    You might be able to find that hardware kit elsewhere for about the same price, but it's like $15 on Rock Auto. If you search for it on Rock Auto, pick a 1970 model Mopar with a 318. The kit doesn't show up if you pick a 340 motor. :realcrazy:

    The Cloyes chain set is pretty good. I've had excellent luck from Edelbrock chains for years. Rock Auto has a hardware package with the drip tab in it, along with some other usable stuff. More Information for ENGINETECH HK108

    Vin letters question.

    I know a guy who bought a 69 Dodge Daytona that was in Australia and brought it to the USA. It had been converted to right hand drive, and he has left it that way. Nice car, and has been in a lot of magazines.

    Radiator shop

    It's hard to find a good radiator shop anymore. The EPA has run all of the ones they find out of business. I had 2 radiators recored at a small town shop an hour away from me last year. I had a 2998949 and a 2998974 recored with high efficiency cores. $600 each. The old guy that owns the place...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Well.....looks like you did too good of a job on the little wagon. Now they're gonna bring you the little tractor because it looks bad next to the wagon! lol. Did you get some red base from SPI? :thumbsup:

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    I wouldn't buy a motor from CME if they were the last place on earth. I called them first when I needed a 4.7 for my Dakota, because they are close enough to go pick it up. Every single person I spoke with that day on the phone had the shittiest attitude that could be. The sales guy wasn't the...

    motor mount Q

    Hey Robert....I just noticed something I did wrong on the passenger side mount. I put it in front of the block ears instead of behind them like it should be! :BangHead: That's what I get for getting in a hurry....lol. Maybe lift your motor up just a bit, to where the insulators barely clear...

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    Are you going to add a trailer brake controller with it? I've had a Tekonsha Prodigy in my Dodge diesel for 20 years and never had a split second of trouble with it. Your hitch turned out great!

    motor mount Q

    I stuck the mounts on to take the pics for Robert, but I will usually leave one insulator loose as a goose during install and then tighten stuff up where it needs to be when everything fits where it's supposed to. B&E bodies are no problem, but 64-72 A bodies and D series trucks are a pain in...

    spring pad location

    It's probably a 62-63 B body housing. If you have the axles from it, check them in the rearend chunk you plan to use to see if it has the same axle splines as whatever axles you're going to use, before you go to the trouble of putting the housing in the car. That housing would have come with the...

    Nope of the day

    My wife's sister and brother-in-law have a place on Hartwell. We visited a few years ago and were just out tooling around on jet skis. We stopped to jump in and cool off, and I saw a plastic water bottle bobbing up and down in the water. Pulled it up and it was a mini jug line, but had a Gar...

    Vin letters question.

    Do you have to convert them to right hand drive or can you leave them as is? Seems like I remember someone on Moparts.com, who was either in NZ or AUS buying a USA car and having to switch it to right hand drive. That was 20 or so years ago though. Looks like you got a nice Dart to fix, so hope...

    spring pad location

    Is the housing 52 5/8 inches flange to flange where the axles bolt in? That's factory A body 8 3/4 length. Someone may have moved the spring perches out a half inch on each side to put that rearend in a B body sometime in the last 60 or so years. What's weird is, I have one with that exact same...

    True, but if you figure out how to snake it out of there, you'll know how to put a new one back in. :)

    Maybe so....it's only got two ways it can go. I'll find out when I gut it out to paint it.

    Filler tube replacement 65 Barracuda

    You know.....I've had a half dozen or more 64-65 Barracudas and never had to take the fuel filler pipe out. How the heck do you get it out? :eek: Twist it and work it towards the front of the car, up over the wheelhouse until the bottom end clears the hole in the side panel?

    Removing push button auto controls.

    I took these snap ring pliers and checked to see if it will remove the nuts on the wipers and lights of my 65 Barracuda. The tips don’t fit all the way into the little slots in the nuts, but it grips them tight enough to remove the nuts. These came from Northern Tool, but Harbor Freight may have...

    Monthly internet connection costs. Question?

    That's great Jim. You've probably already done it, but make sure you have unlimited data usage on your cell phone so you don't get a big whopping phone bill from running over your data limit.

    Removing push button auto controls.

    I've used needle nosed pliers to remove the headlight switch and wiper switch bezels on later stuff, but there were tools the dealerships used to remove them. Does yours look like the one in the picture in post # 7 above? If it does, maybe some snap ring pliers would work in the holes to move it.

    Removing push button auto controls.

    To get the headlight knob out, you have to reach up behind the dash and feel around on the headlight switch until you find the pin to push. It will kind of feel like the head of a rivet sticking up about 1/8 of an inch. Like was mentioned above, it is spring loaded...so it moves in and out of...

    New tool. CAT D6B

    Dang....dozers must be the new rage, lol. There's a guy on Moparts, who lives in Texas that just got a big ol front end loader for free! https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/3232584/got-a-free-caterpillar-977-now-what.html#Post3232584

    Long Tube Header Bolts

    If you use studs in the end bolt holes, instead of bolts....you won't have to drain the radiator every time you have to replace header gaskets.

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    Yep, intake comes off without affecting the heads. You might have to remove the valve covers, and it would most definitely be easier to put the intake back on with the valve covers off. The corners, both front and back need a little extra Ultra Black sealer.

    New Project

    I think the steering box/frame brace may be factory, or an add on because of a recall or something. It looks just like the one on my truck. I had my wife wiggle the steering wheel back and forth with the engine running so I could look to see where the play was in my steering. My steering box was...

    65 Barracuda daily driver

    That's bound to have been fun! How was sleeping in the car? I've wondered if it would be hard to do on a road trip. I'm 6' and 225, so I'd probably get tired of it pretty quick at my age...lol.
