I agree, I love the lines, fender flares and the overall 80s vibe. After the mid-80s most cars started to look more and more like a worn out bar of soap. Unfortunately it's an analog dash, I would have loved to get a digital one. That digi dash is peak 80s awesomeness. It was Toyota's halo...

Super comfortable seats! Almost makes up for being so s-l-o-w :D Most of my muscle car buddies don't really get it. For me it's the strong 80s nostalgia, and and cool car is a cool car no matter who made it. This pic is from when it had Coopers on the front and BFGs on the back; they are...

Maybe I should have said the front tires will age out before the tread is gone :D

+1 for the Coopers over the BFGs. I had BFGs on my Dart and replaced them with Coopers about 4 years ago. Like @RustyRatRod said, the Coopers are a bit softer and seem to wear out more quickly, and the grip is slightly better. But for most of us they'll age out before the tread is gone. I...

Yes, 100% the OP should check the rod bearings. I was lucky in that mine looked fine. My cam bearings, maybe not so much. Actually they all looked great except for one. Check this out: At first I thought I did that when pulling out the cam, but the cam had a shadow on that journal right...

In this context I meant short block. Definitely not referring to torque.

You already have tons of good advice here. I'll add my $0.02 based on my experience. I put a 150K+ mile 5.9 in my Dart. The cylinder walls and heads looked pretty much like yours does. - I did not touch the bearings or the rings, and I did not hone the cylinders. - All I did to the bottom...

I had the same issue. I think the dash lighting was just poorly designed. I did the LED strip lighting upgrade. The gauges are actually visible now while driving in the city at night. I did several posts in this thread on the lighting the cluster, but you can check post 57 and 61 for the...

Nice!! It's good to see you getting things resolved.

I was careful to get the smaller pump that supports "only" up to 450 hp. I figured it would be a miracle if I could get a factory Magnum anywhere near 450 hp, so the small pump would be fine. Because with fuel pumps bigger is not better if you don't need it. I've heard a pump that supports...

Thanks, I really tried to make everything as serviceable as possible - ideally with parts that are on the shelf at the local parts store. The filter's output is a male quick connect, so I used a female quick connect to -6 AN fitting, like Vibrant Performance # 16886. It found a pic on my phone...

Here's a pic of my tank and the fuel lines. I can't remember the brand of hose and fittings I used, maybe Earl's. You can see I got quick connect adapter fittings to with fuel regulator. The third pic is the filter / regulator mounted above the diff. If you look closely at the regulator you...

When I was running the non-lockup 904 with my 5.9 engine, Hughes cam, kegger intake, stock throttle body, and a 3.23 gear I got a solid 16 mpg. I would think that you should be way better than 10 - 12 with your setup. And of course the rich smell shouldn't happen in the engine is running in open...

I was asking about fuel pressure because I know those GM filter / regulators operate pretty high (58 psi?) and the OBD1 Magnum spec is 35 - 45 psi. I don't know if your higher fuel pressure would cause the low RPM stumbling issue, but it's something to consider. Maybe it's pushing fuel past...

Have you measured your fuel pressure at the rail?

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I got the buttons from here: Billet Automotive Buttons - Design your own custom billet buttons 12v I got these ones: 19mm 'CRUISE CONTROL SET' Billet Push Button Switches Car Universal This OD button: 19mm 'O/D' Billet Push Button Switch...

No problem, I did my first ever build thread for the cruise upgrade: Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger You might find I got a little side tracked and did several upgrades that weren't part of the original plan. If you're short on time most of the cruise control stuff is on page 2...

Seems like me and DionR are speaking the same language here :D

I don't often buy from forums or online groups for that very reason. When I do take that risk I use Paypal goods and services and pay the extra fee. So far I have been lucky and haven't been burned trying to buy Mopar parts or parts for my 85 Supra. Yet. I was asking because I didn't use a...

Hah hahaha.... that is pure awesomeness. And I thought I was fancy putting the Magnum cruise control setup on my car!

I wanted to get the dash back together, so I dismantled the new one and put the ceramic disc in my old switch. Hopefully the switch internals will be ok for another 54 years.

That is EXACTLY the one I bought! Same box and everything! I guess I got one from a bad batch.

Question... you mentioned you're using the 904. Did you wire in a speed sensor?

Here's the easy button for a performance tune. Mopar Performance OBD1 PCM for the 5.9. Should work with the 5.2 just fine, maybe with a little extra fuel consumption. Mopar 90s HIGH PERFORMANCE computer#5249546 - auto parts - by owner - vehicle automotive sale - craigslist and Mopar...

Hey guys, I was doing a whole rewire job on my 70 Swinger a few months ago and I managed to mess up the headlight switch. Just the spring inside the ceramic piece that operates the dimmer function, everything else was OK. I bought a replacement switch and went to install it yesterday and...

+1 on 75slant6's comment. Watch out for Cherokees too, I think a lot of them had security. Maybe you could google the PCM part number and get some answers on what it came out of. If it turns out you do have a security PCM... well, before I make my next suggestion, let me say I hate Facebook...

Maybe it was this article you saw? Not exactly dyno testing, but from a flow perspective the Hughes is still way better than the kegger. Testing intake manifolds for the 5.2 / 5.9 Magnum V8 engines I saw that Engine Masters episode and was pretty impressed with the carb air gap. I think the...

Yeah, people want stupid money for those intakes, I got lucky and found my M1 relatively cheap ($750 CAD). I'm surprised the Hughes wasn't better, I have only heard good things about them. But I would say unless you can find an OBD1 Mopar Performance PCM or upgrade to OBD2 and get a custom...

I have the Mopar M1 intake, a 53 mm throttle body, long tube headers, and the Hughes SER0814ALN-14 cam. My cam has a little less duration than yours, a little more lift, with the same 114° LSA. My car runs fine on the stock 1994 PCM. Your extra duration might be bleeding off a little more...

That cam is on the ragged edge of what the stock tune can deal with. If everything else is set up perfectly then it *should* be OK, but any small thing out of spec can cause issues with the idle and running at low RPM - especially even the slightest vacuum leak. Obviously cap / rotor / plugs /...
