mustangtek.com is a great resource to assist in identifying the pulley that you are looking for.

My kryptonite is anti-seize. I put it on one bolt and I have it on everything... That's just the way it is...

The arthur cream that I use says to wash your hands after application. Seems counter-productive to me...

Personally I'd take the sound of my old H2 750's with Denco chambers over a norton anyday.  ;D

Along with the smell of Castrol "R". Yep!

Can you run a tight pinion snubber with Cal-tracs? I used to have one that was built up about 3 inches on my Galaxie, ala the old Mopar setups, and it worked pretty well. The Gal has 7 leaves (up from the 406 6 leaves) and clamps

Didn't the higher performance Mopars also have a longer supporting leaf or additional leaf on the pass side

Good day all. Seem to have gotten my starter parts out of order. Can anyone assist?

While replacing the Bendix drive on my starter I have come-up w/ an extra washer (found in rag that I was using to clean with). It's a very thin, .005 approx steel washer. Can anyone tell me it it goes on the armature shaft before the drive, after the drive or after the C-clip? None of my manuals are any help. The internet is a crap shoot...

Thanks all!

I like the BFG's as well w/ black walls out. I have a set of Tiger Paw white walls on Wifey's C2 Corvette. I guess that I like both of these as they are more "era" or "muscle car" appropriate. They typically become long out of comfortable date code vs. wearing out. OK, maybe not the rear tires on the 69. ;)

Diligence and perseverance...

Z-bar and ear at block where trans attaches had to be "slightly clearanced", most (not all) bolts will go in to the head, steering box no issue, ground clearance fantastic. All things considered, to me, they are the best thing going. I just bought my 3rd set so I'm officially destitute.

I like to say that if they were any more difficult to install, it would be impossible...

Just to confirm, "no rocket scientist" here either. I've used Longacre Racing Firebraid successfully. Summit. Multipe sizes for multiple applications.
