    School me - Do modern flat tappet cams/lifters need high-zinc oil?

    "Even with modern cams and Metallurgy"? Especially with modern cams and metallurgy, you must use high-zinc oil. "Modern metallurgy" has gotten significantly more inconsistent. Reconsider your reservations on using a roller cam- but whatever you do, do not compromise on the oil.

    Dorman master cylinder for manual disc/drum brakes?

    To recap and elaborate on the same answers you got in your previous threads: 1973-76 A body master cylinder, manual disc brake; although many people prefer the 15/16 bore master over the factory 1 1/32 bore. Your call. Use the distribution/proportioning valve from the Volare. Use the lines from...

    '63 Valiant V200 cargo bay cover

    It's a pic I finally found after a LOT of internet scrounging... I've been slowly piecing together the whole kit 'n kaboodle, too. The jack/jack hook was the hardest- an A body wagon-only piece. Some of the rest I've found digging through "mystery boxes" at swap meets, but it's slow going.

    Mopar 8 3/4 axle shaft

    No, no, NO! Wheel adapters fit outside of the drums. YOU CANNOT USE BIG BOLT PATTERN DRUMS ON SMALL BOLT PATTERN AXLES!!

    Mopar 8 3/4 axle shaft

    No, the bolt patterns are different. All you did was change the stud size- you did NOT change the bolt pattern. You still have a 4" bolt circle. There is no way to make a 4.5" bolt circle drum fit that. Additionally, as I said previously, the center registers are different sizes between the...

    Magnum lifter removal ?

    Good to know. I know retrofit rollers don't come out of a LA block (which have shorter lifter bores) with the heads in place, but I wasn't positive about the factory rollers in a Magnum. Never had occasion to try.

    Mopar 8 3/4 axle shaft

    Did you have the axles redrilled to the big bolt pattern, or just drill the axle holes to accept the larger studs? If you changed the pattern, then you still need to use the small bolt pattern drums; and you need to have the original drums redrilled to match. The different flange offset in...
