The casting date of a part can be from the calendar year BEFORE the actual model year. It shouldn't be so hard for people to understand. Cars and parts are not "born". They are cast, forged, molded and assembled. This engine block was cast early enough to be for a legitimate early 1967 year...

I just found it interesting that sometimes we find ourselves involved in stuff that we didn't actually participate in. For someone to use a picture of your car in a meme is flattering and a bit spooky. I've reposted memes I saw elsewhere and had some of the memes that I have made copied and...

I've always liked the "notch" more than the other body styles.

@MrJLR Is this your car in this meme? It looks a lot like your car, right?

This idea of the Cummins engine isn't the worst thing ever done to an A body.

Uhh, when new and under warranty.... When they were all stock and unmodified, sure. What goes wrong with an engine that is treated as a daily driver? (4 speed V8 cars not included) If I'm rowing through the gears with a performance build or driving some distance from home, I'd sure feel better...

In a weird way, this idea makes me smile. The OP knows that it is weird and difficult but chooses to move forward with it anyway. There is a motivational poster that reads....Life begins outside of your comfort zone. With that in mind, ask yourself, does anyone cheer or remember the dudes that...

This is probably more frustrating for Joey and the techs than it is for us. Thanks for doing the stuff that you're working on, guys.

Computers And software issues are WAY out of my area of knowledge. I can only guess how complicated it can be to track a problem and fix it without Messing something else up. Thanks to those with the skills to fix it.

Close. It is actually called a "knuckle". The spindle is the part the rotor rides on. Most people incorrectly refer to the whole thing as a spindle when in truth, the spindle is part of the knuckle. It is sort of like when people say cement when what they should have said is concrete. Cement...

I love Coca Cola and Starbucks coffee but I stay away from them for reasons that most people here would understand. I won't buy Gillette products either. I'm boycotting farcebook for the exact same reason. I know that those corporations see me standing outside akin to a drop of water in the...

That is funny. Hey, as long as you are going into this wild project with your eyes open, I do wish you good luck.

I'll be the one to state it. This is a terrible idea. You're installing an engine in a car that already has a 55/45 front weight bias and literally doubling the weight of the engine. The frame rails and structure were designed for the slant six or LA series engines that weighed 600 lbs or less...

A warning light is like being told you have a disease as you reach the point to need surgery. A gauge spots abnormalities before they become a bigger issue.

This cracked me up. I don’t care about soccer in the least but I’d watch a match on this field.

I love to patronize small businesses. It sounds touchy-feely but I feel better knowing that my money is helping a small business owner succeed. Sometimes though, they let you down because they don't have the manpower to meet the demands.

An A body with 11" front discs and 10" rear drums is a damn good setup. I have a 67 Dart and 72 Duster with this setup and the braking is excellent.

Spring Fling 2022: This car had block off plastic plates where the heater and radio would have been.

Another candidate for the IGNORE list since I refuse to tolerate people of a certain type.

No offense meant for the following: I love these threads. They make me smile when someone asks a question that has them confused and it is a situation that others have seen and dealt with many years ago. Yeah that valve is similar to what you see on your wheels. They are Schrader valves that...

Believe what you want. I think that it is quite possible that Government picks winners and losers in business. Take a look at what happened in 2020-2022 if you need 100 examples. Small businesses get shut down while large ($$$ donor) corporations were allowed to stay open?

That article is crap. They mention the use of a Dart grille when it is clearly a modified Shark Tooth grille... "Chrysler decided to set the Mexican Super Bee apart from the Duster by using the front grille of the U.S.-spec Demon. The Valiant Super Bee was further updated in 1972 and 1973, to...

I don't know how anyone could miss the point. If a car was built with equipment that YOU defeated or removed, you could be subject to a citation for that. If the car had the equipment but it was just not working, that is often just a "fix-it" ticket that requires repair but the fine is much lower.

I know that these cars came with pretty basic instrumentation but unless you're running a fairly stock engine, I wouldn't feel comfortable not knowing about the oil pressure. All of the A and B body cars I've owned had temperature and alternator gauges anyway.

Further.... I have boxes of front end parts from numerous incomplete front end rebuild kits. I've taken in stashes of parts from several people. Sometimes a man needs only a few parts from a kit but it was cheaper to buy the whole thing. In my stash, there are several sets of strut rod bushings...

Adjustable strut rods… You just mentioned the possibility of standard strut rod bushings varying in thickness and then you mention adjustable strut rods? You do understand that the adjustables have a much greater likelihood of introducing bind to the lower control arm bushing (due to improper...

Poly is fine at the strut rods. I've used it several times with no ill effects. I got a Poly set from PST. Yeah, you do need to make sure that they are not thicker than the rubber bushings are. Rubber does compress more so make note of the thickness as it is when compressed, maybe by pressing...

Okay, John....I have questions. What are these? I think ma Mopar should have kept them open like that to allow fresh air to the carburetor AND to clean out the leaves and debris that seems to collect there. Secondly, what are those things on the valve covers? I don't see a distributor at...

Yet you live in Arizona. Is anyone actually surprised to find the weather HOT in Arizona?
