    Reaching plugs with Hedman headers

    Having issue accessing my rear two spark plugs on the driver side to tighten them (5 and 7. I installed headers for the first time, slipped the plugs in and I can’t get a socket in there. It’s 13/16. I don’t think I could even get a wrench in there. Do I need to back the headers out and hope I...

    So I found a radio delete plate to go with my heat and a/c delete bezel I am just finishing up. Who needs options, right? What kind of fasteners would be used to hold the plate to the bezel?

    No crank

    Go to crank my car and nothing. Battery charged. No click, nothing. Turn on lights and crank, no cranking, no clicking, lights stay the same. Used a screwdriver to jump it at solenoid and it starts. So I figure solenoid. Buy one. Put it on. Same result. I’m not super knowledgeable on this type...

    My first car 72 Scamp

    Hi everyone. Been a member for a long time, been helped by a lot of you on here, but I’ve not really posted on here to share the whole story of my 72 Scamp. I got it in June of 2004 when I was 14. It was my first car and I’m proud to say I still have my first! It had been painted the year prior...

    Squareback vs round back alternator?

    I rebuilt my 318 like 15 years ago and have put on 8k miles in that time. I replaced the alternator at the same time and recently the bearing went out on me. Seeing how alternators are relatively cheap I was just going to replace it. But when I started reading it looks like there is much against...

    Color of center caps different?

    I just swapped a big bolt pattern 8.25 on my 72 Scamp. Front is still small. I’ve been running rallye wheels, so I need new ones for the back. My question is when I’m shopping for the centers, it looks like 1972 bbp is lighter argent and the 1972 sbp is darker, both in the acorn style. Same year...

    8.25 pinion snubber?

    Getting ready to swap out my 7.25 in favor of an 8.25. Looks like it has the bracket for a pinion snubber but not the bumper. I’ve seen they make an adjustable one for 8.75s, but there seems to be little info on the 8.25. What are you all running?

    Aftermarket power steering pump?

    I have replaced power steering pumps on my car multiple times. I'm on my 3rd or maybe 4th pump. Granted, this is during a 15 year period with like 8K miles, but it's just one of those thorns in the flesh. They always seem to end up leaking. It's a federal pump. I've used recycled off a running...

    Looking for green seat hinge covers

    Hey guys, I'm having a hard time finding the seat hinge covers for my 72 Scamp in dark green. They are similar to the ones found here 70/72 A-BODY BENCH SEAT HINGE COVERS - BLACK | Legendary Auto Interiors but are green. I've been looking all over and have not seen them. Anyone know of anywhere...

    72 heat and a/c buttons

    So my 72 Scamp originally had ac. Removed the accessories under the hood. The buttons to control the heat and ac have been mushy and having difficulty coming out when switching between defrost and off. I hadn’t messed with it until I had to change the heater core. Since I was in the dash I...

    metal intake gaskets

    So, I put on my aluminum intake with Printoseal gaskets Fel-Pro Performance Intake Manifold Gasket Sets 1213 only to find out that I didn't put enough RTV on the ends. So I just picked up some gaskets from O'Reilly yesterday instead of going to Summit...

    Reuse intake manifold gaskets?

    Went to install my intake last night. Put Permatex on the head side of the gasket, nothing on the intake side. And then Permatex on the front and rear instead of cork. My buddy (A CHEVY GUY!!!) assured me I used enough. This morning I could slide an envelope between the intake and the permatex...

    Are headers worth it for me?

    Pulled my manifold off to get my power steering box removed for a rebuild. Since I’ve already got the manifold off and almost have the box out I figure now is the time to do headers, if I will do them. It’s street driven. Rare street battles but I do hop on it a lot. 318 that dynod 200hp/240tq...

    power steering pressure hose

    I have a 72 Scamp, 318, with a Federal/Chrysler pump. Hose is leaking and I cannot find one that matches my car to save my life. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I've been running the wrong hose this whole time because it looks way different but seems to fit? But I've also had power steering...

    Oil cap gasket?

    Do they sell just the gasket for these oil caps? Seems like a waste to buy a new cap just for a gasket. Just started leaking. I couldn't find anything definite when shopping for them.

    HEI or Rev-N-Nator and several HEI questions

    Replaced a bad coil with the Rev-N-Nator coil as I had been considering doing the Rev-N-Nator in the future (currently running the Mopar Performance electronic ignition kit). Still no spark. I assume it's my ignition box. Buying a cheapy at O'Reilly just to get running (and make sure that is the...

    Pressure building in tank

    72 Scamp, 318 bored .030, 470 lift cam, eddy 4 bbl intake and carb. Car bogs at WOT sometimes when it's hot (like 90* outside) but once cool outside (like 70*), runs fine.

    Small bolt pattern wheel options?

    Have a 72 Scamp with sbp 5x4 wheels that are 14x6. Turns out all four are bent and I just bought tires for them (how convenient!). Considering going the 15 inch route if the shop is kind enough to exchange the tires but there doesn't seem to be anything other than Cragars and Rallyes. I have...

    Issues with rallye wheels balancing?

    Got a 72 Scamp with 14X6 rallye wheels. Wheels are powdercoated black. I have had a long time vibration on the front that I figured was wheel related. When they balance the wheels they take off the centers, which have a good amount of weight to them. I have them put on the sticky weights rather...
