It rains every day single day of May in Ohio.

A friend of mine from out at the local dragstrip has always said " if ain't leakin' somewhere, then it ain't runnin' right".

The scary thing about it is if he is dumb enough to do it. How many of those kind of dumbasses are at the Mopar shows we all attend when they have guys doing burnouts during cruise events like Mopar Nats and other places. You can see the reason why the police are such pricks about it.

My wife had a Ford Tempo and the oil pump went out on it and the engine ceased up. Even though the oil light came on, she thought she could get it home for me to look at it. I replaced the oil pump and checked everything over. Tore the filter apart and didn't see any metal in it or the pan. I...

I have a Lincoln 175 HD 220 volt mig. Like you I didn't have any experience with it when I bought it. I just researched the basics of how to do it and got my welding gas, helmet and jacket and etc. and started playing around some scrap metal until I was comfortable enough to weld on my car. I'm...

With the way the prices are going through the roof in professional motorsports, I wouldn't be suprised to see both NASCAR & NHRA price themselves right out of business. I know the sportsman classes will still be around but I can see the professional programs dissappear. If look at at NHRA, all...

The only time you are ever done with a car is when you sell it.

We have moles as well. We have two cats that love leaving us what is left of the moles as a gift on our front porch. We also spread Sevin dust too kill their food supply. They haven't been as bad as they were in the past so I think I'm slowly winning................I think.

If it is the same guy that Mitchell's Mopar in Columbus, Ohio, stay the hell away from him. He's a crook. He had a place catch fire where all his parts were warehoused. I heard the fire was deliberately started because there was a rumor floating around that he had stolen parts and such in there...

It's the jackasses who say they are gonna fix it up one of these days and never do. They also go around bragging to people that they have a collection of antique collector cars and brag about how much they are worth. I'm sorry, but just because you see Barett Jackson sell one for thousands of...

It would be cool if they did start production. They need to get rid of that front end. The front end still looks too much like the ugly ones that are in production. It would look cool with a modernized version of the 70 Charger front end.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I know what I'm going to do. Doing the split mono-leaf with cal tracks seems to be the way to go. I can use SS springs for a future project maybe. The website for cal-tracs says the springs come in various spring heights. Are the SS springs 3" higher than stock...

I plan on doing plenty of work on the front suspension as well as the rear. I have everything to completely rebuild front end, QA1 shocks (adj. front & rear), tubular a-arms, new torsion bars, Energy Susp. polyeurothane kit, plus plenty of other items. If I use the cal tracks with my SS...

So are the SS springs almost as good as a cal tracks? I know the cal tracks would work better than just leaf springs. But if the SS springs do a good enough job for what I'm looking to do then I won't spend the money for the cal tracks. I'm buliding a 408 stroker that will put around 10.70's to...

I'm hoping I can. I want to use Cal-Trac bars on my car. I already have a set S/S springs and don't want them to end up being a waste. I could always sell them but I would never get back what I paid for them. So I'm hoping I can use them.

Can you use the Cal-Trac syetem with the Mopar Super Stock leaf springs? Do they make a set for the S/S springs? What effect will they have if you put them on S/S springs? I've heard some guys locally say you can't mix the two and I've heard you can use them. What does everyone else say?

The experts that have told us that we cannot discipline our kids and we have to let them do what they want because if we don't let them, then it will cause emotional distress and they won't feel good about themselves later in life. Those experts more than likely don't have kids of their own and...

The thing that gets me motivated a lot of the time is the smell of burning tires. It doesn't even have to be a car doing a burnout. Just smelling it after someone locks up their brakes or something like that. That smell ignites something in me that makes me go to the garage and start wrenching...

3 on the tree: my uncle's Ford truck 4 speed: 77 Trans Am Never done the VW thing First muscle car I drove: 67 GTO with a 400 First muscle car I remember riding in: my uncle's close friend's Plum Crazy 70 T/A Challenger 340+6. He still owns it to this day. And my uncle's 69 340 Swinger. I...

You need to ask them how they would know being that they have had their head shoved up their Cheby's exhaust pipe. I love assholes like that. You find out how much of a coward they are when you tell them to line up and find out whose faster. Some people think Chevies are the best simply because...

77 Firebird with a 350 4-barrell

They are the same engine. 360 just has a bigger crank with longer stroke. Chrysler knew they were going to lose the horsepower of the 340 with emission regulations. They tried to replace the horsepower with torque by making the 360.

If I were in your shoes, I would choose the 340 as well. I'm putting a 408 stroker in my 68 Dart. That makes a the 360 the logical choice for me though. I would have to say your friend is nuts for wanting to put a 360 in an original 340 car when it still has a 340.

If you are going to compare them stock for stock, the 340 easily wins. If you are restoring an original 340 car, obviously a 340. Once the engines are modified though, it doesn't matter. You can build a 340 as bad-*** you want. You can make a 360 just as bad-***, cheaper. My point is, once the...

If I had the money that a new Charger costs and was going to spend it on a Charger, it would be an old one. I still think they just built a four door sedan and just threw the Charger name on it for marketing reasons.

I just ordered a set of Centerlines from them and had no problems. Probably depends on the wheel. I just got the Autodrag wheels. Those are probably a pretty standard wheel they keep in stock I imagine.

I've been reading the posts about the newer Mopar muscle and how it compares to the other X-brands. Has everyone forgotten what the muscle car is really about? If you ask me, Chrysler is doing now what they did back then. They are giving you a starting point, the basic performance package. You...

Thats what muscle cars were about. Performance and making them what you want them be. It's not about production numbers and 100% original parts. Leave that crap for the full scale model collectors. I wouldn't go do any serious hacking on it to make some Pro Stock looking car or anything. But...

From glancing at the pic it doesn't look to be in that bad of shape. If the rest of it looks good, I wouldn't part it out. Make a project out of it. Use the disc brake setup out of it for your Valiant and put a Wilwood setup on it or something else when you get Valiant done.

My brother in-law drove from Columbus, Ohio all the way to Texas to get a truck. The seller sent him photos of the truck and it looked pretty decent from the pics. The problem was the pics of the truck were taken before the owner beat the crap out the truck. He got down there and seen the truck...
