    What is this front end metal piece above bumper called? '72 Scamp

    According to the 1971 body service manual, it is called the “lower grill panel”. Should be the same for 72.

    OBDII scanner / software reasonable priced?

    Out of curiosity, how do you know the PCM is the problem? My 2000 5.9 does the same thing and would like to correct.

    PowerSteering Woes

    This might sound stupid but, your not putting too much fluid in it are you? It does naturally expand when hot and too much could force it out the cap. Just a thought.

    PowerSteering Woes

    I disagree with the sucking air from the high pressure side theory. Remember that the pump pushes into the hp hose and sucks from the l.p. hose. If you have an air leak it would more likely be in the low pressure hose. Also, a leak in the hp hose would squirt out of that hole like a fountain.

    Craigslist scammer targeting my son...

    The first time this happened to me, the scammer either never sent the check, or sent it to the wrong place. Then they were pestering me for their refund. I finally got tired of the game and told them that if I ever received their check, I would take it directly to the F. B. I. I never was...

    What does this clutch switch do?

    Here is a picture of a clutch safety switch from a 71 b body. It basically creates a ground when the clutch is depressed allowing the starter relay to activate. If you have a manual shift car from pre-1970, you don't need it. However, if you are converting from an automatic you will either...

    proper disposal of a flag

    If you want to properly dispose of it. First, you cut out the star field of the flag. Doing this changes it from being a flag to simply being two pieces of cloth. Then burn the two pieces. This is the way the Boy Scout troop my son was in did it for the flag retirement ceremony.

    I have two FSMs for Plymouth cars, one for 1968 and one for 1971. Neither of these references lists any specific bolt locations, only how the multiple layers are to be stacked when installed. Sorry I couldn`t help more.

    Miles/gallon: Newer vs Older Cars

    Let us not forget about weight. All of the newer cars have a lot more plastic in them compared to the vintage one's we all love. Along with other point mentioned really does help the fuel economy.

    clutch not disengaging..........argh.........

    When I first started up my car the clutch acted very much the same except I could start it in gear and hold it still with the brake. My problem was a lack of grease in the pilot bearing and resevoir. The major problem is that you will have to pull the trans. Just double check everything...

    67 Barracuda fender on 68 Barracuda?

    Also the script markers are in the rear location on the 68. (Behind the wheelwell.) . I would use the old fender to mark and modify the 67 one. You will need to fill the forward script holes as well.

    acceleration

    I agree, a rear end gear change is the best way. If the gears are changing too early, you can adjust that with the throttle linkage but it probably won't help with your issue.

    High rpm at 60?

    what type of tach is in your car? Factory or aftermarket? I know that many years ago I had an aftermarket one on my 68 Barracuda and that it had a switch it something which could be changed from 4 to 6 to 8 cylinders. If yours is similar, make sure the setting is right.

    Manual steering to power

    I did the swap quite a few years ago. I think you on track. Pump w/bracketts, p.s gear box anf the shaft will need to be the shorter one for the p.s. I don't think I had to do anything else. The hard part is the install!

    A999/999 4x4 transmission

    I believe the 999 is a lock up trans. If you go to jeepforum.com and go the the transmission review area, you can get some idea if it is the way you want to go.
