  1. George Asche is a great resource for information on R10s and may even sell you any parts you need. He does not use the internet at all, his number is 814-354-2621. His boys (George Jr. and Rob) are quite familiar with them as well
  2. There is also the Mopar A833 swap. Tim Kingsbury has a blog regarding that in the blog section that is very informative. Robert Horne used a TK5 from a Ford Ranger. He takes you right through step by step. You do have choices, but, the R10 is certainly the easiest.
  3. Dang! I lent out the factory screw thread tool and never got it back ? Thanks for the suggestions brother.
  4. I am attempting to replace my leaking shaft seal. I removed the pitman arm, removed the cover, removed the sector shaft, but am having a hard time removing the metal cover over the old seal. I know others have done this, yet, I can't find how they removed this cover. Any and all help will be much appreciated!
  5. . I had always read that they come with instructions, but, not this time. Many thanks fellas!
  6. I couldn't find this answer by using the search engine (here or on the interweb). I have Sealed Power pistons 37P. There is a notch on top. Which direction does the notch go in?
  7. Here are some great posts from Greybeard regarding our old flatheads.
  8. If you go to the blog section of this website, Tim Kingsbury has an excellent one on flathead cams and different grinds.
  9. This is a floor shifter George Asche made for me about 5 years ago. Up and down, forward and back. Works great! I use a piano pedal spring attached to the floor to automatically lift the shifter. I only have to push down for reverse and 1st.
  10. This thread has so much great information on it, especially the links from JBNeal! I am hoping this will bring it back to the top for those who are newbies and want information on their car and truck engines. Graybeards post are just incredible.
  11. That was the one 48Dodger. I appreciate that you put it u,p because we learn from videos like that as well as the ones where everything goes right!
  12. I normally don't share much on here, I'm really a better listener, but tonight I got off with only 2 strokes on my Wang Doodle! Maybe I should explain, with the help of a friend at work, and some scrap metal, we made the 'Wang Doodle Water Distribution Removal Tool'. After reading the horror stories of trying to retrieve this tube from the block, along with a disastrous attempt I saw on Youtube, I was prepared for the worst. A week ago I sprayed penetrating fluid down the water passages to help loosen any rust. Yesterday I tried removing the tube just by pulling on the aluminum piece (aka the Wang) just by hand, nothing. Today we made up the hammer slide portion (aka the Doodle) and I got 1 1/2' on the first pull. The remainder of the tube came out on the second pull. WAHOO!!?? Now I do have to be realistic about my success, as you can see in the picture the tube is in great shape! Yes, Walter Chrysler was smiling down on me today.
  13. Use this link to go to Don Smiths' pdf on using a gm power steering box. He gives step by step instructions.
  14. I have had some issues on very hot summer days, traffic or highway accident, and overheating with the fluid drive. I added an electric fan that I control manually that helps as well as disengaging the clutch. This is not quite on the subject at hand, but, I have seen where some folks go the Chevy valves. What is the advantage to that?
  15. Go to the blog section of this website and look for "Floor shift concepts for Mopar column shift Transmssions ". Tim has some interesting pics. of floor shifters there.
  16. I could be mistaken, but, looking closely at the picture, it looks like the large nut that secures the steering wheel to the shaft was never removed. Is this the same nut that cracked?
  17. I believe those are the spring silencers. They are used so you don't have metal to metal where the springs meet their mounts. I think I bought mine at oldmoparts.com. Should be on both sides.
  18. You might try Andy Bernbaums. https://www.oldmoparts.com/
  19. If they did not have the piston bores cleaned up when they worked on the engine, it is also possible the bores have 'dished out' in the middle. I believe this could give you good compression at the top, but, let oil by in the middle.
  20. Thanks for the report Don! I finally did find it under 'downloads' in an area I've never been to before. I also found other interesting downloads I didn't know were there. Sometimes we just can't see the forest for the trees.....
  21. I've not heard of Don Smiths power steering conversion . I tried doing a search here and on google with no luck. Does he have a website or go by a different name?
  22. It is the same way I routed my D33 as well, except I used quieter mufflers. Works well!
  23. He also mentions selling the duct that you are asking about. I don't know if this is the same as what you are looking for.
