    Catalytic Converter Problem?

    Hi 448Scamp this is the catch 22, I been trying to figure out what oil will have enough zinc for the 520 lift cam but not too much where it will be problematic for the cats, maybe someone can provide a recommendation.

    Cat Whiskers Belt Moldings, Use or Not To Use?

    Has the design of the beltline molding for A body cars changed, it seems any of the beltline moldings available at this time have this V channel as shown in the pic, where the ones on my car the rubber is completely flat as shown in the pic, actually even my Camry and Lexus have the traditional...

    Catalytic Converter Problem?

    Thanks Ccas, I just ordered a couple of Magnaflow metallic substrate converters and I'm going to do exactly that, get the car running as it should and then investigate the problem later. If my car is going to be eating converters at least the Magnaflow Converters are way cheaper then the Vibrant...

    Catalytic Converter Problem?

    The cats I'm running are from Vibrant Performance Gesi HO Series Part# 7525, the problem happened after driving on the highway for 28 miles at 60-65mph.

    Catalytic Converter Problem?

    Syleng1, not a silly question, I'd be asking the same thing. I'm a double lung transplant recipient, had the cats installed to help lessen the fumes for health reasons, wasn't an easy decision to make at the time to have these installed on a car that would never have them in the first place...

    Cat Whiskers Belt Moldings, Use or Not To Use?

    Hi, anyone using Cat Whiskers Weatherstrips on their 68 Cuda, I noticed the outter molding is different then OEM, the OEM is a straight flat piece of rubber where the Cat Whiskers one is like a u shaped channel, is this a better design then original? are these moldings easy to install? does the...

    Catalytic Converter Problem?

    Hi, I'm running dual Catalytic Converters on my 68 Cuda, I have a noise coming from the vehicle that sounds like a rattle snake or like someone shaking an empty can filled with sand or very small stones, I believe one the converters is on its way out, would you folks agree based on this symptom...

    8 3/4 Diff fluid in a 68 Cuda.

    Thank you very much 512Stroker, 66340SEDAN, Dana67Dart, I didn't want to over buy as the synthetic stuff is expensive and Keystone Automotive will not take returns on any chemical or fluids.

    68 Barracuda Front Side Marker Light

    Two locking pliers were required, it seems Chrysler put thread sealer which makes sense to keep moisture/water out, over 50 years it solidified and become more of an adhesive, making a straight forward fix not so much.
