    Basic mechanics: how do you actually manipulate upper control arm alignment cams?

    By chrismalish

    Gentlemen, good day. Before start with messing with my caster/camber alignment at home, I was hoping someone could clarify exactly how one manipulates the alignment cams on the upper control arms (1969 Dart). I understand the theory as what they are supposed to work, but there is no explanation in the factory manual as to how one makes it happen. I have toe plates available and the Deco/Longacre bubble gauge. Does one remove the wheels to access the bolts that lock down the cams... Read more

    67 Dart, had wheel plans and then I measured

    By 67Dart270440

    My Dart came with 14" rallyes on the front and 15x6.5 rallyes on the rear. Tires are ancient, just one of many things that need addressing before I'm driving again. Whatever I do now is probably not the forever set of wheels. Think budget as in not a lot of money. I was figuring I'd pick up a pair of 15x8 rallyes for the rear and move the 15x6.5s to the front. Then I measured what I have for room in the rear. The 9" rear end measures 58.25" WMS to WMS. I have 6.25" to the leaf spring and... Read more

    Oil canning woes

    By zakimodo

    Ok, this example isn't an a body, but there is one parked in the background, hopefully that counts for something. As you can see I have a hood with a major oil canning problem. Based on other damage on the vehicle it kinda looks like a tree limb fell on it at one point in time. This was "dent" slathered over in body filler so it looks like someone in the past gave up on fixing this. Unfortunately I am having no luck chasing the stretch. Any tips you guys can provide? The black lines in... Read more

    need the correct steering u-joint

    By Dne007

    Hi;) I'm having difficulty finding a steering u-joint for my Mopar power steering gear. It's considered a 5/8 x 36 tooth, but none that I've ordered will slide on. I hear that the spline is actually 5/8 x 36 tooth with one blank spot making it a 37 tooth? Any ideas ? this gear is going in my 63 Dart, I do have an aftermarket steering column. Dne;)

    A buddy of mine got the front of his 72 Swinger crunched. I found a bumper locally for him. He'll take a 70-72 hood ( with hinges for 70-71) and a 70-72 grille. Hes not particular. He's located in Portland Oregon area. He's already contacted Wildcat Auto wrecking. Thanks in advance! Mike

    1972 Dodge Colt

    By Hyper_pak

    I just purchased this car off the interweb. If you google 1972 Dodge Hemi Colt you will find links for it for a few years. It started out for 32K, then 26K, then 16 on epay and I got it off racingjunk after I made the seller an offer. This is an original Don Hardy built Colt. Hardy built funny cars and many Pro Stock cars in the 60's thru the 80's. He built Glidden's Arrow. This is the 3 Colt I have had, all with the thought of drag racing my slant. So instead of a 426 Hemi, it will be a... Read more

    Distribution Blocks: what are you using?

    By matthon

    So, typically I buy the Painless or Summit distribution blocks, same exact blocks, depending on which is cheaper at the time. They work great, are sturdy, 1 large stud/nut and 8 points with screws. Always have one installed near the battery, and one or more under the dash. I have one mounted in the engine compartment for power. I capped the main stud with a rubber grommet and shrink wrap, but I don't like it exposed. I've tried to find a weatherproof cover, no luck, it's too large, and... Read more

    Is anyone looking for a job?

    By tom999w

    Danger, rant to follow: Over the years, the job application process went from annoying to difficult to next to impossible. And now the AI application process has just put the final nail in the coffin for companies to find good workers. AI is being used to screen job applications to find the best qualified candidates for the job. But all over the internet people are talking about how to fool the AI algorithms into getting your application to be approved by AI. So now the end result is... Read more

    Holley is recalling carbs

    By dukeboy440

    Got this in the mail yesterday. And yep, my brand new street avenger is on this list. Just a heads up for everyone. Check your stuff. Now to figure out what Holley wants me to do. It says return it to Holley but doesn’t say what happens after that, I’m guessing a repair or refund. Or replacement

    Hello From the Bay Area California, '65 A100 273

    By mitchellsk

    I've had a '78 d100 and a '74 Dart decades ago but didn't do mods really since I had a young family. I got a '65 a100 a few weeks ago. It's a SWB with the 273... cosmetically challenged and pretty original but with headers and it does running, drive, and is registered. Well until I started changing the exhaust gaskets and things may have escalated quickly, I'm not sure yet, but I'll ask questions in the support area since this is the welcome wagon. Super glad to have this van and really... Read more

    Maybe It's Just Me But...

    By RustyRatRod

    I am seeing a lot of rear main seal failures here and there both on the internet and locally. I'm beginning to think the crappy parts production has made its way to seals now. People are going back to rope seals and having success. Are any of the rest of you seeing this?

    65 valiant temp guage

    By accurep

    My ‘65 Valiant Signet, 273 V8, OEM temp guage is inop. Prior owner installed an aftermarket mechanical guage which works fine, however I would like to get back to the original. Does anyone have knowledge of the proper testing procedure of the OEM temperature guage? I know some gauges require different senders with different resistance ranges. I haven’t tried to see if I get a response from any variable resistor yet and don’t know if there might be some kind of electrical circuit... Read more

    392 & 8hp70 65 Valiant

    By V8-valiant

    Ok, after hurting another couple pistons and some sleepless nights of contemplation the turbo 408 is gone! It was a hard decision to give up on the turbo’d small block but I have decided that even when it was together and running (it was fun!) it wasn’t the vision I had for the car. So I decided to sell everything I had that pertained to a small block and 727 to help pile a stack of cash the size of the trump tower and start a Gen3 hemi build. I was tired of piecing together stuff to “make... Read more
