I have never checked my PVC valve on Goldie. I don't know why but never have. I have done several things to her this year, each making significant improvements. Rebuilt heads, dual exhaust, electronic ignition, finally getting the carburetor set up perfectly from the cold idle to the choke. It...

I'll talk to anyone who approaches me and wants to talk about Goldie, but I love the pure reaction of the young ones who have never seen anything like our cbodies. This is a picture of my cousin's boy who saw my car and said "sit??" Of course he can. Over the years my favorite comments have...

I had some extra work involved in my installation. I have a garage space on my farm which my grandpa poured the concrete probably 75 years ago. Good quality concrete but definitely not level. I cut and jack hammered out 3 areas, I increased the areas from 1/2" to 3". A skid steer definitely...

I woke up at 3:00am and thought, did I tighten the bolts from the exhaust manifold to the exhaust system? Answer No. I remember I needed to get an extension socket for one of the bolts. I went over to the leftside which gave me a bunch of fits and forgot I never went back to tighten them up. I...

I bought this electronic conversion with a new distributor conversion a decade ago and it has been sitting on my shelf until yesterday. I started looking for electrical hook up advice and see this set up is not at all popular. Should I just stop and start over and not even bother? If so what...

I installed a new positive cable coming off the battery going to the starter and then there is also a positive lead to a block on the firewall, where the fuseable link is located. Previously I had power cables coming directly from the battery to 2 amplifiers for the stereo. I would like to...

Don't exactly know what it is called but I broke the leading right at the base. It is mounted to the intake manifold and wired to the coil. I would be open to a new universal one if anyone has a suggestion. I did find one on ebay but there is no way I am paying $87 for it. Thanks

I can't believe I let this go on this long, but he is supposed to be the best in the area. I did take your guys advice and have the 516 heads exhaust valves enlarged to 1.74 with hardened seats and valves. I have started the process of the reinstallation and any advice for this novice would be...

I said 10 years ago when I remove the cast exhaust manifolds again, I would ceramic coat them. I am very happy with the look and hope the external heat reduction will keep the paint from cooking off the bottom of my valve covers.

I had a post about swapping out my original 516 heads and after you guys comments I decided to recondition what I have. I got lucky last Sunday and had a beautiful sunny day in Ohio to work in the unheated garage. They came off without any issue. The good news I will hopefully have them back by...

We had a nice first annual car show this weekend in my community. We were basically at capacity for the space of around 170 cars. I love how there is always that guy showing his car which was ordered from the factory, and it's claim of 1 or 1. This one caught my attention because of the...

1970s Dodge Van Turned Boat Could Storm the Beaches of Margaritaville I found this article interesting. I find it rather scary that a fireplace was an option on this boat. It is pictured inside on one of the photos and appears open flame wood burning fireplace. What could possibly go wrong there?

Goldie I suspect has burnt valves. I am going to confirm this tomorrow. I have never performed any internal work on the engine, except change the timing belt and cam 10 years ago. I am not looking for anything which will change her drivability. She has a 383, factory 4 barrel, cast exhaust...

I was going to lunch this week and noticed the 300 on the trailer. Not certain the white one sitting on the ground is still there, but there is a strong possibility, because I think there was another vehicle in front of it. I couldn't snap picture because of the traffic, I pulled this off...

I pulled this video from a post. It was mentioned that the 1960 300 was only available in 4 colors but it may have been a factory option color similar to the New Yorker Iris. If it was a true original factory installed color would it be documented any where on the car like the fender tag?

Goldie hasn't been running great all summer, but going out to dinner last night, it got much worse. It definitely seemed like a fuel delivery issue. I haven't changed the fuel filter for several years and I still have my original refurbished tank so that seemed like a logical place to start. I...

This just popped up, everything on the right side is fine. The left side blinks at the same frequency as the right side, but every bulb barely lights from dash, fender, front and rear. Ground issue somewhere?

After finally sorting out my brake issue, I have decided to install new wheels and tires. Based on other threads posted here I have bought American Racing V501 17 X 7 and installing 235 60 R17 tires. I was able to install my old bullseye center cap after I clipped the legs off the old...

I did the 73 disc brake conversion on Goldie, my '66 300. Everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong. Even with a reoccurring irritating issue, I never regretted the conversion because it can stop on a dime now. The very irritating problem is the front right caliper would grab after you...
