    Takin the show on the road...

    I'm sorry to hear this.. by your avatar pic, you look way to young for this kind of news. Maybe you're just limited physically... and not time limited. Never fully trust the word of a doctor and never underestimate the power of positive thinking and the human body. Travel the south and live...

    65 fury kickdown setup

    Hiya Mate. Sorry I'm jumping in this one a little late. I haven't been on the forum lately. Here's mine, and it's factory on the factory Carter AFB. My block was setup for a late 64 Chrysler model and somehow made it's home in a Plymouth. I changed out the return spring bracket, and...

    What are you working on today??

    Hot as hell here... Hunkering in the basement to stay cool. Playing with my other hobby building/refurbing arcade machines. First one is an original Bally/Midway cafe cabinet running Up & Down. The upright machine is a beatup, cut up old Midway "Gorf" cabinet that I will return back to it's...

    Well, that's just sad....

    There is a guy around the corner from me that has 2 Mopars rotting in his driveway... Same idea. Someday I'll restore them...someday never comes and the cars only get worse sitting outside for 20+ years. One is an orange 72 340 Duster with no motor, and behind it is a white 72 'Cuda. No...

    What are you working on today??

    I took the idea from a write-up I found from a guy that did it in a Charger(?). I didn't take any pics of mine as I was really experimenting when I did the work. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to get it to fit and work. About 6 hours of work between two days to finally get it right...

    What are you working on today??

    Holy **** do you have an Ammeter issue there. Lucky you opened it up and found it. Convert that to a volt meter, and do the Ammeter bypass. Those things are a firebomb waiting to go off. I did mine... Can you tell? I used a cheap Bosch unit as the guts and parts from the original to keep it...

    Spring shackle Alignment Question

    I bought new springs... But a good measurement if you want a little "*** up" for larger rear tires and the classic hot rod look is 1". Don't go over that. It's too high. 1" and use gas shocks... Never air shocks. I got my rake with wheel size, spring arch and gas shocks. If this is that...

    What are you working on today??

    Replaced the intake turkey pan with a new Felpro heat blocker type. Cleaned, inspected and painted the intake underside. Found pitting because of the noise insulation pack was holding moisture against the underside of the intake manifold. Removed the insulation and the metal plate. Keeping...

    They're great. Real old school parts shop, hasn't changed a bit since I was 18 back in 1988. These guys know they're **** and do things right. They were the ones that replaced my stripped LH thread lug stud. Done right! Hmmm... sounds like a plan! Any excuse to drive her around works for...

    Buying 68 Three Hundred help...

    I'll play the devil's advocate here... If this is your first car, and it's what you've been looking for, make sure it's something you want to get into. Buying a car that needs work is always a crap shoot. If you have the knowledge and tools, it's time expense. If you have no idea how to fix...

    carb spacer for my new yorker

    I've read that as well...and that it's there to deaden the lifter noise. I still have my original insulation pieces under the intake manifold. I agree with you, looking at how high the intake will be over the pan, it will be very good airflow from a stock mechanical fan without the front...

    carb spacer for my new yorker

    I ordered the same unit as well. I'm waiting for it to come in. I've been having a lot of issues with fuel perculation/boiling as well. I did find that airflow in my engine bay is a big part of it as well. I have a 17" electric fan that does a good job of cooling the radiator, but poor job of...
