Well I shouldn't have bragged on my 10 year old Maxxis tires. Still no cracks but one came apart. It was only in the 9th year.

I have a couple where the shift shaft coming out of the transmission is locked up. I haven't taken them apart to see what is wrong yet. I'm sure it isn't good.

Roll cage.

There are a lot more than "some" that use a cam sensor that don't have variable valve timing. I have 4 Buicks, 2 Chevy pickups and an International diesel all with cam sensors. None have variable valve timing and none will run without the sensor. I would for sure run something like a MegaS...

What evidence do you have that 3 ohm coils don't have 3 ohms worth of windings and have a resistor instead?
I couldn't find any info one way or the other.

I just did some research on the Pinto and I couldn't find a single example of them exploding. They did tend to leak gas and catch on fire in rear end collisions. It is very very difficult to make a gas tank explode. The only gasoline explosion I've ever seen was a gasoline tanker truck that was in a...

Great stuff! Thanks!
We need effective length more than travel.
My '62 has shocks that don't allow much droop at all in the rear which seems good to me.

Straighten it. All it takes is a dial indicator, some v-blocks, a dull chisel and hammer.

Have you tried rotating them?

I would bend the exhaust. No way I would cut the body for those.

I don't know about your state but I believe in TX they have to accept it. It isn't up to them who pays tax.

I've had the cables leak after sitting even with a new converter bushing and seal. I'm sure a bad seal would make the problem worse.

I didn't notice anyone mentioning the following: You need to run 10psi less pressure in the front tires. 25 front / 35 rear is good for the Maxxis MA-1s. Check your differential fluid. Your 64 should have a dipstick. Check it regularly for signs of ATF. When the internal seals go bad and leak ATF in...
