Like I told my son Porsches are expensive whether it's the girl or the car.

You guys realize I also own a beamer and that's how I pronounce it and I don't care what the hoity-toity types have to say about it.

Andy makes a good point. I actually checked the torque on my gearbox bolts this summer, two were loose.

Sorry I spent a lot of time out at sea. I read every book on the ship that wasn't a tech manual and started reading the dictionary.

You know, a pump up garden sprayer and some fittings would make a very cheap priming tool. I use a similar rig to clean injectors.

It's carbon, a byproduct of burning hydrocarbons. Modern cars have cats that run at high temps to help ameliorate that. Probably jetted too rich still. But just using the choke will richen it up anyway.

You know, having driven a few turbo cars over the years, 89 Plymouth minivan, 22 Silverado and a 15 BMW 535i, I love the supercharger. Holy cow, talk about right now acceleration. Now I really know what they mean by turbo lag. Of course, there is the old saying that if you have turbo lag you aren't driving it right. Gonna have to get my HP fix

I did see it when it aired originally. Had no thoughts to get a Jag back then though,

Well if they hadn't written it in cursive LOL

Yes, tanks inc is wrong. Your rides uses a thermostatic gauge, not an electromagnetic one, Essentially, your gauge has two heated bumetallic strips inside that controls the needle by varying the readings based on the two inputs from the sending unit. Without both inputs the gauge doesn't work properly. With the more common, today, electromagnetic setup it uses one magnetic field and a spring. The spring wants to move it to zero, the field wants to move it away from zero based on the strength of the magnetic field.

Not sure when MoPar went to mounted the upper shock mount to the frame, rather than the upper control arm. Many have relocated that mount to the frame to improve shock performance. There are a number of threads here detailing what people have done. For myself, I just got the collapsed and extended length numbers from the stock shock then perused Speedway Motors online catalog using those numbers as the search criteria. I was able to find a set of modern gas charged performance shocks that fit the stock shock location after I drilled out the mounting bushings from 1/2" to 5/8". A substantially improved setup, imo. Is it as optimal as relocating the upper mount and using a similar shock in that setup? Nope, it it much better, yes. As for the steering, others mentioned tie rods, yes they wear so inspect and replace as needed. Another spot to check is the steering box mounting bolts. two of mine were loose.

Not necessarily, if the pedal ratio is correct then the effort is similar, but the travel is increased. I had a manual disc brake Dart that had nice pedal effort, but it was a factory setup properly designed. With the pedal ratio and M/C bore diameter balanced. However, in a setup like the OP's you are constrained by the existing design and that can cause pedal effort issues. Especially is you go with a M/C bore diameter that is too large.

I went to sleep early. Just another say in my life.

You are welcome. The linked source was a bit slow getting mine to me, but I got it. I have not installed it yet so no idea if it's as quality as it seems, but being Toyota and from what others have said, I'll bet it is. I have GE LED headlights in my 51, this kit is going in my 65 Cuda.

You would be better off going with this headlamp setup and putting 6 H4 bulbs in it https://www.amazon.com/OCTANE-LIGHTING-Halogen-Headlight-Headlamp/dp/B00GNTZ9SA

Well, how bolts/screws hold tight is the stretch imparted via torque. Not enough and they loosen, which probably explains why all those darn Jeep 1bbl holleys kept loosening up on me, till I loc-tited them, I dunno.

That's not even a torque spec, guess he meant in-oz? That works out to 1.5 in-lbs though with the high spec, way too low imo

I usually put the video on You Tube and post a link here. For our YT challenged members, I'll host their video on my YT account.

That's what lawnmowers are for, using up old oil. Lol. Chain bar oil in your chain saw, etc I would not use it in anything expensive

So you are saying you do not want a roiling boil then? All you really need is some very hot water, if it's boiling profusely you won't see the float bubbling.

Not too sure vintage powerwagons is going to be a source for a lot of stuff, not sure many PW's came with the Hemi. But, here's a link to a source for engine stuff. http://hothemiheads.com/dodge/index.html

That is a fairly esoteric statement. Care to elucidate upon how it shows you where the hole is?

She would be in the passenger seat, ducking and running LOL

Wow that's a crowd. We only have eight at our place

That is the truth. I came home from work once and my 51 was half in the road half in my driveway and I don't have a steep driveway at all. Well technically you can't get caught. LOL
