My 64 Polara has had a vibration for a long time. I've
suspected it was the pinion angle since the car is raised a few inches in the
rear, so a few weeks a go I let some air out of the rear shocks and a lot
of the vibration went away, which kinda proves the culprit is probably the
pinion angle. Just FYI. Jeff

Hi Jim, Many
moons ago the dealership I worked at had a spin balancer that balanced
wheel/tire/drum all together. If I recall the machine was built by
Hunter. They were sort of dangerous but balanced very well. You might
find an old shop that still uses one. Mike

Yup,, used 'em.
Dangerous when it came off the wheel, but no better balance can be
had. We used to do the rear wheels on non posi cars at 45 mph (90
real time). Learned to do that by laying my head on the quarter
panel above the wheel... When yer head stopped vibrating,,, the wheel
was balanced.!!! My boss said I was the best bubble balancer in 3
states,,,,,,, I said he was the best spin balancer in the U.S. He's long
since gone,,, but I stand by the statement. !!! On

Doing a little

hub runout? Thanks. - Jim Jim Altemose, Long

Runout would be
any dimensional changes from original specs, such as loose tolerances on
the machine work used to produce the item, or core shift when molded,,,
IE,,,,,, the part when manufactured ran out side of specs

The term "run
out" is a slang also used when testing an item,,,, such as how did the
car run out,,, which also would go back to ,, where was its
performance/handling/ride/etc,,,,, compared to what is in your mind as
to what the expected specs should be

Why would you
waste $$$ on disc brakes? My Maxxie runs 11's all day and stops with the
drums. Too much $$$ to spend on stopping and you should spend it on
going forward. I would put a 100 shot of NOS before I would do discs. My
buddy added it to his little 289 Mustang and what a difference. It well
worth the $$$ and not to dangerous. I am not an NOS guy, but I was

I would agree
with Dodger that the 360 can build easy HP as the recipes are numerous and
you have any shop that can do the build. However, you need to determine what
your real goals and intentions for your car is. Reading your e-mail lets me
know it is an “original” car so do you want to have the original look with a
wallop packed under the hood – ala, sleeper? How much HP do you want vs.
what you really need to lose traction on the street with Drag
Radials? We can only give you our opinions as to what we would
do but we know what kind of car we want to build. Saying that,
I will give you my opinion and best guess as to what you are looking for in
your build; pump gas engine with enough HP and torque to smoke the tires at
will but not unmanageable street manners – it must start easily, not require
extensive tuning to maintain driving pleasure, not require more than 3500rpm
stall convertor and a 3.91 rear gear...a nice looking, hard running, sleeper
car, with that nostalgic 1963MOPAR look & Hot Rod stance (perhaps
aftermarket rims and 235/.60-14 or 15 Drag Radials; Hoosier/BFG/MT) enough
mods to stay within your budget w/o compromising your “performance.” Need to
assess your true street to strip driving ratio as well. I would
choose the 318 Poly in Hot Street modified form or a 360 Stroker Poly.
Reasons: No expense and hassle of buying a 360 core engine
and changing the motor mounts and swapping to an externally balanced
convertor for the externally balanced 360 engine. The 360 is ubiquitous
(everywhere/common) and doesn’t look “right/correct/or impressive at all” in
the engine bay of a 1963 Plymouth” and will maintain or increase the value
and or desirability of your car. It will also “personalize” your
car...think about what that means to you. The 318 Poly is
impressive looking (wider than a 440) and appears
correct/nostalgic/generates more attention & questions than a HEMI in
your engine bay...that really is worth something at cruise nights... “ “
“ will not require any chassis modifications other than to replaced the old
parts – no modifications/adjustments to anything. “ “ “ High Performance
parts are all available and easily obtained new except for the intake
manifold and there are plenty available on E-bay and swap meets to make this
a non-issue; especially the dual quads. The 318 Poly will meet and exceed
all your HP & Torque goals without exceeding your budget and easily make
425HP and 450ft.lbs.torque in 360” econo Stroker trim and 350-375HP in HOT
stock stroke trim. NOTE: read Nick Tiberio’s e-mail comments about his
360 Stroker Poly I forwarded to this list and question some Poly
builder/owners about the pros & cons of their “built” Polys vs. other
options. You don’t need more than approx. 350-375 REAL HP to reach your
goals outlined in your e-mail with your chassis. HOT Stock
Stroke Poly: OEM pistons with head mill to achieve 9 to 9.5 to one ratio;
10 to 1 can be had as well. Port & polish the heads – 211cfm intake
is enough flow for 425HP and 450ft. lbs. of torque; this with
headers/exhaust gives you the most bang for your buck with an aftermarket
camshaft and four barrel induction. 264/.450” (222@.050”) 110LC solid to
262/.460” (214@.050”) HYD. HP Poly Cam; or 284/.480-.510”
(240-242@.050”)108-110LC Poly Solid Cam to 270/.480” (230@.050”) 110LC HYD.
HP Poly Cam Four barrel intake or dual quad Stock 1.84/1.56” valves OK
or upgrade to 1.94/1.60” if budget allows TTI Headers a must with good 2
1/2” dual exhaust w/H or X pipe through Dynomax Super Turbos or
Flowmasters...personal choice here A 2500-3000rpm high stall convertor is
recommended, but not necessary for the first stage of cam profiles but
mandatory for the second choice of cam profiles and preferably a
3000-3500rpm convertor Rear gears will greatly enhance any engine
modifications and a minimum of 3.23 gears are requisite for any build past
stock if you want to “feel” the value-added to your engine build; 3.23-3.91
for the first step and 3.55-4.10 for the second step
recommended. Electronic Ignition for stock and modified Poly
recommended Engine balancing and unleaded seats are “standard” in all
engine builds as far as I am concerned. 360 Stroker
Poly: All the above with the exception of using LA low-compression truck
pistons and fly-cutting the pistons for an intake valve relief; choice of 9
to 10 to 1 compression ratio. Please e-mail me off-list for
more information or a list of the parts suppliers, local machine shops, and
current prices I have been able to catalog for our “PolyHeads” to make your
shopping and engine building easy. Prices are always changing in the
marketplace but I try to do a search for the best part at the lowest price
and pass it along to our Mail List people. Take care, Gary

Greetings, My
62 Dart sedan is sitting up right now, outside, slowly going to pot. It
would be drivable were I to get the carb rebuilt (float stuck, leaks gas
all over the place) and the blown exhaust manifold gaskets replaced so it
doesn't sound like an Alco locomotive on steroids. But there's one thing
I'd like to take care of, the better to keep things dry on the inside,
which is this: The driver's side rear door don't latch any
longer. It just bangs without catching. The door handle mechanism is not
stuck, either inside or on the outside. The little star wheel in the door
spins freely. Any ideas or easy
fixes? Thanks, Allen Sullivant Brentwood,
