Noticed a crack surrounding my passenger side door striker. Driver side has already had a crack welded up by a previous owner. I know what the correct fix is, but I'm not prepared to cut out my pillar and weld in a new section at the moment. I'm curious what others have done, because this...

In the middle of an axle swap. Using Speedway lower shock mount/leaf spring plate. The plate does not come with a shock stud. A coworker gave me some bolt in shock studs, but they appear to be 9/16 and the stock stud joints are 11/16. I can't seem to find larger bolt in stud, or bushings...

When Mopar guys are talking about camshafts, they seem to refer to lift. For example, "I have a .590 cam in my....". In my past experience with Brand X, camshafts are referred to by their duration, either advertised or at .050. It seems duration is more relevant when discussing cams because...

When I first got my car I checked the speedo with a GPS app and found it to be pretty accurate. Shortly after replacing the engine and rebuilding the trans, the speedometer needle started jumping all around. I pulled the cable out of the back of the speedometer and squirted it with silicone...

A few of the clips have failed and I can’t seem to find replacements. Are they reproduced?

Recently fixed the wiring to my oil pressure switch and was dismayed to find the oil light glowing at idle. I removed the switch and placed a mechanical gauge, and it confirmed. Basically zero oil pressure at idle. Comes up to about 5psi at 1500, and climbs from there. Snapping the throttle got...

Saw this while lost looking for our vacation rental. It was too cool not to go back and snap a few pics. Thought you guys might appreciate it as well.

I've been wanting to add cup holders, and didn't want any of the cheesy plastic aftermarket options that are out there. This was my solution: Purchased stainless boat cup holders on Amazon. These were maybe 25-30 bucks for both. There are smaller (and cheaper) versions that would be a little...

Dr Diff shows to be out of stock, so I wanted to check here to see if there are any spring relocation kits for sale.

Just wanting to see what's out there before I buy new. Primarly looking for a Promatic/Quicksilver or a Z-gate. But I might consider others.

I was looking for a possible way to convert to floor shift without looking like a wannabe racer. The typical ratchet shifter seemed like it would be mounted way to forward with a bench seat. I found a possible solution. It's a Garret Machine Works (owned by Lokar) Gated shifter. It doesn't...

I installed a basic shift kit during my 904 overhaul. It came with a stiffer regulator spring. The instructions stated to install the spring with the aduster all the way out, and if you wanted firmer shifts to go back and adust it in up to .260. When I installed the trans and checked line...

Is line pressure always available to the tap in the passenger side of the case, or only in certain ranges?

Finally took my maiden voyage have after swapping in a mildly built 360 in place of the old 273. Engine runs great, but I seem to have transmission issues that were not present before. Any significant throttle seems to cause it to start slipping on the 1-2 shift. Let off the throttle and the...

I'm wrapping up the installation of a new engine into my '68 Dart. One of the last "while I'm at it" items is upgrading the distributor. I've seen countless threads where it was advised to recurve the distributor for a notable power increase. As engine tuning is new to me, I thought I would...

I'm looking for a cheap set to go with the ratty hood I just picked up. They can have pitting and patina. I prefer 68 style, but will consider 69 also.

Looking for a local A-Body 8 1/4. If I can't find one I will most likely do the Ford 8.8 conversion. Budget is flexible depending on condition, gearing, and if equipped with limited slip.

I need a timing cover with provisions for a fuel pump for my 5.9 magnum build. I thought I would check here before buying new. It's going in a '68, so passenger side pointer would be correct, but I think a later style can be made to work.

I made my first attempt at degreeing a cam this past weekend. Magnum 360 block I'm attempting to rehab on the cheap. My cam core was pitted/flaked on a few lobes, plus I wanted to run a mechanical fuel pump, so I purchased a LA roller regrind off of ebay. Same seller and similar to this one...

I would like make my own dual snorkel air cleaner out of two single snorkels. I'm making a hot rod, not a resto, so I'm not wanting to spend big bucks on a factory dual. So what I need is at least one four barrel air cleaner, and a matching snorkel to graft on. The end result I'm going for is...

I've been considering using a fiberglass Air Grabber/Ramcharger air cleaner on my 5.9 Magnum build for my '68 Dart. I've searched old threads looking for others that have done the same and found very little. I'm a little surprised, as the Air Grabber/Six Pack/Hemi filter is to me the most...

So when I purchased a 5.9 Magnum for my '68, it included the trans. Being a 2001, the trans is electronic and requires a computer to control it. Now I did run across a shift kit that converts the valvebody to a forward pattern manual shift. Despite this, I can't find anyone who's swapped one...

When I first got my Dart I resisted the temptation to drive it around before I replaced the tires. The rear tires were date coded early 2000's, and I couldn't find a date on the fronts. It looks like I made the right choice. I'm not even sure when this happened. The tires have been stacked up...

I need some help ID'ing my v-belt set up. The car is a 68 Dart, the motor is currently a 273. Not sure of the year, but it does have hydraulic lifters. It originally had AC, but the compressor is no longer installed. I'm afraid it has been cobbled together, and will make reinstalling the AC a...

I've been searching the local classifieds and not much has popped up. Figured I would post here before turning to a junkyard. I'm wanting a decent builder I can reuse the bottom end on with maybe new rings/bearings.

I'm trying to avoid buying tires twice. I want to eventually convert to bbp discs, but I need tires NOW. It seems like adding discs adds 3/8 to the track width, and many people seem to be running 3/8 spacers with Bullitt wheels to clear the tie rod. That is only 1/4 of an inch from the 1"...

Looking to add a Summit or Jegs Dual exhaust kit to my 1968 Dart. Has anyone ever fabbed their own headpipes? I know TTI makes them, but at that price I might as well get headers.

I've posted a few time here looking for advice as I've looked at various a-bodies. Things finally came together and I brought one home. The title of this thread relates to a promise I made my wife that I was not going to buy another restoration project and only a driver. So while I will be...

After a long search, I finally found a A-body that wasn't roached or with an astronomical asking price. Original California car brought to Memphis in the 90's and been garaged ever since. Before I can drive it, I need to address the tires which also date to the 90s. I would like to upgrade...

I will be moving soon, so the plan to find an A-body to buy has postponed. It does, however, give me plenty of time to do research. I had been looking at Dusters and Darts as they are the most common. I wasn't even considering Barracudas, as I guess the name alone conjured up images of six...
