    Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

    I'm starting to get an "AI" disturbance in the force feeling.

    What cam to use in a 318

    ...and once again a thread about "almost stock" 318's is now about $5,000 in head work.

    How many times has a parts car become a builder

    I imaging a lot more parts cars have become builders in the past couple years...since prices have tripled. I've personally seen people with very, very savable cars with good quarters and uni-bodies and with titles declare them as parts cars. Often times because they have a similar car with a...

    NHL 23-24

    Bob looked very good, too, but part of that was the FLA D not allowing anything to get started in their zone.

    What cam to use in a 318

    Well, there goes "otherwise stock".

    Music is a pretty big deal.

    I've taken to doing my car audio wiring with computer HDD power 4 pin plugs and sockets. Almost free and makes things real easy.

    NHL 23-24

    Dang it. Fell asleep. Was 0-0 late in P2 IIRC. I did see the last half of Canucks eliminating Preds. Man, both teams looked completely gassed the whole time.

    Music is a pretty big deal.

    These are the ones I have- Circa 2010 5300-6500. Very similar. I have four of them. They all have the exact same interface. Most were about $50. A side bonus is the adjustable lighting gets real close to factory blue/green dash lights and orange gauge needles.

    What cam to use in a 318

    "By the numbers" the comp XE 256 almost looks like the "perfect" cam for a 318 that otherwise stock except for a 4 barrel and dual exhaust.

    Vin trouble

    I was thinking about the pinion. Just keep it in R then.

    Vin trouble

    Actually- the rotation doesn't change. But you may have a vent tube issue, a fill plug issue, and some interesting brake maintenance.

    70 Maverick came home

    One of those silver and black with red stripe pinto wagons is on my list of cars I'd have if they came my way. I'd be tempted to bolt on turbo the 2.3. Of course that's the "grail" of pintos. I believe there is more than one version, though.

    Vin trouble

    Aspen'Volare have pretty generous wheel wells. Might be OK just hanging out a bit. Especially if those arch flares are used. People paid extra to do both those things to cars in the 70's.

    “Not Mine” For Sale ‘65 Barracuda running car.

    I kneel at the front of the door opening and put as much of my arm up inside the vent box door opening as I can get.

    Electric guitar...

    That's an option. Used to be on by default for the thread creator.

    Did you check the cowl? ... oh wait, Arkansas is a bit too far for me. Dang.

    Electric guitar...

    Just my opinion but I'd rather not see this thread turn into "who's your favorite guitar player". I believe we already have that thread. This thread is more entertaining and educational as is IMO.

    REFURBISHING BUCKET SEAT TRACKS

    Be careful with the roller trolleys. Make note or take pics of how they come out. On a B body track, they are oriented in a specific way. I believe A body tracks are the same. The roller is not centered. If you put the trolleys in backwards, you will lose about 1.5 inches of forward/backward...

    Music is a pretty big deal.

    I use a USB media library, but because I have so much material it is a royal pain to sift through it. I'm not a fan of "random" or "shuffle" play. I want to hear what I want to hear. To me, modern audio playback device selection has always been about the interface. For a retrofit, I've...

    70 Maverick came home

    Other than exploding...the pinto was not a terrible car. MUCH better than the competition's vega. More interior room, smaller exterior size, and mechanically more sound in general (including rack and pinion steering) especially the 2.3 vs the gm "iron duke" (again, other than that exploding...

    Vin trouble

    I bet that "0" is in fact a "G". N- Volare L- Low price class 29- "fast top" body style G- 318 engine 8- 1978 2- plant (Hamtramck? or Lynch Road)

    Vin trouble

    A 68 Roarrunner VIN will start with- RM21 or after mid year- RM32

    Vin trouble

    A Volare Roadrunner will "VIN" as a Volare, because after 1975, "Roadrunner" was an option package and not a separate car line, which was previous ly "RM" as the first VIN digits.

    Vin trouble

    OK, that fits. It's a 1978 car, at at least a 1978 VIN. What are the first 7?

    Random pictures thread

    Is that a school behind the antenna? Is that sticker something a non-phone company "concerned citizen" applied? The wording kind of has that feel to it.

    Vin trouble

    Also, most on-line classic Mopar VIN decoders don't work real well past 1974. Could your car be a 1978? Since the VIN only has a one digit year code, it could be assuming a sixth digit of "8" is 1968 and not 1978.
