Red high temp silicone. The question is whether the fitting nut has to sit flush with the case. If it does my luck is running true to form cause mine will not go all the way in.

Bought a Lokar firewall mount dipstick for the Dart and it appears to be a nice piece. However, according to the instructions you are supposed to put some "automotive silicone" around the base of the tube fitting nut before installing, which I did. The question I have is should this part be snug...

Update on Dog Days of Summer Event! Successful event! 37 dogs found a home yesterday and won't be heading back to the pound!

Need some opinions about my Red Holley Electric pump. Ironically enough, on my way to the gas station I ran out of gas (non working gas gauge). The wife brought me a couple of gallons and off to the station. The problem is that now the pump is howling so loud you can hear it above the car...

Thanks Mark, should have just called you first. I will be in touch. Just in case anybody else needs anything this is a real stand up guy. Several purchases and no problems and excellent service. And no,...I don't work for him! LOL!

Need one for a non rally dash. Working of course.

In case any of you were wondering if ol' MacGyver is still alive and well, I can assure you he is alive and well and living in CA! And...unfortunately I bought my car from him! LOL! Some people should not be allowed to own tools. For example, went to change the engine oil for the first time...

Certainly brings back memories from Atco, early 70's. Thanks.

Anybody try using Dex 6 in their 727's? I gonna be doing a trans service and I am considering trying it. According to Union 76 application charts it is specified for 70 and up Chrysler Products. It is a synthetic fluid and I am running a stall converter. It should deal with the heat issues...

Ok, The percy's gaskets are great! I still have a leak however. The center ports are where the leak is. I filed them as flat as I could but unfortunately the flange (at head) is tweaked pretty good. Is there a possible fix that I could do to help the situation, or is it new header time? I did...

Check out this link. Cool thing we do at the dealership, very similar to what you all are doing in Phoenix. Really works well and the happy faces are way cool, not to mention the homes provided for the dogs! http://www.royaltucson.com/dog-days.htm

Need some help with some Cal Custom valve covers on my 440. They use a twist and lock type breather and unfortunately one of them abandoned ship during a test run last Sunday. The one's on the motor now are really cheesy and I would like to get some nice ones. This is the challenge. Anybody have...

If anybody cares, I bought a Chrysler 180 degree for my 440 a few weeks ago from the dealer. About $12.00. FYI

I took a 30 year break from Mopars. Been doin the Harley thing all this time. Sold a really nice project Charger back in 1980 to finish my first Harley and I have to admit, the bikes are fun. But then it happened! I had to have a hot rod again. A Mopar hot rod. Bought the Dart a couple months...

I'm in Vail. SE of Tucson. I bought a set of Percy's Aluminum gaskets. Will report on the outcome and let everybody know the outcome. I don't have bad warp age on the flanges so these should do it. Thanks for the replies.
