  1. Wilcap made an adapter to do just that. They probably still make it I don't know I haven't looked lately. But if I was going to go through the aggravation of sticking an automatic in my ride it would have four speeds with 4th gear being Overdrive.
  2. Well SKF makes the Speedi sleeves and they also make seals so I think the answer is there
  3. The problem with shooting for good quench is that you're connecting rods and your Pistons all have to be equalized. Yes it can be done and yes it's going to cost money.
  4. Sometimes if there's enough humidity and the clutch sits long enough the pressure plate rusts to the disc and they kind of glue together. Ran into that issue when we went to go pick up the mutant nuclear Super Bee in San Antone some years ago.
  5. Not a problem I ain't doing it for a living so I'm not under any kind of time pressure to get it done quick. When I rewired my Plymouth I spent the whole weekend doing it 24 hours but that was because I wanted to get it inspected so I could drive it.
  6. Well theoretically the bore is straight and true and there shouldn't be any variation to speak of from top to bottom or anywhere in between. As far as I know there's no specified clearance given the parameters you mentioned. However there is a specified clearance and it's applicable anywhere in the bore. I don't know what it is off the top of my head though
  7. In texas, out of state purchase has to have the VIN number verified before they will issue a title. If it already has a Texas Title then they will reissue a title in your name without a VIN check. However, we have an annual safety inspection and the inspector is supposed to check the VIN number. Of course that safety inspection goes away after this year.
  8. It is my understanding that the oil does not go to the filter until the bypass valve opens. Which is why it is called a bypass oil filter.
  9. Hmm, I had my last kid when I was 40 as well. But he's only 18 now. Can;t help on your question though, sorry.
  10. That would depend on the alignment of the bulb pins compared to the bulb contacts. If they are inline then yes, otherwise no. For all we know one of your bulbs is shorting the two contacts in the socket together.
  11. Got a Dorman 927302 for my 51, haven't fitted it up yet, so no comments on how it'd work.
  12. Silly question, is there gas in the tank? The gauge might be lying to you.
  13. The switch part pretty much all works the same, this one is an aftermarket wire setup. It doesn't cover a hazard circuit though.
  14. Here's a graphic that may help understand how the turn signal switch works
  15. Actually, you can get new contacts, did that when I rewired my 51. Hey, if/when you get around to wanting to rewire your truck, give me a shout. I'd be happy to spend a day or three helping you out and BS'ing.
  16. A circuit will find a ground if there is any possibility. When that happens wonky things occur. In the case here, I suspect the turn signal switch more than anything else. Simply because that is where the choices are made as to which light is being lit and when.
  17. It is brake b r a k e not break
  18. I was trained to solder when I was in the Navy and the pull test was definitely one of the things they did during training of course my solder jobs may or may not had to survive combat so there was a little more on the line there LOL I still solder by hand and I probably will to the day they put me in the ground
  19. All I have to do is read the so-called customer commentary to know that this is not something I would even look at much less use
  20. That thing got a hemi?
  21. Are we to guess what year, make and model?
  22. I suspect the offset is there because if it was directly aimed at the valve center line it would be obstructed by the valve pocket casting. I suspect the offset is to allow the coolant to flow around the valve pocket casting , carrying off the heat and then unto the water outlet and ultimately the radiator.
  23. I don't think that is unique to today. I am pretty sure they existed, in similar percentages, back then as well.
  24. One learns to push start, if that isn't motivation enough to get the starter sorted it will at least be a work out.
