Re: Piston ring job

Do yourself a favor. Use some Seafoam and see if you can't free up the rings. If the valves were problematic, the rings could be gummed up too. Not to sound bitchy, but if you are asking these questions about rings, you have no business inside the engine. Find someone in your area who knows engines...

Re: Where would you look first (engine "miss" at idle)

The coil still might be an issue, the vent lines are NEEDED to keep the coil from over heating and breaking down. I would suggest putting air pressure through the lines making sure they are clear of any blockage, the fittings at the intake are designed to draw the air flow through the lines. You can...

Re: Flywheel Question

I would stick with the stock one. heavier and balanced for that engine. Chrysler engines were balanced really well even back in those days. usually they don't need machining anyway. just take some 60 grit sand paper on a block of wood and go to town. Yes you can go to town that way! Why not be sure...

Re: did 1954 m37 trucks have the fuel primer on them

If your Engine is in proper tune and the carburetor is adjusted correctly the choke and accelerator pedal is all you should ever need to start in most climates,but In extreme cold a block heater solves that problem. :wink:

Dot 5 was first available in the very early 70s. My personal likes of dot 5 is the fact that silicone-based brake fluid does no...
