  1. 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.
  2. I went to sleep early. Just another say in my life.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. That is a fairly esoteric statement. Care to elucidate upon how it shows you where the hole is?
  12. She would be in the passenger seat, ducking and running LOL
  13. Wow that's a crowd. We only have eight at our place
  14. 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
  15. Somebody's got to say it. Merry Christmas to all y'all.
  16. With the engine running watch the ammeter turn on the headlights you should see the needle flick towards discharge momentarily until the generator catches up. Or turn the engine off turn the headlights on and the needle will go towards discharge
  17. It might behoove you to look at the hot rod industry they make a lot of trunk openers that are designed to be adapted to just about any application. Sometimes you get lucky and you can find later model parts that'll fit. For example I put in an electric trunk opener in my 72 Dart it came out of a 79 Cordoba and bolted right in the only thing I really needed to do was wire the switch. Unfortunately I have no idea what may or may not work in your application⁸
  18. A funny semi-related story when my oldest daughter, who is now 40, it's learning to drive I had an 87 Dodge Diplomat with a four-speed that I put in it so she learned to drive in a stick car. Years later after she had gotten married she was moving and had rented a big U-Haul nobody else there, I was 250 miles away, could drive a stick so she drove it and it was the biggest thing truck U-Haul rented. Well she called me up and said dad what am I doing wrong every time I shift gears it grinds the gears. I told her oh you're driving a non-synchronized gearbox. I never taught her how to shift one of those because I never thought to really. I tried to explain how to do it over the phone and she wasn't getting it So eventually I told her is it your truck? She said no and I said do you care about it? And she said no so I told her grind away, lol. Once she got in town and we unloaded her truck I showed her how to drive a non-synchronous gearbox in that U-Haul. Funny thing is is a couple years later she joined the army and became a mechanic it was the only mechanic who could drive a stick
  19. I don't know what to say I got the receipt from AutoZone RockAuto does List It as available
  20. Well I pulled the trigger. Got me a supercharged XF. 35,000 miles. If you see an old fool flying down the highway with a stupid grin on his face it's probably me.
  21. That line is so you can siphon the tank empty when you go to pull it.
  22. They all use the same timing set, I ordered it from Autozone, they had the best price. SA Gear 73111
  23. Those red and green felt washers that you can buy at this parts store actually work good.
  24. I guess the question now becomes can you get another pressed in zerk fitting? If not I guess you'll have to thread that end cap
  25. I don't know enough to know if it reads lie data or not. The factory too is called DRB scan tool. In Ebay it's in excess of $2k. I did find the user manual online though, It doesn't specifically mention it can read OBD1 sensors
