    Mopower for da Mopar

    The wife and I recently puchased a 1964 Dart GT to restore. As fate would have it I also scored on a rebuilt running 440 six pack (with trans $500, lucky me). So, been researching the internet to see if it is possible to put it in the dart. Looks like modified K frame, 9" rear end, bigger...

    Here we go again...

    Eureka!! I've found it (I think). Dirty connectors and two loose wires on the firewall wiring harness. I carefully removed the pins (you can squeeze them with a pair of bent needle nose and pull them out from the outer side) and wire brushed them, they were pretty bad, two on the lower harness...

    Here we go again...

    Back in sept. I had an issue with the mysterious " engine no spark for no apparent reason". Then as if by magic it would go away. Thanks to some good advice from 67Dart273 and trailbeast I seemed to have remedied the problem, but now it's back with a vengence. This is what happens. I let the...

    Speedo problems

    I've changed my speedo gear down to a 16 tooth and am still off about 10-12 mph @ 65. Does anybody know of a way to calibrate the actual speedometer? There is a brass nut, behind it a small lever that holds the gage needle spring, I'm thinking there is to much tension on the spring and should...

    The madness of Mopar

    Here we go again. Third time for this issue. If I let my cuda set for more than 3 weeks, it won't start. No spark. Then over a period of time it will magically fix it self and zoom. As long as you start it every week, it will, but if you let it sit for 3 or more weeks, no spark. And then over a...
