Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Trickflow 240 heads and harlan...

Last post by moparguy01 - Today at 09:58:47 PM

I am putting together a 512 with trickflow 240 heads. The valve tip alignment is off. Since i already have the harland sharp rockers, id hate to have to buy another set to address this. Is there any other way? Ive heard about B3 racing making offset shims, but is that the best option? I added a couple pictures of what i am talking about.

The cam is fairly agressive, .588/.606 solid flat tappet, so im thinking it not contacting in the center of the valve stem wont last very long.

Not sure how many of you fellas still check here, but what the heck!

Thanks!

Electric, Gauges, & Lights / 1969 Charger--Convert Ammeter ...

Last post by Chatt69chgr - Today at 04:32:45 PM

Has anyone hired Redline Gauge Works to make this conversion?  What did Redline do and what did they charge?  I'm asking here since I can't get Redline to answer the phone. 
There would appear to be two ways to do this.  One is to buy a small voltmeter (like a Bosch 8215) and do the appropriate mechanical engineering to fit it into the existing rallye dash hole.  They second would be to just use the existing ammeter.  Disconnect the wiring to it and install a resistor in series with the ammeter. Glue a new scale onto the existing ammeter faceplate.  I'm not sure what size resistor would be required. Maybe use a variable resistor like a 500K or 1 Meg Ohm potentiometer in series tied to a 13.6V source and vary the resistance until the gauge needle is at the midpoint.  Remove potentiometer and insert fixed resistor.  Then vary the voltage source and note the gauge needle positions for say even voltage increments from 8-14 volts?  Would need to make a paper gauge face to glue to the existing gauge. Just a thought.
So has anyone chased this rabbit?

Aero Cars / HEMI CHARGER 500 WAS AT WOODST...

Last post by Sbird69 - Yesterday at 08:04:02 PM

There was an Aero car driven to  Woodstock in New York at the start of the infamous 1969 Rock festival.
It was one of the very few built 426 HEMI 4 speed cars with a Dana 60 with 4.10's
Something about having a new car with those two tiny emblems on the middle of the doors that just puts a smile on your face,
You can't say too much more to top that!

Thanks again, Tan Top.
One thing I really like is how TT will post a secondary close up shot whether you can make out the Charger in the wide shot. I find that entertaining.
 

Me too.  I look at it as a challenge to find the Charger that TanTop spied, without having to look at the "answer key" photo below it.  Most times it's fairly obvious/easy, but I will admit to having spent more than a few seconds looking all around that red Corvette picture a few posts above - and finally looking at the closeup... right before doing .

  to you, TanTop!
