    That is a shame. Hopefully things will improve for them, and their product offering.

    Crutchfield Radio.

    I dont know about the fit for your specific car, but i bought a radio from Crutchfield relatively recently. As far as reviews went, it was a toss up for the best between Kenwood and Pioneer.....i think Sony was right there too. I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of the Kenwood i...

    Discover engine model. Help!!

    Big Brother is watching you lol. So, for $900 bucks, some folks may think they are getting a steal for a good bottom end. But heres the question.....you can see the obvious marine stuff is of no use for a car application, but how much inside is useless?? Cam and distributor, along with...

    Rear transmission extension question

    Possibly, if the mount was allowed to twist or otherwise allow the trans tail to move from its centerline. I have seen them missing a bolt and still sitting in the proper location, no vibration. Maybe not a lot of stress in this area, just a good bit of weight?? Probably a real issue if one...

    anyone try lacquer thinner to clean a catalytic converter?

    Very cool....ive seen them inside, but your photo kinda reinforces (at least in my mind) that you arent going to "clean that out" once it builds up lead or other impurities, no way..... maybe move it in deeper, but thats it.

    Shift is crisp

    Torqueflites by design are 100% mechanical/hydraulic beasts as im sure you know, at least they were for the first thirty plus years of their design existence. Clutches and bands allow for the transition between the three speeds relatively smoothly. That being said, shifts and transitions...

    anyone try lacquer thinner to clean a catalytic converter?

    Let us know how it works out...... But dont say we recommended it.

    Can I clean a catalytic convertor?

    Surely a part of that equasion is because they figure (in many cases), whatever is wrong with your whole motor that ruined the original, will indeed ruin this one as well. No way they can tell what you are really doing with/to their new product.

    Can I clean a catalytic convertor?

    "Clogged" in my experience is a buildup at the entire surface of the inlet end. There is no way that i know of the remove the impurities from that surface. I would imaging anything hot enough to burn them off would also break down the ceramic core and add to the problem.

    Pulling in neutral

    Pretty sure this can happen to any of them, regardless of the vintage. Ive seen it even in aftermarket and modified valve bodies.

    Pulling in neutral

    This! Other posts are all correct.....check the cable first. If all other tips come up empty, check the valve body cracks.... pushbutton VBs are more prone....i have some pix of where to look ( have to find ).

    What axle housing will serve as replacement for 1973 Polara 8 3/4?

    Nothings going to be EXACTLY the same, except other C-bodies, like yours. I have one I'm saving for a rainy day, and I'll bet you could find one in your area as well. If i were you tho, I'd just fix up the one you've got. You are never gonna break that housing....most shops would just fix it...
