Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Exhaust hum inside cab

Last post by Dino - Today at 09:18:59 AM

Tiny bit of an issue with this. The pipes are 2.5" OD. The resonators would have 2.5" ID, same as the exhaust tips. I was hoping to make just one cut in the pipe and connect the resonators directly to the tips. Besides connecting them with a short pipe on the inside, and a band clamp over the top, I'm not sure what else to do.
Any recommendations on which resonators to use?

Chassis, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels, & Tires / Re: Wheel bearings question

Are you asking if the bearings you listed will fit the inner or the outer? Do you have 10 inch drums, 11 inch drums or discs?
You need to give more information if you want to get help from people.

Aside from setting ride height by the factory specs, the adjustment of camber and caster for these cars isn't that strange. My 2007 Dodge truck had the eccentric cams on the lower control arms.

Can anyone confirm if this set of wheel bearings are likely to fit the front of my 70 Charger please?

Lots of people nowadays never seen a old car with Torsion Bars & have no clue how to do a front end alignment on them. The access plate/hole is there for a reason & they have no clue.

That sucks ass.
I started doing my own alignments last year. I've done 5 cars. They all drive great!

Off for some lovin'

It's finally time to get the front end sorted, following a crap wheel alignment at a supposedly reputable establishment.
They hit me up $275 and the car drove worse than ever, and they didn't even give me a report on the condition of the suspension components.

Amazon has one like that for 28 bucks. Five or six options on eBay. (Hella is out of stock everywhere.)

I made my own. MXA041 board in a generic module box, and a 66 Coronet wiper knob. Ordered the board and box from China years ago. $15 for the set. The knob was probably the most expensive. I wired it so that I don't actually need to use the stock wiper switch anymore, although it still works. I just turn the knob to where I want it.

Paint, Body & Trim / Re: Brighter taillights after ...

For a street restomod I'm a fan of brightening the taillights up.

White painted housings do help.  Look at any modern taillight assy and that's how they are made.  A white plastic inner piece + a clear red outer lens.
