When going with aftermarket gauges, what needs to be done to the stock gauge harness? I thought I read that the ammeter wires needed to be connected, but I couldn't remember exactly. Adding aftermarket gauges to stock cluster.

I currently have small bolt pattern. I am looking for a pair of hubs that have the 5x4.5 pattern. I want to build a set of big brakes using modern Mustang brake rotors and calipers, and building brackets. I can track down the bearings and rear seal, and then make the brackets to allow the...

FABO, I wanted to give some feedback. My 1976 Dart Lite sat for several years, primary reason was I was unable to find a decent 1 barrel carb. I have bought and rebuilt 3 units. I rebuilt two unit, and I had someone else rebuild the 3rd. I was forced to bring the car out of storage, and...

I remember there was a vendor that offered a molded plastic gauge insert / cluster / panel / dash for the A bodies. It was for those that were going with aftermarket gauges. With all the different terms for this part, I can't seem to track it down in search, or the google. Can someone direct me?

I am taking my 1976 Dart, and building a 1970's type Super Stock clone. I have 15 x 3.5 front and 15 x 14 Cragar Super Trick wheels. I have a 383 that is going in, with a single carb tunnel ram intake. I will cut down 8.75 C body axle, and it will have very mild gears. I haven't decided on...

I am preparing for a big block swap. 383 is basic, with cam, intake, headers, etc. I am going to have a hard shifting 727 built. What are some in the trenches stuff that needs to be done? If memory serves, there was something about a bolt in sprag? I am going for either a TCI or B&M full...

1976 Dodge Dart Lite. Car was supposed to be big bolt pattern disc, with 4 speed OD. Mine is very early 1975, and is small bolt pattern, and drums on all 4 corners. I have searches ScareBird, they only service up to 1972. Ebay listings show complete kits for 395.00 but all say that 75-76 use...

Full disclosure: It's a 1965 Mustang. Beyond that, someone I went to school with has decided to buy a 1965 Mustang he found while working in the insurance business. Inline 6, automatic car. Exterior shots from what I see show a sunfaded finish, minimal rust. He says it needs driver floor...

Reality bites. Reality blows. Reality is, with a full time job, wife, and 4 kids, I am not going to get to this car the way I want to any time soon, and I can use the space and funds toward something that I can enjoy sooner. WHO: You What: 1975 Dodge Colt When: Soon Where: Kansas City...

I got what I believe to be a BBD 2 bbl carb with the intakeand exhaust manifold. I am using the cracked exhaust manifold for a turbo setup. Can the BBD be modified for blow through purposes? Anyone with any input?

I have had the Dart Lite for several years. Drove it daily for a few, it has been sitting for a while due to life situations. It's time to bring it back. It sat because I couldn't get a decent 1 bbl carb for anything. I bought a 2 bbl setup through FABO a while back. I got to the point...

Father in law passed away around the first of the year. Son went through and took a few, left me the rest. Old boy was a mechanic back in the day, had a lot of stuff, much of it quality Made in USA stuff, in several quantites of each. I have some Craftsman stuff, but much is Made in China...

Long story short: Old job was 9-5, sitting at a desk, selling speed and performance parts. Company decided to close the call center, so I am out the door. I have a new job (thankfully, only out 2 weeks), in the maintenance field of a huge commercial food processing plant. Hours are 4:30pm to...

Secondary mother's house. Currently for sale, but exterior paint is terrible, so I am going to pressure wash and paint. Small house. What color would be best to brighten curb appeal?

Long story short, is I am looking at getting a title for my 1970 Challenger. I have had it sitting for 15 years, non roadworthy. I had a title, signed by previous owner, but state to state difference, meant I had to have it running to take it to my local DMV for VIN # inspection, which it...

I saw a back cover photo in a Mopar magazine talking about this car. I decided to do some research on it last night. Mopar had a killer shape with this car....I envision with an SRT-4 drivetrain, modern wheels, killer paint. Here is the site dedicated to the restoration, kit car potential...

Slightly off topic of Mopars I know, but I need your insight. I have been asked to resurrect a 1954 Morgan. The family (mom, son and daughter), have some background on the car, but not much help beyond that. I am not too afraid of the basic points ignition, etc, but it will DEFINATELY need...

The Colt is going 70's vintage Pro Street / Pro Stock. I am looking for some big block valve covers. Gold / red / blue anodized? "Direct Connection"? I have a set of black wrinkle M/T already, but thinking more of the anodized vintage look. This will be coupled with a single tunnel...

Trying to decide if I want to go more modern Pro Street or vintage 70's Pro Stock on my Colt build. Car is going to have the following: Cragar Super Trick wheels, tubbed, running 383 big block, with single 4 tunnel ran, and a scoop of some sort, either open, or mailbox, or functional butterfly...

It's a long shot, but I am getting to point where I can justify a "midlife crisis" car. :evil4: Either going to get a new Challenger, 5.7 with 6 speed would be the basic recipe, or Spend the money on an A body, with new Hemi swap. It needs to be a stick car. So, what are the manual...

I inherited from my father in law, an old Mac or Matco toolbox, basic bottom and top setup. When he spent money on tools, he bought good stuff, so I am excited to inventory and figure out exactly what I have. The box and tools are greasy, old, and dirty. I am going over this weekend, to...

Anyone have any recent cost experiences on how much it costs to cut down an housing and respline axles? It will be a (gasp) 9" Ford, in case that makes a difference, as I presume there is more comfort and familiarity with this housing versus 8 3/4.

not mine, but holy crap...

8 year old was out the the garage with me last night, helping clean work bench so I can rebuild the 1945 series carb for the Dart. He is sitting on the bench, and I am talking about what the carb is, what it does, etc. I was explaining the difference between the small 1 barrel, and the larger...

People tend to use Ebay as a measuring stick as to what a car is worth. What if we started a thread where a seller or buyer, could list details on the car they bought or sold, along with price and pictures, to help prospective buyers or sellers judge the market better? This might also help...
