I don't know what EB peeps are using for longer studs, but this conversation seems to crop up pretty often. Whatever you use, you want to make sure that you have 8 full turns of thread engagement (I do 10 due to the fact that the first 1.5 threads forms don't technically need to be full form...

Eaton Truetrac's are great LSD's...no maintenance, no friction modifiers, they just work. Torsen and Quaife were the original race versions, but are 2+ times the cost and not available for as many applications last I checked. Yukon offers their own version now call "Spartan", which if you...

Mountain bike or motorcycle? In general, for more than two bicycles, I've had the best luck with vertical bike racks and currently use one from VelociRAX. I have their wide 5-bike rack, and aside from it being relatively heavy and cumbersome to get into and out of the receiver, it works quite...

Closest ratio to 3.70 for a standard rotation D44 would be 3.73 if I'm not mistaken, but that seems like a lot of effort/cost for a 9% gear ratio change...3.54 would be about a 14% difference. With the .78:1 OD transmission and Ø30" tires, I would think the 4.11's would work well. What RPM do...

I'm with Paul preferring BS, mostly because it's something you can directly measure with a tape and a straight edge, whereas offset measures to a centerline that isn't marked on the wheel, nor exists with any physical feature to reference. X2 on the whole Ø16" tire selection issue...some decent...

Alternatively, you might be able to modify your current steering arm (damaged or not) by drilling it out and welding in a new sleeve for the appropriate size and taper of tie-rod end. I just did this on an early steering arm to adapt GM tie-rod ends, and it worked out well. I got the insert...

That appears to be factory 76-77 steering links and geometry, but it's possible that you have the earlier steering arm as suggested by thegreatjustino above. I don't care for the "inverted-Y" type steering, so my '77 has a conventional tie-rod/drag-link setup, otherwise I'd go and check for...

I feel you. I have a set of big channel locks that I use to push down on the sheet metal retainer for the shifter, as it has some decent teeth on it. I wrap the stick with a rag so I don't tear up the retainer, and then slip the jaws loosely over the "cup" portion of the top of the retainer...

1-1/2" taper per foot = 7.13°

FWIW...more like 120 pounds for an NP435.

You don't have a build sheet for the engine from the builder? While there are always exceptions, anything over 10.5:1 can tend to have issues with detonation on pump gas, and I'm talking the 91+ octane option, not the cheaper stuff. There are things you can play with regarding rod ratios and...

In general, to find a restriction, I'd look for a pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of any given component, but that's easier said than done unless you're setup for that type of thing. Even though it's a pretty basic loop, with the high pressure hose running from the pump to the...

Cool, I'm sure the .005" slip fit will work fine. When fitting circular male/female parts, it's important to note that a .005" total difference in diameters will only result in a maximum of .0025" runout, so while neither number is necessarily problematic, it will be half the .005" difference...

Just my experience, but you do not want a nominal "perfect" fit, as rarely do Ø3.000" pins slide into Ø3.000" holes, even with big hammers, presses, heat, etc. It might sound good on paper, but holes aren't necessarily perfectly round because perfect only exists in theory, everything has a...

When talking cams, and I'm no expert, the three variables that get the most focus would be the following: 1. Intake / Exhaust Lift 2. Intake / Exhaust Duration @ .050" lift 3. Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) Just for reference, below are a couple of advertised 347 builds along with HP/TQ specs for...

Sure, no problem. I'm glad somebody is getting some use out of them. RockAuto 5% Discount Code Expires Oct 11th, 2024: 278192388195642271

Odyssey has always been a really good battery in my experience, though in any big industry like the lead-acid battery industry, there's always shuffling and consolidation going on among the various manufacturers and investment groups. It used to be Hawker Energy, then I think Enersys bought...

Weight transfer under braking is going to be defined by several variables, not the least of which will be the wheelbase, center of gravity, spring/damping rates, suspension geometry, front/rear brake bias, etc. It's normal to get some dive under braking due to weight transfer, but without...

The brakes worked well initially, so find your missing brake fluid, and you found your problem.
