Not driving my 1965 Dart 273, but needed to move it. Would only idle cold. Once warm, needed accel pump shots and overheated. Closing the choke helped so running lean, probably a vacuum leak. Plugging the brake booster hose didn't help. Then found the PCV cap at the valve cover fell off...

Ran across this on Coparts: www.copart.com/lot/44335427 Was a beautiful car until T-boned. I hope it was empty when hit. Currently $100, auction ends tomorrow. If the rear-end isn't bent, that alone is probably worth it. Appears there are small trim parts to salvage. Then sell the carcass as...

If you haven't seen it, Wheeler Dealers is/was one of the most popular shows in the "fixing cars" group, or at least drew the widest audience. Two British guys (since relocated to SoCal) who buy, fix, and resell cars, usually for a profit that might net $5/hr for their labor. Edd is the...

Maybe I should have got a 4-wheel engine stand. Remember falling off a trike as a kid? Why Honda soon dropped their off-road trike "neck snapper". I was trying to unscrew the crank bolt and the jam rod I put on the rear popped off and engine sprung back. I move quick. Didn't hurt the...

Little progress on my 65 Dart last month, due to my wife's 02 Chrysler T&C 3.8L. More ammunition to respond to those who question why I "want to deal with the problems of an old car". Failed emission test, as expected since started missing last month, plus the tester said the PCV hose wasn't...

Besides my 65 Dart and 65 Newport, we have a 96 Voyager 2.4L and 02 Town & Country 3.8L. I relate some experiences since some relates to A-body builders who "upgrade" their engines. The 3.8L appears a direct descendant of my 273 SB, less 2 cylinders. It has a traditional cam w/ roller lifters...
