Good point on the steering! My PS pump does whine if you go to either lock, but these sweeping turns are not locked to either side

See the photo below of my dipstick. Very dark and burnt smelling. Ignore the fill level, this was moments after it ran

I added the amount listed in my Chilton guide, can't recall exactly how much... Same as when i add oil to my Dune buggy VW, I add oil and make sure the mark is in the middle of the 2 hashes when dead cold

Okay, investigation largely complete. Photos of plugs, valve cover, and restrictor attached. Here's a series of events I belive contributed. (all like six months ago) I installed a new mechanical fuel pump as I suspected the old one was leaking into the crank case Oil changed After I put in...

Alright alright, I'll check it out. Is there any chance it would slow down my engine during a turn? Especially during tight or continuous turns in the last few months, the engine wants to die at low revs while turning the car

? I will get under but like.... You understand if it was leaky, it would be on the tray? "what if it only leaks going down the road" And what if the tooth fairy is stealing it??

I should have led with that.... No oil leaks, it's parked over a trap and there's no oil in there.

Hello all. I've been enjoying my dart all winter until today, when I briefly got an oil warning light while stopping. It came on for maybe a second. I checked my oil after I got home and found it was gone! Just a smudge on the end, under the low end, black, and smelling of gas. No coolant or...

Sorry - Slant 6, 225cc, torqueflite automatic push button. 64 Dart GT. Rear end is original, don't know what size though.

Hey all, I have a vibration that sort of comes on and gets really bad at particular RPMs. It happens in neutral as well. Without a tach, I can't say quite what RPM, but it's easy to reproduce at 50MPH in 3rd gear. More gas makes it go away, less gas makes it go away. I believe my motor mounts...

See the photo. My trans is happily leaking heaps of fluid from the area circled. The little cylinder, which is typically covered by the rotted rubber sleeve, is sliding in and out freely if I push or pull it. Fluid is dumping out from the joint of the black cable to the back our the cylinder as...

1964 dodge dart gt hardtop 2 door The drivers side of my car appears to sag lower than the right. I've never done any suspension work before, so I'm not sure what components would be best to start checking. Front left makes quite a pronounced squeak when lifting the bumper up and down. If I...

1964 DODGE DART GT - 2 door hardtop. Sorry about that

Hey all, See photos below... I have the trim piece that's supposed to go in this section, but I believe the clips are missing or rusted off..... Unless it's supposed to push under them? I want to get it on there and looking good. Any advice?

Hey all, My slant 6 225 is running heaps better now that I've completed a proper valve lash. HOWEVER, it seems that there is still a bit of blowby and I'm smelling gas in the Oil. I haven't confirmed a fuel pump internal leak yet, thought it's possible. My Hobo Fright compression test...
