Rough idle and stuttering from exhaust
By Maus
For my 1974 Dodge Coronet with 225 Slant Six and 1945 Holley Single barrel carburator. My Slant Six is idling rough and there are stuttering noises coming from the exhaust pipe. The stuttering is random, not like the same everytime, so it's not coming from one cylinder. Car and engine are completely stock. Car starts and runs great and accelerates great, only the idle is bad. Here's what I've already checked: - Vacuum leaks, I've sprayed everywhere with brake cleaner and that didn't make... Read more
Family fishing trip
By Silveredition
Gday all! A couple of days back I got back from a 2 - week camping and fishing trip. We towed our 1982 boat 1700km each way with my 1988 hj61 - covering g about 4000km all up! We drove straight-through each way, taking 19 hours on the way there and 18hrs 45mins on the way home. Fuel economy was about 14.5L/100km on the way there and 20L/100km on the way home (105km/hr on cruise control with airconditioner on, with a headwind!!) Here are a few trips - made possible by a fantastic car - with... Read more

Intro
By ScooterLaw
My friends call me Scooter....so hey, whats up? Been a big Chrysler fann for years. Owned a couple of '69 Chargers and a couple of 340 Dusters.....one was a badass FE5 4 speed Duster and I miss it.

68 Charger 440 Engine Noise
By Dan 440
I have a 68 Charger with a 440. I noticed last year that there was a noise coming from the engine. I had it out yesterday and when I was motoring up the highway and after I took my foot off the gas it started to backfire a little bit. Not sure if that has anything to do with the noise. But I thought it might be an exhaust leak. I hooked my smoke machine up to the tail pipes and there was no leak. Now I'm thinking it may be the rocker arms, but when I put a long screwdriver to it and listen... Read more

The canal boat
By Dusten
This will be an ongoing thread. I don't want to call it a build because I have a 10 second 700hp lightning and a 66 f100 under going a restomod. This is more of a running rally of mods and maintenance. Yesterday 11/20/2021 I purchased a 1991 HDJ81 VX limited. It was imported 12/2020 with 184,833 km's. She has a 4.2L 1hd-t and a442f. Originally painted Blue slate metallic, it was painted black while in Japan. It has the k295 axle code. So LSD read and open front. It was... Read more

Headlight doors, cable system?
By KohrtRacing
Has anyone played around with using a cable system for their headlight doors vs vacuum or electric? My application is a race car so I want to avoid both but someone online briefly mentioned a cable style pull to open. Push to close. Has anyone seen or rigged up something like this? Pic for attention.

By physixx
I have for sale a pair of new, never installed intake manifold hose nipples. One is the by-pass nipple as used on the pre-1970 engines with the smaller ¾” hose end, has a 1.5” total length.

I would like to get $8.00 for both fittings plus the shipping. Ken Edison, NJ
