    Best way to add front sway bar

    Back when i picked up these LCAs from a 66 Formula S, I noticed multiple cars that had this location and style of mounting Tabs. On one car in the set, i found the tabs welded closer to the pivot bolt. @Mopar Tim I am curious what benefits you found welding the tabs higher on the LCA?

    Pushed her home yesterday

    I'd love to put a metal gasket in its place. It's had a fiber gasket for many years, and depended on the ground through the mounting bracket and bolt. Do you have recommendations for a source or part number for the metal one?

    Pushed her home yesterday

    Put it all back together and dialed the points in. 31 degrees on both sides now, between 36 and 37 total dwell. Working great so far. Took her out on the freeway north of town and back and all is good.

    Don't remember the distributor gasket coming like this before. Guess the o ring can hang out in the gasket box.

    Pushed her home yesterday

    The Brand New Echelin condenser has gone bad. Seems to have an internal short. I removed it and the positive side corcuit is no longer grounded. Used to be you would buy blue streak or Echelin, because Standard made the ignition components for NAPA. The other Napa on this end of town has...

    Pushed her home yesterday

    The old.points were wore out. I put the in back in 2003. They only required adjustment a couple of times. That's where the dwell wouldn't set. The old points wouldnt allow for adjustment higher than 28 degrees, it warranted replacing them. The dwell meter is fine and works like it has...

    Question 65 Cuda

    Assuming you mean an early A (66 older) Yes, the engine will fit. You may need to weld up a custom motor mount bracket to make mount to the early a engine mounts fit right, but the engine will fit. The short shaft truck Trans, however wont fit.

    Can't figure out the SO number on my fender tag. Looked and Looked at 5 different decoders.

    Sure. According to the little white book, Paint coda A is Gold in 64 and was for Barracudas only. Chrysler had paint code U for Embassy Gold Metallic Dodge and the 880 had paint code Z, which was Anniversary Gold Metallic.

    I didn't know there was a name for it and have always just called it the quarter panel trim. Thanks.

    how to stop gas pump handle nozzle from spilling gas

    I just turn the nozzle upside down put the gas handle on the lowest notch and wait to hear the gurgle. One time in 20 it might spit up a little. Nothing like my 2010 Ram does.

    My 65, built in December '64 had the split set. The upper was on the car when dad bought it in '75. This set I pulled of a 66 formula S in the junkyard in 2003, had the over the hump. Really have no idea what the actual difference in years and part numbers were. When I worked at checker auto...

    273 Exhaust manifold

    Sometimes getting them rotated right can be the issue. The first set I change back in 2001, I had one of them upside down and it burned thru in a couple of weeks. Installed a new one rotated correctly and that 1/8, became the full surface match.
