing, near the top edge on the driver's side part...

Looking at the standard and optional equipment listings in the sales brochures and dealer order guides. Unless it was a HP engine, the 2.76 (and later 2.71) ratios were standard. The HP engines had 3.23 (and later 3.21) ratios as standard. BUT those ratios could be flip-flopped too. Which...

The first Magnum 500 repros I saw, years ago, were from Wheel Vintiques. At that time, I strongly suspect THEY are the manufacturer (or have them made for them). This was in the later 1980s. Seems like every '68-'70 Charger and B-body that was at Mopar Nats in the later 1980s had those 15x7s...

Additionally, outside of the "more center" part of the adjustment, more pre-load = higher spring rate and the opposite for less pre-load adjustment.
