    Power bench seat

    Anyone have ideas on what modern car I could take a power seat track and make an A body powered bench seat. I know such thing is possible because when I was younger I saw a 71 dart that someone had a power bench seat but I didn't think to ask what parts they used. Seeing that car like that...

    I am really getting into what I call "box Valiants" because the shorty ones look more boxy than the early A or after 74 when they extended the wheel base. How many are on here?

    72 duster taillight problem

    So I guess 72 is the only year of duster taillights that is not repopped. So if someone needs taillights for a 72, it might be a more cost effective swap to convert to either the 70/1 lights or the 73+ style. Unless I'm just not seeing the repop 72 taillights ??

    The EFI myth

    Why do a lot of people keep keep talking about efi being the king of reliable and will go anywhere. A manual choke is the king of reliability..... the only part that could break is your cable which will never happen. A dead efi computer or sensor on the side of the highway isn't my idea of...

    Holes in k frame

    So this is the 3rd k frame I have noticed has this hole in it and I'm wondering why that is there and why is it that the k frames from the 60s seem to have it and the later ones in n the 70s do not. What would be the reason the factory would drill a hole under the motor mount??
