    Experience bypassing a catalytic convertor

    Even if your cat isn’t plugged, it’s still a restriction and removing it from the system should help performance. You are running a 440 through a single 2 1/2” pipe, any restriction you remove will show noticeable gains. Travis..

    1967 Chrysler backup light

    You need to pull the lens to change the bulb. Looks like the screws are already missing so I would say the lens is stuck to the housing by the gasket. Those lights ground through the housing, so be sure there’s continuity from the socket to the body. Many of these types of housing get...

    68 L code 4dr 300

    I would get those exhaust manifolds if nothing else. They will have the 2 1/2” outlet instead of 2 1/8”-2 1/4” ish size. Travis..

    HD leaf springs vs stock leaf springs

    I don’t know what your plan is for tires/wheels, but taller tires go a long way to making our huge cars look more proportionate. There is basically nothing available for a 14” wheel that is anywhere near as tall as the factory tires. Most go to a 15” wheel to get taller tires. There are many...

    Best manifold/carb deal for 383 4bbl upgrade

    I put a Holley 500 2 barrel on my ford 360 about 25 years ago. It ran good, but needed jetted WAY down. They are jetted super rich and do not have ported vacuum for the dist. I put the stock motorcraft back on when I sold the truck. I got the carb out a while back and have been looking to stick...

    NewYorker 1965 in Europe

    Nice car. That rear bumper is certainly bent just left of license plate. Some of the trim is askew in the rear, but there likely isn’t anything seriously wrong. I would just be sure to check that closely in person. Travis..

    Got an unbelievable message today.

    Just a point of clarification, this car does not have a blower (supercharger). It simply has a carb hat/scoop with butterflies. While this scoop was common on cars with blowers, it can be used on any carb’d engine. Travis..

    Replacement Leaf Springs Needed

    In my experience, leaf springs are pretty easy to modify and get good results. I’ve messed with many leaf springs on a number of 4x4s, and on my old mopars when I used to daily drive them. You can cold beat some arch back into them with good results. You need to disassemble them and beat each...

    Emblem restoration 1966 300c

    Do those emblems have cast studs with stamped nuts holding them on? Does the headliner need to be pulled back to get at the back of them? The emblems on my 66 could use a freshening, but the headliner has already been replaced. My car is tucked away so I can’t look at it so I was just curious...

    New Member, New Polara

    Very cool, I kinda have a thing for 57 fords. In the late 70s/early 80s my dad’s boss had a half dozen or more 57 fords out behind their shop. He had a thing for 2 door ranch wagons and rancheros. He had a really nicely restored 57 ranchero with a Paxton supercharged 312 in it. He also built...

    Your car appears to have the black and white interior like mine. I’ve never been a fan of black n white interiors, but the interiors in these cars are very stylish. Travis..

    Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread

    Interesting, everything I’ve seen says the base 300 engine in 66 was the 325 horse 383. Curious. Travis..

    Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread

    My 325 horse 4 barrel 383 in 66 had that single snorkel, but it also has single exhaust. Was there a dual exhaust 383 available in these cars, or just the high output 413-440 cars got duals? I know that the small diameter black unsilenced air cleaner would be right on this 65, but I think they...

    Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread

    That air cleaner is I’m guessing for a 383? It’s the same that came on my 383 powered 66 300. This car should have the small diameter round unsilenced unit since it’s a 413, correct?? Travis..

    Vary nice looking 300, do you belong to capital city mopars? I have been a member off and on since it was formed around ‘93, until I moved to Idaho. My 66 300 is actually on the show shirt from 6 or so years back. My car also belonged to my dad. Travis..

    Mopar 8.75 Sure Grip/ Limited Slip rebuild questions

    I’m sure that just like everything else, it depends on brand, country of origin, and likely when they were made to get good ones. Over the years I had always heard that they were drag race only, not intended for the side loads that street use exerts on the bearing. I headed that advise and never...
