    Frozen Water Pump Bolt?

    I've been trying to find my Little Pipe Wrench for days... It's time to break down and buy a new one. I hope I can find MADE IN USA on one. Thanks, Knightrider.

    Frozen Water Pump Bolt?

    After sitting for 32 years, the Factory radiator in the 74 455 leaked like Niagara Falls. I figured I change the Water Pump before putting in the COLD CASE, but the head on the Bolt that goes through the alternator bracket was totally stripped. Ground it off and heat it 4 times, but it won't...

    New Rear Sway Bar Links Are 1/2" Too Long?

    I measured the Old Links from Weld to Weld 9 - 3/8". New Links I bought 9 - 3/4". Does anyone know the actual factory length for 74 455 13/16 " dia Rear Sway Bar. I thought 74 had the 1 Bolt Links. I guess it was a transition year, some old style, some new style. Thanks, One and All, Mart

    New Rear Sway Bar Links Are 1/2" Too Long?

    My 74 T/A has the 2 bolt bottom clamps on the links from the factory. I ordered new Links, but they're a 1/2" too long. Will a 1/2" be enough to mess up Handling and Ride? Or should I send them back? Thanks, One and All. Mart

    No Fuel to Holley Carb?

    Do I have these correct or backwards? Back: Inlet from Tank Front: Outlet to Carb I replaced all the dry rotted rubber, but still no fuel to Carb. Thanks, Mart

    No Fuel to Holley Carb?

    Thanks guys. I would stick the inline in a gas can and ensure the pump is drawing.

    No Fuel to Holley Carb?

    I replaced the High Volume Fuel Pump with an identical one. I'll trace everything back to the tank. Thanks.

    No Fuel to Holley Carb?

    The 74 455 T/A I shipped up from TN a few weeks ago is not getting gas to the Carb. I put a new rubber hose from the metal line into the pump and a new fuel pump. It has set in a garage since 1992. I'll check other hoses and, I guess, drop the tank. Has anyone else had this problem with one...

    I had to remove the Sway Bar links to get them on. Thanks, Knightrider. Mart

    Flowmaster Tailpipes Aren't Cooperating?

    I may have to jack the body up higher. Thanks, Knightrider.

    Flowmaster Tailpipes Aren't Cooperating?

    I'm trying to get 2-1/2" Flowmaster tailpipes on my 455 74, but they aren't cooperating. Is there a trick to getting them to go on? Thanks One and All, Mart
