21. expanding on stacks (score: 1)
Author: "Larry Vaughan" <lvaughan@pldi.net>

I bought a couple of K&N filters for my 40DCOE carbs. APT recommended 45 DCOE filters for 40's with ramstacks / air horns. The backing plate holes allow the stack to be inserted but not seated. The c

If you have a 4.11 rear and a J-type overdrive, on a standard 3-rail, will 4 high be a gas saving mode? Or equal to a 3.89 rear and a standard 3-rail without OD in 4th. Is 20% overdrive correct for t

Any time you change the clutch or rebuild the transmission, you should replace the pilot bearing. Fill the void with grease, then drive an old input shaft into the pilot bearing. It will squirt right

When you de-arch the rear spring, will the spring rate change? If you use a block, to lower the rear, will the geometry change? If you redrill the rear vertical links, to lower the rear, will the geo
