    Monroe gas-matic shocks FAILED in 2500 miles!

    By timk225

    I did a suspension job on my 1973 Duster this past weekend. Had to pull out the lower control arms, remove and re-grease the urethane lower bushings because the idiot "mechanic" didn't use enough grease, and he used the wrong grease. The bushings popped and creaked a LOT on every little move of the front suspension. Mostly on the right side, but once I fixed it and it was quiet, I noticed the popping from the left side. While I was at it, I used my Dremel grinder to greatly enhance the... Read more

    Steering wheel install issues 1968 Barracuda

    By Stumpy

    I finally broke down and one of PG Classics reproduction rally steering wheels for my 68 Barracuda. I've got a number of issues to deal with to install this wheel. I thought I'd tap into the collective consciousness to see what people have done. The first issue is the turn signal cancel ring on the wheel is in the wrong position to engage the turn signal switch cams. It needs to be moved about 90 degrees. My question is how to do this without damaging the copper contact plate for the... Read more

    1974 Duster Instrument Panel

    By Kern Dog

    I’m parting out a 1974 Duster and have this complete instrument panel. It is complete and intact but will need to be cleaned up. All gauges are in place. No broken ends. The clear plastic can be polished to look new. I do not know if these work. The unit looks like it has not been out of the car since new. $45 plus shipping. Packing these takes time if you want to receive them intact... Read more

    Gear Oil

    By 340six

    I normally use regular dinosaur 75-90 with a bottle of suregrip additive even though it says for limited slip. It's what I have always done. But saw some 75-140 Synthetic at lower cost than "Dino" Thoughts on using thicker 75-140? Synthetic?

    '68 Dart GTS parked on the street in NYC since the '70s

    By rmchrgr

    This '68 GTS 340 has been parked on the Lower East side of Manhattan since the early 1970s. When I lived in the city back in the '90s-'00s I would see it all the time but I never thought to take any pictures of it until yesterday. It's a fairly big deal to see a mostly original GTS out in the wild anywhere, not to mention parked on the street in lower Manhattan. It's survived blizzards, blackouts, floods and 6 decades of NYC life. My good friend who grew up in the next neighborhood told me... Read more

    67-70 black button door handles

    By Righty Tighty

    I have a pair (driver and passenger) of chrome exterior door handles, black button. I bought these here for my '68, not going to use them. I believe they are Mopar reproduction, only part number I can find is 35970. To the best ofy knowledge, they'll fit '67-70 A bodies and some B bodies. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Both handles are in near perfect cosmetic condition, some very small imperfections/blemishes in the chrome. I did my best to show those in the photos. I'm asking $85... Read more

    La 360 head identification

    By BADXMPLE360

    I'm restoring a 70 Duster, and it has had more curveballs and I'm stumped on the heads. The engine is a 79 360, but the heads I don't believe go to the block. The casting is 348915-A. These were supposedly 70-73, the valves appear to be 2.02/1.60 valves but by 1974 they dropped to 1.88/1.60. Next to the plug a very faint O it looks like. Here are some pics. There is a 74 number and a 11K. The casting number wasn't used in 74 from what I found. ... Read more

    Converter problems?

    By DARTLARRY

    I recently purchased a converter from Coan, I gave them all my information they asked for. They recommended a 3000-stall, I told them I wanted it to be tight, this is just a cruise around car. The converter is installed now, and I have never had a performance converter in a car before, so I may be expecting something more from it based on other people's experiences. When I put it in drive or reverse it drops right in fine and the car will move when I let off the brake, when the pedal is... Read more

    State Farm/Hagerty Classic Car Insurance

    By str12-340

    So I've been converting my old State Farm Classic Car Insurance over to the policy in partnership with Hagerty. I really like the idea of having Hagerty dealing with claims assessment and repairs since that is what they specialize in. The old State Farm policies for these cars are going away. One thing that I almost missed is the "Cherished Salvage" rider. The default is that Sate Farm will pay you the full guaranteed value on the car, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE TOTALED CAR BACK FROM THEM IF... Read more

    Caviar dreams on a beer budget

    By NC Engine Builder

    Maybe this post/rant should be titled "life in the automotive business" I just need to rant here for a second, it seems amazing to me that as small as the internet has made the world, people can sometimes be so ill-informed. I had a potential customer reach out, inquiring about a 408 "race" engine that blew up, and wanting it rebuilt. Cool. (ME) Not a problem. What's your goals? (Mr customer) says, run 9s in the 1/4 mile, make 700 hp and be capable of maybe a 250-300 shot of nitrous. (ME)... Read more

    High Idle Issue on 650DP Magnum 360

    By jmanhoff

    Hi all, I've finally caved and decided to ask for help lol. I have a very mild built 360 Magnum that I've thrown into my 92 Dakota and carb swapped. I've been chasing a very annoying issue for a long period of time and have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Simply put, my engine idles at 1000rpm, which for one is loud but also causes it to diesel on shutdown. I'll do an info dump at the bottom of this post for all of the specs but its a very mild 360 Magnum, 650 Holley double... Read more
