    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Thanks! I have an exhaust nut that was soft and decided to round itself when I tried to remove it. Forgot I had those in my stash. Gonna have to go give it a try.

    Is there really a difference..??

    Yep, I was wrong. It's been a minute since I dealt with SB intakes and got them mixed up. I meant to say what Rob said.

    Is there really a difference..??

    LD4B is an aluminum version of the stock intake manifold. I wasn't sure about the port size.

    which springs for a purple shaft cam

    I've used stock springs multiple times with no issues. There may be better options, but they've worked fine for me.

    MoPars Left For Dead

    This one gave some parts to another car I put back on the road. It had sat for at least 30 years when I picked it in 2017.

    That's why you only cover half, then figure out if you need more, or less.

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    My folks bought an 1986 Audi 500s, first new car they got. Bought two or three extended warranties, and used the living crap out of them. We had it for around a decade, and finally sold it when the cost to keep the hydraulic cylinder full was too much. I still remember the guy who bought it...

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    We had the original battery in the 2012 Charger me and my ex had. What a pain in the *** with all kinds of options not working. New battery and food as new. That said, I don't use auto start, she relied on it.

    Damn! What happened to turn key, put in drive? I live in the sticks, so I rarely lock any vehicles.

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    Most of my pre 2000 junk was the most reliable stuff I driven. POS Geo Metro I got for a case of beer was dependable and cost nothing to operate. Granted I would have died if I hit a squirrel. Most of my 70's stuff was good with minimal maintenance, and would go through most trees without as...

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    I don't, unless I'm in my daily, then I do. In old rides and the new toy, I have an engine to sing it's song to me.

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    I've had heated seats before, didn't use them much, but that cooling feature has been really nice the couple times I've used it. My Scat Pack is a Plus, but has the base radio with no sub, and I hardly ever use it. When I do, it's more than enough for rne, just another sign I'm old.

    I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

    I agree, the public buys what is out there, but I also disagree, in that the automakers put unnecessary crap in vehicles that we don't need, but help drive up costs therefore profits, that the public then buys because it's out there. No in orders a car like they did in the 60's or 70's. It's...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Not today, but yesterday. I got to replace a lower radiator hose on my 2008 Town & Country in a parking lot, while laying in the puddle it created! I was two hours from home, but luckily my parents live close by, so my dad was able to cart me around to get the parts and tools I needed.

    1967 Dart Value help please

    I paid $2k for a similar car way back in 2001, but it was only a 270, not a GT. That's about what I'd pay for the car you are looking at.

    What appened to the "Nats"

    I went for twelve years straight from 2000 to 2011, even got a tattoo with Bruce Rd forever in it. Need to put some tombstones by that line. I'm glad I got to see it in its funner times with all the burnouts all over the place. Once they moved the cruising to Hebron or wherever, it was never...

    Just Weighed My Barracuda Notchback For The First Time

    My '66 Polara came in at 4200 lbs when I weighed it at work. Our scale goes in 10 lb increments. If I ever get an engine with some better HP, it would be fun to give some B bodies a run.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Even though I love Cragar's, I have a set of G/T's on my Polara 500, I wasn't feeling it with this car. So, I went and got a set of 15" slots for it! The car will be back to the way it should be, with radials on slots. I need to get new center caps, it came with truck style caps..

    Opinions Wanted

    I have seven old vehicles, after owning most of them for several years, only one will get painted. I'd rather drive a Scruffy car, than not drive them because they need paint. My favorite car is probably the worst one of the bunch. I'm about to put engine number five in it, and I could care less...

    1967 Dodge Dart GT 273 worth anything

    I paid $2000 for a Dart way back 26 years ago, and it still needs everything. Consider the car a core, so to speak. As long as the parts are all there, you can redo it all, or have it redone. It's gonna be a money pit no matter what but you can save a ton doing things yourself. I'd buy it for...

    Coke would be an improvement over that, uh, stuff you call beer. :poke:I've only ever had one, and that was one too many. But I had it at Steve's house, so at least I had it in the proper setting.
