Aren't truck pans rear sump?

I tried it once and gave up. I don't have the skills for that type of work. I later paid a guy who specializes in top replacement, and had him use German Canvass and a glass rear window. It looks way better than the vinyl, in my opinion. I also installed Crackled back's top relay wiring kit...

Mopar put out a Service Bulletin on spark plug routing on 5.2 & 5.9 Magnums due to misfires when the wires are routed wrong.

What is this "rust" thing you guys are cutting out the entire floor for? :poke:

I leave the front spring eyelet slightly loose, tighten the u-bolt to spec lower the weight of the car on the springs and finally tighten the front spring bolt. Make sure to re-torque the u-bolts a couple times after the first few miles and again after about 50 & 100 miles. I also always use...

I see. Did the case of the unit protrude that much above the original floor shape once you made room?

No doubt. My point was the use of 1/4 inch plate that follows the shape of the original floor to bridge the cut out section is relatively easy to make and very effective. The torsion bar cross member does have a significant amount of stress going into it from engine torque and deflection from...

I'm surprised that it required so much cutting. Almost everyone else has said it just takes a big hammer on the floor to make them fit. I didn't even have to cut my floor to install a 2004R, but it is much smaller that the GV unit especially in length. I did cut the cross-member and welded a...

Lubricate the contact arm and cam lobe with a touch of synthetic disc brake grease, unless you can find some point cam lube, which is very difficult to find these days, or your point arm contact pad will wear out if short order. Also, since it is Halloween, you can take an old condenser, charge...

I installed the Vintage Air Gen IV universal evaporator with an in dash control panel in place of the stock heater controls in my '68 Barracuda convertible. There is plenty of room under my '68's dash for the Gen IV, but your '66 may have a touch less. If fitment is a question, Vintage Air sells...

I used my stock '68 A-Body pedal and a throttle cable from a Jeep Cherokee that had either a 5.9 or 5.2. I had to crimp a small cable feral on the gas pedal side of the cable and it fit right into the slot for the factory A-Body pedal. It works great. As you know, the cable comes out of the...

I used a stock Durango throttle cable on a Hughes Big Gulp modified throttle body mounted on a deep ported Airgap. Kickdown is a factory GM cable for a 200R4. Both cables snap right in place.

I just ordered 3 - 4' by 6' sections of the double sided foil covered mat for my '68 convertible fro Speedway Motors with free shipping. I did have to add an inexpensive set of gloves to break the $99 free shipping cutoff. The last mat I had in there got wet, so I am replacing some seals and...

I used double sided. The only parts I glued on we're for the headliner. The floor and any vertical surfaces were taped with the foil tape.

Beautiful work Swing340Canuc!!! And, shoot, it was a Shultz gun, not a Dutz gun. Resto Rick's stuff is high quality.

Most of the aftermarket spray on material is water based now days. Resto Rick sells an oil based product used to simulate the factory style undercoating. I used it on my 70 E-Body to match the factory undercoating under the car using a Dutz spray gun. It came out looking amazingly close to...

Thanks guys. The foil tape used to join the sections of mat together and seal all the edges to the door itself help keep the mat in place, as does the door handle and plastic door panel on the '70 E-Body. For the overhead section, I used contact adhesive to glue the 1/2" thick mat after...

I've done several posts and responses with photos (that I no longer have) on what I've found to be the most effective process I've ever heard, seen or read about on this site and on Moparts, showing the complete process on my 1970 E-Body. I am about to do it to a lesser degree my '68 Barracuda...

If you want to really learn how to deaden sound in cars, research how they do it in small aircraft. It's enlightening.
