I bought a '72 Scamp 6 cyl automatic A/C car. My friend is helping me to get it back on the road. He's been trying to trace a short. The fuse for the tail lights & running lights (20Amp) keeps blowing. Previous owner or somebody did some amateur splicing. Smoke has been coming from under...
Looking for a set of 4 center caps that fit mopar rallye wheels small bolt pattern, could be dark or light argent, or even the other style. (I forget what those are called) But they've gotta be in nice shape. 5 x 4 inch pattern
I'm looking for a complete 1971 duster/scamp side marker assembly and lens. If it comes with electrical socket and pigtail that would be even better. Looking for a nice used one or NOS or reproduction. Not chrome bezel. What have you? Thanks
I have the opportunity to buy a '66 Belvedere 4dr. (I know it's a B Body but I always get good advice from my A Body friends). It has the 318 Poly engine. I believe that they were built with forged cranks.. Is this true? I don't really plan to modify that engine. Are parts available...
I'm looking for a working factory AM/FM radio that fits a '72 Scamp. Will consider a non-working unit as long as it is intact with all proper connectors.
I just bought a '72 Scamp with manual steering. It has the original steering wheel that also came on the power steering equipped cars. I'm looking for a larger diameter wheel (15 in or so) that will fit onto the column without any adapters if there is such a wheel. I live in a city and have...
I have to choose between buying either a '72 or '74 Scamp. Both are /6 AT non AC cars. Both are believed to be low mileage (less than 50K). Neither one is cheap IMO. But I've been saving my coin.. Both are garaged since new. I plan to drive it during the warmer months. Definitely not during...
I like to use Blue Streak Ignition parts in my Mopars. My mechanic friends told me that these parts were usually superior to some other brands. I've noticed that most of these are no longer available at Rock Auto. I can still get them from my local family owned parts store and I do when I...
I really enjoyed Carlisle this year. It was my 20th time. Was there both Fri & Sat. Scored everything that was on my list plus some extras. The Carlisle people had their act together. There was no way that health dept. could find fault with them. Never let a bad weather forecast or...
I have '72 Scamp and 73' Valiant 4 dr. Both are slant six 7.25 rear AT cars.. Both cars make a "whooshing" noise when I drive them. Noise is identical in both cars. Noise gets louder as speed increases. I notice a slight drag and reduction of speed when I am coasting. My friend told me it was...
I am not an auto mechanic. I joined this forum to learn. I have learned a great deal from this site. Now I know a little more about braking systems than I did before.Thank You again.
It is not an issue of $. I was merely asking if it should be done. I have actually seen it done on other '72 scamps with same brake setup. I will purchase the "correct" M/C. Thanks to all for their input.
Is there a problem with using a disc/drum brake MC in an all drum brake car? Specifically a '72 Scamp with 9 in drums all around. I have a few A body disc brake MC's sitting on my shelf. Some one told me that brakes will work better this way. All other components (lines, hoses,wheel cyl.) are...
Looking for reservoir cap for '72 Scamp (slant six). Somehow the one on my car vanished. It is a federal pump. I don't need show quality, just one that will fit my daily driver.

That's a "sticky" question. Maximum 10K but it would have to be pretty much a really nice example. Let me clarify I prefer slant six A/T PS.I don't wanna waste anybodies time.
