    Evernham's back- this could be interesting.

    If you can't build one, make it sound like you did.

    It's not exactly breaking news, but... MSN And we used to joke about the "Yugo GT" being an option that consisted of a V8 soundtrack on a cassette that you could play on your tape deck... Now Stellanus has made it a reality.

    New Book

    Just saw this, maybe it's not new and has been out there a while, I don't know. Anybody out there actually get this book? Impressions? Anything new, interesting or useful in it, or is it just a rehash of the same old stuff that we've already known for the last ten years? Especially...

    Trailer charge system

    First I'll explain my situation and thought process. I've got a camper, and a utility trailer; both with 12v deep cycle batteries and electrics. Solar charging is not always viable for various reasons, SO- I'm thinking along the lines of adding a secondary charging circuit to my tow vehicles (a...

    [SOLD] '66 Dart GT interior trim lot

    Time to start thinning out some stuff- tired of tripping over it and hauling it to swap meets. Lot of interior pieces that got stripped out of a '66 Dart GT bracket car. Perfect? No, but very useable- should clean up nicely. Must take it all. No shipping- oversize pieces would be a killer...

    Cruise Control?

    Last night, after consuming a couple of adult beverages, my feeble mind began to wander. Instead of pondering my navel like I usually do, a question popped up from the deep recesses of my subconscious: Does cruise control work in reverse? I assume that's a "No" for modern computer controlled...

    Engine oil dye

    Maybe I'm just getting old, maybe it's the super light viscosity oils in common use today, but I'm getting really tired of not even being able to accurately read a dipstick any more. Especially when the oil is still relatively fresh. Does anybody have any input on some sort of harmless dye...

    Plugs for a 318 Poly

    Does anybody have a quick and easy way to tell if a '66 318 poly uses 3/8" or 3/4" reach plugs? Both are used. Don't say "take the old ones out and look at them"- after this many years, who knows if the right ones are in it now. Short of pulling a plug and trying to get in there and measure...

    CAP air cleaner orientation

    On the '66-'67 273 Charger/Commando motors with CAP, did the factory have the breather nipple on the air cleaner point to the front, or rear? Photos I've come up with generally have them forward at approximately the 4 or 5 0'clock position, although I've come across a few that seem to have it...

    Let's go "yachting"!

    Okay, I know it's not an A body; but somebody needs to give this baby a home! Came across this while perusing local auctions- I'd get it myself, but I'd need to knock out a wall to fit it into my garage! Hansen Auction Group Somebody, give this land yacht a berth! '70s Mafia at its finest!

    Jeep LSD

    No, not the drug you take when four-wheelin'... I've got an '07 Grand Cherokee that I'm replacing the rear axle bearings in; it has electronic limited slip- does this thing require friction modifier to be added along with the fresh gear oil? Did a basic internet search and came up empty handed.

    Manifold EGR Jets

    I have a '79 casting date spread bore manifold that I got in a parts deal a while back, just getting around to using it now. It already had the EGR jets removed from the plenum floor, leaving just the open threaded holes, so I tried to plug them- tried pipe thread, fine thread, coarse thread...

    ThermoQuad vacuum advance port

    Question for the ThermoQuad guys: I've got a 9087S (ELB carb) that I stripped down to add a vacuum advance port to. Then I noticed that the ECS port (vacuum cannister purge) has metered ports in almost the same location as the advance port would be, the only difference is that the ECS draws from...

    B & C body 360 manifolds

    Looking for a solid answer on fit of this style B/C body exhaust manifold in an early A (driver's side): I keep seeing them referenced in discussions, but early A threads keep getting polluted with later A info that does not apply, and I have never actually seen any of these in use. The first...

    I.D. of an Ignition Module

    While trying, somewhat futilely, to get a bit more organized in my shop, I came across this ignition module in a tub of ignition parts. Due to OFS (Old Fart Syndrome), I have no idea where I got it or where it came from. It's a five pin, and I have no idea what the adjuster is for- a rev...

    4 cyl. tach conversion

    Not an A body, but I've been converting the gauge panel from an '88 Daytona to fit my '88 Dakota- full gauge instrumentation as opposed to the Dak's idiot lights, buzzers and blank spaces. The gauges and speedometer present no problems, but I also want to use the tach. I remember there being a...

    Things that need to be repopped!

    Thought I'd start a thread about items that need to be repopped- not talking about ball-stud hemi heads or 392 Bendix injection systems; but things that are relatively easy and seem to be a demand for. Kind of a brain tickler for vendors/cottage manufacturers to think about. I'll start it off...

    Clevite camshaft

    I'm trying to chase down the specs/application for a Clevite (possibly Perfect Circle also) 229-2153 camshaft. Owner says it's a factory hydraulic roller replacement cam, but I'm trying to confirm and narrow down the application (318/360 were different). Does anybody have a catalog, or link to...

    Wagon Leaf Springs

    I'm looking at replacing the tired leaf springs on my '66 Dart wagon, but I'm a little undecided on the best route to take. I'm leaning towards the XHD springs (ESPO), but I'm not sure if I should go with the +1s or not. I'd like a slight bit of rake, but nothing drastic (not the '70s look on...

    302s on a 360?

    I've got a '90 360 roller motor, and guess what? The 308s are shot- big surprise. But I've got a good set of 302s that have been sitting on the shelf for too long... Now keep in mind this is a completely stock bottom-ended daily driver engine; the port size/flow is down on the 302s compared...
