I'll check them out, thanks guys

I am looking to chrome the front bumper of my 67 chrysler newport custom 2 dr. and live in southeast ohio. Any recommendations on good chrome shops that don't charge an arm and a leg and will stand by their work? Any horror stories to stay away from? I have talked to US Chrome in Dayton and...

I don't really need a tailgate but thanks for the offer. The truck is in really great shape, one of the best I've seen of this year. Also, I am not sure about that np435 transmission, I was just going to put a good old earlier 833 4 speed in it with the close ratio gearbox. Here is a couple...

Would you be interested in selling the 4 speed stuff only? I don't want to buy a whole truck, I have no use for anything else since mine is in such great shape

D5667 are you wanting to part them, or just sell the whole truck, or neither? Thanks

Guys, I know it's not an A body, but I have a beautiful 85 Ram with only 56,000 miles on it, 318, 2WD that I would like to convert from an automatic to a 4 speed. However, it is hard to find parts for these trucks. Does anybody have a manual parts truck, or know somebody who does? I would...

Take the booster venturies out of the primaries and clean them.......I have had very similar problems with almost new carbs that have set for a while, and have been plugged by dirt and such in the air bleeds, and different places. Clean the carb, and it runs good as new. If there is any dirt...

Ok, I had some time to play with the car friday night and here's what I found. First, I took the breather out and stole the oil fill cap off my challenger and put it in the valve cover instead. Then, I made sure the other valve cover fill cap was tight, and the pcv was as snug as it could be...

Yeah and that is very possible. The only reason I was thinking about it coming out of the breather is that it has only been on the right side of the windshield so far, not the left, and not on the firewall at all that I can tell. I just was thinking that with the 4" stroke crank and no windage...

Will check the oil pressure sender again but I didn't see any oil on the distributor clamp or there. The oil pan gasket is a milidon "tear free" gasket I believe, and it doesn't appear to be leaking on the rails or the front, I put it up on the lift and let it run for a while, the only leaking...

I've got a 75 duster with a stroked 416 that has only 100 miles on it. I assembled it myself, and the engine has edelbrock heads, ported, air gap intake, hydraulic roller cam .550/.570 lift, 236 @ .050 duration, 10.3 compression. I have a Vato Zone el cheapo chrome breather on one valve cover...

I put the Megashifter in my duster, the truck version, because it is slightly taller than the other. Mine is a 75 duster, original column shift car w/bench seat, and all I did was drilled four small holes for the plate mounting bolts, which I believe were pretty small, maybe 5/16, it's been a...

Ok guys, after a few weeks in limbo, I have finally heard back from the machine shop. They have disassembled and checked the shortblock out. The first thing he says is "We didn't find anything terribly wrong, but your bearings don't look too good". So I say "So what was the noise I was...

Ok guys, sorry I haven't updated you, but with the holidays and work travel I've been busy the last month. I pulled the engine out and stripped it down to the shortblock. After pulling the heads I immediately saw what I thought was the problem. On the number one cylinder, there is definite...

Yes, I have called them to let them know the results of the leakdown test, and told them that I didn't want to take the heads off until I talked to them, in which they agreed to take the heads off and then we'd go from there. Now, if it does turn out to be their faults, which I really can't see...
