I just went out and tightened the belts just to make sure they were good. I replaced the pump because the that was on the car was leaking.

Okay. I put the car on a floor jack. Turns like a champ. Then I get to full lock on either side and it just screams. Any thoughts.

Hey guys. I just replaced my power steering pump. Id the a bleed valve either on the pump or on the steering box? I have air in the system and have been told just to put miles on it and the air would work its self out. I would like to speed up the process. Thank you.

Hello Gents. I just installed a new pump. Getting a hell of a whine from it. I am sure from speaking to friends that I have some air in the system. Would love some tricks to get this going so I do not piss off the neighbors. My motor is a 318 and this is a 1971 Scamp. Thank you in advance for...

Forgive me not knowing this info. Do the headlights have a relay already? Circuit breaker would be an inline fuse correct?

Hello gents. I will be building myself a new dash. New gauges etc. Couple of questions. 1. Can I use a toggle switch for the headlights instead of the push pull stock switch? 2. What is the best thing to do for blinkers on the new dash. Thank you everyone very much.

Thank you very much. May I ask one question of you. Were the blinkers easy to hoop up with your new dash? I am not there as of yet and wondering if that was a challenge.

Hello gents. Looking for some help. I will be making my own replacement dash. Going to install an Auto Meter Gas Gauge. They have them according to full and empty Ohm readings. Looking for info on what will work with a new replacement sending unit that is a stock replacement. They have these...

Thanks so much for the help. Looks like it is part of the cruise control. One of the wires goes to the speedo junction box. I mean where the 2 piece speedo cable is joined. I know that is part of the cruise control. Did cruise control use vaccum to operate? Just curious. One other thing. I...

Hey guys I am cleaning up my engine compartment and am wondering what this part is. Can anyone help on this?

Men I have a performer manifold on a 318. Between the bolts 1 and 5 there is a threaded hole that looks to be 3/8. Can you guys let me know what that is to be used for? Thanks

hey guys. I was just under my hood working on cleanming up the engine bay. On the passenger side fender well (inside the bay) I have a line that come up and is under the heater hoses. I tracked it as far as I could as i only had a few minutes and it seems like it runs right next to the gas...

Your work looks outstanding. Really nice. One more question. is your speedo electric or cable. If it is electric, is that a hard mod? What size guages did you use? They look just great.

I am just starting this project. I just bought an extra dash bezel. Let me ask this. Were the original whiper switch and headlight switch easy to install? Not sure how the are secured to the bezel. Your dash looks amazing. Very nice work.

Thanks very much. That is where i put the wire for the condenser. i was hoping that i did not have to pull the thing apart again. I really appreciate the help. You guys are great. Have a great day off guys. Back to it on Tuesday. One last thing. Anyone know where to get an entire dash...

Thanks What about the tube with the wire? BD

Happy New Years to you all. I have an odd one for you. Today, i was trying to take out my cluster. I am talking of the entire piece. I leaned it forward and a 3 pronged piece fell out. I then noticed that my gas guage was not working. Got this piece back and the guage worked fine. #1...

Men Can onbe of you fine gents tell me the model number for the bulb for a top fender mounted turn signal on a 71 Scamp?

I do have factory air but it does not work. I am toying with taking all of it out of the car. I like driving the car with all of the windows open. I also do not drive it in the heat of summer. Just a night. I am also of the opinion that if I evetually want AC to put a newer system in. I have...

Men Can any of you tell me what this is? I would love to get rid of it. There is a hose out of the back that goes to the back of my carb. Info? Thanks B

I know I could do it and would love to but I have 3 young kids all in sports so my weekends are packed. If I started this job it would take me forever to finish. I am not afraid of getting dirty or the work, its just the time.

Men I need some advise on a leaky main. I have a 318 that has leaky rear main. I have gone to two different mechanics. One said he would do it with the motor in the car for about $400.00. The other guy did a kick *** job on my tranny wants to pull the motor to do the job for $900.00. Any...

Here is an update for you all for awhile ago. I had an issue with my car not starting in neutral off and on. I did a bunch of work and found out that there was a broken plastic bushing on the linkage. Problem solved. My kick down was not working properly also. I had the Lokar cable...

Hey guys. Any thoughts on this? BD

Here is a new one for you guys. I have a 318. Stock with an Eddy manifold and a 600. Also elctronic ignition. In the last 3 months and only when it is hot outside and the car has run for awhile, will start to get sluggish and stall. This only happens at a light or when the idle is low. Have...

Update Just had my tranny done. Told them of this problem and they told me that there was a nylon bushing that had a ton of play. They said this would cure the problem. I will let you know. B

Rob Another update for you. I took it in to have the kickdown and throttle linkage replaced. They were going to take a look at the tranny. The pan had lots of metal shavings in the filter so I went for an entire rebuild. Glad i did. They showed me the old parts yesterday. Burned clutches...

Rob I decided to get a Lokar throttle cable and kickdown cable. I have not had them installed yet. Life gets in the way as you know. I would love to get this taken care of this week. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks for the note. B
