I been out of the A-body game for 2-3 years after selling my yellow '71 Scamp. Honestly wasn't looking for another, as I had been searching for a nice D100 lately. I had a deal fall through on a nice '65 sweptline and found this '72 Scamp in Albuquerque. Engine specs are a little hazy, as the...

I recently got back into the A-body game with another Scamp. It has a 4-link rear and tubular upper and lower control arms on the front with QA1 coilovers all around. The rear rides good, however the front hits very hard over sharp bumps. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be very much gap...

Just wondering if it's possible. I'm pretty sure the rest of these transmissions are basically the same. I have an '91 Dakota (5.2 TBI) with A500 trans that destroyed the OD clutch pack(and actually damaged the tail housing). I am swapping a '97 5.2 magnum into this truck and have the trans...

One of the many disadvantages to not being in the automotive repair industry anymore is that I don't have access to Alldata anymore. I'm needing the 50 way bulkhead connector pinout for a '91 Dakota, and possibly a '92 also, though I have a '93 pinout and was hoping it was the same as '92 It...

Putting a LBP 8.25 rear in a friend's '72 Duster. He got the rear end with no brake drums, so I ordered some 10 inch LBP drums. Now that I have them, they are too wide for the brake shoe setup on this rear end. My shoes measure 1 3/4, and these drums are about 2 3/4 wide. Everywhere I look now...

Doing my second A-body magnum EFI swap on a friend's '72 Duster. When I did the swap in my Scamp a couple years ago, I couldn't find a wire that had power with the key in the run and the crank position, so I had to toggle switch the power wire for the computer. Thought maybe it was a problem...

Bought a rebuilt torque converter for a '72 904 last month off EBay. Installed it in the trans today just seems a little off to me. If you push the converter all the way into the trans(farther than it would normally sit) it turns rough, like it's rubbing on something. The other odd thing about...

Had a weird noise in the trans on my '67 Barracuda that ended up being a destroyed rear sprag. Bought a used 904 off Craigslist for parts. After seeing that the sprag was riveted in, I figued I'd have to make it a "bolt in" sprag. I picked 4 of the seven holes on the outer sprag case and drilled...

I have a 904 lock up in my Scamp (or 999/998, it's an early '80s model) and I don't like how soon it locks up the converter. It locks at 35mph and doesn't unlock until I've slowed down to around 15mph. No throttle response makes it unlock once it has locked at 35mph. Now of course if I give it...

Pulled this off my '71 Scamp when I did a 5.9 magnum swap. Never got to try it cause a previous owner put a 4bbl on the 318 that was in the car and never tried to figure out how to get the cruise cable hooked back up. All I can say is that it is off a low mileage car and that everything else has...

Why is it that when buying a used computer (or like an old Mopar Performance one) that the Vin and mileage from the vehicle you're putting it in must be flashed into it, however, when doing these EFI swaps into our cars its not an issue? I know it wasn't the case with the OBD1 stuff that I used...

This is second annual Mopar Shakers of the Plains car show in Amarillo, TX on October 8th.

My friends and I love the Roadkill show and we had talked about how, since Dodge sponsers them, they should do an episode where they get an old Mopar and bring it to the Nats. We're walking around Saturday in the manufacturers midway and see some ratty old black Challenger, that looks like it...

I've been going to the Mopar Nats since '98, and my plan this year was to take my '71 Scamp that I put a '00 5.9 with EFI into. I always leave for Ohio the week before the Nats. I'm from Ohio originally and have family and friends to visit. Left at 6am New Mexico time and got into my home town...

I have fiberglass front fenders and a stock style fiberglass hood from US Body Source. They fit the '69-'72 Valiants, '70-'72 Dusters, and '71-'72 Scamps. The fenders and hood may also fit the '73-'76 Duster/Scamps/Valiants to convert them to the earlier front end (would also need the earlier...

I'm trying to get AC working on my '71 Scamp that hasn't had any AC components on it in years. I tried to "flush" the evap core by spraying some cleaner in the larger fitting and then using compressed air to blow it out the smaller fitting. Got some cleaner to come out the smaller fitting, but...

I'm getting ready to start working on an AC system for my magnum swapped '71 Scamp. My first thoughts are to get everything under the hood for a '94-'96 Dakota. I will use the factory '71 Evap core and expansion valve, then have hoses made to connect to the Dakota dryer and compressor. My...

Went looking for the mythical early Magnum 5.2 fuel rail with the built-in pressure regulator. There was one '92 V8 Dakota at the Wrench-a-part in Lubbock Texas today, and low and behold, there it was! Never seen one before, of course I never really looked until magnummopar mentioned...

I need the Valiant emblems that go on the front fenders, the ones that would be above the Duster or Scamp decals. Need the V8 emblems that are also on the front fenders too.

Got my feet wet on this swap with a '74 Dart Sport last year. After I found out I could make a magnum run with fuel injection, I decided to take everything out of it and look for a better car and motor. Had this Scamp once before a few years ago. The first time I had it I put big bolt disc...

Wondering if anyone here has a Mopar M1 intake for the Magnum 5.2/5.9 WITH FUEL INJECTION. I don't want the carb version. They made a 2 and 4 bbl throttle body version and either one would be fine.
