    Cam re-grind

    I had a mopar slant cam nearly destroy a distributor gear. I found it by accident. It was nearly gone. Doug Dutra used to have his dist gears hardened to alleviate this problem. I got in on a group deal and had a 15 of them hardened through him about 10 or so years back. They have all been used...

    a body to f body swaps ??

    There is a 4 speed swap article out there, I think it was a Steve Dulcich article. Pretty sure he used all f or m body parts to do an A body swap. Pedals should work if I am not mistaken. Don't think the suspension stuff would work though, torsion bars etc. Some of the disc brake stuff will though.

    Now let's see the stickers!

    One the factory put on, the other was put on long before I got the car. I just left it. Kind of a piece of the car's history.

    coolant flushing...?

    I always back flush. I first use a radiator flush product like prestone flush. Then disconnect the heater core hose from the outlet side of the heater core. Attach flush tool to outlet side of heater core remove radiator cap, and turn on the hose. The fresh water will back flush the heater core...

    Have collector car prices dropped significantly in the last couple of years???

    I am pretty surprised at how high the A's have gone. But I'm even more surprised at what people are asking for them. 6-8k should buy a nice car, but people are asking that for rust buckets. Then ther are the cars that have been rotisserie restoed, and guys are wanting 20-25k. I love my A's but...

    Diff question.

    Do you know what the diameter is on these? They are lpb right?

    Diff question.

    Also if you are running a limited slip rear you can burn it up by having a disparity in tire height

    GRRrrr, hit a deer in the Valiant tonight........

    Probably won't bother with insurance. I keep a high deductible to keep the rates down. The $1000 I spent on that would go a long way toward just fixing it, if not get me all the parts I need.

    GRRrrr, hit a deer in the Valiant tonight........

    So, I got the hood open this morning. I think I got pretty lucky (if you can call it that, lol) As far as I can tell the core support is okay. I think the hood is okay. The bumper had a tweak in it already, and the rf fender had some wrinkles from a fender bender long before I even bought the...

    GRRrrr, hit a deer in the Valiant tonight........

    Right at dusk when you can't even see as well as when it is dark and you have your headlights on. She just appeared in front of the car. I got on the binders but locked 'em up and took her down. Smashed up the front end some. Can't get the hood open. The poor deer's back was broken but she...

    Meguiar's glass cleaner smells like urinal cakes......

    Just bought some Meguiars glass cleaner and it smells disgusting. Exactly like the urinal cakes in any mens room. Gross. I marked the bottle "external glass only" with a sharpie on every surface. Really, who wants their interior to smell like a highway rest stop??? And on that topic why does...

    Say good bye to a very nice car. Or help me fix it. It was worse in 84

    Exactly. As a young man back in 1986-7 I was responsible for leaving the oil out of a car at the Jiffy Lube where I worked (long story, but it was MY responsibility) and the store's insurance put the new engine in that car. The alignment shop has to be insured. If they refuse to pay I would file...

    PCM / Engine swap questions 98 dodge truck

    I towed with my 2000 ram 5.2. Ehhhh. Not as torquey as the 5.9 but it did fine. Just had to be more patient with it. Not a problem though. If you do go to a 5.9 you'll have to reprog the pcm. I thought about doing the same at one point. There was some hiccup about swapping pcm's from a truck...

    Any Guru's for 73 Swinger advice?

    I'm lost on what a click shifter is, but I'm certain someone here can speak to it. As for the kickdown, if they/you cannot get it to work (weird) Lokar makes an aftermarket kickdown cable you could use.

    Why does Dodge go cheap with their steel?

    Soooooo true. I rented a chevy suburban on vacation last year. Had to be a 40 grand rig, minimum. If I had paid 40k and that is what I got, id have been PISSED! Plastic, cheapie, **** navagation, un-intuitive, etc. I'm letting someone else take the hit, and then buying used from now on, but then...
