Let me add, I used the original lifters. I bought hardened oil through pushrods for the Edelbrock heads.

I think I had about $300 (regrind and postage to and fro) in sending my 5.9 cam to Oregon Cam Grinding. If you need help deciding on grind, you can even call and the owner Ken will help you decide. At first, I used an electric fuel pump but my grandson with Autism couldn't deal with the...

Welcome to the madness we call FABO!!

I have heard, but never investigated myself, that it is getting challenging to find nice areas in Jacksonville. A Navy family recently got orders to move there. They have been exploring areas to find a nice place for the family.

We recently moved to Florida from north Georgia. My thoughts: I loved north Georgia. We lived in Rome. Not stupid cold and not stupid hot. Cost of living was excellent. People were great for the most part. Had a great home with almost an acre in a subdivision in the woods. Been in Fort...

Welcome to FABO from way over the pond in Florida USA!! I love stories of guys getting their father's mopar. Jump in and have fun with her. We're here to help!!

I think they call from Pamama City Beach to Pensacola Beach the Emerald Coast because the water is a greenish color and the sand is white. Many folks call it the "Redneck Rivera". :D Thank you for your service! I was stationed at Biloxi in the Air Force many years ago. Now I'm working at...

Welcome to FABO! I just moved to the Emerald Coast. Currently living in Fort Walton Beach. But my Barracuda is still in Georgia until we sell our house

You can't post too many photos!!! We are a visual bunch and love seeing classic Mopars!!!

That's a very classy thing to do!! Good on you. @cosgig did a similar thing. The guy was all smiles!

I probably would have reached through the phone and grabbed him around the throat!!

And... :D

This! Initially when swapping to a Magnum I ran an electric fuel pump. After having one quit on me I bought the cam snout extension and went back to a mechanical pump. Another reason was to get rid of the pump noise...my Autistic grandson wouldn't ride in it because of the noise. I never...

Pic with headers and a 5.9 Magnum. I switched to Taylor wires since but I'm not near the car to get a current pic.

Yes, Doug's. The driver's side was a blast installing, lol. I had to ding a little to clear the cap on the coupler. Definitely a tight fit. I've thought about installing a heat shield but haven't yet. I also had to ding a little for the driver's side torsion bar. I bought the uncoated...

@Professor Fate. is right on the money with a swap to a dual pot master cylinder. Highly recommend doing it for safety sake. Here's when I did mine in a 66. I now have headers so there is a little more space.

Yup, they screwed the pooch on this one! Someone forgot to tell the Chinese to leave the name off. Oops!!!! Sucks for the little guy trying to make it.

@Empty Hand I just moved to the area. We were looking to buy in Crestview but I'm working on Hurlburt Field and saw all the traffic to/from Crestview. So, we're looking in Navarre now. I noticed the closest dragstrip is a ways away. We didn't bring our Barracuda down yet, waiting on...

Welcome to FABO!! Nice Dart. Looks like you plan to paint it, but the patina looks awesome in the pictures!

I would do the same after he said it seemed OK. See what happens, it may just have been low on fluid.

Welcome to FABO!!

Happy Easter!

@clayton d glasscoe. I would create a new post with the Subject Line asking for a repair facility that specializes in classic Mopars. Something like "Searching for a Mopar Mechanic near Chicago" Then explain why in the message area. There's bound to be some there.

Yeah, you may have to spin the cable until it drops in.

Ya know, I joined the Air Force in 1984 and didn't know Combat Control or Pararescue existed until I became a recruiter in 1993 or I probably would have gone for it. I was all into my Air Traffic Control radio maintenance job.

I remember the 80's.:D

Thanks AL. I followed your hurricane thread. You guys got clobbered. Ive been through the Nantahala gorge a couple of times and I think you guys are close to that. Its beautiful but, yes cold. And this winter was mild. My wife is a little gun shy since we lived in Biloxi during Hurricane...

Cool. We're considering Navarre. We've been down to Fort Walton twice but haven't had a chance to explore yet. It's pretty close to Hurlburt giving a decent commute. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week they had a sign up on state route 85 warning about 90 minute road closure due to...

Thanks Steve. It is a great fit for both of us. Win-win.

Thanks ya'll (Don't think they say that in Florida, lol). We were sorta hoping to get my wife back to Arkansas, but He had other plans!!
