I know that I’m not the only one like this. Car guys will sometimes have more than one of the cars they like. I’ve seen it across all models of cars too… VW dudes that have 4 Beetles and a van, Ford guys with two Mustangs and a Torino. We Mopar guys do it too. This often means we have cars that...

When I was a kid, my Dad used to comment how some cars on the road looked like other cars from other manufacturers. I'm sure you have noticed that too. Some say that the Duster, Demon and Dart Sport look like a 68-72 Nova. The recessed rear window in a 68-70 Charger looks like the rear window in...

The outer stamping of the 67, 68, 69 and 73-76 Dart fenders are essentially the same except for the side marker light. I can cut and weld. I have several 73-76 Dart fenders here and have heard of people making them work for a 67-69 Dart. Yeah, I know that there are differences with the...

I got a car trailer last year. So far, I've dragged one running and 4 dead vehicles up on it using a hand ratcheting "come-along" and a chain. The heaviest was a 5000 lb Saturn SUV. That sucked! I want to look into a medium duty winch to make this easier. I want something reasonably...

This subject came up on the FMJ forum. A member there mentioned that in New York, cars that are model year 1974 and later are required to have rear window defrosters. They have a few exclusions but it got me curious... I have never seen any sort of rear window defroster in any A body, ever. None...

Is this something new? I know that the Bureau of Automotive Repair places weird restrictions and practices on repair shops. Several years ago, I read they required all shops to do a tire pressure check even if they were in for something completely UNrelated to the tires. Is that happening here...

I’m honest enough to admit that I don’t know everything so help me out here. It seems that whenever I go to another town for a visit or vacation, the locals seem to be friendly. I am Not the world traveler that many of you are, I’ve never been out of the country. I’ve been to Georgia, Florida...

I read on Mopar Action awhile back about these new battery jumper boxes: These are interesting. I like the idea of having something lightweight and compact to bring with any vehicle I'm taking on road trips. No need for getting help from someone else for a jump start if you accidently...

I saw this complete car at the Pick-N-Pull in Rocklin, CA. 1980 Chrysler Cordoba. Ever see this engine code? E 46? Yeah. 318 4 barrel. Did you see the base timing setting? That is what we often set the timing in engines with big cams! Not a lean burn but it did have some weird...

Being a rebel can be rewarding when it works out for you....and it can be embarrassing when it fails and everyone saw it coming. Do you have stories of where you were advised to NOT do something and you did it anyway? How did it work out? Maybe you were advised TO do something and you didn't...

Okay, feel free to let me have it if you think that this is a bad idea but..... To those that want their cars to handle better, aligning the car to have more caster really helps. There are numerous ways to get there, some are more effective than others. You can crack open the wallet and buy...

Here is a new one that I've never seen before.... It pertains to a 75 Power Wagon of mine but since the electrical systems on cars and trucks are so similar, I figure that it applies here. (I did post this in the Truck forum as well) The truck is a 75 W 200 Power Wagon (1978 Grille) that was...

Do any of you remember the drive and force that you felt years ago when something needed to be done? I do. I used to take things as a challenge and rise to meet it. I was motivated to do things. Many times nowadays, it just isn't there. Part of me wants to but laziness creeps in. I want to get...

Yeah, it is an E body but still an amazing Mopar. Notice how well the thing sticks in the turns. THAT looks like far more fun than any 1/4 mile pass!

This seems to be a great time to buy if you're looking. I have seen (what seems to me) a FAR MORE THAN USUAL amount of sale ads in the lists under "New Posts". I don't recall seeing that many ads since White Punk On Nitro was around.

Hello, I retired last year with 36 years in construction. I was a framing Carpenter and built lots of houses, schools and commercial buildings. One thing that nobody could ever answer was the following: With 2x4s and 2x6s, they were always 1/2" undersize in each dimension.... 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" and...

I’ve been a Holley guy for years. I like their simplicity and interchangeability. They sure have gone up in price though. I see these Brawlers that look like Holleys. The Roadkill guys have used them on project cars too. I’m in need of a good 600 cfm single feed 4 barrel for my 67 Dart. I...

Ha.... My very first one did, a '69 Dart 318 I had for a little over a year in 82-83. I sold it to buy a Dart Sport. About a year after I sold it, I saw it at a local U-Pull-It junkyard. It was a sad moment for me. It wasn't even wrecked, they must have encountered something mechanical they...

Beware....there is some coarse language spoken within...

It sits there....you have the stuff to do it but it just sits there. You walk by it, knowing that you should just go ahead and dig in and get it done. What project do you have in the garage that you just can't bring yourself to do?

Last summer I parted out a 74 Duster and these things may have come from that car.

It has been awhile since I did a full rebuild on a carburetor. I’ve changed jets, power valves, metering blocks, accelerometer pump cams and such but it has been years since I did a full tear down. I have these cars out back: They both have mild 360s with the most basic of all Holley...

Today I stumbled upon a small stash of UNused oil in bottles that had no date code on them but did have the SAE API circle with ratings of SD and SF. I thought that I was told that the higher in the alphabet the second letter was, the higher the detergent level. In short, an oil like this...

Years back, I had a boss that tried hard to be efficient. I worked in construction where sometimes the profit margins were made or lost on how productive the employees were. Ron made it a point to use all the materials that we could to minimize waste but that was just the tip of the iceberg for...

I know that much if the time, nobody cares about the dreams that others have, but.... This morning I sprung AWAKE from a dream, the likes of which I have never had. Something was posted online and after some research, I uncovered some Russian plot involving Mafia type business with a local...

I raced there a few times over the years but wasn't an avid drag race guy. Our Sacramento Mopar club was involved in some of the Mopar specific events. It was fun while it lasted but the owner has been trying to sell for over 6 years. I was told that the county specifically stated that once any...

I'm helping a guy do an A/C conversion on his Plymouth.... He bought a system from Vintage Air but it was a bit of a piecemeal thing, not a complete kit. The setup came with no rubber hoses and not enough fittings for the compressor lines, the evaporator lines or the condenser. He liked how...

Here is one I just heard Saturday..... MSN RUD ? Rapid Unexpected/Unscheduled Disassembly? That is some funny ****....great way to describe an explosion !

My driveway has some cracks and holes that need to be patched. I know that you can buy 5 gallon buckets of stuff to plug the holes so I'm leaning that way. I plan to eventually have the entire driveway sealed but I'm not sure when I will be able to. It has been in the low 70s for daily highs and...
