    Headlight switch drama

    Yes, until Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 took effect on 1/1/68, then the parkers had to stay on with the headlamps so oncoming drivers could still see the width of your car after a headlamp burnout at night. It was here (or one of the other times I posted it), along with E-Z...

    What to do with vapor lines when running a holley 390 on a cliffford intake ?

    That's a bit of a toughie any more, as Chrysler 4713551 and Standard CP3167 are disco'd. I'm looking at this one and suspecting it'd do fine, and it would also be a lot easier to mount than the original round kind. No separate bracket required, and its flat-pack design would take up less room...

    Center drag link, are they really $600? 1964 dart

Showroom-perfect low-miles Darts and Valiants can be picked up for $2,000, any parts you might need are in stock at any parts store or dealer, the wrecking yards are full of dirt-cheap used parts, and it's going to stay that way for...

    How To Make a Car Difficult to Steal: 1. Drive a Mopar with pushbutton automatic. They might get it started, but odds are they won't get it into gear. 2. Be Biff Tannen. Only he knows how to start his '46 Dodge.

    Donno where to send you instead, but Classic Industries is a garbage company selling garbage parts at LOLROFL prices. They're on my always-avoid list.

    Engine dies when warm

    That '70-'72 choke thermostat's pushrod was meant to hook to a Holley 1920 or Carter BBS (final bend at the carb end of the choke pushrod is to make it point forward). The Holley 1945 carb on your engine requires a choke pushrod with its final/uppermost bend making it point rearward. Bends below...

    Slant Six Carb Issues

    Well, yeah, fair. My point is that the current-production pumps for Slant-6s are improperly-built garbage. This would be a better pick. Budgets are budgets, and dollars that don't exist don't exist, but "cheapy" and "fuel delivery system" can easily add up to "suddenly hideously expensive".

    Slant Six Carb Issues

    Well…yeah, you could shove a cork in the tailpipe and kindasorta stop the exhaust smoke, or you could fix the actual problem: it's time for a fuel pump built to correct specifications.

    One doesn't follow from the other. You can keep or delete the EGR as you wish, regardless of your evap setup (vapor can/purge valve/etc).
