    Crank bolt

    I know this is a stupid question but I'm going for it. I do need a crank bolt, correct? The reason I ask is I have a new Mopar crate 5.9 and there isn't a crank bolt. I wasn't sure if this was a magnum thing or it was removed by the previous owner. If in fact it does need a crank bolt, and I'm...

    65 speedometer

    Well after a little research I see that my speedometer appears to be from a 1971 Charger. My car is a 64 Cuda that was a mild custom. Part of that custom was changing the gauge cluster to that of a 65 and I guess to get the 150 mph speedo they went with the 71 Charger. I never even relized that...

    65 speedometer

    I'm putting my gauge cluster back together after being apart for yrs and I must have removed the tape from behind the rectangular opening at the 75 mph mark. Am I correct that this opening is the high beam indicator and what color is it when its on high beams? The tape over the opening was red...

    Okay, what am I doing wrong? I have two radios that I'm trying to bench test. I have them hooked up to a car battery, lights are working. I have a car speaker hooked up as well as an antenna. No sound from the speaker except crackling when I first touch the wires to the speaker. What am I...

    Magnum crate help

    Picked up a Mopar crate that was advertised as new and it does appear unused. Seller states its a 380hp version. The yellow sticker at the rear of the block is unreadable. Serveral questions come to mind. I noticed that the crate motors come with an LA style timing cover. Does this mean that the...

    leaking oil

    Motor sat upside down for months on engine stand....oil drained. Took off the exhaust manifolds and there was a bunch of oil here on the pass side...no other ports on either side. Is this a prob or normal.

    The Next in Line.

    YES build it! Just what I would love to do to my 64...just don't have the skills or money! I am planning to radius the rear wheel wells, just trying to figure the best way. Anyone know where I can get 1/2 steel tube mandrel bent into a 30 inch radius? Love that old school look.

    72 swinger sl6 w/ac. I replaced the heater core, hoses and thermostat (195). No heat, noticed that the hose going into the heater core is hot on both sides of the water valve but cold going back to the pump. Temp gauge is dead center. What gives, can't imagine(don't want to!Pain to change) that...

    A big thanks to Daredevil

    I just want to give a big thanks to great member, Daredevil, for helping me out with upper control arms for my 72 swinger. After pressing out my ball joints(don't ever do!) I placed a thread and had several offers from members who would be willing to sell me what I needed. Daredevil had arms...

    upper control arm

    I'll take em so long as the seat areas are in good condition (no heavy rust). Are the ball joints still in? Pete

    upper control arm

    Yup, I screwed up...pressed out my upper ball joints not realizing that they threaded in. Anyhow, anyone have any experience with the reproduction upper control arms on ebay....and no,I don't want to go tubular. I have a 72 swinger. Also, what years swap out, I know 73 and up are different.

    clifford manifold

    I like the aussie stuff but the cliffords on ebay are more affordable...just need some real world experience running the clifford in the two bbl mode. Also running the comp 264 or dc 268 cams.
