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.

Topic: vibration at 65 mph?
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 LeFevre On 7/14/2011 11:03 AM, Jim Altemose wrote:
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. !!!

Doing a little research on the Internet and I see people mention "hub runout" in relation to vibration at highway speeds. What is hub runout? Thanks. - Jim Jim Altemose, Long Island, NY '63 Polara 500 (Max Wedge) '63 Polara 500 (383) '65 Belvedere I (Street Wedge) '71 Bronco
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 In a message dated 7/15/2011 8:49:33 A.M.

Thanks Dodger!, you just answered a question I mever tryed too figger out ! I just thought runout was a general term that meant the part was not straight. ie: That would be" run outside "of intended tolerencs fer sure!................................MO
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 In a message dated 7/15/2011 12:30:51 P.M.

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 impressed.

Turbo charge it! On 7/15/2011 11:11 AM, fd_colorado wrote:
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” ([email protected]”) 110LC solid to 262/.460” ([email protected]”) HYD. HP Poly Cam; or 284/.480-.510” ([email protected]”)108-110LC Poly Solid Cam to 270/.480” ([email protected]”) 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.

Topic: Small Question
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, Tn.
hows the droop factor of the door? hinges shot?? also could the receptacle in the door jamb have shifted? banging means metal on metal is occuring most likely neal
