I picked this up today for $80. Brand new 35x30x42 with a dent in the back. I am unfamiliar with the mounting slots and the Vidmar website isn't much help. Seems like it would be a universal type mounting system to add a drawer or shelf. Anyone here familiar with putting shelves or drawers in...

Someone's cat got into the garage and pissed all in my Barracuda. The smell is unbearable. I'm going to pull out the seats, padding, and carpet this weekend and deep clean it. Anyone ever deal with this bullshit? What did you use? (for the cat and the piss)

I have seen this phrase used often in the last 20yrs of searching through car forums (specifically Mopar forums). I have also watched the demand for and prices go up as well as the aftermarket expand and media. I don't have an answer, but am curious why that sentiment is common. What do you think?

Hi folks, I am degreeing a cam for the first time and after devouring a ton of videos and articles I am confused about the method where you check the overlap at lifters to TDC. Here's a great video by a member here to explain what I mean. Is aligning the overlap with TDC method as accurate...

Hi folks I am getting a puff of smoke out of the carb when trying to start car. Here's a short video of what is happening. The Long details: I just rewired the engine and charging circuit. I pulled the distributor and primed the pump since the car has not been started in awhile. I put...

Hello Folks I hope all is well. I am installing a new wiring harness from Rebel Wire and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the use of the exciter wire. The exciter wire goes straight to the fuse block. From what I can understand is that it simply relays voltage back to the...

I have a buddy that is a Navy aircraft mechanic and late model Euro performance car guy. He picked up a 63' Ford Falcon project recently and also got a short block and heads for free. The 302 is out of a 79' LTD and the internals look great after teardown. It also came with an aftermarket 180'...

A few days ago I lost my keys and used a newly cut spare to move the car out of he garage for a few minutes. Went to move it back in and it wouldn't start back up. Jumping it across the starter relay it fires right up. I get 12v to the ignition switch but nothing when turning the key to ign. I...

This Youtube Channel posts lots of old Mopar ads and tech videos. This one has a 340 Dart in it.

One of the greatest in a league all his own.

Does anyone use smart phone apps that connect to a Bluetooth OBD2 device?

Here's a step by step disassembly of one of the "Ready to Run" HEI SB units. (Continuous Edit so please be patient) Remove HEI Cover and unscrew Vacuum advance. Remove ruber wiring grommet to gain access to vacuum advance lever Look inside (where green wire is in picture) and you...

Just a heads up for what (IMO) is one of the greatest annual car events ever. The San Diego MOPAR Club helps run the car show which is not only large but very diverse. Everything from Resto Mod Chargers to vintage Porsche and Datsuns. The Naval Air Station is open to the public where they will...

My Wife has labeled me a "HypoCARdriac" because the slightest noise has me tearing into our cars and over-diagnosing problems. This mixed with my very intermediate mechanical knowledge (always trying to learn though) has equaled many nights of lost sleep, expensive and unnecessary repairs, and...

Hi there folks. Trying to ID the year and model of this Dodge. The car belonged to my Father in Law (middle picture) when he was stationed in Japan (Navy). Over the years when he brought up this car he would say it was a Satellite with a V8. Unfortunately, he passed in February and this...

Hi Gang, hope all is well. I am absolutely stumped (as usual) with my fuel gauge. It is an Auto Meter #3315 with 73ohms (empty) and 8-12 ohms (Full). The gauge worked with my previous tank and sending unit. This is a new tank and sending unit. I pulled the tank today and tested the sending...

Digging around on Amazon and came across this movie featured around a 1966 Barracuda. Pretty raunchy and NSFC but was okay. Lower budget, lots of TNA (no nudity). Main actress Christy Oldham pretty hot in it. Basically a phone sex operator goes on a cross country tour turning in pedophiles and...

Sorry for the off-topic subject but I figured that a lot of you have dealt with parents passing and might have some advice on what to do. My wife was given the duties of executor recently and then my Father In Law went down hard and fast. He is currently on life support and the diagnosis is that...

Hi Gang, I am about to install a pcv valve on new valve covers that came with my engine. Before I cut out the holes would like to ask your recommendation on a quality pcv valve, breather system. 318 with 302 heads (1.88/1.60 valves) cam: Hydraulic Intake Duration (gross): 256 Exhaust...

Noticed today that SB Head Gaskets block the upper/front coolant passages to the heads from the block. I am sure there is a reason for this. Anyone have an answer? But the rear/uppers have a passage

Hi Gang, I've got this kickdown that I believe goes with a SB 1974 E-Body but not sure. Any of you Mopar Jedi Masters have an idea?

Carter TQ 6410s. Rebuilt 850cfm with #1966 metering rods, new fuel bowl, vacuum secondary, mechanical choke. Comes with gasket. $140 shipped to the lower 48.

$60 located in South San Diego. Custom exhaust that probably cost the PO some good money but too loud for my new engine and neighbors. Will bolt on directly to early A body manifolds or you can use as parts. Flowmaster 40's dump before the rear axle. The muffler shop used the original...

From what I have read here (I think my eyes are bleeding at this point) the Early A 273 manifolds will not fit the 302 heads without some shaving off the head or manifold. I mocked them up and sure enough it is true. My original plan was to use the 273 manifolds and order the complete single...

Well, I was about to rebuild my 273 and 904 when something happened. I bought another drive train. I had been keeping my eye on a rebuilt 318, 904 package that was popping up on craigslist for a few moths that was out of my budget and a little bit more performance than I was looking for. I...

Has anyone taken a motor for break in at a shop? If so, what does something like that run?

While replacing a broken transaxle mount in a newer vehicle I stripped the threads. The bolt is a 4 inch hardened steel with tight threads going into the aluminum casing. The bolt holds the weight of the transaxle. Anyone have any fixes for stripped aluminum threads?

Hi Gang and Happy New Year!, Well, after a year off from working on the car and having it taunt me every time I go in the garage I am re-re-building my 273 and trans. 2 1/2 years ago I rebuilt the top end (Thread here) and enjoyed a good year+ of what I considered my optimal build and it was my...

Hi Gang, One of my many current projects is going to be restoring my 66 tail lights. Lots of pitting and fading going on. So far I have ran all the parts through the ultrasonic cleaner and removed all of the old gaskets. I ordered new lenses and gaskets and about to start sanding/prepping to...

Would love to hear some of your stories about projects done with your kids or parents. Could use a little motivation to get to work on my own project tbh. My father and his brothers were racers/car guys in the 60's/70's and we always talked about starting a project but it never happened. Now...
