Any members on here going to the Westlake Mopars cruise this Sunday, Fresh Chef, Denver, NC. 3 p.m. ?

Hello All, Have not been on here since moving from Houston to Vale NC a few years ago. While in Houston I began repairing classic Mopars as a side job. I am ready to do the same since moving to North Carolina. I've owned, driven, and repaired classic Mopars for 30 plus years. I currently own a...

I remember when the internet was gaining popularity, and everyone was talking about how it would change the world, by enabling people to share ideas. It certainly did change the world...

With Schumacher out of business, is there anyone making slant 6 to 318 conversion spool mounts ?

Looking for an 8.25" rearend for an A body in the Charlotte NC area.

1975 Scamp factory a/c. Is it possible for the HVA. controls in the dash to have a vacuum leak, and cause a lean condition ? If vacuum is applied to the vacuum line that controls the water valve, should it hold the vacuum, if it doesn't, does that mean that there is a leak in the dash controls ?
