    A car I bought wrecked back in 2001. I put a rear clip on it, gave it a paint job, and sold it for a tidy profit.

    [WANTED] 70-71 Dart Jack hook

    Right. But I'm saying that with the 70 style jack and hook, there should be no need to modify it.

    Your first mopar...?

    1970 Coronet 4 door, FE5 with black interior that I bought in 1983 at age 11. Paid a whopping 20 dollars for it with no transmission and the 318 laying in the trunk. Plan was to get it together for when I turned 16. Discovered that it had frame rot issues and decided to part it out rather than...

    [WANTED] 70-71 Dart Jack hook

    Check the bottom edge of your rear bumper. Good chance it still has the notches for the hook. I know a 73 Scamp rear bumper I have has both the slots for the 72 up style jack as well as the notches for the 70 hook.

    Here in central PA, we say that it's great to have 4 seasons, but it sucks when they're all in the same week sometimes.

    Carter AVS 4611s too far gone ?

    I'd love to see what it would look like soda blasted. I've cleaned some pretty ugly carbs, but that looks sketchy even by my standards

    Is there a junkyard gem slant six combo?

    I'm probably using the 67 pistons, just assuming more compression. But I'm looking for insight on block, head, crank, rods, etc.... What's wrong with the 1920 carb? It's been several years since I ran one, but I always thought they were about the best 1 barrel ever put on a slant. Only one...

    Is there a junkyard gem slant six combo?

    I'm looking to build a slant six for one of my future projects. In my current inventory, I have 225s from the following years... 1967 1972 1975 1976 1979 Super Six 1980 Jasper reman 1983 So, my question is basically, is there any year that is better than others as far as block, crank, pistons...

    Still trying to figure out what AAWJ means on engine block.

    I was always told it had something to do with the specific iron makeup, as far as nickel content, etc. But I have no way to verify that. Might be something to it, or it might just be a legend I've heard for nearly 40 years.

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    I thought 1990s Playstation games had better graphics. Even a door stop has nicer lines

    Looks like it would be a pain to actually haul anything in

    Anybody have any suggestions on what strut type front suspension and steering would be good in a street driven tube chassis car? Definitely want to stick with Mopar stuff, and prefer something that can easily be found in salvage yards.

    I've probably dreamt up enough good redneck fun and outrageous builds for ten people. One thing is certain, if I ever hit Powerball, the world will not be a safe place.

    How far in the hole 318 pistons

    One thing to remember is that factory ratings were just that, ratings. Not actual measurements. 68 and 69 318s have an advertised 230 horsepower, and an advertised 9.25 ratio with open chamber heads. A 70 318 is still advertised as 230 horsepower, with an advertised 8.8 ratio. A 71 318 still...

    318 gurus/historians

    I already have. Over the years, there have been times when a box of parts or something similar just shows up. Sometimes years later I still haven't learned where they come from. Generally, when the random things show up without my knowledge, I will wait a few months to see if someone comes back...

    318 gurus/historians

    And a lot of things that are too good to junk, but not worth much. I was taught to not waste anything. But it has gotten to the point where I simply have far too much stuff. Therefore, it is not at all uncommon for me to give stuff away for free to people who show up here and actually have a...

    Or a 40 year collection of Mopars and Mopar parts. When I bought the place, there was a 25 by 30 two story shop here already. I built on. Actually, did most of it myself before local building codes got too rough. Main posts are used utility poles, buried 4 foot in the ground and cemented in...

    How far in the hole 318 pistons

    I've never measured "down in the hole" height, but my favorite combination is a 1968 or 1969 shortblock, which had an advertised CR of 9.25:1 with open chamber heads, floating pins, and lighter weight rods than 71 up teens. Add a pair of the 302 casting heads, or a pair of 1967 273 or 318 heads...
