Interesting theory, Mac. I'll have to take a look and test it. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. I even removed the electronic ignition conversion from the distributor to see if it was burned out (apparently, leaving the key in the on position for extended periods of time is...

Thanks for the help. Yes, the coil is the stock coil. I have heard of using a coil that is made to use with the electronic ignition kit that I have, but the current one has worked just fine for the past 10 years or so. I wonder if I should look into the coil as the possible culprit? How...

Thanks for the input. As stated earlier, I installed a new cap and rotor, still the problem persists. As far as my methodology for testing spark from the coil? I just unplugged the coil wire from the cap while it was still plugged into the coil. I could see and hear spark coming from that...

I've had my car sitting since January, everything worked fine back then. Now, I can't get my car started. It almost wants to fire the first couple of cranks, but never actually does. After more cranking, there is no indication that it wants to even start. I'm getting good fuel, spark from...

That is not a mopar anymore, just some random pile of crap for sale on CL.

I had the 40 series on my 318 Duster. Paired with headers, they were pretty loud at the tips. I decided to chop off the tail pipes (just behind the muffler outlet) one day to see what kind of racket I could make. Now, that was some serious noise right there, especially inside. They sounded...

Thanks for the pics, Lou. Nice setup you have there.

Never plan to go that far. When I eventually rebuild the 273, I might hop it up a bit to commando specs, but that's about it. I like the idea of having a smaller displacement and original block in the car. Would 2.5" be overkill for now on the stock motor?

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm running the stock manifolds btw. I got an estimate a while back: $650 [FM 40 series, without an X-Pipe (seemed a bit high)]. Thinking I might shop around a bit more...I know a lot of people are anti-flowmaster. I've always loved the sound, but not so sure...

Just wondering what size exhaust piping I should be running behind a stock 273 2bbl. Been wanting to do a dual exhaust system for a while from the manifolds back. Thoughts on H or X pipe? Is it even necessary with a stock motor like mine? Undecided on mufflers too, any suggestions would be...

Yeah, he thought he'd replace the pump to see if that makes a difference first. I know, grasping at straws can be annoying sometimes when trying to troubleshoot. When I first saw the car, I noticed the pump right away and figured it was probably not the right one. Which, in turn, could have...

My bro just purchased a '71 Dart. He's having issues with his power steering (jerky movement and wandering steering wheel while driving). He decided to replace the old power steering pump with a new one. However, the pulley from his old pump is pressed on, while the new pump from napa is...

'67 grille, fenders, quarters, taillights, rear bumper. The hood is what is throwing everyone off I think.
