Welcome from North Alabama!

I just developed a metal scrubbing sound under the passenger side valve cover. (I attached an audio file of the noise.) I was inspecting to see if there was any noticeable damage. Didn't see anything. Decided to check valve clearance. I was confused when there was none. Still trying to find the...

Tried to measure the valve clearance on my 351c. According to the manual,  you put the cylinder on TDC and torque the rocker arm bolt and then, while pushing the rocker arm with a lifter bleed down tool, measure the clearance.  Well, my rocker arm wouldn't budge and there was no clearance...

Anybody know if you have to loosen all the leaf spring bolts to change the shackles?

The springs are from CJ Pony Parts. They are both the same. The difference on the back is 5/8".  If I change the shackles, will I have to loosen all of the bolts holding the leaf springs or can I just take the shackles off?

Thanks for the info. I don't know alot of detail about what was replaced on my car before I got it but I'm sure that some of the rear body parts were. If air shocks are out, how about using custom length shackles to slightly raise and even up the rear? Any other ideas?

New rear leaf springs raised my rear end 1 12/16" on one side and 1 15/16" on the other.  My rear measurements are now 3/8" different.  Neither one looks high enough to me. (The front springs were replaced at the same time.) I'm thinking about air shocks to get the rear end a little higher and...

Great job man!!!!  Looks Awesome.  I love that orange.  Any mods to the car? Is it all factory?

Scary!!!

Is there any hope for repairing gauges that have been subjected to moisture and have internal rust? At least one terminal (on the temp gauge) freely spins also. Also, are there any aftermarket gauges that will mount in place of the originals.....with or without modification to the original...

Where are the points that click? If you can, explain the principle by which the clock works.  I'm pretty lost. First time I've ever looked inside a clock. Lol
