I am trying to clean out my very small two car garage to make room for all the stuff I have. I came across the stereo that was in my old Intrepid that I have since sold. I hate to throw anything away so I thought that I would ask here and see if anyone wants it. It is the basic model with the...

Wasn't sure if I should post this in the electrical section cause unfortunately it is not a MOPAR that I am working on, I had to take what I could get though. I'm having electrical problems with my rig. It keeps blowing the parking light fuse so I end up with no tail lights, no markers and...

I'm changing out my front brakes. I have everything finished except the passenger side hub is stuck in the old drum. I bought new drums so I don't care if nything happens to the drum, I put PB Blaster on it overnight and I've beat the crap out of it with a deadblow hammer and it won't budge...

I currently have drum brakes all the way around on my Dart, my buddies keep telling me I need to switch over to disc at least on the front. To keep the cost down I was hoping to change over to SBP discs so I can keep the same wheels and tires. My question is, what is my total cost going to be...

I'm having trouble getting my light switch out of my 69 Dart. Is there a trick on getting the plunger out of the switch so you can drop it into the dash and get it out that way? Or what am I over looking here. It would help a little bit if I was a contortionist and my arms and hands were...

I recently bought some head rests for my car. I was wondering if anyone knew if you can remove the existing ones without taking the seat back apart? They have three notches in the posts that go into the seat, two of the notches are pie or wedge shaped and the last or lowest notch is angled on...

I should have posted this a few months ago and then bumped it with reminders... but I didn't. Just wanted to let all the Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma people here on FABO that the Colorado Mopar Car Show is this Saturday at the Southglenn Mall, University Blvd...

Jacqueline and her husband Mark went for counseling after 25 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, Jacqueline went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy...

Cleaning out my basement (cellar for you east coast guys) and I came upon my stash of old Stock Car Racing Magazines, I hate to throw anything away so if you are interested in them let me know and they are yours. I will ship them if you pay the charges on them. They are from the early 90s and...

Tonight is the official start of the Golden Super Cruise nights, is anyone planning on going? I was thinking about going if it doesn't look like it is going to snow or rain tonight. The high temp today is only supposed to be 53 and the forecast is saying rain but it's sunny right now? I'll be...

I would like to buy a wood grain steering wheel horn pad, and adapter. I'm looking for a black one but will consider any color if the price is good. You can reach me by a PM. Thanks, Rich

I bought two steering wheels from davescuda a few weeks ago. He was a great guy to deal with, excellent communication, he responded to every PM same day, fast shipping (it can never be fast enough though when you're waiting for a new toy), and a great price. Very happy with what I got. Now I...

This is more of a local post than a regional post but I just wanted to let as many people know as I can my brother's band and the local shows they are having. My brother’s band is playing at Herman’s Hideaway next Saturday Feb 27th. Herman’s address is 1578 South Broadway Denver, CO 80210...

I was hoping to get some information from FABO members that are also members of local car clubs. What I’m hoping to find out is what makes your local club a good thing to belong to or why do you think it is important for you to belong to your club? Is it that you like going to meetings and...

I did a search on this and couldn’t find any posts about it. I’m sure this fix is nothing ground breaking and won’t be something that needs to be shown to everyone but I thought I would post it anyway, in hopes that it might help someone out. I used a soda can as a shim for mine and it worked...

I saw these a few years ago in the bar at the hockey rink where my buddies and I play old man hockey. I liked them so I made a few. When our team won the championship a made a few more for friends that wanted them. One of my friends said that they were so nice I should sell them, so I'm taking...

After my club's car show a few weeks ago when I was putting my car in the garage I noticed that it really started to bog down. I didn't really think much about it because I was going up a slight hill in reverse and keeping my speed down (4 speed car) I thought that it was just a little loaded...

While cleaning a shelf in the garage I found a set of 8.5mm spark plug wires that were for a Ford Bronco that I used to own. I needed only the coil wire for a fix on the Bronco so I was wondering if I could use the 8.5mm wires on my Dart. The Dart is a 340 with electronic ignition, and...

I was going to post this in the Fuel and Air Systems but thought it was more of a general question. Anyway, last night our car club went to a Senior Citizen Housing complex to show the residents our cars and I was talking to one of the a-body guys in our club. We were looking at my car and I...

Hey guys and gals, I know there has been a lot of stress on the system here but my family needs the POWER of FABO... I need some good strong thoughts and good karma sent out to my grandmother in Connecticut. She is in the hospital now with some stomach problems. The stomach problems have...

I am having a fuel problem that I have posted about but I didn't just want to add to that post for fear that someone would by pass it since they might have already looked at the thread. I pulled one of my spark plugs to see if I was running too rich?? From the looks of this plug I was...

Many moons ago I removed all the black paint off the top of my radiator, my buddy and I desided that it was a cool and almost free upgrade. Years later I ended up having to get some work done on it and the shop I took it to repainted it black, it has been black ever since. I was in the garage...

If it's not one thing its another, two weeks ago I replaced my manual steering box, the day after I replaced it I took the car for a test drive and noticed that I had a leaking fuel pump. I replaced the pump this weekend, I was having a little trouble with my old fuel line, so I decided to...

What Darts did this finish panel come on? Was it the 270 or a Custom? Just curious, I really want to get a GT or GTS style finish panel and put it on my Dart. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150298821530&ih=005&sspagename=WDVW&category=34284&viewitem=...

I know that there are no forums / message boards that are better then FABO but I was wondering if anyone here knew of a good board for Dodge Dakota trucks? My dad is having a power steering leak problem and wanted to know if it was a common problem with them? Let me know what you all think...

I'm currently in Euless TX. visiting family. Are there any FABO members here that know of any good pick and pull yards in the area? Or is there anything Mopar related that I shouldn't miss while I'm here. Just wondering? Thanks P.S. I saw a nice looking Duster driving west bound on 183...

Trying to change out the rear drum pads and maybe get new rotors. I am having a terrible time trying to find the self adjusting lever so I can take the pressure off the drums so I can get them off the car. Is there any tricks that anyone knows or special tools I should have to get this job...

I'm looking for a little help on something. I went and looked at a 69 Barracuda Notchback the other day and I thought I would ask what you all though of it. I took a ton of pictures of the car but these will give you an idea of the general condition of the car. The car has been off the road...

I'm dying to have this style steering wheel on my Dart. Anyone know if this one is going to cause problems for me. Just looking at the pictures the dish looks a little too deep. I think the dish on my stock wheel is 4", that is measuring from the lowest part of the plastic to the middle of...

I was looking at my profile and I noticed this "Referrals:0" What is this for and is it good to have no referrals or is it good to have many referrals. I work/volunteer at my kids elementary school and there if you get a referral it is a trip to see the pricipal and that is not a good thing...
