The young man who did the PDR work on the passenger side doors of my 2004 Ram was truly an artist at his work. My wife killed both doors when she sideswiped a wooden post. Long shallow dents but the paint wasn't scratched. He fixed them perfect...like it never happened! Hopefully you can find...

We've all been there....done that with stuff, so don't feel like The Lone Ranger. You won't have any trouble finding some brackets. Somebody here will have some. Most people yank a slant out of an early A and stick a small block in them, so somebody's got one laying in the corner with the right...

I think Chris is @NCmtnDWELLER :thumbsup:

You correctly called the guy in the wrecker at the end of the first video a 'Trucker'. That's what I heard.....I swear! :lol:

I'm betting that you edit out the parts where T smacks you up side the head for breaking the Miata loose in the curves! :rofl: :steering:

I've talked to Herb several times at car shows around NC. I don't know if the man has ever met a stranger....lol. To be the legend he is, he is nice to be around....and he is perfectly willing to share his knowledge with anyone. Last time I got to talk to him was at The Farmington NC car show...

Good to see you post Wayne. You've done some nice jobs this year. Wish you were closer....I wouldn't be trying to learn to spray my own junk! lol. :realcrazy:

I have a ballast resistor on my 71 Challenger that has a MP Ignition kit in it, but it still has a factory 3 wire alternator. I'm not quite sure if the alternator is the determining factor for a ballast resistor or not? The MP instructions with the ignition kit says to cut the unused green wire...

Maybe this will help. :)

The alternator on my truck is 6” in diameter.

It should be able to be cleaned up on a mill to look decent. If nothing else, it can be a spreadbore intake. I need to dig it out, take it to my buddy with a mill and 60 years of machining experience and tell him...."I doubt you can fix this, but see what you can do." :poke: :lol:

I've got an LD340 that I picked up at a swap meet many moons ago. Someone had attempted the divider mod and spreadbore deal, but it looks like they done it with a bush axe and then used a course thread half inch bolt for a file! :BangHead:

Hopefully, the turkey & dressing will be so good that you don't even think about the motor. :)

I had to have mine bushed because one bore was worn out. I never paid any attention to the chamfers. I used Morel lifters. They are the only ones that the oil band on the lifter doesn't come above the top of the lifter bore. The oil band is lower on the lifter body. Some of the big name Mopar...

I'll measure the one on my truck tomorrow for you, but I am sure it's smaller than any of the Chrysler alternators of the muscle car era. It's already dark and my butt found the recliner after a long drive....lol.

I stole this pic from @niceolddart ! It is identical to my alternator on my 88 and setup on the motor is the same.

@go-fish Here’s a pic of my pistons when I was assembling my 273. I used 302 heads that in the final windup had 58 cc’s and 1.88 intake valves. A little massaging, but nothing crazy. I ended up with 9.8 compression wit these pistons. More than enough for what I wanted. Mild hyd. roller cam. I...

If I remember right, other than mine being natural aluminum finish, that pretty much looks like the one on my old truck. I need to open the hood and charge the battery anyway, so I'll get a pic of the alternator when I get home tomorrow. I've never paid much attention to the one wire deal, but I...

Looks like you have plenty enough wrap on the AC belt so it won't squeal being a single. I'm not sure if it's original to the truck, but my 88 D100 has a small alternator. Way smaller than what would have come on any 60's - 70's Mopars. I'm pretty sure it's a Denso alternator, but I will check...

Carpet is out of style for many years. Floors are now all slick and polished! :lol:

Tri City is my go to for bumpers. I live close enough to drop off and pick up. I hope they didn't get any flood damage during Helene.

I live in the area where all the flooding was. I'd heard about that car, and hadn't seen the pic until the other day. It was in what's called The River Arts District, which is right along the French Broad River. Prior to Helene, the worst flood in history was in 1916 when 2 tropical storms met...

AMD will be sending you Christmas cards for years!

You did a very nice job on it! Engine compartments are hard to paint without running them to hell and back like the factory did...lol. I've gotten to where I just remove the K frame with the car as high on jack stands as I can get it. Then I'll get inside from the bottom, wrap the air hose...

HUGE turnout today! Swap meet was much bigger than the Spring show. Lots of race cars. Lots of show cars and a lot of spectators. The new owners of Rockingham Dragway are Mopar guys, and are doing a GREAT job of picking business back up at the track. Good to see @Mtrhead , @mikebee and...

Are they going to fit your 94 Dakota chassis? Link says they are for 1997 - 2003 Dakotas/Durango's.

What distributor? I want a Double BLT, Fries and a Coke! :poke: :rofl:

Rockingham tomorrow!!!! :steering: :thumbsup::thumbsup:

@Princess Valiant Would these help you in any of your projects?

Bending the shift rod may be the best solution. If you put more of a bend in it at the first bend from the shifter, won't that raise it up some? You have plenty of thread left on the adjustment, so hopefully it will work. Can you loosen up the shifter to shifter plate bolts, will the whole...
