    Odd problem with battery drain.

    I disconnect the battery when not driving. I put in a new stereo in the Dart but never listen to it. Took the antenna off to put on car cover.

    Opinions from those who have Mopars but no garage

    I keep my Subaru outside under a car cover. Beside the neighbors calling the police to complain about the car cover “ruining the neighborhood” or “there’s a dead body inside” it has protected the car. Mine have lasted about 2 years before I have to get a new one in Southern CA.

    1969 Dodge Dart GTS 440 - Slight Hesitation Upon Starting

    Recently, upon turning the ignition key to start the car there has been a one second moment of silence before the starter turns the engine over and it starts.

    Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

    Early 80's, I rebuilt a VW bug engine in the apartment's bed room. Took it for a first drive and a little tube on top of the carb fell into the engine and got stuck in a valve. Had to take the engine out and carry it back up the stairs to the bedroom and take it apart again. Fun times.

    Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

    If you live in San Diego you would know there are only two major classic car shops. If you live in San Diego and don't know which shop I am talking about you can message me.

    Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

    Three years ago, I had a Hot Rod shop (not JBA) in the San Diego area install front disk brakes on my 1969 Dodge Dart GTS. They had to install 15" wheels which required new Nitro rear axles. On Sunday, I hit the gas and heard a loud grinding noise. We were able to limp home, but thinking it was...
