I’ll have to check the Simi Valley Cruise out. Can you shoot me some info on it? I’ll have to check the Simi Valley Cruise out. Can you shoot me some info on it?

Ahh I meant August haha. I’ll pm you the details!

Nice cars!!! There is an old convertible Valiant for sale right by Ventura High. I keep thinking of asking him if he will sell me his mirrors haha.

Sweet ride!!! Got a little neighborhood car show at the beginning of June if you want to stop by with or without your classic.

When I would go to use my turning signal my horn would honk. Just a light tap would set it off. Same with if I applied any pressure to my steering wheel. Figured I was completing the circuit internally so I used a steering wheel puller to see what was going on. As you can see I came upon a lot...

Thank you! Really appreciate that! Here are a couple...not the best at photographing my car yet.

I was curious how many guys out there live in Ventura. I have had my first classic for nearly 6 months and while driving around haven’t ran into much Mopar at all. I was hoping I could meet up with some people in my area at some point for their knowledge or even just to go on cruises. Appreciate...

Haven’t seen much Mopar around my town. Mostly Chevy boys. Hoping I ended up meeting someone in my area that can help me out. This is my first classic. Had her for almost 6 months. For now I will keep counting on all the guys on FABO!

So next on my list for my 64 Signet is the front suspension. I think the only thing that has been touched ever is the addition of KYB shocks. The rubber seals have seen better days so I am assuming it would be a good move to do a front suspension replacement? I saw rebuild kits like this one and...

I am going to be servicing the brakes on my ‘64 Signet 200. It seems the bolts have a swage holding the drum on. I have read on one of the forums that people grind or cut these off? Any recommendations? I can’t find anything in the service manual about it.

So the noise has been fixed. The rotor indeed was hitting the contacts in the cap. The 1/8 inch of vertical play on the cam was allowing this to occur. To fix this I made a washer to set under the spring clip. Funny enough this washer was made out of a water bottle cap just to make sure my...

After all the information from you guys I pinpointed the noise to the rotor hitting the contact points in the cap for sure. If around an 1/8 inch of vertical play is normal for a cam on a distributor than I am thinking I could have the wrong cam or perhaps the wrong rotor? I am thinking I will...

So I am fairly sure the shaft has been worn down over the years where the spring clip rests which has given the vertical play I am experiencing. Or I have the wrong clip. Now I am trying to figure out if I can find/make a bigger clip spring to fill the gap or if I need to get a new shaft. Any...
