    Clunking in my steering column?

    Ditto here. I had the same clunking and resistance, it was the zerk fitting on the pitman arm hitting the exhaust. -Alex

    Mental Horsepower

    My 4 barrel 318 Demon has been my daily driver for the last 4 years and I put about 50 miles on it a day. She gets about 14 mpg on the street and 19-21mpg on the freeways. I put ten gallons of gas every five or six days and a quart of oil when she needs it. She never whines, never complains...

    360 block

    Quick question: I always see how people mention the early 360 blocks are good for rebuilding because of the thivk wall castings. Offered in trucks and such. Are there any years from 1970-1990 pre-magnum 360 blocks to stay away from? Very thin wall or prone to cracking or anything like...

    Kool April Nites

    Talk about a BIG car show. I've played at that car show with a band I used to be in. I think when I was there it was topped off at 22,000 cars?? Too bad it rained a little but the turnout was still amazing. I'm sure that at some point Rockin' Ron and his wife will be on stage talking about...

    Mopar Plug Wires

    I have the blue Mopar Performance plug wires on my 318. Does anyone know if these are soild core wires? The descriptions on the net don't say soild or wound. I want to install an MSD unit I just got but the instructions say not to use with solid core wires due to interfence. Thanks. -Alex

    Quick question!

    I don't know if this has been mentioned before on this site, if it has I never came across it, but I found a different way to take off the stock starter WITHOUT even touching the Hedman headers on my '71 Demon. Being that I had to lift my engine to remove the headers I had to figure something...

    Quick question!

    ...but twice the price. I really wanted to go that route but money is extremely tight right now and my car needs to run today so I can't spend time at the boneyards. My current starter has full warranty so I'll get money back when I get around to buying the smaller one. I'll make it...

    Quick question!

    So my starter finally gave in to heat-soaking and the Demon is stranded in the parking lot of my wife's work. Gonna try it one more time in the morning but it looks like I'll be getting a tow truck. :-( Do the Hedman full length headers have to come off to take of the stock starter? -Alex

    Ride height..

    Yeah, I've set the rise height before and the measurement is a wierd process but still pretty easy to do. My dad is doing it to his car back in Los Angeles and he asked me for the spec so I'm trying to get it to him so he can do it to his Swinger. I think I remember it being 1 3/8" so that's...

    727 linkage

    Mancini has cooler lines. I got some for my 71 Demon 727 combo. I had to bend them a little to get them to fit but nothing major at all. Mostly because I had previously fabbed up a bracket for my shift cable that was in the way next to the trans pan. They are good lines and came pretty...

    1970 Duster 318 with assorted parts, help

    73+ disk brake spindles are symmetrical. If you install them on the wrong side, meaning that the calipers would end up in the front instead of the back, there is no harm but you may have some problems trying to get the stock sway bar back on(if equipped). From www.moparts.com: "geometry...
