    K-H brake swap done, but doesnt stop!

    Did you install an adjustable push rod that has a fat heim joint that attaches to the brake pedal? I had the same problem as you and after a lot of screwing around found the heim joint was binding against the brake pedal and wouldn't allow full travel of the pedal. A little grinding on both the...

    Oil leak detection using smoke and mirrors

    I've found oil leaks by cleaning the engine, blowing it dry and sprinkling baby powder on the suspect area. Run it and look for a black spot. For Vaccuum leaks, turn on your Burnz-O-Matic torch but't don't light it. Then, slowly pass it over potential leak areas with the engine idling. RPM will...

    Buy new steering wheels

    Goodguys Denver was held a few months ago and I picked up a business card for flashpowerparts.com I went to their site recently and it looks like they have some good, fairly priced stuff including adaptors for Chrysler cars. Anyone have experience with them?

    Temperature gauge does not work on my 1970 340 Duster ?

    Maybe you could get her warm and with the engine running, flip the ignition switch off and back on before the engine stalls and see if it works then. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the switch but it does seem worth a try.

    cooling not so cool

    I once had a car (not Mopar) that would heat up and puke out after 25-30 miles. Turned out it was possible to flop the cam spocket (had a timing belt). Never could get the timing marks to line up perfectly but got them as close as they could be. (Note: Car was a 2000cc Pinto and the cam sprocket...

    Magnum Fuel Inj Without the Beer Barrel

    Any reason why I can't use the Edelbrolck FI intake manifold (PN 28155) on my Magnum with EQ heads drilled for LA intake? Perhaps (Magnum) accessory mounting problems? Anyone done this?

    Tips on installing rubber front spring eye bushings

    Consider going to a suspension shop, I left my springs for bushings but they installed the wrong size so I went back and they said "sorry, we'll fix it". The guy took my springs into his shop and came back about 2 minutes later with the right bushings installed. I didn't see how he did it but I...

    Magnum wiring help

    I suggest you check the transmission forum and read sticky started by gdonovan. Bottom line... transmission swap ain't easy but the 46RH you want to use is really big. You'd be better off with a 42RH.

    Mushy brakes 4 life...

    I can't help with the rear drum situation but once had a problem with crappy brake performance and overheating and found the culprit to be the adjustable aftermarket push rod where the heim joint end rubbed on the brake pedal.
