I underestimated the brilliance of Chrysler engineers. I assumed that the pivots were meant to install all the way into the z-bar tube. Not the case. The fender end bushing is meant to recess only 1/4" into the tube retained by the clip as mentioned earlier. Likewise on the bellhousing side. The...

Recently installed a pair of Procar Sportsman seats. The assembly instructions were a joke and the brackets were mislabeled, but all in all not a bad install. While the seatbacks look a little tall for the interior, the matching blue inserts help with the look. I'm satisfied with them. :cheers:

That's what I get for assuming. So you're saying I would need the /6 shroud?

The fan is the same 17" as the original. Didn't have any overheating issues, but the radiator was cheaper to upgrade than to repair and the old stamped steel fan scared me. As far as the location of the fan, I assume the centerline would be the same on all cars (Aligned with the crank pulley and...

I assumed as much. Just making sure. I'll just get some studs and nuts for the water pump pulley to make install/removal easier. Recently upgraded my radiator from standard to HD cooling with the shroud mounts on the edge of the radiator frame. Would any shroud for the same radiator fit (like...

Pulled out my old 4 blade OE fixed fan and replacing it with a flex fan. The old fan had an approx. 2" spacer on it with really long bolts and the fan itself was only about 2" away from the radiator. (had to remove radiator to remove bolts). I don't think the spacer is original and he shroud is...

Thank you for the explanation. Explains why I burned half a tank of gas on a 20 mile cruise. Looks like the hunt is on for an air cleaner housing.

I'm unfamiliar with this third port on my mechanical fuel pump. I'm assuming is a vent from the pump to the crankcase filter. My question is, is this hose necessary? The original aircleaner assembly is long gone so I was planning in using an aftermarket crankcase filter, but I'm not sure if I...

The most critical part I need right now is a z-bar (a.k.a torque shaft) for a /6 with manual trans. I assume mine is from a small block car because it's about an inch too short. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=111969

Thanks. I would want a 6 into 1, one-piece header. Can't seem to find one. And it seems that the Aussiespeed intakes recommend a separate heater for their manifolds. I seem to remember someone making an intake that used the engine antifreeze without modification.

Looking for many parts. Small things like a dome light and glove box light, to large things like disc brake control arms and larger rear-end. Would travel to Phoenix or Las Vegas for the right deals.

So where is the place to buy parts for a street /6; like a mild cam, aluminum intake and header?

Out of a 198? If I could find parts that were as easily available and priced comparable to a V8 I'd consider it. Only place I know of for parts is Clifford Performance.

Pulling the motor seems to be the only option to keep it from leaking. But when I do that, it will be to put in a small block :-D I'll just live with it until then being that it's not a daily driver. Thanks for the advice
