    Hood clearance Question

    Maybe consider the 3/8 insulator instead of the spacer.

    Where to go next?

    Man I did so much riding on that beach and in the dunes. I did the last half of my senior year of high school in Arroyo Grande, but lived in Shell Beach because my Dad got transferred from Susanville CA. to the Mens Colony in SLO. We lived about 80 miles north of Tahoe in the mountains up till...

    Where to go next?

    Thanks for the encouragement. My Brother and an extended family member are going on a five day ride up north on their bikes. The Wife suggested I follow along in my car. Nah, that’s ok.

    Is my dash pad the wrong color?

    Dashpad is good, but everything else is the wrong color. Just kidding, but keep in mind that black reflects off the windshield less.

    Used to live in that area, but the Dart has never been there.

    Is this a thrust button and can it be removed?

    Yea, I saw that video. The thing is, if I was working with some of the stuff he does I would hack some of it too.

    Is it possible that the bearings you got years ago were better quality? Maybe. I take all the YouTubers with a grain of salt, and some are so hack I have to change the channel, so please don’t think I fall for everything anyone else says or does. Speaking from first hand knowledge on the...

    Where to go next?

    I have been getting in the habit of driving the Dart to a different destination each weekend. One day (doesn’t matter which) and take off for the day. Possible destinations are getting shorter these days since I have been to most of them within 200 miles. Kind of thinking ghost towns as...

    Have you seen Chris Birdsong’s video on green bearings? He REALLY hates them. Junkerup on YouTube. Found it.

    You only live once, and Life is short, so when the urge strikes...

    Nice. My Sons prude ex girlfriend worked in a salon in the same parking lot as the local Safeway store. Him and I pulled up right in front of the big picture windows, set the line lock and did a 1-2-3 shift smoke show. Kinda surprised me to hear people screaming like they did. You would have...

    Well, I’m committed now!

    A pain in the butt, but so worth it when it’s done. I had kinda the same thing happen, but it’s fixed now.

    Don’t understand why anyone would put “green” bearings in their car. Overall unreliable POS. The factory bearings are WAY better. A buddy had fairly new ones and one let go on the hiway while we were going to a car show 90 miles away. Blew gear oil all over the entire back end of his car and...

    Pls recommend source for full AC system for non-AC 1971 5.2 L Duster

    The video is on my YouTube channel, Mopars4us. My Classic Auto Air install video isn’t real detailed, but just an overall of what I did to resolve some of the small problems. CAA was excellent about support when the expansion valve was bad right out of the box. They had a new valve here in 3...
