    Spark Plug Carnage

    Well I found out that the last owners of my newly acquired 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 didn’t believe in changing out their spark plugs. One of the plugs decided to go AWOL the other day. What do you think this 360 magnum is dealing with right now? Not too fond of non-foulers.

    Junkyard ‘68 Dart worth this much?

    Asked some people what they thought the ‘68 Dodge Dart GT vert was worth at a car show recently. Gotta say I was pretty shocked by the values. I know inflation is rampant but, this felt like B-body territory. I have done a quite a bit to it since the junkyard but, it’s still pretty ratty. 318...

    Anyone still using this Camshaft trick?

    Maybe it’s due to my age but, I had no idea a stock bumpstick could even be reground. Just took the OEM cam from a 5.2 magnum to the folks at Crower Cams for a behind the scenes look at how they do it. Anyone else regrinding their camshafts?

    Rear window louvers for... a fish coupe?

    Has anyone ever seen rear window louvers on a 2nd gen barracuda coupe? I've seen a few on some fastbacks but NEVER a coupe. I feel up to the challenge to custom fab one up but, I would really like to get an idea of what the finished look would be. I see the body lines, especially around the rear...

    Where is the Mopar?

    Had the opportunity to go to the GoodGuys autumn get together this past weekend but, I've never been let down at a car show as bad as that.
