    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    Have u always used that high flow water pump on all the engines? I've heard that pushing too much water too quickly thru the rad does not allow it to cool enough.

    Is a 5.2 Magnum worth it?

    So at work I have the opportunity to take whatever I want out of a running 2000 ram van 2500. It's a 318, unfortunately NOT a 360. However it has a 2 wheel drive o/d trans and I can strip anything else I want from it cuz it's getting scrapped! Is it worth pulling the engine, trans, harness, PCM...

    Help please - rebuilding original AC car w/o AC

    I wouldn't see why not. It would be the same as having a complete system without a charged AC or the compressor doesn't run for some other reason. The heat would still work in all its settings. Others may correct me if I'm wrong. Although I would block the evaporator holes in the firewall, u may...

    Lifter movement

    Yes, assuming they're not roller lifters. The spinning assures even wear.

    Temp Too Low???

    Sounds like u have a 160 thermostat in it, that would be why ur running so cold. That's what my dart had when I got it. I put in a 180. And yes, a little more heat will keep things cleaner, burn fuel better, keep combustion camber cleaner, burn impurities out of the oil, ect.

    electrical help required

    OK, so when u turn the key on, if u don't see the throttle body power up u know it won't start? If it does power up, it will start? If so, I would key it on, if it doesn't power on, start wiggling the harness, especially the connectors and see if something makes the throttle body kick on. Also I...

    electrical help required

    OK, so question 1, are the computers new from hotwire or is hotwire just sending you used computers? 2, have u tried calling hotwires tech support line? Getting 3 different problems with 3 different computers seems like a computer issue, although I have seen modules swapped out and have...

    The skinnies I was running are 165/80r15. I believe it's actually a Volkswagen Bug tire size.

    727 having a few issues

    Nice response AJ, well handled! So ya Kiss, I think it would be best to focus on one issue at a time here. AJ brought up a good point about the brakes possibly causing that shudder. I would confirm that issue first then focus on proper TV line adjustment, I personally have a manual valve body...

    M/T Radiators cost more than A/T?

    I think it's all about supply and demand, auto is more popular and therefore more available and therefore cheaper.

    Anybody running 18" Bullitt rims on an A Body?

    Not Mopar But A Brake Question

    It could be a faulty flex hose to that caliper. Were the slides replaced as well, the slides could also be sticking. What I usually do is with the wheels off the ground, stand on the pedal, then release and try and spin the wheels by hand, likely the one is hard to spin. Then crack the bleeder...

    Will this mini starter work?

    Yes it should. It's the same starter as the v8. I'm running one in my 440. the only thing I had to do was remove the adapter on the starter (if it has one). It relocates the battery cable and it interfered with block or the headers, I forget which one. But it comes right off.

    Negative pressure supercharging

    I do like the cartoon drawing of the ram intake manifold they are trying to sell you! Also, if u do want to order anything u have to fax in a filled out form or call in the order. I'm sure the order form consists of filling in your bank account info and that's it!

    RVB Auto vs 4 Speed

    Well, IMO, 4 speeds are cooler! They're more fun to cruise around in and screw around in doing burn out and such. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe most people will agree, autos tend to be faster at the track (less margin for error when shifting, and shift quicker). So it's kind of...

    Pitting chrome, how to repaint

    U may want to try filler primer spray paint. That's what I used on my rims. Scuff it up, put a few coats of filler primer on, let it dry, sand it till u start seeing the chrome again, put a few more coats, sand again, and keep at it till the pits are filled in and sanded out. Then do a few more...

    Swapping pigs

    Thanks so much for that link! It was super informative! I think everyone on this forum should read it, it adds a lot of clarity to the argument of which is better, tapered bearings or green bearings. I now understand why so many people hate them and say they had multiple failures with them, and...

    O/D A/T behind a 440??

    O/D A/T behind a 440??

    So hypothetically, if I were to put an overdrive transmission behind my 440,(69 Dart btw) what options do I have? And BESIDES THE CUTTING OF THE TRANS TUNNEL SUPPORT, how hard would this be to make work ie; do they make manual valve bodies or would I have to run a kick down or vacuum or what...

    Here is a new look for me! Tell me what u think.

    The rear are 235/55 r17(the stock tires for an 08 mustang and came with the wheels) the front are 225/50 r17(take offs from a co-workers wife's maxima) I would definitely go wider in the rear if it was in my budget!

    Here is a new look for me! Tell me what u think.

    Hey hey, take it easy. Besides the fact that most people think they are a torque thrust or something, I used generic center caps. It's not time I put a Ford engine in it.
