    2 fuel tank questions - can i use a 76 tank on a 67 dart and is 1 gallon enough

    general info - differences between a smogged 318 and a non smogged?

    i understand that the pre-smog 318s had much more power. is making a smog-era 318 the same as a "non-smogged" version a matter of simple parts exchange/removal/replacement? or are they 2 completely different motors? just curious. thanks for any insight

    i am about to give up - i am thoroughly confused egading linkages

    i was told over and over that a /6 to SB would be simple, and while that was sort of true, the reality is that a lot of things can get confusing between years of cars, trans styles, shifter styles, etc. i dont mind this its just that i dont have the understanding and now my car sits in the...

    ok last trans question for the night - are there different gear arms and linkage rods

    i think my trans issue is that the linkage rod is not actuating the trans gear selector arm enough. it does the first time through the gears but when i go back up to Park and then down again, the linkage rod is not allowing the trans gear arm to return all the way to Park and thus throws...

    maybe this is my issue with trans linkage - pic attached?

    perhaps my rod is too long - ha i wish. but seriously check out this pic from a V8 console shifter linkage: notice the length of the shifetr rod. the one i have from my slant 6 seems MUCH longer than this. perhaps i just need to cut mine down to allow the rod to push/pull the gears...
