    I took a look at my console and it's empty too. Looks like it's a 57 bulb according to this chart: https://promo2.classicindustries.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1960-76_A_Body_Bulb_Guide1-1.png. Summit has this socket PICO Wiring 5443PT Pico Light Bulb Sockets | Summit Racing. It fits a 5/8"...

    Sources for Chrysler type wire terminals

    I put this simple 'Packard 58' terminal kit together for my Dart build. I'll use them for the firewall forward harnesses and the bulkhead connector. After lots of searching I ordered them from Elecdirect.com because I could verify they were Delphi terminals and housings, and they sell...

    Torque Strap install

    Here is a pic of the Schumacher torque strap kit on my '68 Dart 383, but a '74 K-member. I welded and bolted it. The bolts also attached the Firm Feel sway bar bracket which give it additional strength.

    Transmission/Crank alignment help

    My flexplate instructions say to check the alignment between crank and trans shaft. I have a professionally rebuilt '68 383 and a ProTrans 727 TF. Any suggestions or cool tool recommendations to measure this in the tight space? Thanks.

    Newer 2 bolt aluminum master cylinder for BB A-body

    Please tell me why the offset is desired. I used the Dr Diff alu master cylinder in my 1968 Dart 383 with 440Source valve covers & TTI 2" headers.

    383 Accusump port

    Can anyone recommend an oil port on my '68 383 block to install the hose from my Accusump? They recommend 1/2" or 3/8" NPT. I was planning to use one of the oil sensor ports on the top back but I'm not sure it meets their spec. I'd prefer not to use the oil filter adapter and the engine is...
