I want to pass along some information gathered while trying to locate 2 original type plain black steel rim for my 71 Dodge Monaco. Nothing earth shaking but possibly helpful to someone. My car came with painted steel 15 inch x 6 inch solid rims but the previous owner (I'm the 2nd) for some...

I see that there was a rider attached to the proposed Keystone pipeline legislation that would have also done away with the ethanol requirements in our gasoline, but our Dear Leader vetoed that. However about 10 days ago I read that Senators Pat Toomey (R) PA, Dianne Feinstein (D) CA, and Jeff...

now THAT would be stupid wouldn't it

I'll get the "dumb" comment over with first:----Be sure that you topped off the cooling system again after having run the engine long enough to make sure that all the air has been bled from the system. I had the same problem with my 440 until I installed a fan shroud after a previous owner had...

I don't mean to jump in here if the discussion isn't related to the pump wiring diagram that BJ posted for me, but if it does then the pump on my Monaco is fulltime and as BJ has noted, it doesn't require a pressure regulator since the output of my pump is about the same as the original pump...

I don't know if you have looked at the wiring diagram or not but it has an oil pressure safety switch that kills the pump if the motor stalls out with the ignition on. I use a standard 3 blade oil pressure safety swith but don't use the "common" connection on the switch. Once the delay relay...

ClipsAndFasteners.com is a good scource to try. I've had good luck there.

I don't know how noisy other pumps are so I can't compare. Without the engine running I can hear it but I think that is good because I am able to hear it slightly change pitch as the carb reaches "full" and the needle valves shut down the flow. That lets me know when to activate the starter...

I electrified my 1971 Monaco (440) a few years ago. I contacted PEGASUS auto racing for their ideas for my (street) use. (I knew nothing about anything) They recommended a Facet Gold-Flo #476087E (4.0 to 5.5 psi, 1.6 amp avg draw, 36gph) not cheap at just under $100 but I'm hoping that it has...

Big_John: Thanks so much for all of you work posting this information!!! I'm hoping that all of what you show will do a lot better job "splaining" how the installation works to anyone who might want to consider using it on their own change electric pump installation. ( I'm really going to try...

You are probably correct in that some "rebuilders" simply replace the bearing, give the assembly a spray of paint, and then hit you pretty hard in the wallet for it, but my last 2 clutch assemblies had the mating surface on the hub and shoe assembly as well as on the pulley machined, requiring a...

reply to your private message tallhair; This friggin computor jumped off line TWICE as I was trying to respond to the private message so I'll try again to do it this way before my head explodes. I'm no help at all as to who rebuilds the RV2 A/C compressors nor do I have any idea of what a core...

That's a RV2. It was used on V8 Mopar cars and trucks starting in 1964 and continuing through 1979 as well as in some 1980 trucks. It will fit cars and trucks (with V8 engines) produced in those model years and requires no modification. the earlier RV2s had rounded oil sumps rather that the...

I suggest that you check for side play at the upper distributor shaft bearing while you are at it. The shop manuals give instructions on how to do that correctly and how much "slop" is allowable. I just grip the rotor and wiggle it sideways and if the "slop" appears to be at the 6 thousands, or...

No. I've only been on this forum since 08/14. This happened to me in 1985 and lasted for about 2 years although I did end up with diminished but acceptable kidney function which continues to this day. I'm sure that there must be many others around (or not) who also suffered similiar medical...

TNTrooper428: I joined this forum with the expectation that I could learn from experts and also to pass along some of what I have already learned that might help others. You "would like to see my medical records"? You can't be serious! However, I just happen to still have the MSDS from way back...

commando1, Your statement that "this never happened" is flat out WRONG!!! I don't care if you've "heard it for years" or not! The purpose of my post was to warn others about what can happen if you have a bulletproof attitude (like I had) when working with parts cleaners. I could name the...

You said that your brakes were sticking. Sticking as in wouldn't release or wouldn't apply? Are you sure that the parking brake cable(s) are releasing totally so that they allow the tops of the shoes to to rest tightly against the upper anchor pin. If the parking brake cable is not releasing all...

Hello all, I want to pass on something that happened to me a number of years ago. I hope that this information might save someone else from a whole lot of trouble.-----My project at the time involved an engine and transfer case rebuild for my Dodge. I didn't have access to a shop type parts...
