    Phoenix area mechanic recommendations

    So here’s where I stand on it after carefully reviewing your posts and pictures. For one, I don’t have a shop or even a garage to put the car and apparent large load of parts. Also I don’t feel I want to deal with, or be responsible for an engine needing a blower, aftermarket fuel system and...

    Phoenix area mechanic recommendations

    All clear now. Just so you know, I would pretty much have to have the car and related parts up here. But I will think about it. Do you know what’s keeping it from running? Oh, I went back to your sale post. “Some assembly required” lol. Yea, that would have to be up here.

    What kind of work do you need done? I’m in Prescott Valley and do Mopar and others.

    65 Dart Charger

    We don’t have a name for the group. I think if anything it should be my email address. (Mopars4us) I’ll PM you my phone number in case you want to contact us. I set up a group text for all our guys, so one text hits all. Below is the website for most of the car shows. Car Shows

    65 Dart Charger

    This car belongs to one our local Mopar group. He bought the car in 1977 and it now is on it’s third vinyl half top. It currently has a replacement 273, but he has the original motor. He wears a motor out, the swaps in the waiting rebuilt. The car currently has approximately 700k on it. 273, 10...

    LETS C UR SELF MADE DASH CLUSTER

    If you end up using plexiglass or lexan a moto tool is a lot better than trying to use a hole saw.

    Your first mopar...?

    My very first Mopar was a 1957 Chrysler Windsor. This pic is not my car, but it looked just like this. I was 13 at the time and it was my first trans swap by myself. I came home from school one day and it was driving out the driveway. My Dad said we needed the money. Ok then.

    Sun shade

    Bob and Cheryl have a double chair with detachable umbrellas and a little table between them. Basically all one piece. (In Phoenix) so you know it works.:D

    Need advise on Sub frame connectors

    2x3 laying flat snugged right up against the floor with no floor mods on my Dart.

    Need advise on Sub frame connectors

    Every early Mopar can benefit greatly from adding subframe connectors. Personally I used 2x3 square stock because 3 inch fits perfect over the existing rear subframe section. I could see the benefit of the US Cartool connectors being welded to the floor pan, but for a driver type car I think...

    Bypass hose

    Here’s one source, and they are available on Ebay, Summit, Amazon and a bunch of other places. Here’s a link for this one. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/masterpro-belt-hose/engine-cooling/bypass-hose/e16569f345bf/masterpro-coolant-hose/mbh0/20693?pos=3

    AM radio to Bluetooth.. or other ideas.

    Maybe take a good look at the Bluetooth amps like already mentioned. I have one that receives Bluetooth, usb, memory card and fm stereo. It’s small enough to put in a glove box or console. It cost about 30 bucks and comes with a remote. This is the one I have.

    Classic Mopar Use ????

    Every day, every where. longest drive was 17 hours one way. Stop for fuel, food and bathroom breaks and hit 7 or 8 of the most popular beaches.

    Which transmission.

    904 pan is almost square and the 727 has a kick out on the side. You probably have a 904 in that car. In any case, do yourself a favor and get the gasket for the 42RH. It is rubber over metal and is reusable. If for some reason you have a 727, the 46RH gasket is the one you want. Sealing a pan...

    Video's (youtube etc..)

    This is a 3 video series on a 71 Dart that we modified. This 318 is now in my 72 yellow Dart. I helped him with some of the stuff like OD install and floor mods it needed, plus the exhaust redesign to go around the Gear Vendors OD. FYI, my YouTube channel is mopars4us. A like and subscribe...

    Some bling for the Wife’s 72 dart.

    I have no idea and neither does the guy I got it from. All I know for sure is the valve springs are not stock and it has slight lope to the idle.

    Some bling for the Wife’s 72 dart.

    We picked up this 72 Swinger some time back and it had some issues. It was immediately apparent that it had a valve train problem from the noises it was making in spite of the freshly cut off muffler to try and hide it. It was a completely stock 318 two barrel car with single exhaust. Sure...

    Just screwing around.

    I had the third pedal on just about everything I daily drove for decades and I’m over it. Though this car would be pretty fun with a 5 or 6 speed. :D

    Just screwing around.

    Thanks, but it really was just some stuff I threw together for some testing. It’s hard enough to navigate and remember, then they change the damn software with an update. To add to that I recently picked up a wireless microphone setup that the instructions tell you squat. Like does it save your...

    Header Interference?

    I considered doing the silicone, but waiting until that much silicone set up was the deciding factor. I figured 3-4 days of dry time.

    Header Interference?

    I have spool mounts with factory style rubber with the air gap sections in them. They move quite a bit. I pounded two pieces of 3/8 fuel line into each air gap on both mounts. That kept rubber but firmed the mounts up so the motor doesn’t move around as much. Worked great.

    Header Interference?

    Yep, it’s tight in that engine bay when it comes to hedders. I have 1.03 torsion bars which makes those clearances even tighter. Sometimes I think about mounting the motor solid since about everything else shifts position after awhile. Just can’t bring myself to do it.
  29. TrailBeast

    Header Interference?

    Like I always say, the biggest difference between really expensive hedders and cheaper ones is it hurts more to ding the expensive ones. I will add though, I have adjusted motor mounts as little as 1/8 inch up down or sideways to get an 1/8 clearance on both sides.
