    66 Barracuda Front Suspension Parts

    By Heatseeker

    I have a few items I removed from my Barracuda project. May fit others, do your research. I hope someone can use them, I really don't like throwing useable parts for 60 year old cars away. Manual Steering Box $75 When I drove the car, the steering seemed to work fine. The box had very little play at the wheel. Strut Rods $35 Both rods are straight with intact threads on both ends. There is some minor wear on the shoulder areas, but I would... Read more

    Is RockAuto slipping?

    By jos51700

    I have two '93 Rams with Cummins Diesels. Both need inspected for the Killer Dowel Pin, so I ordered two front cover gasket sets from RA. One package had been opened and the crank seal stolen out of it. The other was packed on flat cardboard (different brand) and wrapped in cellophane, with the seal having been crushed and cutting the two gaskets. Both shipping boxes were perfect. Are you still getting decent parts from them, or are they scraping the bottom of the barrel more and more?

    How would you fix this hack job?

    By Qwiglee

    My firewall got hacked up to fit a HEI distributor and it looks awful. I have a new standard size distributor that I plan on installing but I am wondering if there is anything I could do about this. I was thinking maybe fill with a ton of Bondo and try and shape it to replicate the original curve. Then prime and paint with aerosol touch up paint. Any suggestions?

    Disc Brake Spindle Nut Loosened Up

    By YO7_A66

    I was driving my 70 around getting some miles on the new engine. At a constant 65mph, the front end started to shake so I slowed it down and all seemed fine. I had time tonight to pull the front wheels to check the rotor runout and the drivers side was good at .002” total and checked spindle nut while rotating and it was tight at 90 inch/lbs. I then checked the passenger side (removed dust cap, lock ring and pin) and while rotating the rotor, the spindle nut started moving. So I torqued it... Read more

    By Moparman485

    Afternoon all, Still in the process of getting my 73 dart custom with pepped up 360 back on the road. As I go through and replace parts in advance of trying to start her up, I realize that I have basically replaced every component of the ignition system except the distributor (original to the 318 it used to have) and the coil. The plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, ballast resistor, ECM (orange box), and condenser are all ready to go as new. The coil I was running was a MSD blaster II... Read more

    1973 Duster Upper Door Panels, set

    By vincla

    I am in need of the upper plastic door panels that go above the door cards for a 73 duster. I have looked everywhere and they appear very difficult to find. If available in black that’s perfect but I’ll take any decent pair and figure out how to dye them if they are available. Price and shipping to WA state 98072. Thank you! Thanks Vince

    1974 225 Slant Six and 904 automatic: $10

    By Kern Dog

    Hello. I’m parting out this rusty 1974 Duster. The slant six is MOSTLY complete, the 904 trans is untouched. The engine spun over with the starter. I do not know if it will run. It is mostly complete with intake, exhaust, carburetor, alternator, distributor and what else you see here. The valve cover and oil pan will be set aside for a fellow FABO member. The transmission is attached and included... Read more

    Timing causing hot starting issues.

    By synchro66

    Had my distributor regraphed and tech advised specs as follows: initial at 16*. Total at 34*. All in by 3800. Engine snaps to life when cold and runs beautifully. However whe it’s hot it struggles to turn over/ kicks back. This is doing my head in. Any suggestions as to how to keep 16* initial and solve the hard start issues. Thanks in advance

    Edelbrock LD 340 intake, damaged

    By CTMopar

    Edelbrock LD340 intake manifold. The left front carb mounting holes were drilled out and they put a sleeve in there that is crooked so that would need to be corrected. One of the thermostat housing bolt holes was also drilled and tapped to a larger size. See photos. $100 OBO. DM an offer plus shipping from CT.

    Speedo

    By Tommiez

    I have a 72 Dart Swinger. 318 automatic. The speedo cable comes from the transmission and at the firewall it has some sorta adapter with a wire coming out of it the. Connects to a short cable that goes to the speedo. It’s all factory and doesn’t have cruise control. Any ideas what it could be? I bought it in California believe it’s a California car.

So Now I hearing a double roller wont fit unless I use a double gasket? I have to cut the wings off the thrust plate. Could someone guide me throught the what it takes to get an... Read more

    72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5

    By myduster360

    I picked up this Swinger(318/auto) roller a few months ago down in Southern Mo. It was exactly what I was looking for. New 1/4 panels, floors and paint & ready to be reassembled the way I wanted. Plus at just $2500 I couldn't pass it up The interior is bare but I have most all the pieces as well as a console. All of it is unfortunately Green. I'll be switching it all over to Black. So my initial choice for a drivetrain was a 5.7 Hemi and TKO. But more and more I started to lean... Read more

    1971 Duster Classic Auto Air

    By Hotdogs

    I am looking for measurements from a non ac car for the two mounting points on firewall that Classic Auto Air heater box bolts to the firewall. My car was an ac car so mounting locations for heater box were different. I know that the non ac car the fan hole was smaller on the firewall but I have that figured out. Thanks for any help. I have attached the photo from the instructions for reference.

    SBM 440-W9

    By NC Engine Builder

    So since I have a habit of posting long, drawn out engine builds, I figured yall might like a peak at the next race engine project. This one is a 440 small block, with W9 heads. Starting with this pile of used junk, we will see what I can do with it. The details are a well used R3, 9.200 deck, 48° block, a set of Brett Miller prepared W9 heads, a bryant billet crankshaft and a jesel belt cam drive setup. Will be "interesting"

    64 Dart /6 gas and temp gauge aren’t working

    By SouthBay64

    Both gas and temp gauges aren’t working. They light ups but that’s about it. I had the gauges check and they work. I was told the current wasn’t running through the circuits board because it was damaged. I swapped out the board and I still don’t have working gas or temp. The fuel sending unit is brand new. So I’m not sure what to swap out next.

    383 water pump - 6 hi-flo on non AC?

    By D_Toro

    Hi all. I know 6 blades water pumps are for AC with smaller pulley and 8 blades are for non-AC with larger pulley. But I'm having issues and I think the water pump is to blame, I found this Hi-flo 6 blades on my shelf. Being high flow, would it be ok to use it in my non-AC car with the large pulley? Pic of the pump I have on the shelf for reference. Thank you.

    360 la knock at idle diagnosis

    By LukeS

    I’ve got a small block la 360 in my 71 Swinger that I bought this summer. Recently I noticed a knocking sound after a minute or two of it idling that increases as rpm increases. I pulled the transmission to see if it was a cracked flexplate or if the flexplate bolts were loose. It was neither of the two. I did notice that the torque converter has a weight welded to it and looks like the flexplate was ground down to clear the weight. I’ve dropped the oil pan and pulled rod caps and main caps...
