Thanks

I have a question. I bought a 318 complete motor from a friend who needed money. It came out of a '69 Charger. I haven't done anything to it, or even looked at it, sits in the back of the shop on an engine stand along with 4 other motors from different automakers. Where would I find any...

Correct. Theory versus practice. Someone feeding and clothing themselves and having a few good classic cars beats the bum on the street corner reciting Shakespeare.

I mean who never opens the secondary's ha ha.

Off topic-related to your signature. The 2nd amendment guarantees the 1st.

Motors work better when all the parts are harmonious with each other. Like someone said, measure twice. Bigger ports don't always mean more power. It's all about pushing the piston down. Air and gas volume matched exactly to the rotating assembly and spark timing coupled with balancing. I'm...

Yup

In the old days, we would put some modeling clay on one piston, assemble one head, one set of pushrods and rockers, slowly turn the engine over by hand, remove the head, and do a look see. If you are going to just change rockers, and want a Mopar site internet friend to approve the change, if...

Cleaning the spark plugs every week sure helps. Back in the 60's most car owners were expected to do their own maintenance. Plugs, points, (before electronic) condenser, oil changes, timing. Take care of your car with a good tune-up, what you get in MPG is what you get. We don't care how much...

Hate cats - to me they are worthless - Except my wife has 4 and she loves them and they love her. I only feed them in the morning. I don't scratch them and they don't ask me for anything. We live in a scarcely populated canyon so every corner is sprayed by the cats every night, the neighbor...

Ha ha what is it about Honda's that make them get next to me and rev up their aftermarket muffler ha ha

If you do the swap, get some aftermarket finned valve covers, machine them out and put a Mopar metal emblem in the center.

That's what happens now since they allowed lawyers to advertise.

Turning 70 this year. Didn't race for 15 years. Used to run 5:80's in the 1/8th in last car. Rented the track last year and invited 15 friends, we all ran high 8's low 9's I made a trophy. Didn't win. But the adrenaline was so powerful I thought I would have a heart attack. But just had a...

Prices for metal have gone up. Mostly due to the government injecting tons of money into the economy via Stimulus. When there is more money than products the price goes up. $700 stimulus check equals gas price increase of $ 0.20 the next day. And it gets sucked out. Steel prices have had...

We like to build trophy cars......... no, not cars that are numbers matching, but cars that people give up on, for pennies on the dollar. Bought our '69 Dart for $1100, dropped in a 440/727 that we got for $200, local reupholster, 2 sheets of 18 gage steel, lime green paint. The trophy is when...

Great. I hope you never find out how good Hagerty was when something happens. We have 5 cars with them.

Do something nice and costly for your wife around the house, like remodeling, or buying her new furniture. While she is busy with her new stuff, get in the garage and finish that car.

Horsepower and Torque just give you reference points so you can tell if you have improved from the previous mark by adding or adjusting. The real test is ET and Trap speed, if you can't make it to the track, find a hill. Drive up the hill using a stopwatch and mark the time to a certain...

Try calling and using the online chat, every other day, happened to us 1969 Dart, when I turned the heat on, the carpet came within a week.

One possibility is that the pedal to carb linkage is not opening the carb full throttle, happened to me once.

Need to find the hood latch (the piece on the hood, not the latch on the grill) Don't even know what it looks like. All help is appreciated.

Done

The car sat for nearly 20 years, I just purchased it and brought it home. I do have a lot of spare parts for all my cars that have been sitting unused for many years, in this case I will purchase 2, since I am not yet up to speed on Mopars. To those of you in the know, thanks for all your...

Thanks everyone, right answer ! Now she starts and runs. (With the jumper, I need to buy the spare resistors)

Thanks everyone. This part? By jumping you mean it's possible in an emergency to jump the terminals? steve

Just bought this 69 Dart with slant 6. Cleaned out the fuel lines, etc. Car started but when I released the key it died. I found out after a few tries that the car would run if I kept the key in the far right position (starter).... the starter gear released but car would only run if I kept...

My first Mopar since 1970.
