I rebuild a 1966 hand crank wind wing gear cluster. Partially done in 2020. Now in 2024 after lots of use, it gets refurbished gears by aluminum brazing new gear teeth.
Steven’s Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner

Just painted and looks good to me. I did about 6 hours of fine metal work on it and left the rest, ‘cause it’s good enough for the amount of driving it gets (a lot). It’s a late 60’s Mopar air cleaner.

Driving a 1965 Big Block Dodge all the way from Reno to Klamath Falls. I found a special 60’s High Performance air cleaner and went to go get it. This is the return trip. It is a continuation of the other video uploaded about 3 months ago. This 60 minute extravaganza of a Big Block odyssey would not save from my editing software. It finally did, so here it is. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
This is not Uncle Tony’s gig ;)

    …… continued explanation: Looked for something thick and transparent and blue (like used in the instrument cluster lighting), found some blue shrink wrap on some marine ring terminals in my electric 14 gauge drawer, cut and and shrunk to some zip lock bag material because these terminals have glue inside and it would melt and stick to the part if not done first, cool and cut into a blue disc to put in between the LED and the output hole, test in car, color is acceptable, dimmer works with this LED, it is bright, it is much cooler than the 1.7 watt original, power consumption is much less too. SUPER SUCCESS, drive the heck out of the car, have fun, enjoy the hell out of the new lite…. It took 4 years to get to this small part. Thanks for your interest. Share the channel. Cheers.

    Things I had to work out : A-Z…. Attaching the hole spot chrome piece to the tube (JB weld), polish the inside tube for better lite reflection, test, ground the tube to the “hole spot” the JB weld didn’t make electrical contact (see the solder between the barbs and the tube), test regular bulb… too long and too yellow (other dash lites are LED, find used small LED, mod the LED to an old original incandescent #53x bulb, reshape the old bulb lead tip was smashed flat- used solder gun to melt and reshape, solder tiny parts of LED paying attention to polarity, test, ground fault, fix fault, works awesome, JB weld some of the new bulb to stabilize the tiny wires, refit the lead tip to fit the socket in the car (with small file) assemble and test in the car with the dimmer, (looks way too white) find something blue………. Continued next post…..

    I was gonna align it with my $400 kit. Found 1 inch of tow in, which should be about 1/8th to 1/16th ! So I just re-set the tow and I’ll see how it handles and the tires wear. Setting the camber and the caster takes a lot more time.

      Hi. I had mine burn through too . If it’s in the system grounding the wrong part will burn it really fast. You can solder a new wire about the same size, or Actually solder in a spade fuse of about 10 or 15 amps. I put one in which was replaceable. I means you can just put in another fuse the next time you burn it out in testing. It.’s hard ti fit it in, but its doable.

Owned many Dodge/Plymouths when I was a teenager, then worked for a Dodge dealership after graduating at the beginning of the 80s , bought my first 69 Dodge Charger triple Green 318 console car @15 for $950. and of course Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite show .

    Update: that tranny was used and after driving it about 45,000 miles it started slipping in 3rd gear at full throttle. I had a 1970 torqueflite used which I put in instead. That started leaking out the front seal really bad so I rebuilt this 1966 tranny in the video. I bought a couple books and the 65 service manual. The ‘66 tranny is still shifting strong 20,000 miles later. I did good! The ‘70 is toast for now it finally overheated the second gear clutches. I never built it, just ran it, so that’s not unexpected. So after 4 years and 75,000 miles the 66 Torqueflite is in the big block Monaco and running strong with this neutral switch you see installed in this video. Cheers!

    Turns out that the wheel is 5 on 4.75. That means it was wrongly boxed. It will fit a Chevy. I gotta return it. AND…. Just today (3/11/24) I purchased new rear air shocks. The old ones were new 4 years and 60,000 miles ago. They started to fail and I failed to catch that… I drive this car so much it seemed too early. So…. The shocks were almost totally the problem. The 70-80 vibration is gone and the bounce test on the fender is better and the car is more predictable and smoother. Hot Damn!!!

    Firestone is a huge scam. They damaged both of my wheels right down to the metal and didnt say anything. Went back in and had to prove my case. Ended up having to drive an hour north to another location for a manager of some sorts to look at it. They kept insisting their machine cant hurt wheels. Ended up making a claim and with all the back and forth they wanted me to run around and get quotes and in the end they wouldnt match the other two wheels and I ended up just having two badly scratched wheels bc I never got anywhere with them.
