Cool! I have an old dodge 318 LA. I think the original ignition is toast. It would breakup at higher rpm. Now it doesnt work at all. Which distributor do you recommend?

It won’t need any special distributor and I just make sure I don’t go too cheap from the parts store.

I don't know if I missed it in video, but could you tell me what those rims are called. I think they would look killer on my 76 Volare Road Runner.
@stage0garage10 күн бұрын
They’re called sawblade rims. You can get directional ones so they point the same direction on both sides. If you look at these, they point forward on one side and back on the other. Our Cougar has directional sawblades.

Not sure if you still have it. It's AOD you don't have to shift in out it's automatic. I thought mine was bucking also but my uncle lifetime Mercury owner said it's upshifting and down shifting when you press the gas take your foot off do it it again. It's not good to do that and run it on super unleaded you will get much better performance

Setting up the hei module outside the box( the distributors).Very cool.I just brought and msd 8401 ,hei distributor coil in cap delete .Where i purchased an external oil filled 12 volt coil to replace the one in the distributor cap.For coil heat reasons that gradually destroy the epoxy filled hei coil( layer shorting) in cap which slowly destroys the hei ignition module in distributor i hear.Car runs better than it did in a long time.Had to touch the hood of car to see if engine was still running.What does that tell you.Any way nice modifications,awsome idea and video.

the smoothness of the Slant Six is a great paring to the ultra-smooth transverse torsion bar FMJ cars.
@HelpingHand-ic4wt3 ай бұрын
The transverse torsion bar setup is designed to supply a good amount of "deflection". That is when the wheel hits a bump and is pushed rearward, as the speaker was mentioning. It's one of the most effective means of neutralizing Noise Vibration & Harshness. When new, these cars were advertised as having near full-sized car ride quality, and that's when a full sized Chrysler had a 124'' wheelbase. This 2 door Aspen is on a 108" wheelbase, the four doors were 112.5''.

These cars have several rubber isolation pucks at their sub frame and rear suspension locating points. They ride very smooth and quiet.
