I honestly can't tell by pictures and can't find existing threads about that. Just curious because I like the 1973 style better. Existing = 1974 318 2 door. Thanks.

Espo had heavy duty '74 Dart springs for $250 a couple weeks ago, if that helps. But I am ordering some KYB shocks from PST today.

I mess with programs like Acid for sampling and mixing, though I've played drums myself since the 80s. It's kind of similar to, yeah, I'd like to have the skills to design and build the ultimate muscle car from scratch. But for now I just make do with cars and parts others have designed and...

Some 90s like Butthole Surfers, NiN, Nirvana, some classic rock like Hendrix, Joplin, Airplane, some blues like BB King and Coltrane, some oddballs like Johnny Cash, but mostly punk: Sex Pistols, Ramones, Black Flag, Buzzcocks, Clash, Iggy Pop, Social Distortion...

Anarchy in the UK, Sex Pistols Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong, various covers Hurt, NiN, Johnny Cash version Ooh Child, Five Stairsteps Kansas City, various covers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU

You still want to do oil and vacuum intake too, but now I've seen the seafoam site seems to say if you use it in oil the first time, it should be as a pre-service cleaner and drive it 30-100 miles, then change the oil since it's going to be dirtier after this initial use. Then after that it's...

I see. If you tow a lot, are you still using air shocks to hold car weight pulled down by a trailer, and is it better to just keep a higher ride with leaf springs? Sorry if I'm being anal, just paranoid of messing things up if the occasion arises since I'm also a newb at all this.

I read elsewhere online they sent some springs that sagged right away, but most replies to that were espo was good to work with and they would just replace them with no hassle. Don't have experience with them myself though.

Yeah that's what I hear. But if you shouldn't use air shocks to lift, I'm not sure I'd use them at all in favor of regular shocks, I don't know of any other advantages they have.

I was going to have air shocks do the job since it's easier and cheaper until I kept reading about mounts breaking and expensive damage so it scared me off. Maybe they had rusty mounts or something and didn't check first, dunno.

From what I understand it removes the junk which is then burned off through the exhaust system as evidenced by the white smoke, so I don't know if it matters to change the oil. I never read that you can just pour it in without running to circulate until you get some smoke, and carbon sits there...

Yesterday I put a whole can into the brake booster vacuum. I didn't let it stall, I let it suck down slowly. Let it set 20 minutes, throttled up to about 4000 until the white smoke came. When it cleared I eased off, more white smoke. Same thing all the way down until there was no more smoke...

Most things I read say leaf springs are supposed to support the car weight, while using air shocks to go beyond what the springs can lift eventually bust the shock mounts. Sounds risky... 1968FormulaS340 and pntastar69 pretty much saying the route I'm taking, plus dartley in saying don't go...

As for me (and maybe hamsterhats, don't know), I was thinking of just a few inches, my rear fender trim comes just below the raised white letters, I like the look of front and rear about an inch above letters with a little tire still behind the fender. Not really "stinkbuggy" but just so it...

I wanted to do the same since my '74 Swinger kind of looked like grandma's car when I bought it last year. On my front, you can lower counter- or raise clockwise with the torsion adjusting bolt. Basically you can bounce the front hard a few times to settle it, measure both sides, raise or...
