    car show in portsmouth nh

    How did the show go last year, and, are you doing another show this year? I'm still interested, but am in a walking cast after foot surgery. Let me know if I can help. Bethany church in Greenland has been a good car show for the last couple of years. They do it in early summer. Food, prizes, etc

    Woodstock - Who Was There? Who Wishes They Had Been There?

    I went to boot camp that weekend. I flew from Boston to Great Lakes Naval Training center right over the whole thing. Missed one helluva concert and a lot of my favorite artists. Guess that makes me 65!

    New member: Florida 1970 Plymouth Duster 340

    Nice score on the Duster! Welcome to the site! Had a brand new Duster 340 in '70 (loved it) but now I have a '67 383 Dart. Would like a Duster again some day, it would go 138 with a 3.23 diff and E70-14's. Crazy. Just Plum Crazy

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    On second cup up here in NH! Been laid up for 2+ wks. after foot surgery. Can't work on my Dart, so I'm getting a little squirrely. This site is the best of everything and I am so glad I joined when I got my Dart over a year ago. The (TV) politics is getting old, but I never tire of the...

    Complete 2.45 open diff. rear except for brake back plates. Was in my '67 Dart, but came from a '72 Dart w/318. performed perfectly, but was a cruising gear and my 383 Dart needed a 3.55 SG. Axles are 4.5 inch bolt pattern. I'm located in S. E. NH $300.

    New here with my first Mopar

    Very nice! I'm sure we'll meet up at Hot Rod City or Skip's one of these weekends. Had a 340 Duster and was very impressed with the 340. Bet yours is quicker with the 3.55 SG. See you at the shows.

    First mopar

    Congrats and welcome! Got my Dart 10 months ago after 42 years without a Mopar. My 3.55 8 1/4 SG rear provides great launch, but highway travel is kinda revvy. What size rear tires are those? There's a lot of good advice on this site. Rest assured, you landed on the best site and you landed a...

    Performance /cruising gear ratio?

    The 3.55's I put in my 383 Dart are a little too revvy (3000 rpm @ 60 mph), but I have 14" wheels that are 25.5 inches tall. The Dart comes out of the hole like gangbusters, but I think I'd be redlined at the 1320' mark. I'm gonna go to a 15" wheel about 28-29" tall. I think you would like the...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Going to see "Norman" at the storage unit. Will start him up and maybe drive around a little if the roads are clean & dry. Check his vitals. "Rotate" (ahem) the rear tires to eliminate flat spots from sitting. Put him in storage a week ago, just before our first winter storm on the NH seacoast.

    New Ebay/PayPal Scam???

    you have no recourse if you get ripped off and don't go through EBay/PayPal. Asking you to do that is like feeling you out to see if you are trusting or naive. DON'T DO IT!

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Enjoyed another "Last ride of the year" today up the NH seacoast. Always get buzzed by the rumbling drone at 2000 RPM that my 383 a-body produces. A couple of minor launches to up the excitement factor, and then back to Nirvana. A real pretty drive on a clear day. Couldn't believe it was...

    Another Fun with Fords meme... Thank CudaChick

    Driver Returns On Foot Now they give you a free puppy with a new Ford. So you have somebody to walk home with. I have a Ford car cover for my '67 383 Dart GT. Best anti-theft device in the world. I'm done. With Ford. My '05 Lariat Super Crew drove me nuts. Broken plugs. Failed injectors...

    What are you listening to ?

    Trans Siberian Orchestra saw TSO last night in TD Garden, Boston. Sensory overload, what a show. See it if you get a chance! Very season appropriate. https://youtu.be/X0vMtkUXLr4

    sound deadener

    What a great thread! Just found it. I was thinking about the best way to change the natural resonant frequency that my Dart goes into at a certain RPM. The resonance seems to occur in the trunk area that gets "excited" at roughly 2K +/- RPM. Above and below that, it's not too bad and almost goes...

    Tips for starting engine on the ground

    I did a similar thing when I was 16 (1967- same year my current Dart GT383 was built) using wood, a garden hose, a battery, and a gas can. It was a '64 283 CHEV complete with a full new walker dual exhaust hooked to it with Thrush mufflers. Put it in a '61 Impala. Almost flipped it over when I...

    Belt squealing on startup

    Your alternator is trying to get the voltage back up/put the amps back in that you took out when you cranked that beast. Belts get glazed and get less "grippy". CAREFULLY use some sandpaper to lightly break the glaze on your belt. Again, be careful. Or, just get used to a beast that screams a...

    Street Gear Poll

    Just for "whatevers"- calculated my tire diameter/gear combo and came up with this: my 3.55's SG w/25" tire diameter (with 14" rims) equals 3.55 (DUH) my 3.55's w/26" tire diameter would become like I installed 3.41's my 3.55's w/27" tire diameter would become like I installed 3.27's my...
