    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    Could it be Summit was getting complaints on the valve body and returns, now they send it to Broader and that's when the s---t hit the fan. Now, Broader realizes what has happened and knowing he doesn't sell to Summit opened the can of worms . Summit may not have realized what Speedmaster was...

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    I feel bad for the honest guy trying to make a living selling a great product that works and gets ripped off by a copy that doesn't work. Now his Co. gets the bad rap. Glad to see Summit do the right thing.

    Rock Auto discount code

    I just ordered a belt for my PS and it is coming from Texas, so almost a week away. Ordered on 4/13 and due 4/18 or the 19th. Their not sure when it'll get here. I might not have ordered it if I knew it was a week away coming from TX. The other bad part was no local parts store had it.

    Rock Auto discount code

    They sent me the code and I didn't realize I've been a 15 year customer.

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Because he wired to the wiper resistor, turn on wipers when cranking and maybe it'll fire. There's so much to learn when dealing with cars, especially when torn apart and rewired, but you did the right thing by asking and showing us what you are doing.

    thermostat water neck question

    As long as it isn't a thin cast housing and manifold is clean you'll be good to go. All those cheap chrome housings warped and were the problem of sealing and even the stock Mopar housings were warping.

    Alternator not charging

    I had a 75 Plymouth with the 100 amp alternator and at 120,000 miles had to replace the brushes for $1.00 around 1985. They were rugged alternators.

    Plastic splash guards?

    I put the rear wheel liners on my 05 Ram 1500 and they protect inner part of wheel housing and also covers the frame.

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Chrysler had a problem with the 2.2 head gaskets when they first came out in the early 80's because they were using 10mm head bolts. They then switched to 11mm bolts to solve the problem. My 83 was warranted to 50,000 miles and gasket went out at 49,000 so fortunately covered under warranty. I...

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Has anybody said why there is such a problem with the bolts failing. I have an 05 Ram with 5.7 and no manifold exhaust leak, also have 102,000 miles on it. With all the problems with these new trucks, only lease them, and since it's just a matter of time that they will breakdown, dump them back...

    2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

    Have these people just started building cars? The recalls are ridiculous, my 05 Ram had a recall on the rear pinion nut because they didn't put locktite on the nut. Then they had timing chain issues, exhaust manifold bolts breaking and of course the Hemi's with the no lubrication to the roller...

    Looking for some guidance.

    340's never had a front distributor, always in the rear. Using the oil pump tool to drive the pump engine has to rotate to open up the galleries on the camshaft bearings that distribute oil to rocker arms.

    This is probably pretty minor, but have you ever seen one of these?

    I ordered a 72 Gold Duster and never saw one in my car. Maybe Dealer kept them and sold them to make more money.

    It’s about time.

    They look better than the more common plate locking cable in. Where are they sold and do you really have to solder cable in, because with the taper on the male part it looks like it will hold the cable. Soldering the cable in would probably wind-up having solder on the threads of the male portion.

    Electrical Help Please

    Do you have a voltmeter in the car? If not put a voltmeter on battery with car running to check output of alternator should be at least 13 volts or more when at fast idle, about 1000 RPM. If you don't have a voltmeter, get one to do any electrical troubleshooting. Harbor Freight has one for...
