    TIPM Question

    Which part numbers need to align to successfully match the TIPM in the vehicle to one at a salvage yard? On the attached pic, would I match up the 5604 number at top, or the RTB number at bottom? The reason I ask is I’m pretty sure the TIPM is out in my van, and I found one relatively close that...

    Engine repair question about 2008 Town and Country 3.8L

    I am in a bit of a pickle, so I need some advice. We have a 2008 Chrysler T&C 3.8L with a little over 234k on the clock. I am pretty sure we have a bad head gasket. It leaks coolant but there are no puddles, the overflow tank bubbles when I remove the radiator cap (combustion gasses?), it blows...

    2008 Chrysler T&C 3.8L Y pipe

    If any of you are familiar in any way with these vehicles, then you know the issue I am talking about. For those that don’t, Chrysler, in its infinite wisdom, decided to use a plastic y-pipe to connect the coolant lines between the heater cores and the engine. Of course, as the vehicle ages, the...

    I must be doing SOMETHING right!

    My wife and I took some old books to a used book place yesterday to trade them in for store credit. This store is the kind of place that sells a little bit of everything, but most of their business comes from books. We told our 10 year old to look around and pick something out, but don't go...

    Hose clamp removal

    I was fighting with removing a heater hose from my DD recently. I couldn't get the factory hose clamp off where the hose attaches to the water pump. I really hate the OEM spring type Mubea hose clamps that krazykuda detailed in a post a little over a year ago. The problem I have...

    KC MO building with old Power Wagon collection inside partially collapses

    A woman driving a stolen SUV lost control and crashed into an old Ford dealership in Kansas City, MO, causing it to partially collapse. Unfortunately, the building housed a collection of old, unrestored Dodge Power Wagons on the second floor...

    Some people really do get around to it...

    For all of us ever shot down when asking about an old Mopar sitting in the weeds, some people really do "get to it someday". Although I really don't want to know how much was spent to completely restore two wing cars in seven years.

    Just a quick non-A body question

    What was the difference between the 61 Fury, Belvedere, and Savoy? Was it just trim, or was there more to it? I've seen some cars with just the bullet taillights at the corners, and others with what look like reverse lights on either side of the license plate. Thanks in advance.

    Mopar-filled weekend...

    Yesterday, my wife, my son and I drove from Central IL to just north of Columbus, OH to help my dad with some things. We have seen quite a few classic Mopars since we left IL. On the way over here, just before Indianapolis, a cherry 69 Charger R/T (it was badged that way, at least) got on the...

    2012 Dodge Challenger Mr. Norm's Edition question...

    I have a question about something. I happened across this car online today, and I have a question. As I was looking at the pictures something caught my eye. Why would there be a " 'Cuda " emblem on the back of a Dodge Challenger? Doesn't really make sense to me. If anybody could enlighten me, I...

    Unexpected find, not an A-body though.

    My wife and I were walking through a salvage yard yesterday morning, and came across this near the very back. Needless to say I was surprised, cause I didn't think we had anything like this in our salvage yards. Least of all in this good of condition. It can't have been here very long. I know...

    Finally! Here's my Fish!!!

    Okay, as some of you may know, I was told last AUGUST that I would be the recipient of a 1 owner 1965 Barracuda at some point in the near future. Fast forward 8 MONTHS, and he gets in touch with me again and tells me that he's about ready to part with her. TWO MONTHS LATER (or today, whichever...

    Car show pics, Decatur, IL 5/29/11

    Until I started hanging around here, I never gave the Mopar A-bodies a second glance. Now, that's all I look for when I go to car shows. Here are some pics of the ones I found two Fridays ago, May 29, at the Chili Bowl in Decatur, IL. Just in case there are any out there that don't know or...

    65 Dart GT for sale in Staunton, IL

    Found this online, http://www.countryclassiccars.com/cars/spcars/spcars_147.htm. Seems like it is in pretty good condition, but I have heard horror stories about this place. I'm iffy about the price, too. I don't know much about Darts, but $8500 seems kinda high to me. What do you all think?

    Welding rig question

    First off, let me tell you I have absolutely no welding experience. I am a welding :newb:. I have soldered, but that is like comparing riding a bicycle to riding a motorcycle. When I get my car later this year I have decided that I am going to attempt to do any welding work myself. As someone on...

    A-Body Holy Grail???

    No, I haven't found it, whatever "it" may be. I'm just curious what you all out there would consider the end-all, be-all A-Body to be. What would you consider to be the A-Body Holy Grail? I myself don't have an opinion because I don't know enough about them yet. I'm just wanting your opinions...

    65 Barracuda column shift

    I will be honest, I don't know that much about A bodies. Did Plymouth make a manual trasmission for the 65 Barracuda that used a column shift? If so, which was more common, a column shift manual or column shift automatic? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

    Driver side legroom in a 65 Barracuda

    I may be picking up a 65 Barracuda soon and I was just curious what kind of leg room there is behind the wheel. I am 6'4" tall and I weigh 240lbs, so I'm not exactly a small guy. Is this going to pose a problem behind the wheel or should I be okay? I have been driving a regular cab 92 Ranger for...
