I'd like to find accurate reproductions for a repaint myself.
That's a thought. But I'm not sure I have enough original axle width for the slightly wider stance I want. I also have to drop the axles about an inch lower for the front steering wheels to clear...
The wheels and tires came in. Will have to make new axles since the wheels require 5/8" OD and the wagon came with 1/2" OD axles. I may also kick the rear axle back about an inch or an...
Home Depot is shipping to my house for free. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-13-in-Pneumatic-Replacement-Tire-GCT-13-8/328568676
By the way, the Harbour Freight 13" pneumatic tires/wheel are absolute garbage. One of my buddy's is a golf course superintendent and they replaced a number of pieces of equipment wheels with the...
Trying to find Gorilla cart 13" pneumatic tires through mail order on-line proved fruitless. Everyone is trying to sell the flat free tires. I was surprised to find Lowes has them in stock for $25...
Thank you!
Just received an extra filter element in the mail. Was skeptical that I would actually receive it. The air cleaner is a go as I can find the time to work on it.
I've decided to go with a larger 13" diameter wheel/tire with ball bearings. The wagon currently has 9.5" tires and friction bearings without lubrication, so the heavier the cart is, the harder it...
With my new tool cart, I may try to pull some of that stuff when I see it in the future, like the brakes, sway bars, etc.
As I get older, I cannot tolerate excessive drone in the cab. Therefore, I want to try running a resonator in front of the muffler in hopes of reducing noise. The muffler change provides me with a...
I'm only selling the one set of bullet mufflers Mike. They were originally going on my '98 Dakota but I went a different route. Once that set of bullet mufflers sell, I won't be making more,...
I found out the other day that K&N discontinued the Viper panel air filter that I plan to use. K&N told me they had a lot of products discontinued in 2023. Probably not selling enough of them with...
Sounds good! :biggthumpup:
I modified a used Radio Flyer wagon for use at the salvage yard to make things easier moving tools and picked parts around. I made a frame for it to increase the rigidity as well as a platform to...
The powder coater should have special high heat tape that they cover areas not to be coated.
Could also be worn valve guides/seals. I would first look down the throttle body and see how much oil is sitting in the bottom of the intake manifold.
Deck heights can vary from engine to engine. I've heard variations of .030-.060. I think I have a block under a tarp covered in snow. I may be able to measure it at some point. However, it is...
Try a combustion chamber volume of 59cc or 60cc. In past measurements I've found 59-60cc (un-ported) Edelbrock heads.

At 60cc...
It's an LA head. It fits a Magnum but isn't cheap. It's a nice head but some Edelbrock's with good port work can work just as well.
Double check your spark energy. If you are getting a bright white spark you should be good. If the spark is a dull yellow you likely aren't getting enough spark intensity. I've had back-to back bad...
Is the Challenger seat style year specific?
Funny! It does look like an old intake turtle. :biggthumpup:
The next step will probably be to make the merge collector.
Fabricated the header spear (aka, spike, pyramid, bullet, etc.) that will be welded to the end of the header primary pipes within the collector, to improve exhaust scavenging.
Cut some 2.375 long...
