    Best electric cutouts?

    I asked this question years ago and never pulled the trigger. DMH was supposed to be good at the time, but they are apparently out of business or just not answering calls or emails. The new motor is going in on Sunday and I'm thinking I'm going to pull the trigger on the cutouts. I probably...

    Anyone make reusable valve cover gaskets?

    I change my VC gaskets fairly often and have now gone to a solid lifter cam and will spend more time adjusting lash this year. Are there any reusable VC gaskets out there? I can't seem to find any. a lot of cars nowadays have them on the transmission pan. It would save me quite a bit in the long...

    [SOLD] 1970 Plymouth Duster

    I got this from my friend. He bought it in high school and it was his daily driver for 15 years. The old slant six started to foul out one plug every month or so and then the brake lines went. It was parked in his yard for ten years, then in a pile barn for nine more. Then I got it. I had to...

    I saw this on a group I'm part of on Facebook. Thought it might look good on the 70 Duster. Offy 4 bbl intake with adapter plate and GM 3800 supercharger. Looks pretty sweet, and he wants $650 for it. If anyone is interested, I can get the info on it for you.

    Informal poll

    I was on another forum earlier. I was disagreeing with another person and thought I'd just throw this question out there and see if I'm correct. I had a no start condition on an old, long sitting Mopar. The question is this. A friend says his early 70's Mopar turns over but won't fire. You have...

    Need upper control arms - where to find them?

    I have used the search function, but it wasn't much help. I need UCAs for my 73 Dart Sport. Money is an issue unfortunately. Who has them available at a decent price? I'd love some adjustable arms, but I can always use adjustable bushings. I prefer new because I had threading problems last time...

    [WANTED] 73 Dart Sport engine wiring harness

    I have a Frankenstein's monster of a wiring harness that has been cut and tapped into many times. Last year I had a meltdown issue and 9 wires melted together. I could figure out where five of them went, and that got me running, charging and able to shut the car off with the key. I'd like to...

    DMH, QTP or RRP electric cutouts?

    Anyone had any experience? I know they all will rattle and leak a bit with time. That's the cost of running cutouts. I'm looking for real life experience, good or bad. What brand is the best?

    Caravan 3.8l. How did this piston crack?

    Any ideas? It came in ses light flashing and running poorly. Misfire on this cylinder. The spark plug wouldn't come out. We warned the customer and proceeded to try and remove it. It broke off in the head. We pulled the head and saw the piston was cracked. And the broken piece is definitely...

    Opening new detail shop

    Well, I hated my job and needed to do something about it. I decided to open a detail shop. I've been remodeling the place for a month and can proudly say that this coming Monday, Attention to Detail will open for business. It is a four bay shop and I will start with 3 employees. I have a lot of...

    Losing switched power and other #$%&^# electrical issues. HELP!

    I need some help. My 73 Dart Sport, 408 stroker / 200 4R, has been running great for 6 years. A month or so I came home from a car show and it would not shut off. Key turned off, key in hand, but it stayed running. I didn't notice it before, but I drove it a week later and noticed it wasn't...

    Car won't shut off

    I have a 73 Dart Sport 408 with MSD 6AL-2 programmable ignition. As in every year I drive this car to Mopars in the Park, something breaks. This year I got home, turned off the key, and the engine kept running. I had to pull the ignition fuse to shut off the car. I couldn't look into it right...

    Need help gaining access to ignition switch

    I need a new ignition switch, and while I'm at it, I have an ignition lock cylinder that matches my for keys I am going to put in. I am having trouble getting the middle section off the column. I thought there was a bearing around the shaft that would slide off with a little persuasion, but the...

    Help name my detail shop?

    Rock Falls Raceway last race of the year

    My brother and I hit Rock Falls Raceway in Wisconsin last Sunday. I turned a 12.05 in my Dart. My brother had trouble with his Warlock. He couldn't hook and he missed a shift twice. He thought he could take me with his nitrous, and he was holding his own until he missed a shift. He wasn't very...

    Taller or shorter tires for the track?

