I have also used Slime.. Smear it around and let it dry...

Never had run tubes...Way easier to balance, but do run rim screws as like other's said it's more for safety to keep the bead from coming off...

But, to keep the front end solid and add a rear suspension would obviously be going in the wrong direction.

Wrong!!!There are more Altered's out there than you can count with a 4 link or ladder bar with no front suspension!!

Don't bother with the front as it would make it a lot better to add a 4 link to the rear with a nice set of double adjustable shocks. Plus it will make the ride way more comfortable

Marty, So It may be important to figure out what fluid to use before a converter is made for your combination for the correct stall speed.... By the way Im going to hit the dyno on Friday the 8th so if I call you Monday morning with this info can I have a converter by Friday :scratch: :mrgreen: Oh a...

Marty, is this 10w ok to use for the trans???

I have also used tractor Hydra/trans fluid (non-Synthetic)in this trans so can I just drain it and fill it using a new converter that I will get from you??

Jeff, I may be wrong (I don't think it will be the first time :scratch: ) but I would try and set the rear so when it's under power the shaft and pinion angle are straight or close to it... Can you drop the engine in the frame??? Even if you can get it down some like an inch or two should help some....

Acetone evaporates really fast so how does it do when mixed???

I also here that the d.e.p. is going to get that stuff off the shelf soon so stock up while you can.......

Billy, Have any pictures of the "original car" ???

Ams oil makes a synthetic compressor oil that works very well and it is available in several viscositys. For most apps we see the 20W being used (nitrous , blower or turbos that spool easy) lightweight 6.9 senistoke for nat asp or turbos that need a quicker spool time Marty, Im nat asp and as soon ...

Are any of you guys using compressor oil in your trans??? If so what grade?

Looks like it could have used an anti-roll bar

Billy's 4 link back in the late 50's I guess...Wonder if this is where a adjustable 4 link set up came from???
