    Fuel pickup/sender units with vent

    Considering getting a new unit as opposed to drilling holes for a return line. I see quite a few options over pages of looking. Might just try a bulkhead fitting, too. Any recommendations for a known GOOD unit? 'Good' would include a sender that works with the OEM gauge, a float that might...

    Most Popular This Week

    I started getting the above compiled list some months back. Never asked for it, it just showed up in my email. Now, it's gone. I kind'a got used to it and would like to have it back. A quick perusal of options/content and I didn't find such a thing. How to? Thanks.

    Edelbrock AirGap question

    Re: 1969 DODGE DART Edelbrock 75763 Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing It seems the Chevy versions of this manifold have a notch cut in the L/R divider wall...the Mopar versions do not. Is there a reason for that? Seems hard to believe that gap does something in...

    [FOR SALE] Wanted: Heat/AC lever knobs

    ...replacements for the (OEM) chrome-plated plastic bits that fit on the end of the temp selection/control levers. OEM is OK but not critical. I do see aftermarket pieces available...for $20 each and +$10 shipping. That's a bit much. IF OEM, preferably with the 'chrome' NOT flaking...

    Local track night

    Went to the local track last night. It was mostly test-n-tune, street legal stuff... A '65 Mustang. Didn't make enough noise to even HEAR. Hit 2nd gear hard enough to move the car MORE than his line launch. Ran within thousandths of a perfect light AND within thousands of his dial-in...

    Input rollers misplaced

    A hypothetical: Suppose, while placing the 833 mainshaft into the input gear, a roller is displaced. What's a guess as to how long it would take to feel/know/find out that happened? I had my 833 apart 30 years ago and maybe made that error. The car is rarely driven..and rarely in this...

    A-body 833 26 spline

    An education, please, on the history and reason for the two different spline configurations for the 833? Was it the introduction of the 340 that brought about the 30 spline shaft? I presume the 30 spline shaft is larger in diameter than the 26? Will the 26 spline live with a 340 OK? My...

    What's broke?

    Looking for best guesses on new breakage. It's a transmission issue. It might be clutch related, but kind'a doubt it. Engine running, trans in neutral, clutch pedal pushed, things are quiet. Let the pedal out, and I can hear and feel (in the shifter) a gravelly racket. Not quite rocks in a...

    Vapor port on fuel tank

    My '73 Duster fuel tank has a hose fitting on the top, presumably for the vapor capture setup that was originally on the car. That fitting is connected to a vapor separator inside the tank? As such, the fitting could NOT be used as a return line? Not for EFI, but for a fuel return to help...

    Opinions please?

    Re: Installation of carb spacer and heat shield. Which works better: Spacer below the heat shield, or the way around? I could make an argument for either, but I'm sure there is a preferred sequence. Thanks for the input!

    Opines or facts please

    I have two heat insulators to choose from to try on my car. One is from Holley, a 1/2" item made of layers of gooped paper. The second is a resin impregnated/phenolic looking piece. The Holley piece is compressible as evidenced by the hard plastic bits used in the mounting holes. The resin...

    Signature pic

    Noticed it was gone..a website upgrade no doubt. I have some pics on Imgur I can use...but I don't get the size part of it right. Even though I specify a thumbnail size, the link I use to Imgur does not CHANGE size on the forum. I've tried a couple of different types (don't even know what...

    A Body fenders

    What I know about A bodies comes from working on my car for the past 45 years. I know little of different model histories and differences. I will guess that this question is silly to anyone that has a history with different cars in the line. I took a front fender off my car decades ago...

    Shiny things

    Is the Endurashine process worth a hoot? I bought one of their 'tumbled' polished carbs that turned out to be a maintenance *****. Endurashine should be a better finish than that. Question comes from looking at an Endurashine 7576 (RPM Performer Air Gap) for sale on the bay. They don't put...

    Tach wiring question

    This is a general question that others may hopefully relate/respond to. I have a Mallory tach with a shift ID light. Nothing fancy. The wiring to it has been iffy for some time... a mis-match of connectors fit together and wrapped with Scotch-88. I wanted it easily separable dealing at one...

