Checked our local NAPA this morning when I was there. Muffler bearings were on the shelf right next to the red and white checkered paint.

Before the advent of mig welding, brazing with a gas welder was common .One disadvantage was that it would not withstand a whole lot of vibration so was used carefully on body panels. On another note, I knew a fellow who built a nice set of headers for a Dodge 6 cylinder using brass welding on...

Hi curious as to your source for the novel spring perches ? Seems it would prevent warping the housing from welding If they don't rotate, but a short weld should solve any problem I would guess

Have TTI downpipes on a 318 in a 75 Scamp. Passenger side was a good fit but drivers side took some modification. There are different configurations on drivers side manifolds. TTI lists different casting numbers that are supposed to work, but my casting number didn't match anything they listed...

Has anyone actually swapped in a Maverick rear end? Width is right, spring perches are in the right place. Only difference is that the pinion is centered rather than offset like a mopar. Would this create any problem with driveshaft harmonics? Any knowledgeable opinion would be welcome, thanks

Pretty sure the upholstery shop guys would use a steamer to relax the carpet and make it fit

Rare in a car ad just means that nobody wanted them even when they were new!

Saw this happen to a dodge truck once in our shop Turned out the centrifugal advance weights were stuck in the fully adanced mode. Truck would stall as soon as you pulled it in to drive. Drove the owner crazy and stumped the dealership mechanics who looked at it and said it must be because the...

Lonely Are The Brave. Stars Kirk Douglas circa 1960 My all time favorite. black and white Anyone else remember this one?

Personally I liked the one advertised as a mini supercharger. It was a carb spacer with a little propeller in it. Two propellers if you had a 2 barrel I bet a four barrel would have been awesome hey?

Know how many lawyer jokes there are? Just one. The rest are all true stories!

Devilbiss JGA siphon feed needs 14 cu ft per minute @ 60 lbs. pressure. Gravity feed HVLP I don,t know.

Bouchillon Performance makes a really good kickdown cable . Check out their website. I have one of theirs and it works great. Not too pricey either. Sorry, redundant comment. bpeusa is their website as mentioned by previous commenter

Agree that they look like Dodge pickup. Have a similar pair sitting in my shop. Came from 89 Dodge pickup with small block.

Hey! I'm pretty sure somebody's tin hat needs a new propeller.

Hood latch adjustment will pull the hood to one side or the other. Usually needs to be readjusted when you change anything else.

Later cars also come with seatbelts and more chance of having a/c if you want it. I have a 75 Scamp and I am fine with it. Looks good and gets noticed when you take it out. Fun counts way more than snob appeal in my books. When did a bodys first come out with factory seatbelts? Anybody?

Bouchillon Performance makes a really good cable kick down kit for torqueflite trannys. Have one on a 318 with edelbrock carb and 904 transmission. Easy to install, easy to adjust, and works great. Takes the hassle out of kickdown linkages! Check out their website.

Natural gas forced air furnace blowing thru a filter, but located OUTSIDE of the booth IN the warm shop area. With a window opened enough to supply combustion air and make up air for the booth exhaust. Have done this down to -20f. but wouldn't recommend it except for small parts. Warmer is better.!

Factory rocker bolts on my 360 seemed waaay too soft when I tightened them so I replaced them with grade 8's. which seems to work just fine. Torque specs in the book I had were out to lunch as well.

Check out Dantes Moparts. They have Legendary covers at about half what Legendary charges directly. I was happy with the ones I got from Dantes and they will ship USPS ,a consideration for Canadian buyers.

I have removed literally hundreds if not thousands of those pesky screws in the course of many years working in the autobody and refinishing trade. Most effective method for really badly stuck screws was to put a dull chisel bit in an air chisel and then give the side of the screw head a few...

Hey why not have it both ways! Put the Cragars on one side and rallyes on the other' I don't think anyone's done it, You could be the first! You can only see one side at a time anyway.

Been changing my oil every 5000 miles on all my vehicles for my whole life. Never a problem, and I keep my vehicles forever if I like them. Synthetic should allow even longer intervals I bet.

The seam on my 75 Scamp was spotwelded and then poorly filled with sort of a flexible bondo from the factory. Don't recall there being any lead though I'm sure there was in earlier models as that was standard going back for a long time. I did the necessary bodywork on the sail panels and then...

can you successfully delete the studs at each end and replace them with bolts? With sealer of course. Anybody doing this ?

If any of the bolts that were removed and reinstalled penetrate into the waterjacket They would require a thread sealant. Not sure about water pump bolts but I'm pretty sure some of the timing cover bolts do. Someone with better knowledge could offer a comment perhaps?

Differential has a plug to check fluid level. No need to pull cover
