Anyone ever install such a critter in an early-a AND retain horn function? After having a hand slamming one in an 87 supra i thought that the horn function being still available was pretty trick. The one we used was from NRG Innovations. I found they do make one for mopars, however they list...

Got a fun one here, cope racing TF904-4 "pro street reverse manual shift" that nuked 2nd gear on the 7th shift....literally. Was on its maiden voyage and lost it, so I dropped the valve body that same night and saw this. The anchor point honestly looks cheesy as hell, has anyone else ever seen...

So after a 4+ year hiatus (sorry...) I FINALLY got to the point in life where I could afford to play around and build my 66 the way I have wanted to since i got er back in 2005. 4 years ago I took this pile-o-smiles on its first legitimate car show, 200+ miles one way, and actually won best...

I have a battle tank of a dart for sale. Montana car pretty much its entire life shes seen some action. First off, yes, the body is crusty. The subframes appear to be solid. no obvious damage or rust. Leaks coolant like a sieve from the timing cover where it meets the block, upper passengers...

anyone ever drilled and tapped their intake in the rear where the intake covers the rear cooling ports in the head? then routed the ports via tubes to the thermostat boss, under the stat itself? My thoughts are ive seen it done on a couple bowtie engines in sand-dragsters that a couple of my...

I have a V8 drop drag link for all early-a's. came off my 52,000 original mile 66. asking $75 OBO. Also, I have a 904 from my 66, was attached to a slant 6, shifted great, pulled 2 years ago. this trans has the splined slip yoke, not the trunnion jobbie from earlier A's. will come with all...

He was interested in a part I have over a year ago, and I still have. We pm'ed and worked out an arrangement, but then the Pm's stopped and I haven't heard from him since. Anyone know if hes ok? still around? or what? His PM box is full so I cant message him :/ many thanks.

one of my first threads on this amazing forum was about an intermittent exhaust "poof" sound from the drivers side exhaust on deccel, and very sluggish take off under hard acceleration. Ive had this annoyance since i swapped a V8 into my early-A. i had many awesome tips and things recommended to...

I'm a bit nervous on my drive side of the teeth at my 5/600 mile fluid change. I stuck a magnet on the cover to catch debris, there was hardly anything. however the tooth pattern has me worried, the section on the drive side that looks galled is where my main contact pattern was on setup. i cant...

I hear this is a rather large show, and this will be my first year in attendance. Anyone planning on going? I registered my pile-o-smiles!!! wouldnt mind meeting some fellow mopar nuts!!!!

anyone ever heard of K&N making carbon fiber valve covers for smallblocks? A friend of mine has a set, from the mid-late 90's I believe he said, and they have never been installed on an engine. im snagging them for $75, still in the original box. ill post pics and part numbers when I receive...

just installed and road tested my kick-*** shift "correction" kit in my 87 vintage police car lockup 904, adjusted the bands, built an accumulator blocker rod, and removed the accumulator spring. the kit did everything i wanted it to, raised the shift points, helped the kickdown, increased...

First time in 8 years ive ever had a problem with MSD, and it sure was a doozie...Im thinking it was a faulty resistor that decided to bite the dust and take out everything around it. it was an analog 6A. Just what i needed at 4:30 in the morning. I rechecked all the wiring, ground was zero ohms...

Im at a loss, and am after suggestions. got an 87 vintage 904 with lockup, and the second gear shift is sloppy at mid to full throttle but ONLY when the gear shift is in second or drive, and it will be sloppy jaloppy when I start from a dead stop, or a slow roll. If i manually hold first, and...

has something really weird happen tonightin the powerwagon. the coil wire right at the cap flat cooked itself in half. no misfire, no hard starts, hesitations, nothing leading up to this point. i was right in the middle of the busiest intersection in town and i hear this loud POP! then im dead...

so after discovering a nasty crack in my current 318's block, opportunity showed its face to build up an engine, why? because i can, and I want it done my way. however im trying to keep cost on the down low as much as possible without cutting corners. ive never truly built my own motor before...

When I did my 318 swap in my 66 it always had a mystery antifreeze "weep" it would go through half a gallon of coolant about every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. figured it was the block drain plug threads on the passengers side, gooped em up, problem seemed to go away. Then I installed an aluminum radiator...

anyone out there used spartan drivetrain products? more specifically their lockers? I received a catalog from them at work and didnt think the products they offer look too bad. Thoughts or testimonials anyone?

a buddy of mine walked into work today and gave me an ignition box, with a pigtail. the ignition box, ive never seen one like it and im wondering if it may be something special or some sort of older performance box, its chrome with a 6 rib, red-anodized heat-sink plate. looks pretty interesting...

heading to the yard tomorrow, 2 early fishes (65 and a 66) and one 66 dart. fishes are pretty bare, the dart is 95% complete. trying to scrounge up rare parts to save myself some hassle in the future. the main two items i can think of now are the gas cap, and the wiper switch. ive already got...

so according to allpar 318 4 barrel engines have the same spec cam as a 340-4 and a 340-6 (for 1970) and 360-4 engines.....thought that was pretty neat. Can anyone out there back this up? http://www.allpar.com/mopar/318.html

anyone ever heard of such a monster? in putting an M-body 8.25 axle in my early-a, and it has .72 inches approx more per side than an a-body axle. im trying not to go the shorten-the-axle route if i can. I do know that a 15x7 with 4 inch backspacing fits like a glove on factory setups, so i...

So i posted this in the early a-bodies forum but thought afterwards this would be a better place to ask, sorry about that. Im just checking myself here and would like a couple pointers if needed... So yesterday was gran fury destruction time. surprisingly it came apart like butter. searching...

just checking myself here and would like a couple pointers if needed... So yesterday was gran fury destruction time. surprisingly it came apart like butter. searching through numerous threads i found the measurements of the posi 8.25 from the fury, vs my 7.25 posi currently in the derp. 8.25...

Has anyone out there done a big bolt pattern disc swap on an early A originally equipped with 9 inch drums, using 73-76 A-body lower ball-joints? or factory early-a ball joints?, 73-76 upper ball joints and control arms, and M-body spindles, rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets? I have access...

so this is going to be long winded, but i have a basic question. Got a side job de-smogging/re-wiring/tuning up a 78 W100. 360 4 speed. turns out this thing is a factory mongoloid. this truck only has 37,000 original miles, service records since new, its literally a time capsule. however upon...

So this is one of those things that I can only hope im being too critical about. Im a little worried if i have an exhaust valve/seat taking a dump, or a spark plug issue, or something else. Here's the scoop, 87 vintage 318 highway patrol motor, 360 top end (factory) 110,000 miles on this...

Has anyone else out there converted their factory unit to a 1 wire? If so, what regulator was used, and what circuit type, A (ground regulated field) or B? (power regulated field)
