Dumb question: isn't there supposed to be two streams of gas in all carburetors? I have a hesitation problem and checked the accelerator pump. Only one jet was shooting fuel. I am guessing something got past the NEW fuel filter I installed. It is a Carter 2 bbl. I have never removed the jets...

I have no idea what is wrong with my 67 Dart with a 273. I have had two other people look at it and throw guesses, but we have not made any progress. Here is the problem: it starts great and runs fine for about a minute or two. Then it just quits--almost like the key has been turned off. It...

Anyone ever have a leak at a tranny bolt near the oil filter? I just dropped the engine and then mated it to the transmission. My guess: I might have torqued the left side down too tight before getting the right. Sound possible? Anything else? Also, I had thes parts left over. The top two nuts...

Hey folks, I am having what I think is a fuel problem. I will do my best to describe the problem. This is my main focus for the next few days, so I can get pics, videos, and will buy the beer if you can stop by and help. We just dropped the motor back in, and it started right up. We let it warm...

I just reinstalled the 273 in my 67 Dart, and I was hooking up all the wires when I came across something I was not expecting. I have a wire that looks like it goes from the starter relay to my automatic transmission. It is grayish, brown or tan in color. Is this correct? And if so, what is its...

Good Saturday morning everyone. I thought I had a timing issue a few months back, and now I am seeking help. I would have asked sooner, but I pulled the engine, painted the engine bay, painted the engine, and polished or painted every nut, bolt, part and piece. I am ready to drop the engine back...

i took apart my front end on my 67 Dart, and I was not paying attention to my nuts. When I went to put it back together, I noticed one of my nuts was different from the other. They are obviously different for a reason, so can anyone tell me which sides they go on? But my real question is why are...

i ordered new nipples for my new water pump, and the seller sent me four nipples to fit my SB 273. The two small ones fit; however, the larger one was way too small. When I called, he suggested that I have a post 1970 water pump. I did not want to argue the point because I am not sure how...

On my 67 Dart with a 273 automatic, I need to put a new gasket on my oil pan. It seems like I need to take apart my front end to get it off. Or is there a secret? I was thinking about just taking off the old gasket and trying to clean it as best I could, but I am not feeling good about that...

My timing cover from my 67 273 Dart is shot. I need to replace it. Did the part number change in 1969 or 70? I can get my hands on one from 1972, but the part number is not matching. The big name suppliers either do not have them, or they want big bucks if they do. Any advice if I cannot use...

I cannot figure out the "plunger" problem on my Carter carburetor. It is quite possible that I reconnected it incorrectly, but I cannot figure out how. There are two links to videos. The first shows the plunger working without the linkage hooked up. The second shows where the linkage does not...

Been away for a while. We bought a boat, and the cars went on the back burner for a while. I went to drive my 67 Dart, and I guess it missed me and was throwing a tantrum. After I got it up to speed, it started to do something strange. I would say it is lunging, but it is more like a...

Any hot tub experts amongst us? I am replacing a motor and pump, and I cannot cross reference the parts. I know I need the following: 220 v 3 hp 2 speed 48" frame 1.5" top inlet/center outlet Should I be able to order from just that information, or do I need something else to...

My son has a welding helmet in which the lens does not darken 100% of the time. Should he be worried when welding? Just kidding. I am going to start researching a replacement lens, but I was just wondering if someone might have some advice? Are they maker specific, or are there aftermarkets...

Anyone know where I can get a routing diagram for the vacuum lines on a stock 2bbl carburetor on 67 Dodge Dart 273. I am getting started on the problem with Google, but this seems like a better place to adrresss the problem. Thx in advance!!!

I have had this tool laying around my shop for years, and I have no idea what it was used for. It had to come with a kit of some kind, because I think I would remember looking for and buying one. Anybody?

I have never had anything but original wheels on my cars--old or new; therefore, I have never had to buy aftermarket wheels. I am stepping up and getting ready to buy some Cragars for my 67 convertible Dart. It needs new ties all around, so I am going to get the wheels I want to go with them. I...

Hey folks, I believe the lunging/stalling problem that is normally blamed on the transmission control module Is well known. My son is taking his car to the dealer to verify that this is the problem. Assuming it is, does anyone know how easy replacing a TCM is for an average mechanic. I...

Both of my wife's keys for her 08 Charger are falling apart. Anyone have any suggestions before I take on this blind endeavor? Wally World only takes care of cars up to 04. I hate going to a dealer, but I am not too enthusiastic about buying something online and then having to get it programmed...

Any suggestions on a source for rims? I am not looking for anything custom or outrageous--just some stock size choices to fit my 67 dart.

I have been on this problem for over a year. Actually, it has really just taken a backseat to building my garage, but I started this nightmare over a year ago. 67 dart convertible, 273 automatic, manual drums all around. Nearly 100% stock. I have had the car over 7 years. The brakes were...

Weird problem that I have not even Googled yet. 07 Charger with 50,000 miles. 5.7 sho engine. After running normal for a few minutes, the engine backs down to 45 mph regardless of how much accelerator is pressed. Transmission stays at about 3000 rpm. It did this last night to my son, and I...

Nobody showed up to take the noon pic at the Mopar show in Mobile today?

There are a couple of hotties that might make this worthwhile. I cannot post the eBay site, but search for 1957 Dodge Other Pickups D100 Sweptside sweptside, d100, 315, Dodge, power wagon, D 500, Hemi,custom Just wondering if this is a custom build? The truck--not the girls.

I just finished printing my first working 3D part from plastic. My students have printed cooler stuff than this, but none of them were actually useful. This is a part for another FABO member. He sent me the broke part, and I had to recreate it. I am posting a few pics of the CAD drawings, and...

I know the best thing to do is fix leaks, but invariably I am going to have some kind of fluid hit my brand new concrete in my garage. Does anyone have something that is more permanent than the cardboard that I am using.

2008 Chrysler 300. My son's spare electronic key will not work even with a new battery. I even tightened possible loose connections with solder. Anyway, it has been just as easy to use the little manual key that is inside the big key.....until now. The manual key will no longer turn in the...

After researching the left thread studs and lug nuts issue, I can only imagine this is a sore subject for many of you. I wonder how many of us made the switch to RH thread and how many made the switch reluctantly. You can count me in as one of those that cannot convert, and I am not even one of...

I am replacing the master cylinder on my 67 dart. I checked out some related posts just to get a heads up on any potential problems. A few of the posts centered on how hard it was to remove the push rod. Mine slid out easily, but that may have been because of a bad reason: the bushing was almost...

I did a couple of things that may have lead to my troubles, so I am hoping someone will be able to point to something that I can check. I did these things in this oder. 1. Dropped the fuel tank, cleaned it out, painted, replaced. 2. Newly rebuilt carbuerator. 3. Dropped 904 transmission...
