torsion bar ride quality vs coil spring
I am interested to hear opinions and perspectives on the benefits of the torsion bar suspension. I come to the FMJ cars because I like Mopar’s engineering background, and I’ve had dodge trucks since the 1990’s.
That being said, I am not clear as to …
About to do some custom wring for HEI retrofit
Where do I go to find QUALITY electrical terminals, lugs and such? I do not want this to fail due to crappy materials. . .

Tranny filter change => good news? bad news!