    Intake manifold choices

    I have been running an Edlebrock Performer RPM for some time, always with the same problem. This area does a 'fuel change' twice a year with a change to 'summer blend' around Memorial Day. That causes a problem when an 'unseasonably' warm day comes around in April or early May. The vapor...

    OEM front sway bar sizes

    Looking for replacement bushings, I followed the 'does it fit?' recommendations from a website, got to 15/16" bushings. Ordered some. Having put the cart in front of the horse I then thought, 'I wonder what stock sizes were used?' Went looking on the web, didn't find anything definite. The...

    Good to know....

    ...and it only cost me $400 to find out. I ordered front seat covers and foam. After a good bit of poking around the forum, I chose Legendary. Some nine months after ordering, the parts showed up. I took the seats/covers/foam to a local shop that's been around for a good 30 years. There are...

    Radiator upgrade experiences?

    Looking for input on changing from a three-core to a four-core radiator. I am familiar with all the other 'stuff'...fixed flex-blades/viscous drives/shrouds/fan depth etc. NOT asking for anything about that. Has anyone experience with a three to four-core change and how it affected their...

    A lot of worms in this can....

    ...but I'll give it a shot. Using an ignition spark tester along the lines of a MacTools ET3142 and an OEM style Mopar ECU, what voltage is measured in your spark plug wires at idle? Or, choose an rpm. A whole lot of things make a difference in that measurement...including what the...

    Fan clutch choice

    I understand this is more a crap shoot than not. Might as well start with some educated guesses from folks more familiar with the item than I am. I am looking to change my decades old flex fan, need to choose a clutch. Temp-controlled is a given to me, but...the regular, heavy-duty, extreme...

    Recommendations please?

    Existing parts: Edlebrock RPM Performer with Holley 4150. Intended change: Adding 1/2" phenolic spacer under carb for heat protection. I am using the OEM throttle cable bracket. It bolts into existing bolt bosses on the intake just fine. Can someone recommend a bracket that will get me a...

    Who's in, who's out?

    Considering this: A855 - 5 Speed What is the general point of view of the efficacy of the 855? I'm 'on the list'. I have always had my reservations about the meaning of that..if there is any meaning to it at all. I have the coin. I have been thinking of stirring the pot to find out...

    A(nother) ballast resistor question

    Yes, the ballast has been around the block discussed a few times. I'm sure I've not read all of the threads. Given (from Demon408 years back): and (from killer6 of the same vintage): Engine speed change will take place at the drop of a hat...or the foot. Point is, it happens quickly and...

    Is there such a thing....

    ...as a decent 4bbl gasket available these days? I got a 4-hole 1/2" phenolic 4150 spacer from Holley. The why of that is not pertinent. It came blister-packed on a Holley card with two gaskets. They seem hard and thin to me. Not that this tests anything, but putting the two of them...

    Rebuilt brake booster

    My OEM booster died recently. Time for a rebuild. I sent it to Power Brake Booster, PDX, Ore. What a difference! I've not had consistent brakes for decades. They 'went away' with the install of a 292º/.508" cam. I always figured the poor brake operation a result of that cam. Having put...

    Verification, please?

    This question 'fits' both 4-pin and 2-pin ballast setups. I understand the purpose of the 4-pin ballast, the higher resistance feeding a reduced voltage to a five pin ECU. The coil compensating side, whatever value it may be, is relevant to the question. The IG2 (start) wire feeds the coil...

    ABS headliners

    Re: '73 2-door Duster I've read a handful of threads about the subject, have not found an answer to this: Does the front glass have to come out to replace the liner? Years past, I simply assumed that was the case. I mentioned that to an interior trim kind'a guy awhile back, he said the liner...

    Steering column design

    This in regard to a '73 Plymouth Duster. I loosened the steering column to get better access to the dash panel while replacing a speedo cable. On re-assy, I have some rub/interference between the column, specifically the lock ring, and the U-shaped cover that fits around the bottom of the...

    It's magic!

    I've been running a 'blue' ignition box for a few years. Got it from the bay. I don't know what it is or where it came from. It works, the car ran fine. I have a VDO white-face tach that I am fond of. The thing started getting flaky a couple years ago. The needle would jump around at lower...
