    ‘71 Demon at Mecum $70K lower estimate

    Great. Another keyboard tough guy. Obviously you do care - since you felt a need to reply. What you posted was not feedback - it's your ignorant opinion - which no one asked for. Further, no one cares that you're jealous and can't afford cars in that price range and you feel compelled to try...

    ‘71 Demon at Mecum $70K lower estimate

    Lighten up and try not to knock someone else's ride. Your jealousy is showing. The car sold for $88,000. I guess that shows how much your opinion matters. I really get tired of people knocking cars that are for sale. Obviously, the seller knows today's market much, much better than you. If...

    How much did a gallon of gas cost when you first started driving?

    26 9/10. My dad ran an Enco gas station back in the 60s and as a kid I remember one of my (many) tasks was changing the sign's numbers from 27 9/10 to 26 9/10 on the weekends. Years later, I asked my dad why we'd lower it a penny every weekend and he told me the other gas station (Shell)...

    [WANTED] Brake / Stop light switch bracket 71 Demon

    I'm looking for the bracket that holds the stop / brake light switch. I need it for my 71 Demon - I believe the brackets used on Darts are the same design. From what I've seen for sale on eBay the brake switch brackets used on Plymouth Dusters are different. Please PM a photo and price -...

    Help! Column dropped - now only starts in neutral!

    Well, just finished and it worked perfectly. Drove the car up my race ramps and adjusted the slide adjuster following the instructions in the manual - easy peasey. Car started right up in Park just as it should. I thought there was something wrong with the electrical system since it...

    Help! Column dropped - now only starts in neutral!

    Thanks for the information - I'll give it a try later today. I also found out why I couldn't find information in the service manual - it is not referred to as a neutral safety switch. It's called a neutral starting switch. That's why my searches kept coming back with nothing. :violent1...

    Help! Column dropped - now only starts in neutral!

    71 Dodge Demon Need a little help here - I dropped the column to do some work on the dash (put in a voltmeter ) and everything went well. However, when I went to start the car, it now only starts in neutral. I've searched the forum and believe I must have changed something (shift...

    Ammeter to Voltmeter...who does it?

    I was wondering the same thing - what to do with the factory amp gauge wires?

    1971 Dash / Gauge Cluster Removal

    I'm almost in the same situation - thanks to a driver who was texting and t-boned my car, I now have 2 metal rods and a metal cage fused to my spine in my neck. Boy, oh boy, I'm not looking forward to trying to take the dash out since it looks like I'll have to take the seats out and be...

    1971 Dash / Gauge Cluster Removal

    I could really use some help... The car is a 71 Demon with a rallye dash. Really bizarre thing just happened. I was taking my car out for a short spin and while I was driving the round lens that covers the ammeter/temp/gas/oil moved forward and appeared to touch at the center of the...

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    No doubt there are some repop parts that are inferior to OEM parts. But the opposite is true too- there are repop parts that are superior to OEM - especially electrical parts. My idle solenoid works perfectly. You know, sometimes I wonder if "comparison" articles aren't written by...

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but... The idle solenoids are repopped and run around $100 brand new. The chokes a re repopped also. I just bought a solenoid about 3 months ago. It is a really, really close match to the original and it actually works properly. IMO, anyone that would...

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    Good advice - and it makes sense. I'm not after the 100 point resto - so I'll order the open 1/4" insulating gasket. If I remember properly, I think it's Fel-Pro 1908. Thanks again for the advice. :prayer:

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    I found the aluminum and phenolic style spacers at a couple of the major supply chains. Regarding the above gaskets, the Fel-Pro 1905 (4-hole gasket pictured above) is 1/4" thick and is sold as a heat insulating gasket. I have one of those lying around so I may give it a try. But before...

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    Forgot to ask - why wouldn't you go directly on the manifold?

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    Thanks for all of the excellent responses - looks like I've got a problem... I do not have an aluminum spacer. When I bought the car it had an Edelbrock carb on the stock manifold (using a carb adapter.) One good thing was the seller gave me the correct 71 t-quad carb, but one bad thing -...

    Help! Thermoquad gasket 71 340 - which one?

    A little help here from the experts - which gasket is correct OEM for mounting the thermoquad on a '71 340? If either gasket can be used, which is best and why? Car has the stock Mopar manifold #3512100. As always - any help is appreciated. Thanks. :cheers:

    bumper gaurds

    You might not want to put away the drill quite yet... I'm not sure about 72's, but the mounting you described is not how bumper guards were placed on 71 Demons. If you look at an original 71 Dodge catalog you'll see a clear picture of a Demon and the guards do not use the inner bumper bolt...

    I'm about to give up driving at night!

    Well my wife was able to get out one of the dash bulbs - but, I guess I've got other issues. The filament in the bulb she removed looked good and when I tested it outside of the dash it worked. Even though I only have one working bulb which is located behind the tach, at least I know that's...

    Rallye Dash Lights - 71 Demon HELP!!!

    I could really use some help with this... After removing the driver's seat and getting my better half to look under the dash there is absolutely no way for me (us) to reach the sockets to change the dash bulbs. I only have one bulb that works and it's the one for the tach. Couple of...

    I'm about to give up driving at night!

    I'm down to one working dash light bulb in my 71 Demon and don't know what to do. After a recent car show that ended in the evening I couldn't see a darn thing on the dash. I have no idea how to get at the bulbs to replace them. Granted my motion is somewhat limited (I was in a car...

    Furlough Fridays!!!!!

    Pretty sad situation - and getting worse. Uncle Sam seems to always have enough money to support foreign governments but can't even support its own. I just read how we are spending 100's of millions to train police departments in foreign countries - then I read about what's going on with...

    VIN, chassis, radiator support and fender tags

    Thanks again! Another "mystery" solved by FABO - and man, that was quick!! Even though the examples in the link above were from the Hamtramck plant, on page 3 there's another example of the stamped number being one digit off. Human error explains it... you know I was thinking it was pretty...

    VIN, chassis, radiator support and fender tags

    Just wonderin.... I have now seen two different 71 A-body cars that have the same type of issue - the radiator stamping and fender tag vary by one digit. Has anyone else come across this? I recently looked at a 71 Demon that has a radiator vin and rear package tray number that match but both...

    dumbest excuse someone gave you for not buying part/ car from you?

    Of course SELLERS have to put a price on their parts - it's THEIR parts!. Asking a buyer to put a value on something someone else owns is just plain stupid. When a person posts a want ad and specifically asks for sellers to respond with a picture and a PRICE - that's what the buyer is asking...

    Lower Steering Column Trim 71 Demon

    No hot-head here. Get the story straight – geez, all this because you can't read a simple ad. Re-read the ad – it’s pretty basic. Person looking for a part, showed a picture of it for further clarification and asked any sellers for a pic and a price. You email me saying you have a box of...
