    Need help re. Jeep catalytic converter...

    I'm in Kalifornia and replaced a CAT with an aftermarket one. Never had a problem during any smog test after that. Truthfully the aftermarket one passed the test better than the original one.

    Can't buy new master cylinder

    Freed has gotten parts for my '72 Duster that I couldn't find any place else. They've really gone out of their way to help me. They got me a master cylinder for my '72 Duster 340 a while back. I'm very sure that they will ship parts. INFORMATION: Freed Auto Parts Sales 19743 Sherman Way...

    Dad "oldmanmopar was taken to hospital last night

    A little over eight years ago they found a "spot" on one of my kidneys and I had surgery to remove part of that kidney (it took 3 months to feel better). Then almost to the day, a year later they found cancer in my other kidney. At that time they tried a new technique thats called RFA. I had...

    Top speeds

    A while ago I was running 3.23 gears and during dyno tests it went 21.5 mph per 1000 rpm. I've gone about 4 exits on the local freeway at 2am at 8200 rpm. That engine would go to 8450 rpm without any problems. It bent pushrods at about 8800rpm. Approximately 175 mph

    Check out this dealership and the Demon for sale

    The VIN proves it's a Clone. If they were legitimate they would advertise it as a clone. Buyer beware!

    Will a 350 Chevy fit into a 1972 dodge dart

    It's only my opinion, but $800 won't begin to pay for the modifications needed to put the Chevy in your car. I'm sure you could buy a small block MOPAR at a local junk yard and install it cheaper. Just to give you a heads up. For the SBC you'll need to customize a way to hang the...

    Will a 350 Chevy fit into a 1972 dodge dart

    Truthfully it will probably cost more to modify the SBC to work/fit in a MOPAR and unfortunately all the money you spend will be wasted. No MOPAR guy would touch it and no Chevy guy would buy it either. This swap will be a headache and a total waste of money. Taking out an engine and...

    Any A-body restoration guides out there?

    Any A-body restoration guides out there?

    None that I know about. I did a complete down to bare metal, no wiring restoration. I'd recommend that you start by video taping everything and then photograph everything also. Use plastic bags for all your parts and LABEL everyone of them. I'm the original owner of my '72 Duster 340...

    How much $$$$ have you spent?

    Close to $30k. Engine and trans, interior and paint were done by friends that gave me a good price. I disassembled the car to a bare shell and sent it to the body shop. Then had the engine built by BLE in Northridge Clifornia and the tranny to the shop that does all his race trans. When I...

    interesting motor facts.

    My motor meters 69gph on BLE's dyno while turning 6400 RPM. So my 16 gallon tank only supplies a little under 16 minutes of fuel. If someone stole my car, with a full tank of gas and got on the freeway to get away from the police, he won't have too many minutes of fuel before he gets his ***...

    Super Car Sunday

    My wife said it rained fairly hard at our place just after I left. But, only a few little drops at the SCS site. Lucky for me because the street radials don't work well in the rain. There was a BIG turnout today.
