Great weekend with Bill Allphin. Photobombed Jay Leno, cruised the coast in a classic convertible, met Jay Leno’s car painter who was impressed with my work, and Cheryl’s car took first place in the class. What shall we do next year?
If anyone will be at Spring Fling I have this grill I took out of the daughters Duster (put a new OER one in). I restored it 5 years ago or so but it does have a spot we sanded out to fit it over the 73 and up ac dryer (made custom lines before the new OER and put it back to pre 73 AC. Has...
Is anybody going to Spring Fling in Van Nuys and need something that I may have? I have a complete basically new 9 inch front drum brake set up spindles and all, that I took off the dart when I went to disk brakes. I have a set of 63 rear leaf springs. They are a little soft, but there’s nothing...
Back when I did my daughter’s Duster I bought a MOPAR Performance water pump they had the original looking “+” style hub where the pulley bolts on. I can’t find MOPAR Performance Waterpumps at all now. Are they still available?
After a disappointing search I have decided to try to make some of the more obscure Packard 58 connector housings for the earlier cars. This are the samples I have on order from Shapeways to see how they looks and print.
1) Early Ignition Switch housing (switch in the dash)
2) The classic...
Are there any catches to using a flex plate for an LA and LA 360 Torque Converter on a stroked 360 Magnum or will any LA flex plate bolt up to the Magnum and I can choose either the 10" or 11" 360 Torque converter?
I have a 24 spline A100 727 that will be getting a 408 Magnum attached to it.
Can someone point out a flexplate and stock rebuilt TC that will work with this combination?
Thanks.
Jim
Early A’s get some respect! My wife was thrilled her car was selected.
This is decked to 9:1, oversized valves, Dutra RV10 cam, Dutra Duals cast headers and the Offy intake. My model says maybe a bit over 200 but I was shooting for driving torque down low so it has probably 250 ft-lbs at 2000...
It has been a while since I have posted this so for new folks. If you want a manual convertible top latch that actually works (it is a bit bigger than stock but it will HOLD) or '66 headlight adjusters that are rivited in I have them on my Shapeways Store. Note I make zero profit. on these. The...

Is there a spec somewhere what would tell me what the stock ride height of the rear would be? My springs are soft and I am trying to decide if I want to get new stock height or 1” lift. Want to lift it to the stock height to see if that is where I want it. 63 Dart
Not sure where to post this so I’ll start here.
A buddy has bought an enclosed 20’ trailer from a buddy of his in Cleveland. He needs to get it to Tucson. If someone needs a car moved from east to west in that general direction between Cleveland and Tucson PM me and I will give you Bills...
Saved from the dump, pushbutton 904. $25 if you come to Sonoita Az to get it (pay for my gas to get it). I’m going to Barrett Jackson next Thursday in Scottsdale so we could meet there or thereabouts too. $50 if I take it to Phoenix or Tucson and meet you. Unknown condition but red fluid and...
Has anyone used these? Will they work with stock rods? I have had a set of 318 Wiseco pistons that wouldn’t.

Now the A100 is painted my buddy is feeling the pressure..
.... he has been dreading doing this setup but it is now done so the block can start through the process.. He almost destroyed his line honing stones on my first 225 when he realized there is a small step at the back of he block that...
This guy has every possible way to built a slant in 1:24 to 1:8 scales including stock, hyper pak, blown, turbo, 3 Webers, etc ...
I had to get a DCOE version... 1:24 scale.. super nice printing.

The '66 Valiant I recently finished went on a long interstate trip last weekend and it was rather a "cool" day for us in the low 90's. It is a 360 that has aluminum Edelbrock heads and a 4 core radiator by Bob at Glenray.. factory shroud, correct factory direct drive 7 blade fan, all lower...
Great day with @65dartcharger and my buddy Alan Shrock in Arizona. I thought Ulf came the US to fix my oil leak but both he and Alan seems to just walk away when the real work started... I'm sure Ulf will blame it on the heat....
