    No spark 1973 360

    Worst comes to worst- call Dana at FBO. Her or her distributor builder will help you out. I just did the distributor and box / coil package on the Barracuda and really made a difference over HEI.

    Long Tube Header Bolts

    3/8 head hex header bolts and 1-1/4” length. (I believe) I’m running Doug’s headers on both my small blocks. Remflex gaskets.

    Maaco vs Mexico: The Hunt for Affordable Paint & Body

    I had Maaco paint a truck for my company a few years back. They told me up front all my options: single stage or BC-CC. 1,3or 5 year life span. Primers and a few other things. All price points. It was a work truck and they would not sell me a plan longer than 5 years which was a single stage...

    Is my ring gap too large?

    Send it. Bonus- adding nitrous down the road is now a possibility!

    Any tips to get my steering wheel all the way on?

    With out a photo(s) this post is useless. What car, what year, what was done?

    UTG vs DDG

    I saw it yesterday. Waste of time and how many Carvel cakes? Both of them are annoying.

    Should my 1974 Duster have a hood - to - radiator support gasket?

    Just buy it and put it on. Correct? Who cares if you want it. It’s your car.

    Lifter failure

    Sorry for your troubles. Part is the quality of parts is in the toilet right now. Very sad. A lot of work for sure.

    Intake (heat shield) and metal gaskets?

    A small chisel as stated and twist out with vice grips. Counter clock wise if I remember correctly.

    Caliper dust boot install

    Dust boot for the mounting bolt or the caliper piston. Very different. Mounting bolt- easy peasy. Caliper piston- piston needs to come out. Install the new seal and bellows- apply a little air and pop in the piston that is wet with brake fluid. The air helps blow the seal around the piston so...

    Dialing in my 73 project Duster

    8-1/4 is fine. Sure grip so both tires are splitting the action and you will go a long time. Reverse drive drops- no rear end holds up. Just be smart. Syleng1

    Napa Gold now made in china

    Oh! Great because RRR! Loves Chy-na now the thread will go to all the “great stories” about CHY-na. Okay stop laughing.

    The Verdit Is In!!!!!!!!

    Great!…price increases. Not because of Chy-na. Because “somebody” needs to restore ANOTHER car. Lol! Good luck Syleng1

    Napa Gold now made in china

    Chy-na also has a town (or providence or city block) called USA and America. Just so they can label stuff and make it seem local. Toolman Mike- why can’t we “go there?”

    Napa Gold now made in china

    Well, they are not in business to give stuff away. Sometimes they do what they have to do to keep the lights on. My local Napa owns 5 or 6 stores now. Either go big or go home. He is at the point now where he can make a call and they listen. But a single mom and pop store cannot do that.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    Also, if you loosen your k frame bolts you can “Shift”it one way or the other. But Rusty is right. There is a tool for pushing on brake pedal up to steering wheel or front seat. Hood prop rod works too. Like Leslie makes. I’m not a fan of a “do it yourself alignment.” Maybe to get it close...

    Napa Gold now made in china

    Napa in china is old news. Not sure if any filters are still made here in America or Canada.

    clutch fan won't fit

    You can buy the clutch portion with shorter length. V6 V8 Dakota for one. I believe the 1996 or older version. The depth is very short.

    Speedo gears

    Speedo gears should be the same. Something changed like tire size or calibration of Speedo cluster.

    69 Dart Drag Car Makes Maiden Voyage

    That’s awesome. Especially when you hear it clear as day and the car is over a block away. Nice job!

    Cost for labor on stroker build?

    Yes! And this too. There are machine shops that will do Mopar’s and Mopar machine shops that will work on other stuff. The difference is night and day.

    Wiper Blade refills?

    I just did it a few weeks ago. Anco wipers (yellow and blue packages) still sold today work and the blades are cheaper…. Sorry but when did wiper blades start selling for $25 each? Frecken auto part stores are charging more than the dealers. Sorry - a little rant. Anyhow, they are out there. I...

    Cost for labor on stroker build?

    Also to add: buying parts from the machine shop may cost a bit more but honestly it helps them stay in business. With that said - a good machine shop bores the holes and “sizes” them to the pistons individually per cylinder. You cannot do that at home… easily. Everyone is an assembly hero after...

    Wiper Blade refills?

    I just buy an okay set of wipers and remove the rubbers and metal sides. Cut the rubbers to fit and install.

    Fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    I also have used spectra with 0 issues. Question to OP: Have you ohm checked the unit to ground (when installed) to make sure you don’t have a grounding issue? Resistance will cause the reading to go weird. A buddy of mine had the same issue. He painted his tank straps and has put a rubber pad...
