  1. Use the impact wrench to snug things up, then finish going round the clock with tor-kay wrench
  2. OMG it's like Twilight Zone (You remember, right?) Stuff happens. As pretty as hub caps are they can hide danger. Hand it to Chrysler at least they did opposite threads on wheel bolts. 85 -90 ft lbs please
  3. Just added new fuel line and electric fuel pump. Man what a difference. Booger starts like NOW.
  4. Good point Ivan. Rear main seal and tranny leak can be cornfusing. Leaks arent the worst thing. youll figger it out with the pinky test in tranny
  5. Ivan I donk know wtf that wire was...it should not have been there. But good to see running temp is normal. Now lets get the cholestoral down
  6. Nothing wrong with it. Bump into it while it's running and your sweaty
  7. Who wouldnt love those results? Rough math sez 65mph at 2300 rpm in OD? what Im talkin bout
  8. Very impressive break down... And yes the 49 3.73 with an R10 skips right along at 70 mph (Wish I could find a R10)
  9. Wow lots of work there but doable when you seen other members replace floor pans. For the trunk lid start with French Lake Auto in Ana nadale MN
  10. 50 light years away I installed an R10 to a P18 and used a choke cable for OD. no solenoid. No issues. But I didnt have the Randy Rundle Tech book. If your interested in R10 ODs its a must have. Theres one on Ebay $22
  11. If my washing machine only worked that good..weird
  12. I suppose we need not worry about the simplicity of plain ol 30w motor oil anymore. Cuz ya cant find it. (lest not Yalmart no mo)
  13. Heres the thing 49. Back in 49.. Your car used 30w (probably detergent motor oil) and the 3 sp manual tranny was a no brainer 80-90w and the rear end as well. So lets over engineer everything and decide what worked then is no good now.
  14. Suicide doors? Um I'm no historian but I doubt that's vw. I'll take it
  15. Booger

    No spark

    Hey y'all. Skinner spot on Screen shot it and print it. Put it in your repair manual. Dumb stuff.. Dont forget condenser
  16. have we gotten off topic here? synthetics are useful in engine oil. Go to whatever church you like there. But gear oil is gear oil. 80w-90. Done (and OBTW nothing wrong with Yalmart 10-30)
  17. 5 Plymmies in 50 years (3 49s) always 90w front and back. Just keep em topped off
  18. There you have it kids and thanks to all our contestants. Booger sez steer away from all that goopy stuff
  19. Both good points and well taken. It's why were here
  20. Does an undercoating make sense? Protect the raw steel floor pan? DIY Flex seal? Professionally done?Its gotta quiet road noise. Of course no drive shaft.....or tranny stuff.
  21. Looking good! Please get a new plug wire set with 90° rubber boots
  22. Theres a R10 od manual out there By Randy Rundle the guru of bw r10s
  23. JC! Someone up top discussed the cargo weight issue. For the biz coupe Fuller brush man was about volume not tonnage. I suspect there is a GVW somewhere stamped on the fw. The biz coupes wb only a few inches shorter Same springs and what not. 4 adults and their luggage to the big city for the weekend. (Including hats) I would say 1000# would be safe
  24. This I'm interested in. Take us along on your journey
  25. Rim strip is good. 2 of my P18s had a very sweet double pin under windows following curves of fenders. Red on grey And black on tan. They were painted I think Booger would like white on green
