    Fan shroud and Desert Cooler radiator.

    By FlamesAreWicked

    I put a Desert Cooler aluminum radiator from Classic Industries in my 68 Dart small block car. No complaints other than that there is no place to mount a fan shroud. It’s built exactly like my original one except for the lack of mounting points for a shroud. My car isn’t a factory AC car so I don’t think my car came with one originally anyhow. I intended to put one since my original radiator had the provisions to do so. So I bought a factory repop of the one that was available for my car... Read more

    65 Cuda Commando Air Cleaner Clearance

    By MonkeyTrev

    I am building a 318 as a 273 commando clone for a 65 barracuda. I know the factory commando intake is a single plane flat intake. I am kinda wanting to run a late model 340 dual plane. Is there any issue with hood clearance when running a taller 340 intake, Carter or edelbrock carb, and the factory chrome commando air cleaner? I am not looking for anything crazy power. The car is going to be just a fun weekend cruiser for the family. I really wanted to try and hunt down a Holley... Read more

    Does anyone know where this insulation goes?

    By tom999w

    For my '71 Demon, I pulled these two pieces out from somewhere but don't remember where they go. I looked on the web for replacements but don't see any that match up with the shape. The yellow one is pretty much shredded but the dark one is pretty much intact. There's also a hole punched in it for maybe an optional something. The angry cat in the picture is for size reference.

    By Dusty 997

    This low mileage Complete 1969 440 and 727 transmission out of a Chrysler New Yorker popped up over the weekend and me and my brother drive about 5 hours to snag it and bring her back to her new home!

Not gonna get too crazy with it, but it should definitely... Read more

    My A-bodies from the Netherlands say hi!

    By Dano's garage

    Hi my name is Dano, 26 years old and a long time lurker from the Netherlands. Pictured you will see my first car, a 1967 Plymouth Valiant 2dr, and my most recent purchase, a 1971 Dodge Dart Custom GT. I restored the Valiant together with my dad (swapped the slant six and build a 273 4speed) and it is currently my daily driver. The Dart is a true Belgian barn find, tucked away for over 40 years, and now I've challenged myself to make it roadworthy again! 225 slant six, GT package... Read more

    Need some help on initial timing.

    By Roadhunter

    So I have been struggling most of the summer trying to get my Cuda back on the road. Initially it was the lifter issue. Got everything back together and I had no spark. Did a little research with AI and that went south quick. When the motor was cranking the voltage was dropping to 7.5 volts on the power wire that was supplying the Ready to Run MSD distributor. I think that I was given some wrong info and toasted the ignition module as I was not getting any spark. I bought an MSD 6AL thinking... Read more

    Putting everything back in the dash - order of installation?

    By Supercar

    I've been pulling everything out of the dash and getting everything fixed up over the last year or so. While I have all the the parts, screws, bolts and hardware labelled, I was wondering if the below sounded like the right way to put everything back in, with the least amount of hassle. Here is what I was thinking: - Speaker with bracket - Defroster vents and attach hoses to vents - Heater/blower motor controls - Dashpad - Instrument cluster and hook up wiring. - Radio - Ashtray -...

    5x4" Drum to Disc Brake conversion

    By Dare Dart70

    Hi everyone, new to the group. I was hoping to just replace the front and rear drum brakes with new drums and shoes but finding 10" drums is not easy, also none of the front drums have a wheel hub and don't want to try and reuse my current ones. I assume that could work but not the best idea. Does anyone have any idea where one can buy new drums and shoes I need 10x2-1/4" (front) and 10x1-3/4"(Rear)? The other thought I had was doing a disc brake conversion for all 4, but wanted to... Read more

    prepping the seats...the burlap...

    By Miranthis

    I have been disassembling the front seats of my 66 Barracuda. Also watched the Legendary Auto Interiors videos on seat and seat foam prep. The original burlap covering on the springs bases has small wires threaded into the burlap from left to right, and the burlap is made in more of a mini version of the seat cover as opposed to just throwing some burlap over the top of the springs. Is the wiring or the more expansive cover of burlap important, even if inconvenient to do so?

    518/500 OD Shift Kit??

    By mopowers

    I'm in the middle of a 46rh/A518 build for my Dart and was initially planning on buying a CRT manual valve body. After giving it more thought, I think a Transgo shift kit would suffice. I like the idea of having manual control that the TFOD-3 provides, so that's likely what I'll go with. Is there any reason I should opt of the TFOD-HD2 kit instead (other than the obvious auto-shifting)? I'm not super familiar with these OD transmissions.

    Slant intake manifold ID help

    By bb66cuda

    I have this intake manifold which I believe is a Lynx that currently has 3 1.5 SU carbs on it. I’m trying to figure out if that was what was originally was supposed to be bolted onto it. Has a homemade aluminum plate since the bolt holes don’t line up on the carbs. Any input would be appreciated.

    Newbie here

    By Reginald

    Hi it's Reg. I have a 72 Valiant that needs help. Car has been stored in a heated garage for over 25 years covered in a tarp. It does not start. Good tires put on so it can be towed to a garage. I am not much of a car enthusiast so don't know what is wrong. Boosting won't help. I will need a garage that is close to Ballinafad Ontario that is reputable to work on it. Must be someone who knows this type of old car well. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ballinafad is just west of... Read more
