    Pressure Plate rattle......

    I replaced the throw-out bearing, last summer but not the PP and clutch disc. The noise is constant whether the clutch is engaged or disengaged. I checked all the linkage and it is all tight. I have a feeling that I need to replace everything, I...

    Pressure Plate rattle......

    I adjusted my clutch pedal travel, how much free play should have on pedal. I have it about a 1/4 inch. The other problem is this tingling rattle, coming from the clutch, it sounds like the springs on the pressure plate. I checked them and they...

    You all got home safe and sound that's the main thing. I hope you made the best of the last 50 miles in the Duster, as pleasurable as possible, goose the gas every so often with 4-30 gears, and 4 people .. That's fun........

    Click,Clickety, goes the Starter???

    Good news and bad news, the battery is fine ..... I could not start it the other day at the gas station, no matter what kind of battery, I threw at it . The good news is it was not an original starter in the Orangedust , it was a...

    Click,Clickety, goes the Starter???

    I am getting between 15 and 17 when it is running. When I had the car in California, I had it in a heated under ground garage and sometimes I would not drive it for weeks. It would fire right up, after all that time of sitting. I am going to try...

    Click,Clickety, goes the Starter???

    I drove around in Orangedust today, and I am having a hard time figuring out this start-up problem. I have a remake Mopar yellow-cap battery, and it is holding 12 volts, I get a good initial start in the morning, but when I shut it off .... and try to re-start her it gives me...

    I went last year as a spectator, I had a ball !!!! Drag racing down the track pretty much all day, excellent car show. It was my first time at the Vegas track. I liked it better than Fontana & Pomona. The only thing I did'nt like was you pay for 1 day or...

    "Pinks" results

    Thanks for clearing that up !! That makes a whole lot more sense. Although I did see an episode, I think the guy with SS Monte Carlo, it was his personal car and he only had about 2 or 3 guys with him. Forking out hard earned money and maybe lose the ride, just to...

    "Pinks" results

    I watched a re-run last night for a few minutes, another thing that puzzles me is, Why is there 20 crew members per team??? Its not like they are a Funny Car or Top Fuel team. I am at the track twice a month, one buddy has a 9 second Duster, another a hi 10 '68...

    70 Dart Swinger, sell it? pictures

    Our cars are out there, but I think the cream puff deals are gone. You can thank the televised B&J Auctions that are on T.V. Don't get me wrong I love watching the auctions, but your non-car buff flips through the channels, catches a glimpse of how much...

    Once I get settled after I move from Calif. to Minnesota, a friend of mine in Chicago said I can have this car, I just got to pick it up. Its 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe. Its a 360 car with buckets and a console. I haven't seen the car in...

    Under hood padding

    Guys, my 70 Duster 340 has the original flat hood, under the hood, there is no underlayment padding, it looks nasty and I want to have under the hood painted car color. I can't tell for sure if there ever was padding before. I think there was...

    Cars You Wish You Could Have Now

    When I was a senior in high school my brothers friend had a 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds #78 that he was selling for 2500 bucks!!! I took a ride in it a couple times, I would have been the "Big Man on Campus", if I could have afforded that car, it was really...

    A little stop lite action.

    I hardly ever do little stop lite blasts, I just shake my head at some of these people, that put exhaust systems , and a cold air kit and think they just added 100 horses. I'm not a big believer in bolt- on parts, why waste all the money, buy 1 thing...

    A little stop lite action.

    I had a call back at one of my buildings, last night around 10pm. On my way home, an '05 Mustang kept driving like a hot dog, down El Cajon Blvd. He was a young guy and with his girlfriend. I'm thinking I gotta embarass this ying-yang in front of his lady...

    Car stolen

    I've found that calling the police is a big waste of time, when they stole my truck last month, I found it 7 hours later before the PD even had it in there computer system. It takes that long to punch a stolen vehicle in a computer. What a joke...

    SURVIVOR, I said SURVIVOR.....

    Have most of us out there getting really tired of hearing, Bloomington Gold certification crying and whining about using the term "SURVIVOR". They claim to have a patent write to only use the word to describe a vintage Corvette. What kind of crap is...

    I heard my 340 orangedust running last week for the first time since I moved it to Minnesota last year. I had a mopar guru, install 2 1/2 inch Raven mufflers, with same diameter tailpipes, straight out the back. It sounds great and I still kept the...

    "Pinks" next racer

    Not a big fan of the show either, but I still watch it also. I just can't deal with the sand bagging crap. I have never done that racing any one in any of my cars. I also heard from some people on that show that it is all fake and no one loses...
