Here is my 16x24 on pier and beam, resting really on cinder blocks, works perfect with 2x6 floor joists it handles the weight with zero problem! Cost about $5000.00 John B.

I am running BFG 245/60/14's in the rear, BFG 235/60/14's in front! Only issue was a little rubbing on the rear lip when I hit a bump in the road, my leaf springs are sagging, so installed air shocks to raise it 1 inch, until I replace the leafs!!

It was fun, although somewhat subdued this year!! I wish they would limit the cruise to just classic cars and not allow modern cars!! JDB

Sweet!!

Any members going to the Lone Star Hotrod Round up in Austin Texas? It is this weekend April 4-6. The cruise usually happens on Friday and Saturday nights up and down Congress Ave South of the river. There you can see thousands of cars of all types. I park in front of South Congress Baptist...

No he is really closing and selling the land too! Our Mopar club went out there this past Saturday to see what we could find. The crusher is coming and there are some things left for A body cars, not a whole lot but some. Expect to pay though as he is not giving this stuff away! I did see two...

Thanks for the suggestions so far! It is not a daily driver and I only put about a 1000 miles on it a year, mostly club cruises and weekend cruises in general. It's not tagged by the state for more that 1200 miles a year, Antique plates etc. I live in Texas! So that being said I think new...

Howdy folks, I am sure this has been discussed before. I just bought new tires for my stock 67 Barracuda Fastback. The rears are BF Goodrich 245/60R/14's mounted on old school Cragers. Went from 225/60/R14's. They rub when I hit a good bump or dip in the road and I have a couple of options as...

Support, that's a twin edge sword right! So yes she supports it, she is the reason I got into this at all really. But on the other hand, I know she would prefer that I get all the "honey do's" done that need attention first, I think we all make that mistake. But overall, she supports the...

No less a Barracuda, In fact that year range, 64-66 can be what started it all, as far as High horse power mid-sized cars go. Remember in 1964 the Valient Barracuda beat the Ford Mustange to market, and 64-66 had the largest single piece of glass ever installed into a production car! Still...

Ok true story! When I was getting Wanda on the road I had to find the front rubber brake lines right! So I go to autozone and they have one of two I need, but the other store (a few miles away) has the other one. Cool right? So off I go, and I walk into the store and ask the twenty year old...

It matters not what you drive to the meeting, or if you even own a Mopar, just love the brand and get invloved. Meetings are the first tuesday of the month, We have our meeting at Gethsamane Lutheran church, located at 200 west Anderson lane, Austin Texas. Directly behind the Humane Center...

I only mention the brake deal because it happened to me personally! So the deal is with the brake adjusters, after a while the shoes go all the way out and are so tight that they will lock the wheels. After seeing the last post and a tragic story with the Demon. If I were you I would tow it to...

Forgot to mention, the primary brake shoe (smaller one) goes in facing the front of the car. So having the secondary shoe on facing front on both wheels would cause that problem. Maybe even on one wheel since you have a suregrip!

For what it's worth my mistake in putting the shoes on wrong took over a year to reveal itself. Drove great over 800 miles, untill one day! Bam right front wheel locked. So I am just saying that if the shoes are installed incorrectly you may not notice by a mere quick look at them. The last...

We crave picture!!!!!!!!!!!!! :worthles::worthles:;) John D. Beckerley Austin, Tx.

My money is on the brakes, Hose etc... I replaced my brake shoes and did not realize there are two sizes of shoe on each wheel. Only about an inch difference, One primary and one secondary. if put in the wrong place will LOCK UP A WHEEL! Of course you had both rear wheels lock up, so either...

I am not sure you will find that offset with a Crager wheel? Have you tried newstalgia Wheel? I know they have Cragers and the four inch blot pattern available. Still not so sure about 2 3/8 offset. You did not state what size tire you want to run? Good Luck, John D. Beckerley

800.00 in 1993! Got it under it's own power 15 years later the day after Thanksgiving 2008! Yes a long road, but well worth the wait, dive all the time now! Lot's of work, all new braking system, this and that, street legal and registered, insured! Lot's still to do, but she is getting there!

Looking good Mr. I bet it's like really hot doing all that work huh? Welding in 103 plus heat, no fun! The new weight loss program! John B. A.k.a. Fishthatkills

It's three at this time. This is an annual event in that the Austin, Houston and San Antonio clubs meet for fun, fellowship and Mopar talk. This is my third year of attending and sometimes we get quite a few folks gathered. Come out even if you can't drive you Mopar. It's a great chance to...

Hey folks, Sorry such short notice but the Mopar Muscle Club of Austin and the San Antonio and Houston clubs are having our annual Tri-City picnik this Saturday April 23rd in Bastrop Texas. See the flyer for details, and this is a great way to meet other Mopar owners around here! Bring your...

Hey folks I spent this last Saturday cleaning up a 904 tranny and was wondering what the difference was between the years? Mainly my 1967 and up. The 904 I cleaned up (72 Duster) looks a little different than the one in my car, is it just the casting or something else. Anyone know of a good...

I second the Mopar type electronic dizzy set-up, works great! Not so keen on HEI as that's a Chebby deal, (Sorry Dan) But it's really up to you! John B.

We did exactly that, left everything on the coil where it was and added the "new" wires from the accel points eliminator. The only wire we did not reuse was from the original points configuration, which you replace when you install the "new" trigger! And we get no spark, so what I am hearing...

We connected Red to positive, Green to negatve on the coil and brown to ground! We left the blue from wiring harness connected to positive, and from what I can tell it's in series with the ballast resistor so still no sparky! Do I need to run another wire from positive to the run posistion...

Anyone ever use the Accel points eliminator kit? I was trying to install this dang thing in my buddy's 67' Belvedere II with a 318, can't seem to get any spark! Do I need to tie the + side coil terminal to the ballast resistor? Here is the link to the product...

Hair Dryer, first and get it off, then some lighter fluid for the residual sticky stuff or WD-40. John B.

Thanks Night Moves! I could just write a check and be done with it, but what's the fun in that right! Besides it's way more fun and rewarding to tackle a problem and design and build something to correct that problem. They do it at NASA all the time! So part of the reward for doing so is the...
