    Can anyone confirm my car's build date on the fender tag?

    As near as I can tell (via Google searches) my car was built March 18 (code 318?) on the 2nd line from the bottom. Is this correct? Thanks for any guidance.

    Do I have a sure-grip or not?

    Trying to verify whether or not the 8 3/4" rear end in my Dart GT is a sure-grip. With the rear axle up on jack stands and the transmission is in neutral. When I rotate the passenger side wheel, in the forward direction, the driver side wheel also rotates in the same forward direction. If my...

    1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe Engine Rebuild (Detroit area)

    I've got a buddy (Ray) who inherited his dad's car. It has a straight 6 (I believe he said 217 cid) that needs a rebuild. Is there anyone in the metro-Detroit area that can rebuild this engine? Who do you know?

    3 Doors Down ('63 Plymouth Savoy)

    I spotted this car at a local cruise in/show. Originally a /6, three on the tree, rubber floor mat car. I've never seen a 3-door car before. The current owner said it may have been designed/used as a taxi cab, but has no documentation as to it's origin. It is a mind blower for sure. Enjoy...

    4 1/2 or 5 quarts of oil with 1/2 quart of ZZDP?

    I will be changing the oil & filter in my 318 shortly. My engine builder told me to include a 16 ounce bottle of a ZZDP oil additive with the fresh oil and new filter. My question is do I use 5 quarts of oil + 1/2 quart of ZZDP additive? Or, 4 1/2 quarts of oil & 1/2 quart of ZZDP equaling 5...

    Anyone not using the 90* oil filter adapter?

    I'm looking for easier access to the oil filter on my '71 Dart GT, 318, with dual exhaust running factory exhaust manifolds. My arms don't work so good under the car so, ideally I'd be working from the top of the passenger side fender. The car has/had the 90* adapter on it and getting the...

    323 "BORER"

    If an engine receives an overbore and a longer crankshaft stroke it's called a "STROKER" motor. So, I figured since my 318 engine received only the .03 overbore, it should be called a "323 BORER"!! :rofl: Also, since I'm cam "dumb", my engine builder/mechanic suggested I stick with stock...

    318 Cam Help

    My engine builder has suggested the Comp Cams XE-250 or the XE-252. Since I'm cam "dumb" I would appreciate some guidance. Some details about the car/engine to the best of my knowledge: The machine shop performed an .030" over bore on the cylinders, polished the crank and added(?)...

    Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 268 ?s

    My engine builder has offered me the above mentioned cam (& matching bore lifters) that was removed from a '65 Cuda with a 273. He told me the cam wouldn't allow the Cuda's power brakes to work properly, so it was removed after about 200 miles. My 120,000 mile engine is getting a basic stock...

    3rd Brake Lamp (CHMSL)

    I've been wanting to add a 3rd Brake Lamp (CHMSL) to my Dart GT for the obvious safety reasons. I'd like to find something that is sleek and unobtrusive. I stumbled across a picture of a Dart with exactly what I was thinking of: Does this Dart belong to a FABO member? Anyone have any...

    Rallye wheel trim rings?

    Did Ma Mopar ever NOT put a trim ring on the Rallye wheel? A google search shows a '71 Demon Sizzler with Rallye wheels and no trim ring. Any other models come without trim rings on the Rallye?

    Luck of the draw!

    So my wife and I were out getting some odds and ends for the Holidays. I ended up at the local deli (with about a million other customers) and pulled my "now serving" number: Though the Dart GT is hibernating, I still get signs that it hasn't forgotten me! :lol:

    School me on re-using a new(ish) camshaft

    A friend put a camshaft in a 273 for a customer. After an unknown run time (I was told break-in and approximately 20 miles), it was decided the camshaft would not allow the power brakes to function properly. The customer decided to have my friend replace that camshaft with one that would allow...

    Looking for easier access to the oil filter

    on the 318 in my '71 Dart GT as my old a$$ can't contort like I used to under the car (pinched nerve (C7), bursitis in both shoulders, etc...). The car has the 90* adaptor on it with dual exhaust using the factory exhaust manifolds. Is there more, top side (over the fender), accessibility...

    Can/should you re-use engine components?

    When the 4-bbl was installed on my 318 (about 5 years/3,000 miles ago) the original timing chain and gears were replaced with a SUM-G6603 double roller chain/gears. I also had a new water pump (Cardone 8-vane) installed. The engine is going in to be rebuilt in a few weeks. Can these...

    Replace Edelbrock-9266?

    My Edelbrock 1406 carburetor is being rebuilt by a friend. Do I need to replace the Edelbrock 9266 Heat Insulator Gasket? This one has been on the engine since August of 2016:

    Which alternator 60A or 46A?

    My '71 Dart GT (318, auto, A/C) is in need of an alternator. NAPA shows a 60 AMP or a 46 AMP available. What was the factory alternator rated at? The car has no extra electrical additions other than AutoMeter electric gauges (water temp, oil pressure & voltage) and a tachometer. Thoughts?
