Outcome, in case anyone is interested: 9 inch drum brakes do not use the pushrods. The wheel cylinder pushes directly on the shoe. Hard to believe I've never encountered 9 inch brakes on a Mopar until now. Oh well, you learn something new every day, as they say. My lesson: Don't just rely on the...

I just found them at Jim's Auto Parts, p/n SP 840, $34.95 ea. Really? Really? I guess I may have to try the ones without the collar shape for $3 each. Looks like that just keeps the rod from falling out of the wheel cylinder cup when you remove the brakes.

Yeah, the ones with the groove - like in the first pic - are all I have ever encountered on the many 67-72 Mopars I've been playing with over the years.

Yeah, I've pretty much searched everywhere. I found 3 in my parts stash but still need 5 more. Here is what everyone seems to be selling. I don't believe those will work. Anyway, not what I want.

Does anybody know where to purchase these? Yearone is the only place I have found that had these but they were discontinued. All I have been able to find are the pushrods that are smooth on the end and don't have the little collar shape. I just purchased a 70 Dart and some goof installed the...

I appreciate the feedback guys.

Oh so true. I guess that's a given :)

Thought I'd post this on both FABO & FBBO. Hello Mopar Compadres! I am hoping to get some help determining what my car might be worth in today's market. This car has been stored a long time and I recently got it back on the road. I WAS thinking of selling it and put it on eBay a few weeks...

Sorry to hear about that neighbor. I had that happen to me more than once when I lived in California. It really feels like being violated.

Welcome Bob. Are you looking for a project or a finished car?

I used a combination of Nordskog and Dakota Digital instruments. It's been quite a while since I built this, but I believe the speedo is a Nordskog. They used to make a universal kit that had all of the gauges as just separate circuit boards. I'm not a fan of the LED "sweeps" they used because...

He's referring to the dash I fabricated. Pics are earlier in this thread.

I'm going to bump this for you because I have the exact same issue on a 440. Please let us know if/when you find out what the problem is.

YES! He got a very nice car. BTW, I still have THIS very nice car for sale: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=106834 :-)

Sorry, it's been sold.

This is a VERY NICE, straight, almost rust-free project car. It needs minimal restoration work. The car is complete except for a few minor items. The engine is not the original but is correct date code. The engine will probably need rebuilt. It runs but will not continue running, and has not...

I don't know your specifics, but a couple of possibilities to check: Distributor 180° out (doubt it would even start), or Intermediate shaft that turns distributor is one tooth off.

***Car has been sold to another FABO member*** 1968 Dart GT * Absolutely RUST-FREE Calif car This was being built as a drag car when I purchased it in 2003. I have made it into a very clean driver/cruiser/local show car. Very nice running 318 w/ Edelbrock 4 bbl, New shorty headers & new...

Thanks, yes I put it together. I have a tach w/ sweep but it wouldn't fit in that space.

I forgot to mention...It gets expensive FAST, even without adding labor or profit to the equation.

Interesting. Always liked digital gauges. I played around with this idea a few years ago. [/IMG]

Thanks for the positive replies guys. Yes, I can understand someone saying "it's not my cup of tea" but some people just get really infuriated. I wasn't really ready for that. I agree with Goldfish. I think our culture has changed. Somebody commented online somewhere about my car that he...

Hey guys! I'm the one that built the electric Duster. Yeah, I'm still a member here - used to be ABodySickness. I don't post too much but I still read a lot here. Just thought I'd check in to see if people were talking about me and found a couple of threads. lol. To answer some questions...

Yep, sorry about that.

Thanks, I saw that pad on the 340 but it was painted over and looked blank. I will get out the scraper.

Well, I thought I knew how to find the VIN stamp on a small block but I guess I don't. I have a 318 in a car and a 340 sitting in my shop and I can't find it on either of them. Can someone please describe, or post a picture of where the VIN is located on a 71 and 72 small block? Thanks...

Thanks. Just a little "custom" touch to make it unique.

If anyone is looking for a really nice, rust-free A-body, I am selling my pride and joy. I have a "no reserve" auction going on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190366108613&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT [/IMG]

Welcome from Owasso, OK! There are quite a few Oklahoma members on here. I have taken quite a few Tulsa Tech classes over the years - auto painting, body work, welding, several electronics classes, and am now taking a machine shop class. Tulsa Tech seems to have first rate equipment and top...

My thoughts exactly. Can't help but read 'em though :)
