I replaced the throw-out bearing, last summer but not the PP and clutch disc. The noise is constant whether the clutch is engaged or disengaged. I checked all the linkage and it is all tight. I have a feeling that I need to replace everything, I...

Great find, I have not found any gold mine yet, up here in Minnesota, I have only been here for 2 monthes. But I did find a 1963 Pontiac Catalina, from a 96 year old lady, original owner, she can't drive it any more. Interior is mint, but the body has a...

Never, had good luck with Champion plugs, tried them in all makes and engines, AC's for GM'S , Autolites for Fords, see what your car likes. Whatever happened to those Split- Fire Plugs?? They fizzled out quick!!! I put them in some cars and they barely...

I adjusted my clutch pedal travel, how much free play should have on pedal. I have it about a 1/4 inch. The other problem is this tingling rattle, coming from the clutch, it sounds like the springs on the pressure plate. I checked them and they...

It is all good guys , I got the new the starter for 25 bucks... It had a lot of dust on the box... I still think there is a problem with old style battery, it was dead again. The Orangedust cranks rite over and starts, with a...

You all got home safe and sound that's the main thing. I hope you made the best of the last 50 miles in the Duster, as pleasurable as possible, goose the gas every so often with 4-30 gears, and 4 people .. That's fun........

Good news and bad news, the battery is fine ..... I could not start it the other day at the gas station, no matter what kind of battery, I threw at it . The good news is it was not an original starter in the Orangedust , it was a...

I am getting between 15 and 17 when it is running. When I had the car in California, I had it in a heated under ground garage and sometimes I would not drive it for weeks. It would fire right up, after all that time of sitting. I am going to try...

I drove around in Orangedust today, and I am having a hard time figuring out this start-up problem. I have a remake Mopar yellow-cap battery, and it is holding 12 volts, I get a good initial start in the morning, but when I shut it off .... and try to re-start her it gives me...

Guys, & gals , I have arrived to the great white North..... from the so called, whatever of the southern half o California. Love it to death,, but .......I sound, like OzzY Osbourne, I, ...I.............I,.........................I..............I. Play the song...

I went last year as a spectator, I had a ball !!!! Drag racing down the track pretty much all day, excellent car show. It was my first time at the Vegas track. I liked it better than Fontana & Pomona. The only thing I did'nt like was you pay for 1 day or...

Back in '88, I had my '69 Road Runner 383, 4spd. Dana rear end, and your mild hi-perf. parts from Super Shops. Holley carb, Mallory ignition, pretty much anything I caN afford from Sup. Shops. Anyhow, this guy a lot older than me is a well known gear head, a...

Thanks for clearing that up !! That makes a whole lot more sense. Although I did see an episode, I think the guy with SS Monte Carlo, it was his personal car and he only had about 2 or 3 guys with him. Forking out hard earned money and maybe lose the ride, just to...

I watched a re-run last night for a few minutes, another thing that puzzles me is, Why is there 20 crew members per team??? Its not like they are a Funny Car or Top Fuel team. I am at the track twice a month, one buddy has a 9 second Duster, another a hi 10 '68...

Our cars are out there, but I think the cream puff deals are gone. You can thank the televised B&J Auctions that are on T.V. Don't get me wrong I love watching the auctions, but your non-car buff flips through the channels, catches a glimpse of how much...

What I can't figure out is some of these guys let someone else, race there car!!! What is up with that !!! I would'nt let anyone race my ten-speed bike , let alone one of my cars for ownership. I watch it but not one of my favorites.

Thanks for the info. I don't want it on the car, but if it came with it I would put it back on. As for creature comforts, its got a heater and AM radio. Thanks again,

Once I get settled after I move from Calif. to Minnesota, a friend of mine in Chicago said I can have this car, I just got to pick it up. Its 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe. Its a 360 car with buckets and a console. I haven't seen the car in...

Guys, my 70 Duster 340 has the original flat hood, under the hood, there is no underlayment padding, it looks nasty and I want to have under the hood painted car color. I can't tell for sure if there ever was padding before. I think there was...

When I was a senior in high school my brothers friend had a 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds #78 that he was selling for 2500 bucks!!! I took a ride in it a couple times, I would have been the "Big Man on Campus", if I could have afforded that car, it was really...

I hardly ever do little stop lite blasts, I just shake my head at some of these people, that put exhaust systems , and a cold air kit and think they just added 100 horses. I'm not a big believer in bolt- on parts, why waste all the money, buy 1 thing...

I had a call back at one of my buildings, last night around 10pm. On my way home, an '05 Mustang kept driving like a hot dog, down El Cajon Blvd. He was a young guy and with his girlfriend. I'm thinking I gotta embarass this ying-yang in front of his lady...

I've found that calling the police is a big waste of time, when they stole my truck last month, I found it 7 hours later before the PD even had it in there computer system. It takes that long to punch a stolen vehicle in a computer. What a joke...

I recovered my buckets in my 70, they came out pretty good being this was the first time I attempted re-upholstering. I did not change the foam padding, so I have to do them again eventually, just drivers anyway, passenger foam was good. Also...

There's at least one blerb a month in some of the Mopar magazines. This word thing is ***-nine. My brother and I even have a '79 Corvette in the corral. Had it for years from an inheritance, its bone stock I take it out once in a while, it is...

Have most of us out there getting really tired of hearing, Bloomington Gold certification crying and whining about using the term "SURVIVOR". They claim to have a patent write to only use the word to describe a vintage Corvette. What kind of crap is...

I drove up to Minnesota 2 weeks ago, to bring up some of my worldly possesions. I drove 2300 miles in 46 hours. 1400 the first 24 hrs, pulled over before I crashed, and drove 900 the next. Back to the GTX, I did speak with the guys mother who...

I heard my 340 orangedust running last week for the first time since I moved it to Minnesota last year. I had a mopar guru, install 2 1/2 inch Raven mufflers, with same diameter tailpipes, straight out the back. It sounds great and I still kept the...

Not a big fan of the show either, but I still watch it also. I just can't deal with the sand bagging crap. I have never done that racing any one in any of my cars. I also heard from some people on that show that it is all fake and no one loses...

Delayed my journey up north to Minnesota, for 2 more weeks. I not going to drive my truck and trailer through blizzards with my 442 on the back. Orangedust is already there in a heated building. I'll keep you all posted when I check it out, I'm only going up there for a few days to drop...
