    Curses, chineesiomed again (fuel sender)

    A little background. A few years ago I rebuilt my fuel system. New tank, sender, Holley blue fuel pump, regulator, fuel line, filter, carb, everything. Going for a ride to celebrate fathers day with the family, car stutters and acts starved for gas! Limp it back home at 30 mph (while I get...

    Ceramic sealant

    So I live on a dirt road and I'm concerned about scratching the paint washing the grit off. I'm considering it for my 69 convertibles as well as my new Durango GT. Is there a downside? I like the idea of not having to reapply it as frequently and providing a coating between the paint and the...

    No more raised brown letters

    Apparently B F Goodrich produced a defective run of tires. I bought 4 with some cool wheels from American Specialty an the back tire were constantly turning brown. I finally got tired (see how I did that) and filed a claim to get them replaced. I had less than 500 miles on them due to the...

    Brake Booster Blues

    So the brakes on my 69 Dart have been getting harder and harder to stop the car. I thought I would check the diaphragm on the 50 year old booster and sure enough it presented zero resistance to vacuum. So I went to carid and found there version of what I needed and ordered it. Unfortunately...

    [Found!] Demon carb electric choke

    So for some reason my dyno shop removed and lost the choke parts on my 750 Demon. Im trying to ID this older carb and find the missing choke parts. If it wasn't dyno tuned to this combo I would just start over. If you can ID this carb that would be great, if you have a handle on the electric...

    Aligned into oblivion

    So I raised the torsion bars to gain ground clearance, and the front end was wandering, so I took the car to an experienced shop. My $69 alignment turned into an $800 front end rebuild. I went to pick up the car and he told me he got everything aligned, but I would need to get a spacer for the...

    Dash help please

    So my 69 Barracuda has decided to peg the temp gauge and occasionally the gas gauge. I'm thinkin its the instrument voltage regulator either gone bad or has a bad ground. Can someone post a pic of the back of the dash? I'd like to see where its located so I can try to work with it without...

    69 weird brakes

    So I hopped in my Dart to give it a winter warm up and a really strange thing happened. First of all the motor was running at a much higher rpm than normal, by about 400 rpm. Wouldn't drop down even when it came up to temp. Then whenever I stepped on the brakes, the RPM went up about another...
