Well, it appears we're all a bunch of old codgers here. Yeah, the joints and bones aren't like they used to be. I've had a condition in my heel for several years, where, when I get up . .

At the risk of wearing out my welcome . . . . . A new topic to ponder . . . Cold Air Intake vs Warm Air Intake Supposedly a Cold Air Intake provides denser air, therefore providing better combustion. . . And Warm Air Intakes allow the engine to run easier and in the throttle-open position and provide better gas mileage, but at the cost of some horsepower. Between you and me . . . . I just

Thanks Gordo. I appreciate your imparting your knowledge. It's a big help. There's a lot of good guys on this board. Glad to be a member . . if only a newbie . . .

Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout, Willis! I was just going over an older post where you were talking about this. As much as I may miss a stump pulling gear . . . I think I'd rather have street gearing. I plan on softening up the ride too so it's more enjoyable, as I don't see it getting any real payload either, other than dragging shrubs and fertilizer fr

Yep on the 3.54 gear. I'm going to do a little homework on the NP445 tranny as it's all synchro. . . Although, I'm beginning to enjoy the whine in my present tranny. I could either go with the NP445 or freshen up the box I have now when that engine comes out.

I'm loving the idea of acheiving 20mpg hwy. And I'm looking fwd to getting that engine up to snuff in the not too distant future. What are your thoughts on running a Rochester Quadrajet, as that is supposed to give increased performance on hwy while not compromising performance around town, and also delivering good FE. This would end the debate on 2BBl vs 4BBL IMO? I know nothing a
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Good call, thanks! I had the covers off recently, and all looked reasonably good. I didn't see any pooling or sludge. However, there is a noisy lifter that can't be quieted down, so I attribute that to lack or proper maintenance, a clogged line due to running dirty oil or using pennzoil as you have stated. I only have the problem in one chamber . . but it's definitely wor
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Yeah, I plan on checking it out. But I had the covers off not too long ago and all looked reasonably normal with no pooling or sludge buildup. That, combined with the fact that all the plugs looked good save one oily one . . lends me to believe it's the guides. But, it's definitely worth a look see.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I've been digging around, and thinking about what I want to do with the poly in my '64 D200. It's old and worn and I'm getting some oil in one combustion chamber. Luckily, no smoke billowing out the tail pipe, so I'm assuming it's valve guides. Before I commit to a rebuild, I'm reading up on things I think I want to do to make this buggy more enjoyable
