Interesting!! The petroleum jelly is something that would have not crossed my mind. Excellent

Hi everyone, doing some research as I'm installing new cam bearings on my 400 stroker. The question i have, is who is lubing the cam bearing outside diameter before installing? It feels like the bearings being oversized to achieve a press fit, it shouldn't matter? The input I've read almost...

All very good points, thank you again all. I'm aware of the 67 and earlier iron pumps and the later aluminum being different, thanks for a big heads up on what could be trouble with confusing the 2! The heater hose nipples are another good call...I'm sure most of us at 1 point have tried to not...

Hi everyone... I figured I'd like a little feedback regarding my Barracuda and a leak that has sprung up. 1st, the car is a 67 Notch with a near bone stock 273. I have added a Champion aluminum rad and a small block Mopar clutch fan. It also runs a 185 t-stat. The cooling system now has run...

I couldn't believe my wife wanted another one after what I called her 1st dreadful one a "hot dog cart". The power while not being good, is only sadder if you think about how it has more power than the original line. I HATE the auto stop feature, I'm sure a whole thread could be written about...

I'm no help on this car but I'm in the Cleveland area and I've never seen this car, and it's certainly an eye catcher! Good luck with the search, maybe someone else knows of it.

I had actually forgot about it, but a few months back I too had tried their online recommendation form and never heard back. I received an email stating they received it and would be reviewing, but never a response. I was just toying with some numbers so it didn't hold me up on anything, but I...

I too agree with the spring needing to be the adressed area and to get rid of the air shocks. I'm a total cheap skate, and on my Challenger the rear tires lack just enough back space, so the tires would just rub the fender lip. The thought of those air shocks bleeding out and cutting a tire at...

I have done a kit from PST for my Challenger, and it cam pretty complete, i don't recall needing anything additional for the install, but what I did learn was I should have bought offset ball joints, as I could get close but not enough camber for a "modern" alignment if I remember correctly...

Not a personal experience but I knew a guy who tried a set of the electronic cut outs and 1 hung up all the time and he said they tended to leak. I thought about them and reconsider after in reality I probably wouldn't use them often.

I run their 400 block .030 over for 499 ci kit and have had zero issues. The balance is right on nice and smooth. That combo is in my Challenger and have driven back and forth to Carlisle from Cleveland no problem and get to the track a couple of times a year or simple TnT stuff. Just did a comp...

I would have to agree with the idea that you have to "thin the heard" despite the attachment you get to your projects. And I totally understand that thought, I get the same way. I have 2 running cars, and I take car of my Brother's car, and even just getting them out can be a juggling act. You...

Yes this is still a cheaper option than buying a new one outright!

Yep, just saw it this summer. Off a brand name flywheel too!

Greg is a great guy and it was my pleasure to help out. Thanks again all for the kind words and the smile on your face was all I needed during the test drive! That's a really nice Dart he has! The hobby has been good to me and I enjoyed the weekend.
