    Real estate question.

    sell the locals a first right of refusal. Then you can look for a buyer and if you get a legal offer from a legitimate buyer, the locals get to buy at that price if they want it. We buy such rights in conservation work all the time.

    Kickdown issue

    Does your trans have some sort of shift kit installed? If not I would recommend one. Or better yet when you contact A&A you could get one of their valve bodies and just replace yours according to their directions. you don't even have to take the trans out - it all just happens through the pan...

    Fan clutch replacement guidance and recommendations

    get yourself an infrared heat sensing gun (I got a cheap one at Harbor Freight that works just fine). You can check the temp at the thermostat housing by the temp gauge sensor at start up through fully warmed up and you can figure out actual temps at various gauge readings. It might be that...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    I would not let that stop you. The bad guy in my story was supposedly a friend and there was no contract there either. The lawyer will let you know if there is no case.

    318 diagnosis

    When you drop in the right gaskets the clouds will part and a shaft of sunlight will fall directly on your engine (cue fanfare an angel choir in background) and I will bet all your problems will go away (at least having to to with this engine). From the sounds of the engine I bet it turns out to...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    With $70,000 into the project, I'd be looking for a lawyer and a legit shop to look at the car and assess it. A friend of mine got screwed on a car issue several years ago. He got a lawyer and ended up suing the guy and ended up with a judgement for $30,000 plus interest until the debt was...

    Those are 340/360 gaskets, the holes and the sealer should be a lot closer to the actual ports. Big port vs small port factory heads...

    Thermostat and housing

    For earlier intakes you can buy a replacement housing (straight up style) from NAPA and it comes in cast iron instead of aluminum which is much less prone to warping.

    1967 Plymouth Barracuda - Fuel tank not vented properly??????

    no check valve. You seem to have a vent system that is older than your car. up through 1970 the vent was simple and ended inside the rear frame rail. it is actually design not to vent anything out of the tank, but rather let air into the tank to balance the fuel being pumped out. 1970 CA cars...

    Kickdown issue

    OP - how many rods in your kickdown system? The thing that really has me puzzled is that everyone is giving you solutions to make sure that the lever on the trans is all the way back at WOT, but you are already achieving that, right? I agree with you - the issue isn't in the linkage. If the...

    Who's running the same size tires front and rear

    OP - I hear your issue, I just approached the spare need in a different way. 245-60-14 in back and 205-70-14s in the front. The tires are the almost same height due to difference in profile. This also makes the fronts and backs look the same when viewed from the side of the car. Then I found...

    The traction was so much better there back in the day that the Ramchargers would travel to Cecil County to set records so Dodge could use the publicity to hawk their cars.

    Thanks for all your work on this, Hawk! If you need help with anything please post a request here. I can't believe that after all these years they have moved the locations of the various cars around! Did they send you a list of classes with numbers for location?

    Voltage regulator

    Since you have been fiddling with the VR and then it runs for a while, then dies - the VR grounds through the bolts that hold it in place. If you move it around it may restore the ground for a bit, then fails. Take the VR off and make bare metal contact between the back of the VR around the...

    I'm new to the group and looking for help with a restore.

    A pair of tail light lenses that fit and work cost around $100. I would suggest that you try Van's Auto Parts - same lenses for a bit better price. The pattern in the available lenses are a bit different than a Scamp - they are repops of 1970 Dart lenses. No one repops the Scamp lenses.
