    Aluminum leaf bushings...

    I found a set of unused leaf spring for a good price - but they have aluminum bushings installed. I was thinking I would just replace them w/ poly or rubber, but wanted to know if these can be used on the street if I left them in. They're going on a street car - should I ditch the aluminum...

    Chassis Dyno Questions

    Never used a dyno, and really don't know much about the whole process of dyno-tuning. I just recently got my 68 Charger back on the road. While it runs real nice, I'd love to have it professionally tuned to run as well as possible. Not to mention, I'd be curious to see what kind of power my...

    I need wiring help...

    Ok guys, I know there are 10 million ignition/ballast resistor questions out there, but after reading them, I still have questions regarding how I have my wiring set up. I've started w/ a stock repro engine/charging harness, and have made modifications trying to use as much or the original...

    I have an admission...

    Although I've been a die-hard Mopar guy my entire life, I used to hate Duster/Demon a bodies and 67-69 barracudas. Just thought they were ugly. Now, before people start lighting torches and breaking out the pitchforks, I now consider Demons, Dusters, and a-body barracudas some of the sexier...

    Cut exhaust pipe...

    This may be a stupid question, but how do you guys cut your exhaust pipes? I am installing a complete system, but the head pipes need to be cut to custom length to meet up w/ the headers. It's 3" pipe. For the record, I don't have a metal-cutting radial saw or anything like that. I...

    "black out" hood question...

    I'm nowhere near this step yet, but I have a question about the black-out hood treatments on many Dusters. When I get to the step of finally painting my car, how do I prepare to blac out the hood? Is the entire vehicle painted with the base color first, and the black is painted on top (I...

    What front tire?

    This may be a stupid question, but for those of you running a drag radial on the streets, what tire are you running in the front if they're not skinnies? I just ordered a set of the MT Street ET's, but have the radial T/A's up front - will that look weird? At minimum, I guess I'll have to have...

    Annoying vendors (carlise)

    I was at the Carlise show yesterday - as usual, I had a blast. Tons of awesome cars, and tons of parts. A couple things that annoy me: -People were actually asking $50 a piece for rusty old inner splash fenders for A bodies - should be no more than $30 a pair, IMO. Left the show w/o any...

    Aluminum head question...

    Ok guys, these questions may sound stupid, but this is my first go-around w/ aluminum heads, so bear with me... Can I use copper header gaskets? Do I need any special head gaskets? I plan to use a valley plate for the first time, where can I get a set of intake gaskets that isn't a...

    I just bought a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads. The guy I bought them from painted the intake surface, and the front and back of the heads. I want to remove the paint. What can I use to remove and not damage or scratch a set of aluminum heads? Also, I want to clean my aluminum intake...

    Demon carb on 440?

    Just bought a brand new 850 Speed Demon for $350. Manual secondaries and electric choke. Anybody else running a Demon carb? Does it need any adapters for the throttle linkage? If so, who sells it? It's going to be sitting on a Performer RPM intake. Also, any good/bad experiences with...

    Repro Quarters?

    I know the repro skins by all the manufacturers have issues with exact fitment and some body lines (specifically where it meets the rear bumper). Question - Do the new FULL QUARTERS from AMD fit like originals, or are they subject to the same fitment issues? Are they made to be exact...

    Repo dart bezels?

    Has anybody used or seen these bezels in person? The price doesn't seem too bad if the quality is acceptable. It'd be real nice to not have to deal with dented originals...

    advice: 500hp SB build

    Ok - this is going in a Demon that will be a primarily street driven car. 4spd w/ 8 3/4 rear. Full interior trim. So this is my goal: 500hp from a 360-based small block (.030 over). Nothing exotic, and something that is streetable. I expect to stroke the motor. Most likely going with...

    67 Dart - WIW?

    Ok, I really want to get a new set of Eddy heads for the Charger and a new Demon Carb - so much so, that I'm seriously considering selling my BB Dart project. My intention was to convert it loosely based on a 68 GTS. I will take pics by tomorrow to give you a better idea of condition, but this...

    power steering question...

    I have a 73 power steering box and set up. The box (according to what i've read) should be a large sector box, because power boxes changed to large sector for 73, right? So, if one was to try to use this on a 72 and older car, it obviously bolts right in, but the problem is the pitman arm...

    Just curious...

    This is not meant to offend anybody, so please don;t take it that way. I always hate seeing a fresh resto or paint job on an old mopar, and being able to see the body color through the grille. Why do people continue to assemble their car after a new paint job without blacking out the area...

    ? for Paint experts...

    The body work and paint for my 68 Charger was completed around 1995 or '96. At the time the car was my fathers, but I completed the resto and he lost interest and gave me the car. Anyway, even when fresh, the paint never really hada mirror finish. It looked nice, but I guess it was never...