    I am hitting the track this Sunday. I usually switch to P255/60R15 Mickey Thompson ET street radials. They are 27.01" tall. They hook very well. I typically drove on BFG Radial TA on the street, but this year I went to Nitto NT555R extreme drag radials for every day tires and they hook well on...

    Any way to get more caster adjustment without newer adjustable CA?

    I had my 73 Dart Sport on the hoist for a few weeks while the transmission was being rebuilt so I took advantage of the hoist time and put in all new Moog front end parts. I mean everything. Upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings, idler arm, pitman arm, inner and out...

    Finally pulled the 200-4R

    As a lot of you know, I put a 408 stroker and a 200-4R overdrive in my Dart about 4 years ago. Late last year and all this year I've had intermittent leaking problems. It appeared to be pushing out the vent, usually on hot days. I called the builder, Art Carr (who, by the way, is an f-ing idiot)...

    Had SRT8 at the track - hoped for better

    My Dart is down so I took my 2006 300C SRT8 to the track on Sunday. It's stock except for a cold air intake and a Predator performance tune. On the street I can spin the tires if I power brake it. My first run I spun in first, so I hit 2nd and spun again. Then I accidentally slapped it forward...

    Hitting the track, but which car to take?

    My brother and I are hitting Rock Falls Raceway this Sunday. I want to take my Dart so I can have printed evidence that his Warlock can't take my Dart. I street raced him three times and beat him each time, but he insists he won the third race. I want it on paper with a shitload of witnesses...

    My newest Mopar ... A 300C SRT8

    I've been looking for a newer car and had decided on a 300C. That is until I found this SRT8. Black on black and sexy as Hell. HID headlights, navigation, Bose sound system with Kicker sub, 6.1 Hemi, moon roof, Brembo brakes, etc.... The PO installed a catch can and a Leghammer cold air intake...

    [FOR SALE] Chrome PCV breather

    I made a push in breather with a pcv for my Ramcharger, but ended up making a smaller one out of a chrome oil cap. This is a chrome breather I drilled a hole into, then added a rubber grommet and pcv valve. I pulled out the inner material. It comes with a 1 1/4" grommet for the valve cover...

    Looky what I found! Vintage Dodge keychain,

    I found an old vintage Dodge keychain for my Dart. It is a little faded, a little rusty and stiff as a board. I've worked in leather conditioner all day and it's now soft and flexible. I'm going to dye it black but leave the rust. It'll probably wear off, but a little patina will look good.

    Made a PCV holder for my new valve covers. Pretty sweet if I say so myself!

    I put new cheapo chrome valve covers on my Ramcharger and the holes aren't the usual twist in, they require push in or grommet style breathers. I wanted a PCV but couldn't find anything locally that I liked, so I bought a chrome breather and drilled it for a PCV, but I was worried that it would...

    Did 318 intake, fires but won't start

    Weird. I did the intake because it was leaking oil, and badly. The guys at work made a workorder with an environmental clean up charge on it. Pretty simple on a 318. It's in my 83 Ramcharger. I drove it into the shop, replaced the intake gaskets and valve covers, cleaned it all off and changed...

    Leaking issues in my 200 4R - any gurus available?

    Last year I changed the filter and pan gasket in the 200 4R because it had been two and a half years and the pan gasket had a minor leak. I removed the top hat filter seal and installed a new one, then installed the filter. I had some leakage and had to retorque the damn nuts a few times, then...

    Know any Summit discount codes?

    Running Nitto NT555R extreme drag radials - love 'em!

    When I put in the Dana 60 the first year I put on Pacer wheels and have been running BFG Radial TA in P295/50R15 in the rear because they had the size I wanted and they looked good. I smoke the tires a lot and they hold up the whole season, and usually two seasons. They don't hook up though, and...

    To run cutouts or not run cutouts, that is the question.

    I am seriously considering running cutouts this year. I am thinking of the possible better power, and also the really cool sound I will get. I've researched a lot of brands and found most of them have bad reviews. I don't want to be replacing them all the time. I run a 408 stroker, around 500hp...
