Hi all, I bought a 904 lock up transmission a few years ago and I can't seem to identify it or how to effectively identify it (i.e. what car it's from / year made etc.) . I looked in the typical spot on the driver side above the pan and the location where it should be is obvious but no numbers...

Hi all, I picked up a 318-3 for free yesterday and was told it came out of a pickup. The first picture is of the casting and it's a 78 casted block. It has 4027593 heads but I noticed that the intake had an extra nipple to it for, I'm guessing, to heat up the carb. Would these be those odd...

Hi, I'm looking for some info on the rear Vinyl Trim removal. I did a search but not a whole lot shows up. Maybe I didn't type the right keywords in?? I understand how the drip rail and front/rear glass works but I just can't wrap my head around the vinyl trim. I understand there are clips and...

I have a 318 I picked up (disassembled) and it didn't have push Rods but i have J heads I just picked up and the seller gave me these rods for nothing. I attached a picture of one of them. The length is correct. Would these work or are the ball end style more appropriate? Thanks for the help :)

Looking for a 2406782 cast number connecting rod for a 318. Thanks

Looking for some conversion mounts to go from a Slant six k frame to 318. Thanks

Hi all, I have a A999 lock up transmission I just picked up and I did a search to find out what i that would need to change and be aware about when changing from my original 904 in my 72 Scamp . There's not a whole lot different but i know i would need a 1968+ crank for the converter. I think i...

Hi, I'm thinking of running the gen3 hemi with a carb and might go the MSD6 route, but I'm curious about something. Has anyone ran a carbed hemi with a modified stock wire harness and stock ECU? Thanks

Hi have a Jeep Cherokee KL and i am having an issue I've never had before and looking for some input. On the Cherokee forum no one responded :( so i decided to post here since this community seems to be way better at responding. The problem is when the breaks seem to get warm, I hear this...

Hi, I have spindles and everything from a 78 diplomat to swap into my scamp. I was wondering if 14" vectors wheels will fit over them? Thanks

Hi, I tried Google and a site search for this but maybe someone can point the way. Has anyone modified fiberglass fenders with the surface mounted marker lights to be flush like the 1970/71 lights on the dusters and scamps? And how about do you go about doing it? Thanks

Hi, I've been doing research into changing the front drums on my Scamp and i know you can use a swedge tool or quality hole saw to cut the swedge on the drum. This is where i lose track of what happens, maybe I'm over thinking it. After the drum is cut and the hub removed, can I just go and buy...

Hi, I pan on starting body work soon on my 71 Scamp and I have questions about prepping the metal. I've never done this before so it is a learning experience. My C pillars are solid but rusty due to being an old vinyl top. I will do my best to remove rust from this area and the roof. I'm worried...

Hey, I had a post about fuel pumps, thinking that was my issue, but the pump pumps well. I took the carb off and cleaned it out, rebuilding it with a Walker kit. Put fresh gas in the tank, crank it until the new stuff was in the filter and connected it all back up. Started up great. No issues at...

Hi, Looking for stainless steel windshield trim for a valiant scamp or dart swinger shipped to Ontario canada. Thanks

Hi, So I'm considering a Gen 3 hemi swap, which requires a manual steering box, I have the power one. Not a big deal for me. I know there are 2 sizes of output shafts on the steering gear, switching in 73. I have a 71 scamp with power steering. My pitman arm, according to Moog (MOOG Suspension...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could tell me what the line from the back of fuel pump to the carb is for? I'm assuming vacuum but for what purpose? and if I get a new pump are the ports in the same location? thanks :)

hi, I'm looking into maybe putting a hemi into my scamp but I want to keep it simple and run a carb (I personally also love the look better). I want to design an intake myself on catia and I have the flange CAD. I was wondering if anybody has an intake they could measure for me to determine how...

Hi everyone, I would like to put my SS springs on my Scamp in combination with my current 7.25 rear. I have the longer shocks. Should I set up any sort of pinion angle with it for just street use? Eventually, when the funds are available and parts sourced, I will put in my 8.75 rear end...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to remove my windshield to remove rust from the channel / fence, and I have done a few searches on how to do it as well as service manuals. The manuals are ok (doesn't mention scamp in the 71 plymouth manual, so i looked at dart) and seem to be in line with the majority...

Hi everyone, I've been looking into the possibility of using a modern hemi (and there are a FEW local to me for sale from$100-$250) in front of the 904 or 727 i have or even possibly get a A833. I don't want to deal with the fab work needed for the 545RFE to fit. Where confusion comes in is the...

Hi, I have a 7 1/4 rear end in my 1971 Scamp. I plan on putting a 8.75 rear in it (which I have) but that is being saved for the larger picture. In the short term, I'd like to make the 7.25 a BBP, currently it's a SBP. Would BBP axles from a 73-76 fit or will they be short? Or will my center...

Hi, I have a 71 Scamp and will be replacing the 7.25 rear with a 8.75 one. I sourced a 67 B body housing and comes with axles but no brake hardware. I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info and I'm getting confused. What I know for sure: -7.25 SBP back plates and 8.75 back plates differ -drums...

I know there's a kit to do this out there but I was wondering if anyone here has done it? I know it's not recommended but the BB I have is going to mild and strictly for daily driver use. Just curious If someone has done it. Thanks

I started the 71 Scamp today to let it run a while and heard this weird rolling rattle noise up near the pulleys. When you throttle up, it disappears. Moved some parts by hand and found that the pulley on water pump is fairly wobbly. Could this be the source and if so, should I replace the pump?

Hi, I'm new to the classic car scene and I recently bought a 1971 Plymouth Scamp. I was wondering if the side marker lights are supposed to signal lights as well? Right now they just light up. If they are signal lights too, what could be the problem other then the bulb itself? Thanks

Hi, I tried a search but things seemed confusing. I have a 1971 Plymouth Scamp with the 225 slant 6. It starts great. It can sit for 2 weeks and still start great. It does idle a bit rich though. When the car starts there is no smoke under hood. Once you rev it, you can see a puff of black smoke...

Hi, I'm looking for fuel line to replace my slowing rotting metal fuel line in my 1971 Scamp. I'm trying to find a pre-bent line from someone like inline. Now the conundrum is a "valiant" uses one line, no Scamps come up, and a different line is used for a Dart Swinger. Will a dart swinger line...
