Yeah, I figured it was over stressed, I checked the tell tale tach and it was at 6200, whoops. I replaced it with an MPA unit one of my warehouses hooked me up with, the lights flickered so bad it made me sick on the “hoping it will wear in and straighten out” test drive. I did confirm the...

Am I happy about the LS/Nissan trans swap into a Mopar? Not really, though I am interested in seeing the results. Is it his car? Damn right. Who gives a damn what he does. Is he keeping another Dart out of the scrap pile? Yep, and isn’t that really the ultimate point?

In all the years I’ve been doing this it’s the first time I’ve seen this happen. When I saw that I just took a quick picture and headed to bed. I’ll do more diagnostic work tonight, I’m very curious as to how this happened.

Let me set the scene. My dart has been down on power, it’s been fast but I felt it was lacking. Frustrated I grabbed the distributor and “added a bit of ignition lead” to see what happened. That fixed it, oh what a difference. Ran it through the gears, when I shifted to second high in the...

Lots of discussion here. The reason you pull and plug the ported vacuum line is when you’re setting your timing you set the base, then you’ll want to rev it to check your mechanical advance operation. If the vacuum advance is hooked up it’ll advance when you open the throttle covering up the...

I 100% love my Dart. I bought it as the baseline I would be happy with and have sunk countless hours and dollars into making her mine. But.... I lost my dream car in a divorce. A 1969 Charger, R/T 375hp 440 car. I’d trade straight up for my old Charger right now. Unfortunately, a Charger of...

Still have the 67-70 Dart piece?

I’ve seen the slipping impeller twice, both aftermarket pumps from China, but still possible. They would idle fine but heat up as you revved the engine, the first one caused me fits until I turned it by hand and felt it hitting the housing. Took the pump off and found the impeller loose. Years...

That got really hot in just a couple of minutes, plus that plug looks not just hot, but lean too. I don’t think the mixture made it overheat, but it didn’t help. The discolored area you mentioned is most likely caused by heat from the central exhaust valves, already a hot spot, with runaway...

A family piece, a Dufa wall clock from the 20’s. They were in business from 1919 until WWII when the Nazis forced the plant to move from clocks to making clockworks for weapons guidance, so exact details are scarce. I restored it and it will lose a couple of minutes every few months. I need to...

Look up theartofshaving.com they may not have WS blades but they’ll get you in business.

When you’re ready to get serious, learn to wet shave with a straight razor. I promise you the cleanest, closest shave you’ll ever have. Some old school barbers still offer it, I wholeheartedly recommend going to one to see what I’m talking about.

Here’s mine with the cop wheels, but body color for a stock appearance. They are the 15x8 variety with 235/60 fronts and 275/60 rears. They, quite literally, barely fit, especially the rears but they are there. I do need to trim the rears some as they touch under heavy bumps.

One of the beautiful things about LR, you can sync settings across batches of photos. In your example, you fix the WB on the first one, then sync it to all of them taking less than half a minute. Not that I’ve ever had to do that. :rofl:

My side hustle for several years was sports photography, and I use Lightroom exclusively. It’s got a learning curve for sure, but once you get a work flow sorted out it rules. It all depends on the results you’re looking for. As for Danica with biguns, she’s still a *****. I’ve had media...
