    Carb Advice

    Hoping you know that most any carb can leak at the shafts if pour fuel in it. That fuel lands on closed throttle plates making fuel seep out the shaft. Shafts are not air tight, and it doesn’t leak when running because there is a vacuum there normally.

    UPDATE on the trashed shackles

    Yes, clearance. I moved the spring brackets inboard 1/2 inch front and back as well as the spring perches on the diff so I could put 10 inch tires an rims on. Without doing that the tires just barely touched the leafs. That 1/2 is all I could go anyway because of inner fender clearance. Darts...

    UPDATE on the trashed shackles

    From my other post, this is where my rattle was coming from. Betcha I don’t break these. 1/4 x 1-1/2 plate and 1/2 shank bolts with nyloc nuts. The bolts have the heads cut off and welded into the holes in the plate. I used 1-1/2 plate because the poly bushings have a 1-1/2 outer section...

    mini starter??

    I have seen some knock the nose of the starter off, but never seen the body get moved. On my trans there is a large stud that accommodates that larger hole in the starter body. I wonder if some used a regular bolt in that and that lets the starter move.?

    mini starter??

    The one large hole and one smaller is the normal small block/Torque Flight starter. I’m running one on my 5.9/42rh even. Curious why it won’t fit yours.

    Spacing alternator bracket with washers

    If no one quotes, then you have no indication that there are replies unless you go back to the post and check. Don’t know what tools you have, but I used a 4 inch grinder to take the shoulders off of 2 nuts. Then put them on a bolt and stuck that in my drill press and used the grinder and a...

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    Nice. This is what I meant when I said it works if you use it correctly, and that it works on some materials and not others. Thanks.

    UPDATE on the failed Acell ignition module.

    Actually I expect it to go that way. As far as shipping goes, when I ordered a Classic Auto Air climate control system and the compressor was bad, they made me pay to ship that back. Almost $2,400 for the unit itself Then $150 shipping, r134 twice, and about $25 to ship the bad compressor...

    I was checking on a rattle on the right rear.

    I have been wanting to do the curvy mountain road to Jerome AZ again but was putting it off until I checked into the rattle. Guess that was a good decision.:D

    UPDATE on the failed Acell ignition module.

    No indication at all. But they might not honor it since the plastic locating pins are missing. For our use those have to be removed. Maybe they won’t know enough about it to notice.:D

    I was checking on a rattle on the right rear.

    Yep, that would do it.:D Factory hangers and poly bushing. They even had factory lock nuts on them. Some even the pressed in stud gave up. Jees, both sides.

    UPDATE on the failed Acell ignition module.

    In my first post about the Acell 8 pin HEI module I said how I connected it and my car ran like crap, so I had to pull off the side of the hiway and put the original one back on. Car ran great again. I called Holley because that’s who I bought it through. First they transfered me to a Holley...

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    Ah true, but not all metals. Nor does it clean everything. That’s why it’s use has to be so specific.

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    2% is kinda lite, but I’m looking forward to seeing the results you get. 2% for 10 minutes, or 10% for 2 min. :D

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    I use muriatic acid on some things here and there. It wont damage plastic or most rubber when diluted, and it kicks *** for cleaning rust and corrosion. But as you have noticed by now, it is something you have to be very careful with. I sometimes use it for carbs, but diluted and only leave it...

    Wiring Harness for a single Terminal Neutral Safety Switch for a 67 Dart A904

    One of the terminals on your starter relay needs to be grounded for the relay to activate. The switch you show (ouch) is just a ground switch. It makes a ground for the solenoid to activate when the trans is in park or neutral. One wire from the switch terminal to the starter relay does it...

    FAIL right out of the package.

    I got the module I was/am running out of the Pick and Pull and it’s still going 5 years later. I guess I’ll just do that again. A spare is all I was really after in the first place. I have never bought an ignition part from Accel in my life because there is no way I’m going to get stuck on the...

    FAIL right out of the package.

    On May 27 I ordered a new Accel HEI module from Holley. There was no Accel sticker on it like the picture on the website, which isn’t a problem but a ? Supposed to be a high performance module. Yesterday I put it in and this morning I went out to go to the store. Car fired up fine, but it soon...

    A few 2-Step questions

    Do you use a shute? If so maybe use a switch on the shute handle to disable the 2 step?

    When is it whining?

    You mentioned “doing business with them” but you are not. You gave them your money and got nothing but put off. (Multiple times) That’s not doing business, and I would have been out of there long ago.

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    There’s a 68 Roadrunner around here that is rusting away sitting outside in the sun and weather. The woman I talked to said her son is going to restore it when he gets out of prison. It sits by a single wide mobile home that looks like it needs to be torn down. I had to resist the urge to laugh.

    So the short version is that the regulator must see actual battery voltage. :D

    UTG vs DDG

    When a guy drives 2,500 miles one way, loses the race then breaks his car doing it then says it was one of the best days of his life ya gotta respect that. I think it’s cool he can not only do that, but have fun and a great attitude doing it. Anyone who puts that down has jealousy issues.

    Non A-body mopar question

    Shoot, one teenage burnout 50 years ago could put a diff on the die list decades later. As far as 7.25’s go, I did multiple 100 yard burnouts for 5 years behind a 318 and then 1 or 2 years with a bit over stock 5.9 Magnum and the 7.25 never blew up. (Yea I felt pretty lucky) I thought 7.25’s...

    Lifter failure

    Absolutely, and contrary to popular belief the oil filter won’t save it. When a cam/lifter does that the metal drops right on the closest rods and crankshaft area.

    Need help with door linkage

    Hold the phone. The mechanism you circled is for opening the door, not the lock. Did you mean you can’t open the door from the outside? If that is the case there are two places that can be worked with. The door button has a pin on it that presses a paddle looking part on the mechanism. If that...

    Timing sprocket gear loose against cam key.

    I sometimes make a comparison like this. The parts that come out of China are about the same as when they use english in the directions. Close, but not quite right.
