Hi all, I'm in a pickle. Last Wednesday the transmission in my Ram retired itself. Towed her home and was relieved to remember that I have Toyota 4 runner that, although is on her last legs, was still running. I recently parked her after a valve stem seal gave up the ghost, so she could let go...

There don't seem to be any words to use the search function that don't return 20,000 results regarding "loads of fun" "I give up" "Which engine should I build" etc. So if the answer is already posted I apologize. I don't have a specific problem right now but in the past I have had engines...

I'm in need of help. I have a fresh 360 build in my Scamp. I have a problem with the engine stalling out. At first it appeared to be heat related and I treated it for vapor lock. But then it started to do it cold and finally got to the point where it wouldn't even start. I discovered 2 spark...

Recently finished my 360build. Edelbrock intake and carb, therefore susceptible to heat soak and she vapor locks quite easily. What resolution do you guys think is better, plywood or phenolic spacer?

Looking for a solid Driver's Side rear qtr lower patch for a '73 Scamp. Thanks I'm in Alexandria, VA.

I'm going to look at this truck this weekend. My concern is the transmission. Chrysler trannies were terrible in this time period (had a 99 Durango affirm it). Has anyone here owned one of these or simlar variation? Just curious if there "known history" of trouble. Thanks...

Finally getting around to starting a thread here for my Scamp. I'll start posting more details when I get some time but here are some videos I have on Vimeo I took last night while I was breaking in the cam. https://vimeo.com/user390269/videos

I'm planning on cranking my new motor and breaking in the cam this weekend. I currently do not have the neutral safety switch/back up lights wiring. My question is this, Do I need to ground the tab on the starter relay to get to it fire? or can I just leave it unconnected? Thanks

I'm installing a 360/727 into my 73 scamp and need to purchase new transmission cooler lines. I haven't been able to find any ready-made lines available for that combo. Does anyone know of another eng/trans combo for A bodies that would bolt right up or do I need to just get a universal kit? Thanks

Does anyone have a fuel tank filler neck that will fit a '73 Scamp. Mine has collected a good bit of surface rust around the tank grommet area and I would prefer one that has all the steel present as opposed just cleaning the one I have. Or if you know of any repops available, I would appreciate...

Not mine just came across it on craigslist. Southern Maryland http://smd.craigslist.org/cto/3516202696.html

I have been on this site for several years now living in Atlanta. Just recently relocated to the DC area, more specifically Burke, VA. Thus far, I have found very little in the way of a mopar community here, at least by comparison. Can I get a whut whut from you guys in this area? I am yet to...

This is why mom always said ..."make sure you test fit when using headers" She's so smart. '73 Scamp - originally a /6 using original steering gear It looks to me that I have a B-body pan, there is ample room in the arc of k-member to accept a front sump pan, this is a rear sump. Just wanted...

Man what a great truck for wtshtf... http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/2052417390.html

Does anyone have a good (undamaged) set of motor mount brackets for a '66-72 A-Body with a small block V-8? I have a good set for B-Body if a trade is in order or if someone simply needs them. Here is a drawing from the manual for clarity: I just discovered that 273/318 brackets are different...

Just called them get a price on a Torsion Bar removal tool - After clarifying that I said "Torsion Bar" and asking some other employees if they carried them, he asked me "I'm not sure...what part does it remove?"](*,)

I'm changing my Scamp over to a V8 with Disc brakes. Does anyone need a K-Frame and or 9" drum brakes (front only)? The Torsion Bars are good too. Any fair offer can have them but I am a little strapped for cash so I'll probably just scrap them before the end of November if nobody wants them...

I'm looking for the correct cup washers used to bolt the rear shocks on to a 73 Scamp. I only need 2 but will buy 4 if you've got 'em. Also need one of the larger size that slides over the stud, I think it's a 5/8" hole. No hurry, Thanks!

Alright guys, humanitarian time. My local club (North Georgia Mopar Club) has taken on a great project. We are restoring a 66 Charger (I know, not an A body, but still a very cool Mopar) for a young soldier stationed overseas. It started as just helping fix some rust and has evolved into a full...

Let's see all the Scamps out there!!! plus I want to compile a list of fellow Scamp owners so I know where to look for parts :-D I am posting progress pictures of mine in the gallery: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/vbpicgallery.php?do=hall&u=8516 But here is what my 73...

Fyi, swapping the rear end out today and thought I'd post a few pics of the 2 setups side by side. Hope its helps somebody....

Has anyone attempted to restore the color of a yellowed washer bottle? Bleach? or would it make the plastic too brittle? Color safe laundry bleach? a little weaker, maybe better for the plastic? Thanks in advance.

Finally getting around to posting some pictures of the Scamp project. Seems like I have been alternating between the garage the computer scavegening for parts for the last week or so. The weather's nice and I just can't bring myself to do anything else. I put a bunch of new photos in the...

It's getting close. The North Georgia Mopar Club is hosting the annual Mopar Southern Classic at AMS on Saturday May 2nd. We usually get 250+ cars and is always a great time. This year there will be drag racing down pit road and a multi-act concert in the evening. I organize and manage the...

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but I can't seem to find a Factory Service Manual that covers Scamps/Valiants. Just starting working on a 73 Scamp and the manual would be a big help. Please let me know where I can find one or if you have one. Thanks

I found an 82 Dodge 1/2 ton rear end - 8 3/4", 489 case, 3.23 gears for sale through my local mopar club. The spring perch dimension on my 73 scamp should be 43". I had the guy measure his (he's about 2 hours away from me) and he came up with 43 1/4". I pressed him for accuracy and he was...

Hi everyone, I am long time B-Body guy with a "can't pass up" opportunity to pick up a very restorable '73 Scamp for next to nothing. I'm gonna grab it in mid-January and plan on digging right in. I know the B's inside and out, currently playing with a 69 Road Runner 383/4sp. But I know I will...
