    1958 Plymouth fires up and then immediately dies!!!

    I had a '63 Plymouth that did that. Would start but not stay running. I went under the hood, couldn't find anything, swapped out the switch, still had the problem. I went back under the hood. It turned out that someone had stolen the ballast resistor! I hadn't noticed first time under the hood!

    Must have spares..? What's the essential spare parts to have on hand.

    I have a 1992 B350 1 ton window van that is sometimes near Daily Driver. I pride myself in having enough parts and tools to do anything on the side of the road except pull the engine! Mom's Daily Driver from 1972 to 1985 was a 1962 Dodge Lancer GT. About 1980 my parents went to Florida from...

    My 1 ton van, B series vans, D and W series Pick-ups, use the same pads and hardware. Look for videos for them also. And Craig @mobileparts is The Man for this stuff.

    904 to 727 swap

    I have also done the opposite. I swapped a 904 into where a 727 was in my '68 318 Custom Suburban 50 years ago. I have a parts catalog collection. I forget all the cars that used the same length drive shaft. I haunted junkyards for a month. I finally went to a dismantling yard that had racks of...

    904 to 727 swap

    I think truck linkage is different. I seem to remember trying to put a pick-up big block 727 into my '77 400 Newport and the linkage was different I think.

    Very Rare Mopar Part...Does anyone have more info?

    @FFGREG I am sorry to take so long. I found my early Fifties accessories catalogs. Actually 1949 to the first 1955 issue, I am guessing, October 1st 1954. They have everything from a 6/110 volt electric razor and electric locking gas cap to Mopar lighter fluid and a 55 gallon drum of antifreeze...

    Very Rare Mopar Part...Does anyone have more info?

    @FFGREG @Big_John @58Belvedere @UGW Hi everybody. I need to apologize. I wasn't paying attention. I was looking at the listing on the AACA site with the part number in the manual which is 1779144! The 1779144 number is what's listed for the 1958 cars. I am guessing that yes by the part number...

    Additive to fix Torqeflite shudder?

    When I worked at the dealer in 1969 the PA state police had Plymouths and Fords. When a trooper brought a Plymouth in for service he told me that at 85,000 miles a C-6 had to be rebuilt where a TF kept on going!

    Additive to fix Torqeflite shudder?

    @Rusty Muffler You never know how long the ATF has been there or what quality the PO used. Fifty years ago I used a supermarket brand recycled ATF and had an issue with the trans. I took the car to a well regarded shop and when he drained the oil he knew right away it was garbage and gave me a...

    Stub frame swap

    In 1972 when my father wrecked our '68 Suburban I did some research and found a '68 New Yorker stub frame and had heavy duty torsion bars installed. I was going to swap in a 440 in place of the 318 but that never happened. Problem was that the car rode like it was under full acceleration all the...
