Looking for inner fender metal splash shields. Each side has one bolted to the firewall, and one behind the headlights. I have the front right headlight shield. Also, 1 long frame splash shield. Pic shows 2 short and 1 long. I need the other long shield. Not sure at the moment which side I have, I can check, but it will be the opposite shape.

Now that my car has reached the dizzy heights of 101mph in the quarter I thought it was time to pull out all the old tricks to see what effect they would have on performance. I got thinking about the intake temperatures and how hot the air must be that the carb is sucking. If it's an average day here, say 70°F in the winter and 85°F in the summer (it will get to 105°F on really hot days), the air going in the carb must be 120°+ at a guess. With my unsilenced air cleaner it has that 1" gap... Read more

Has anyone here bought the reproduction 1968 Coronet grille yet? Curious about accuracy of manufacturing, fit and finish. *edit* I believe this is an OER part. Classic industries has the natural (silver) mesh in stock (super bee) with the black mesh (coronet r/t, '69 charger 500) arriving soon.

I'm about to rebuild my 440 hp for my 67 GTX. I have used the original Pertronix ignitor for the past 15 years without any problems. I'd like to use II or III version this time if possible, but, I know in the past there have been reliability problems. Anybody have recent experience with these ignitors to share? I would really appreciate it. thx in advance. Scott

At my age I have to face reality that this is more than likely my last Mopar purchase, and probably even my last automobile purchase. I take good care of my cars and 20 years and 150K miles they are still in great condition cosmetically and mechanically. ANYHOW, I placed a deposit on this 2023 Challenger Widebody Swinger with 2900 miles. It is in Austin, Texas and I fly out at 5AM 1 September to inspect and more than likely pay for the car. Plan is to drive it back to Tucson in less than... Read more

I am in the planning stages of building a Superbird looking hotrod and thought that I would start this thread to discuss it and a wide variety of the planning details as I think it will be helpful to the process. I am starting with a 1970 Roadrunner hardtop that was a base car. Originally it was a brown on brown car, 383, AT, MS, MB non-AC, no air grabber, AM radio, etc. car. In other words I am sure it was a sales bank car that sat on a lot and was used to entice people (due to a low... Read more

Anyone here with experience running the Carter cheaters carburetors on a stock Hemi intake in 66 and 67 or beyond. Most people associated them with the 67 RO/WO cars, but they came out as an over the counter race carb 9 months before the 67 cars were produced. According to all the race and performance documents they were meant for the stock manifold and jetted accordingly. NOT Modified to OPEN plenum. Vanke intake didn't exist yet. Curious of the results, and how you modified the... Read more

Got a deal on a good 727 smallblock transmission and thinking about swapping out the original 904 tranny. Do I have to shorten the propellershaft in order to make it fit for my car? Different yoke? Plymouth satellite 69 318/904 and 8 1/4 rearend

Good morning, I stalling leaf springs and asked Google for torque specs. I always double check the Assembly Manual. For the front shackle Pivot bolt there's a huge difference. Google says 40 ft lbs and Assembly Manual says 125 ft lbs. Figured I'd triple check Picture as I know we all like pics Thanks Ross

Winner Winner / Chicken Dinner! My Grandson Logan won a coveted 75 Anniversary Diamond Wally at the Tucson Divisional a number of month. He was the only member of the family to have won one. Now at Bakersfield, i just won SS/NA with my 80 Aspen 318. My opponent put up a great .006 in the final but I was pretty confident that our car is arguably the fastest in our class in the country. The Aspen loves to race against Small Block Chevrolets

I know...and I'll sign up for wranglerforum here soon. But, thought i'd ask the B-body crowd if there were any TJ Jeepers out there. Just picked up a rock-solid '06 with the 4.0 and a 6 speed stick. Hard top, full doors, bone stock except for 31x10.5's and a crappy aftermarket radio. It's red...not my favorite, but given the low miles (99k), rock-solid frame and floors, and decent price...I'll live with the red. One owner Jeep, one accident in '07 (right front, set off the bags but I... Read more

Hunter Remains in Critical Condition After Farting in Sleeping Bag A Wyoming hunter remains in critical condition after authorities say he farted inside his sleeping bag sometime early Thursday morning and failed to establish adequate ventilation. According to witnesses, the man had eaten two gas-station burritos, a bag of spicy pork rinds and what he described as most of a can of chili before climbing into a zero degree mummy-style sleeping bag and completely zipping himself inside...

I grew up around Mopars. Cars in general I guess. My first car was a 66 383 charger then I moved on to a 70 Duster 340 bench seat three speed on the floor, then a 383 1965 satellite and now a 62 Savoy. I have some parts left over and a couple of them I'm having issues figuring out what they're worth. The side moldings for the front fenders I have four and I have two of the Chrome housings for the hood ornament and the pump for the windshield washers, it may be off of a fury or Belvedere ...

I have one on my 440. I just installed a new fuel pump and pushrod today. I'm getting 3 psi. The Carter 4589 pump should put out 4-5.5 psi.

I believe this is from the 1960s direct connection catalogue. It’s been installed in a car and has the spackle from the trunk still on it. Don’t know if they ever made a factory car with one in it but I know they were offered for sale outright it’s in good shape. I’m not sure if the plastic cover came with it the tray? Does fit like it did but looks good installed ... Read more

I have watched a few good movies lately since the TV channels have just about nothing but re-runs - even all the good re-run shows like Gold Rush, Wheeler Dealers and the Kilcher family in Alaska are getting thin on the ground. Anyway - 1. Brad Pitt in the movie 'Bullet Train' is hilarious as a spy/assassin comedy - set in Japan mostly on board the high-speed bullet train. Highly recommended. Typical fast-paced action with lots of comical scenes and cartoonish images smattered... Read more

So I have been acquiring a pile of new and used parts in the last couple weeks for my 413 project. When you start with a bare block you have A LOT to buy! Earlier this week I bought a pile of stuff from a local guy… he has two large buildings full of big block parts. I got oil/fuel pumps, water pump and housing, pushrods, nuts and bolts … whole cr@p load of parts. Tomorrow I pick up some new ARP head bolts. The seller has a bundle of other parts intended for his old 426 project… I will... Read more

Hi, Just dropped my numbers-matching 70 RR 383 off at the machine shop for a rehab. Planning on removing the 484 purple shaft cam and the 11:1 TRW's and replace with top-end and cam from 440 Source which is a little more streetable. Only 20k since a rebuild in the 80's so the cylinders look good. Hopefully just needs a hone. Looking for a nice driver with enough vacuum to power the brakes & drive to car shows with a little lump in the idle. Torn over Headers or repro manifolds... Read more

Ok, it's not a 440. It's stroked to 496 with aluminum heads and has a 6 pack set up - about 550 hp. It was getting hot - around 220. I clean/flushed the radiator ( 3 core) and put a few holes in the thermostat - still hot. I then bought a new high volume water pump and it cooled it down a little but over 200. Now I'm looking at the fan clutch - it moves with little resistance when cold, and then I started it for a few minutes to get it hot and it seems like the resistance is the same... Read more
