Re: They’re still out there - Barn find 71 GTX

One of Bacca's projects, so only messing with the barn find part....though it almost feels like one because he's had very little time to do any work on it up to now. First time it's been uncovered and seen the light of day in a long time. I'm looking forward to helping him start putting it back toge...

Windscreen fitter

Guys, can anyone recommend someone to fit a (bonded) windscreen please? I had a local guy lined up to do this job for me last year, but had to rectify some vinyl roof rust issues first and now I've finally finished that I find he's shut the business down. I've got the screen, I'm in SE London, just ...

Real shame if this track is going to close - only went for the Friday (as working the weekend), but had a lot of fun! I was a bit nervous at first as by the time I'd driven there I'd only put about 400 miles on my new 512, but still decided to go for a few runs down the track. Crap driver (me) with ...

I'm surprised you can get those type of parts at Rock Auto, but I find them excellent. Most standard service parts I need are usually in stock, at good price and dispatched quickly. Just be careful that the parts in your Shopping Cart don't come from too many different warehouses otherwise the shipp...

Voltage Regulator

Finally decided to fit the new alternator that I bought months ago (bearing noisy on my original one) and after firing up the engine and letting it settle for a while I tested the voltage across the battery terminals - 14.9 to 15.0 volts - a bit too high I think. So, I thought maybe this alternator ...

My understanding is that actual PS fluid has something in it which acts to condition/soften rubber seals. Indeed, if you accidentally pour it into your master cylinder instead of brake fluid it will swell the seals to the point that the brakes stop working....hmm...did I really do that?!? But when u...

There's a quite a few of the 'classic' oils around now, catering for the need of old car junkys like us. I've read loads on it and tried quite a few, but not come across the Lucas oil you mention. I used to use Millers Classic 20w50 and Valvoline VR120w50 mineral (tests show both have more than enou...

Fitted some NOS (old school) Crane 66515 lifters that were apparently designed as a drop-in for standard big block mopar lifter bores . Only a blob of oil down onto the rollers at the extreme of travel in the bore when priming the pump, so potentially a nice compromise between keeping the rollers lu...

Isky have a good reputation for quality. Have you had a look at Hughes website? Normally a good selection of parts and tech info there. Isky do indeed sound good, but at a premium price.....nearly double Comp Cams. Quite possibly worth it and I will look into them some more, especially given the od...

Yep, Comp Cams seem to offer the most options and I know they do a solid body style, which would keep the oil holes covered. Maybe this is the way I need to go. NB: Yes, I've seen all these mega cheap Chinese roller lifters on eBay...best avoided I think....as you say, cheap initially, but could ind...

Cheers Blue. Pete, the cam is Crower 32412 https://www.crower.com/camshafts/mopar-350-440-b-street-roller-cam-280-r-8620-billet.html The lifters, which are the real problem, are Crower 66232. These are about 10 years old - used but refurbished by Crower. But can't find any info on them. On the Summi...
