I thought I'd try the same thing I did last year taking it out of storage after 6 months. I pulled the distributor and shaft. Put in the rod to run the oil pump to prime the engine before I started it. Worked ok last year but this year the car barely ran and rough. Check to make sure the...

Lately I replaced the sending unit since gauge was not registering very accurately. Current replacement not any better so I ordered on from Classic Industries that is suppose to be made to match OEM specs. Question about the filter on the pickup tube. I was having trouble getting the old one...

Has anyone had the roof brace to the roof bond break such that it makes noise on bumps? Years ago I ran over some of those big groves they had in the road before toll booths and after that the brace on the passenger half would make noise on bumps. I know it's that because if I push on it with...

By the way the gauges are sometimes acting strange I suspect the voltage limiter. Looks like I had replaced it years ago and the replacement didn't fit exactly so you can see I had to do the ground differently. Looking at Classic Industries and Year one they both don't match the plug in slots...

I have this noise that just started. It's a high pitched clicking noise like I haven't heard before at idle. It's coming out of the driver's side valve cover breather. If you cover up the breather with your hands you don't hear it. It starts after the engine starts to warm up. Cold the...

I was curious and checked the total advance on my 67 383 that has the mopar electronic ignition conversion kit that was installed many years ago. At no load and 2400 rpms it was 55 degrees. I'm using one of those tapes you install on the damper. Also what engine damage results from too much...

I was trying to install a shroud on my stock radiator in my 67 GTS. Didn't come with a shroud. For years I have run a 18" stainless flex fan. It does heat up some when you are at a light in summer. Lately I added water wetter which helped some. Thought a shroud would help more so I found a...

I had the short return spring break on the driver's side. Existing springs are original Mopar. I had a hardware kit that I got some years ago but the short return spring in the kit was stiffer and had a shorter offset so it didn't clear the wheel cylinder like the original. I then tried...

So years ago when I replaced it I went to the parts store got a master installed it and that was it. Not now. First one the cap leaked. Second one was in a box that said it was a manual brake master but I think it was for power brakes since it was overall much larger and much higher pedal...

So I had a ticking lifter on drivers side and decided to just replace them all on that side to make sure I got it. Before I did it I got this louder noise on the passenger side front that sounded like it could be a lifter so I did them all. Ticking is gone but the louder noise is still there...

So as I was looking at replacing noisy lifters and I looked at the lifter/pushrod fit. After market lifters and the design of the cup changed so I looked at the fit which I haven't done before. Looking at the stock 67 383 pushrod/lifter fit, current ones in the engine (Howard's cam/lifter set)...

Can the oil pan be removed without lifting the engine? I had it off once in my youth but can't remember if I lifted the engine or not. Seems to me I didn't but it was so long ago I don't remember that detail. Got a pan leak I want to fix.

My 40+ year old Koni's on the rear are starting to leak. They are standard adjustable ones and I like the way they ride but they don't make them anymore and for Koni to rebuild them is ~$200 each for the rears. So what else can I get that will ride like them and not cost so much. They...

Ok I could use some input. There's a whine when I'm running in 4th gear that's there as long as the trans is engaged with your foot on or off the pedal. If you put it in neutral, let the clutch out and coast it's quite. Sounds like the whine is coming from the back but since it goes away...

Has anyone used this as a replacement and how well does it work? I was going to put the original pumpkin back in after I have someone go thru it and thought it might be a good idea to replace the axel bearings while I'm at it.

So I was wondering around Mecum's October auction in St. Charles, Il. I haven't seen a Mr. Norm 1971 GSS 340 six pack Demon. There were actually two there. Both were really nice. One had a Volo Auto Museum sticker on it, here's the link to see it...

I've been thinking about trying a thermoquad on my 67 GTS. I'm not sure which one to use and what I would need to install it. I using an edlebrock tarantula intake with the existing Carter AFB. It has the original 383 with a manaul trans.

I currently have Accurate Exhuast ACMT-912 A body performance mufflers. They have a nice muscle car sound and not too loud but they drone badly on my 67 GTS. I need to change them to a muffler that won't drone on the car. 2.25" from to back with stock exhaust manifold. I just want to change the...

I was replacing the torsion bars and figured I'd get new grease boots. They are polyurathane. I spent like 20 minutes trying to get one to go over the hex end of the torsion bar with no luck and some choice words. Has anyone gotten them to work? Maybe I'll just use the existing rubber ones.

Hi all, So I'm going to replace the torsion bars with 1" bars. I noticed they make braces for the lower control arm. Do I have to worry about adding these since I've increased the size of the bars or is it fine without them.

Ok, I finally got a shroud for my 67 dart. I don't have the attaching hardware. What did they use to attache it to the radiator?

The 45 year old torsion bars need replacing. So what diameter? From what I have read the stock on the 1967 Dart GTS were .870. I see a number of options. .890 seems to be the restoration size but they go up from there. Any advise?

I found this on the web. A guy took a tour of Mopar City in Oregon, IL. I drove past it once and didn't notice what is was some years ago. Enjoy: Mo-Par City Experience Weekend - a set on Flickr

Anyone know what a Dodge NOS 1968 Dart trunk trim panel goes for? Thanks.

I want to change the pumpkin in my 8-3/4 limited slip rearend. I've never pull one. I assume all I have to do is, drain the rearend, pull the two axels, take the cirlcle of nuts/bolts off around the pumpkin and pull it out. Reverse order to reassemble. Right? It doesn't seem real...

Anyone know the specs on this for resistance verses temperature? I was checking the resistance of the old and new at 65 degrees and they were 315 verses 275. Wanted to comare to the specs for the sensor. I'm wondering which is closer to the spec so the temp gauge is more accurate. Well as...

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I hadn't use the 67 Dart much until I did the restoration. I am finding that the gas pumps don't shut off fast enough and it spills out the filler tube down the side of the car. this happens even if I run it slow. I tried different pumps at...

I can't remember when or if I have ever replace the front rotors. Probably had them turned at some point. So I was wondering how you actually replace them? I thought I read somewhere that the lugs hold them on to the hub? If so how hard is it to take these off the hubs and will the process...

I trying to check to make sure all the main grounds are installed after the resto. I found the one missing from the block to the firewall and replaced it. Made the tach act strangely when it was missing. The battery ground is connected to the block. These two I remember but I read there is...

I took a day off to go by the Mecum auction going on this weekend. They have one every year in St. Charles, IL. No I'm not shopping just looking at all the toys I can't have. :crybaby: When I go to car curise nights, shows, etc. I don't see many A bodies. I only saw about 4 or 5...
