Finally get a day to decompress. I am getting ready to fetch Jodi at the airport. She has been gone a month. I have spent the morning on clean up detail. Plus we rented out the BnB so I had all that laundry as well. Arghh

i remember that from the late 80's/early 90's

Step drill is the way to go. You can get a cheapy at HF. They are good for maybe three holes! Blue tape the bit where you want to stop or it will pull itself in farther than you want. Lord have mercy where is Karl?

Not that I know of but IIRC you can use a 4 inch stroke piston and a 6.250 rod with a 3.79 crank. The problem is finding an off the shelf piston with the correct dome and geometry and something with thinner than 1/16 rings.

By the way your car is sick looking with the wheels up launch!!!

Check everything incl. grounds, and the dimmer switch on the floor is usually bad if not replaced. Brake lite switch under dash that works off the pedal check it. I hate wiring!!!! Especially when a yahoo had his hands on the car, aka "boy racer".

Were you running a mid and engine plate? If so did you run a solid trans mount with no bushings. Thanks

yup I can send power down the wire from inside the dash and it works, I am starting to suspect I should just check the connection from the battery in the trunk to the factory harness but having someone reinforce the obvious helps with triggering these other ideas, thanks

Am I reading it right? A 3.79 crank with a stock length rod uses a stock piston?

Its been a while since I have done this, but you need to remove your cable to grease or replace, either way. What I can’t remember is if the cable itself can be pulled through the casing once it is removed due to the squared off ends. If it does come through, don’t pull it all the way out. Pull...

1 psi won’t make a huge difference but dropping it 3 ponds down to 5 where it should will. I get you want period correct and don’t want a regulator (I wouldn’t do a dead head regulator so I’d say a return regulator but that’s even more expensive and more work) then leave it at 8 psi and tune...

Champion plugs also belong in the trash . I'v had excellent luck with autolite plugs. Back in the day when I did use Champion plugs they were usually good for a couple thousand miles at best.

I like to center the valve as best I can before starting, tighten the bolts all the way, start it up, then loosen them just a tad....just enough so I can tap the valve for final adjustment if needed. sometimes you don't need to do anything if you luck out on the install. If you mark the position...

If you look at a stock block you will see 16 huge holes in the middle of each lifter bore. What happens is the band of the roller goes up past that hole letting oil escape instead of going to your bearings. To compound this point the lifter bores are worn from being 30 plus years old. The best...

Thanks for pinging me back. So I take it that a '68 frame will not accept the '67 trim or seat backs?

Thanks. I will stop trying to find them from some other Mopar application.

Probably dislodged an O ring, or, when you started it up with the valve too loose and it blew an O ring from it's seat. Pull it apart and try again.

What's wrong with it the way it is? Roadkill would probably cross country rally it as it sits.

Because of rural counties in GA... Alan

My '75 4 door valiant had standard bias-plys. According to the '75 lit, radials were standard only on the Gran Fury. Next down was bias steel belted, and then 2 ply. https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1975/75-Plymouth-engineering_0016.jpg HD suspension...

Get out the volt meter and the power probe and dive in.

I'm pretty sure it came in with the electronic ignition. The wiring difference is basic. Input tied (Ign1 - blue), output to ignition module and coil. Alan

I've heard of running Rancho adjustable truck shocks on A-bodies, but I haven't tried this myself. Perhaps someone else has more details?

Step drill bit for larger hole in sheet metal? My largest bit is 1/2" need a little bigger for throttle cable. Maybe conical grinding stone

A little JB Weld, some duct tape and some polishing compound and you're back on the road! LMAO

That car is no way worth anything close to 50k. People think that because they have a old car that it's worth a fortune and most of the time it's not. I know where there's a low mileage ultra clean 1974 duster and they are asking 40k for it and it's a 318 car it's been for sale for at least 2 years

I got one and read the process. It seems as though its trying to slow flow and block and block off some oil passages. Is this necessary or will she run with out doing this. I have only assembled the bottom end no torquing. Got this racing manual and read that but this is a racing manual. I will...
