Okay guys can anyone give me some steps for replacing the ignition lock on my 74 Dodge Dart without tilt? Even the master manual I bought doesn't have some clear directions for this repair.

Well guys my old Lincoln Mark 7 is becoming so problematic that it's time to purchase a "new" car. Through my bank I want to purchase a good commuter car in the price range of 10 to 12 grand. Give me some good cars that would fit the bill. Perhaps your own personal experiences?

What have you guys used in order to clean up the gauge lenses on your clusters? I just did a cluster swap and wouldn't you know the lenses are so hazy I can barely see my gauges.

How can you tell the difference? It's funny because though I have been in the car game for a long time this is one aspect of the hobby I have missed. Would my 74 Dodge Dart have a lockup trans?

You know guys while I have my cluster out a thought occurred to me. How hard would it be to fabricate a gauge plate that would accept aftermarket gauges in my Dart? How would the aftermarket gauges function differently then the stock setup? How have you guys done your custom gauges?

Is it true that in order to remove the dash cluster the whole steering column has to be dropped? If so what kind of design is that? I ask because check this out guys. My speedometer has been slowly going out and finally would never rest on zero. So I swapped in a genuine Mopar speedo cable...

Hey gentlemen I'm in the process of installing a spacer on my Edelbrock carb and am curious as to how tight the longer carb studs should be tightened? Is finger tight okay? Do I need to use any gasketcinch on these studs or on the spacer?

Guys I know posts such as this are being brought out constantly but I have to ask. I have a co-worker(s) who are into street machines/muscle and constantly ask me how much HP I think my setup is getting. So to just give me some kind of estimate can anyone give me some thoughts. I just tell...

Hey guys the speedometer on my Dart jumps around and is noisy on cold mornings. Once it warms up a bit everything is fine. What's the solution for this issue? New speedo cable?

Well gentlemen due to some rough running and idling issues I removed my mixture screws, blew some compressed air through their ports and the needles. I screwed them both in all the way, backed them off about a turn and a half, then proceeded to set my idle. My car is running smooth now but I...

Okay guys what mods would you love to do or have done on your project car? When it's all said and done what do you envision for your car? Here is what I want for my Dart. 1. 5.2 Fuel Injected Engine (Mild Cam) 2. Gear Vendors OD or 200r4 3. Updated Gauge Cluster (Digital or Analog) 4...

Hey gentlemen how difficult is changing control arm bushings on our A-bodies? I am having some major issues with squeaks and other noises in my front suspension that are getting really annoying. Several years ago I had a front end rebuild but it looks like my control arm bushings are already...

Well guys I took my car out on the highway for a forty mile round trip excursion and man it ran smooth. It was amazing how much torque a mild 318 build will add to a fun highway driving experience. However I do wish this ride had an overdrive. The low RPM's and increased mileage must be...

Hey gentlemen my recently rebuilt 318 has been running great until about three hours ago. For some reason upon hot start up it coughed, stalled, and the proceeded to run rough for the next fifteen minutes I drove it. I smelled gasoline so I thought perhaps I flooded it. However, this car...

Hey guys I just installed another starter in my Dart and am having issues. It keeps "clattering" or making a grinding noise with the flywheel upon activation. My other starter never did this but simply died on me. Is there some type of shimming required with Dodge starters? I know Chevy has...

I truly think those of us who learned how to drive and continue to drive our old muscle/street machines tend to have much better driving skills then those who do not. What do you think guys? I believe all the modern nuances have spoiled a lot of the new drivers in today's generation.

Hey gents where do you get your authentic Mopar starter motors from? Or at least something of a much higher quality then Autozone? I believe mine went out and will be looking for a replacement soon.

Hey gentlemen my idle speed is a bit high on my 318 and I want to lower it a bit. It's been a LONG time since I've worked on my car and I seemed to have forgotten how to tune my edelbrock. Can anyone assist me?

Well guys I finally got my Dart back and the freshly rebuilt 318 sounds nice. However I want to know what is the proper way to break in an engine after a rebuild? On a previous rebuild I just babied it a little for about two thousand miles and changed the oil at that point. What do you gents...

I know guys, it's an EVIL Chevy but it's my work truck and I need assistance. Does anyone have an illustration to share which shows how this bracket is actually hooked up in the vehicle? I need to get this hooked up on my 69 Chevy but the instructions supplied by Edelbrock are really weak.

Hey guys I have a 72 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup and want to set it up for some moderate towing. I've never set up a truck for towing a trailer before so any advice of what I need will be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I tried to find a thread that discussed other hobbies outside of cars in which one member mentioned bee keeping as his hobby. However I couldn't find that thread. So I hope that member sees this thread and can give me some assistance. My Uncle and I decided to start doing some bee...

What are your opinions on the effectiveness of aluminum core/plastic tank radiators versus the old school copper tank design? I need a radiator for a non-Mopar vehicle but am hesitant to go with the plastic tank design.

Is it just me or is this kind of cool? I wish they would have kept up with the A-100's all the way through the 80's. Why did the auto industry in general go away from the van with a truck bed design? It would make perfect sense for a city delivery vehicle.

Hey guys I posted this here since it's not a Mopar related issue. However this is my work truck and I need to fix this thing. When I disconnect the cable at the trans I can spin it with a drill and the speedo works fine. However once connected back up it simply doesn't work. What is the issue?

I'm not a big fan of vans but was wondering whether any of you guys have fixed up an old Dodge Tradesmen or some other model of Dodge van. I know vans were big at one time so perhaps a few guys still holding on to the van? Or perhaps you have a Dodge van as a parts chaser?

Hey do any of you guys have your PPL or higher license for flying? Or do you have an interest in general aviation aircraft? I'm curious to see how many Mopar enthusiasts love muscle both on the ground and in the sky. I am thinking about someday perhaps looking into getting a PPL when...

How can you delineate between a bad speedometer or a bad speedo cable/gear? I ask because the speedometer on my 69 Chevy pickup stopped working and I really want to fix it. However, I don't want to just throw parts at the issue without knowing specifically what the issue may be.

Okay guys I seem to get more help over here when it comes to tractor issues then specific forums dedicated to tractors. So let me give you my issue and your input is greatly appreciated. My Ford 861 has been blowing through coils and points and seems to have done so again. So, I changed the...

Okay guys I need some expert assistance here. I have a very "messy" situation so to speak and need to cut some clay septic line and replace it with ABS. I have done water line repairs but never septic lines. Help!!!!!!!! :D
