www.powerbrakebooster.com send it out for a rebuild, these guys do a good job. Dave

As noted Mopar paint codes are first year of use specific. The H code with the T indicates a tan color first used in '72. Paint codes are sometimes also applied to a mid year color change which will usually be the following model year code. The third digit in the paint code is the shade of...

Start by installing a new thermostat. It is important to have the engine at proper operating temp to get the proper burn ratio in the cylinders. If the problem persists with a new thermostat, run a compression check on all cylinders and report back. Dave

On a C-Body, the gear vendor unit should fit in the tunnel as is is, it will be tight though. You may have to fabricate a new support for the transmission and gear vendor unit as the stock one will not clear the overdrive housing. Are you going to 3.55 gears or what is you purpose for...

The pickup rear end is wider and you will likely need to reposition the spring perches. If your Dana has 5 hole wheels on it, it was for low GVW applications and will not be the full floating type. We used an 8 lug full floater Dana in some of the racers years ago. As I recall, we had to...

The third members on all of the 69-70 C-Body 8.75" rear end will interchange, do not waste time on trying to build an 8.25" rear end. For serious performance you should use the Dana 60 rear end. A big block car will have the larger diameter u-joints. If you are going for moderate performance...

You will need a '68-early'71 Bendix dual diaphragm brake booster and the corresponding master cylinder. This booster was also used on heavy tow applications and some police applications for the '72 model year. You will also need an adjustable brake proportioning valve to re-balance the brake...

As noted, you will also need to replace the transmission as the small block and the big block have a different bolt pattern. Also a good idea to rep;ace the driveline with the big block unit as the u-joints on the 318 are smaller. You can use the convertor u-joints to avoid having to replace...

Did you replace the accelerator pump when you had the carb apart? Bog on takeoff is usually from too lean a mixture which the accelerator pump is supposed to compensate for. Today's moonshine blend fuel tend to eat up the rubber or leather pump parts to the point that the accelerator pump no...

Those cutouts can be made to balance or re-balance the crank. On the driver side of the block, there is casting date, that should tell you if your car still has the '68 engine. Since you already have the main cap off, pull the bearing from the cap and check the back side of it, if the crank...

I would start by checking all of the brake system fittings. Brake fittings can suck air if they are not tight and properly seated. If you have a spongy pedal, that usually means air is getting into the system. Dave

The gear is probably worn out. You should be able to get this fixed at a quality speedo shop. Alternative would be to find a junkyard unit and swap parts. Dave

16v is an excessive rate of charge. A new regulator will sometimes give off a little smoke as they sometimes have some preservative sprayed on the resistance strips on the back. Regulator is probably defective, especially if it is a Carcrap or Autobone unit made in China. I would suggest...

The top booster is a Bendix single diaphragm booster, the midland booster looks like a B-Body unit judging by the brackets. Send you old booster to www.powerbrakebooster.com and have it rebuilt. (formerly booster Dewey's) they do a good job. There have been a lot of problems with Cardon't...

All you need to do is unbolt the idler arm and that will drop the center link. Unless you center link is bent or broken, there is no need to replace it to service the pan gasket. Dave

Those are factory style linings. The cracking is the result of overheating. It would be best to replace them. Check the wheel cylinders to be sure that they are free and not leaking. Dave

Most of the time you can take some fine sandpaper and clean the contacts if needed, then it is a matter of checking the switch as the gear is rotated using the manual knob to see if the points align properly and open and close when they are supposed to. Dave

There is a switch plate inside the motor gear cover. (Swith is under the cover for the square hole for the operating rod) The cam on the gear is supposed to open the switch contacts to stop the motor once the doors are closed. Usually your condition will be caused by damage to the switch. If...

www.powerbrakebooster.com, formerly Dewey booster exchange does a good job of rebuilding them. Dave

On a power steering equipped car, the Pump may be bad or the spool valve on the steering gear could be stuck. Have a helper attempt to turn the steering wheel with the car running, if the pulley for the PS stops, the belt is too loose. Sometimes the inner lining of the high pressure hose can...
