    Aftermarket Automatic Shifter (Console Mount)

    Back in the dark ages (the 80's) I mounted a B&M Quick-click ratchet shifter in my console. It went in nicely, looked & worked great. I'd like to do something like that, but they don't make'em anymore & I don't want a crapped out old shifter. Has anyone tried to mod a factory console & install...

    License Plate Frame

    I could be wrong about this, but I don't think dealerships were doing licence plate frames back then, just metal emblems. If you really want a frame, contact Northland & explain why you'd like one. I'm sure they'd be more than glad to send you one. Here's a link...

    Dodge leaving nascar again!

    The time wnen every team built their own engines is over. The sheer cost of development has driven the small guy out of the racing game. Toyota builds all their own engines thru TRD Racing. They lease them ouit to the teams. It's all Toyota. All Ford motors come from Roush Yates Racing & they...

    Our effin' PD

    Here in Winnipeg the police & the parking patrol actively ticket &/or tow illegally parked cars. At Christmastime the only empty spots at the malls are usually the handicapped spots. What burns me are handicapped drivers parked in non handicapped spaces. LOL

    Yes, it's your car & you can do what you like. Yes, I'm sure the Fox guys were more than helpful with your other project. You're probably shocked by how many people here want to rip you a new one. What you don't seem to understand is how rare these cars are. Ford made more V8 Mustangs in 1986...

    What is the most desirable year for the Dart?

    Ignoring the now unaffordable & then unavailable to the general public, '68 HEMI Dart, I'd have to say '69. It was the only year the 440 could be ordered by Joe Mopar.

    White smoke

    In order to make white smoke with tranny fluid, it has to be poured slowly down the carb & burnt. We used to do this to clean the carbon out of the combustion chambers.

    Cheapest way to get an inch or 2...

    Oh yeah, forgot about those. Better choice than air shocks. Just remember, if you use shocks to help raise your rear end, the upper shock mounts bear more of the weight of the car than they were meant to.

    White smoke

    When you look at the viscoscity numbers on the bottle (eg. 10W30), the 10 refers to cold start. the 30 refers to running engine temperature viscoscity. . Up here in Canuckistan:toothy8: we use a 0-30w in the dead of winter because it flows at -35. If you're concerned about the high temperatures...

    273 rocker arm limits

    In the 80's I had a 13:1 comp 340 with a .585 lift cam & Crane triple valve springs. I was pulling 7800 RPM shifts using 273 rockers. I never broke a rocker. (bent many pushrods though) The only suggestion I have, is to not use the factory style adjusters,(they come loose too easily) Get a good...

    That photo was taken in the new car showroom of Midway Plymouth Chrysler in Winnipeg, Canada. Best guess as to year, 1971.
