Damned if I never considered this. I'm 14 years retired from a Colorado state vehicle emissions testing laboratory. This was not a state inspection site but rather research lab. I was licensed to perform and issue valid inspection certificates, however this was done only when lab testing...

Hey thanks Dan. The pump I have is Carter 29965, although I can’t see the bottom half of the “5” or “S”. Odds are it’s the S. It’s in the box that the replacement came in. Lotta grease but don’t see any damage. Think I’ll rebuild it next month. Glad to have this source. Jerry

Thanks Dan. I’m pretty sure it’s the fuel pump. I ordered an airtex brand pump based on reviews of mechanical fuel pumps. When it’s in my hands I think I’ll do that—pull the pump when warm and listen. I have the original pump that previous owner gave me. Rebuild kit is hard to find and...

I’m running a ‘63 Dart wagon with stock 225 three on the tree. When cold there is no unusual noise. Using a Stethoscope the valve train sounds just fine. All even and normal sounding. After warming up the ticking begins, intermittent at first and when fully warmed it is constant ticking...

I’m driving a ‘63 Dart wagon, stock engine, bbs, stick shift on column, 3.23 rear, duals with hand made front exhaust, and a pair of glass packs. Loud, of course. I find this car is fantastic to drive. Most 4 cylinder cars can out run me easily. Still like the car. I’m too cheap to spend...

I experienced similar symptoms right after finishing an install. When I reversed the two wires that come from the distributor and all was well. I reversed them again and the engine ran poorly. I switched the wires back again and the engine ran well. I think it may have something to do with a...

When working on customer vehicles, I always replaced the condenser since that was the understanding when doing a tune-up, but on my cars, if the points were not building up a mountain on one side, I would leave that condenser in and replace the points only. A set of points that were only gray...

If you want a trouble-free way to mount a Sanden compressor onto your slant 6, get one of Charlie's bracket sets. I got one and it is perfect. With his bracket set you can use Mopar's original A/C pulley which is installed onto the backside of the balancer, between the balancer and the timing...
