So, my take is that my GTS is a nice matching numbers car that has been restored, I really like it like that. But, I have taken liberties, it has a 372” stroker kit in the matching numbers motor, commando gear set going in the matching numbers transmission. Yes, we drive it, 800 miles to...

So, a 2025 update. The weather on this years Carlisle trip was a mix of stupidly hot and humid with some rain mixed in. Saturday afternoon a rain worked its way in and by 4:00 pm we were under a down pour. Out of town and a 30 minute ride to our place it poured hard with standing puddles on the...

Dexron 3 would be similar to the factory fill. They have friction modifiers in the fluid to “soften” the shifts. They type “F” ford fluid does not and hence makes a good choice for us that prefer a firm shift without buying the crazy expensive aftermarket “race” fluids back in the day. So, if...

First would be A chrome gas cap to replace my missing painted cap( left it at a gas station) @davescuda hooked me up, great guy, thanks again. My second would be the great road trip down and back in the GTS. Just over 800 miles, 75/80 mph, 16mpg. Car ran flawlessly. And we took 2nd place in...

Thanks Dave. Cliff Ramsdell

Hi all, We left the gas cap behind today when filling the Dart on our way to Carlisle. Need a 68 Dart cap. Color not important. We are going to pick up the one from the car on our way home. PM or post if you’re here or coming and can help us out. The car is LL1 turquoise if you want to know...

Well I can state for a fact that just a gasket will NOT seal it from leaks. My car had the glass installed after restoration, no bedding. On the road home from Carlisle 2023 we hit rail the last 100 plus miles and the water was pouring in from the lower corners, front was worse than the rear...

Hi all, Not mine, spotted this on eBay and was surprised it was complete except the shift knob. Mr Gasket V Gate Mopar A-body | eBay Cliff Ramsdell

Sharp car, Black with the white stripe. Would look killer outside with the white snow as a back drop. Cliff Ramsdell

This gives me a bit of context, how many A-855’s were built over the production period and how many were sold I wonder. They built them for awhile and were always on back order. As for your ordeal, I understand completely where your coming from in regards to how your transmission was handled...

You know, we have people who have bought these and had problems, such as the OP, we have people who have bought these and never installed them, I have a friend here in Connecticut with a new in the crate one too, but the one thing I have never seen posted is from those that had a good...

So, maybe a copy of the GM style of under hood cowl induction pulling it right out of the cowl plenum. No hood mods needed. Cliff Ramsdell

Mufflers on our 68 GTS. Restoration exhaust system. Replaced the mufflers, had an ignition failure, used a turbo muffler. Fit was great, no issues or drone. Cliff Ramsdell

No you can't. There should be a small metal tag under one of the cover bolts that will have the ratio. Cliff Ramsdell
