    Wrong floor patch?

    Well that's lame. Smash it until it works I guess, no way the Department of War and Finance is going to allow me to buy a new one.

    Wrong floor patch?

    Converting my 71 Swinger from 904 to A-833. The floor patch I have fits on three sides very well. the back of the patch sits higher off the floor than it should. Does anyone know if I got the wrong patch? Of course the number sticker is gone... Through visual comparisons online I have seen ones...

    Made a Cam-Lamp

    I definatley want to see that as well old mopars... What about straight 8 cams for the spindles in your stairs railings? "I've heard about living in a car, but this is rediculus." We'll see what happens next, might have a necessity for something and just happen to have autoscrap lying around.

    Made a Cam-Lamp

    I hope these show more clearly what I did. Since it was scrap I hammered on the gear to get it off and it and the retainer plate both fell to the floor and cracked. That is why I welded it together.

    Made a Cam-Lamp

    Thanks for all the comments, I seriously did not expect this reaction. I did think about getting it chromed, I can get it done through work, but the colours of the cam and the shade match to well to change. A shade that looked like an air filter might look cool to...

    Made a Cam-Lamp

    Had my 100,000 miles 318 factory cam lying around, gave me an idea. Turned out pretty decent and for only $16 you definatley can't beat it with any lamp you'll buy for that much. $6 EKAS shade from IKEA $10 hanging light from same, Light is supposed to hang from ceiling with orbs for shades...

    an idea of making a 340 look like a hemi

    I think it looks cool, be something different and get people thinking if you ever open your hood at shows.

    Would this be wrong?

    Do what you want, its your car. I have a 71 Dart but dont like the bumperettes, I will take them off and it will be like a 70. Whatever makes you happy...

    First 'Major' ticket

    Good stuff, just went to court this morning. They dropped it down to a 65km/h in a 50. 15k over, no points and a $45 fine. WAAAYYY better than the 4 points and $226. It pays to just show up. And I'm only working 4 days a week so it didn't even cost me pay.

    First 'Major' ticket

    Thats one thing I have noticed when driving in the States compared to Home, The troopers always have the hand on or near their gun, in Canada not so much.

    First 'Major' ticket

    I was in my 2009 Ranger, I know... But Im sure the speedo is fine in that case. The ticket was for what I was going, no reduction at all. I have no problem in paying the fine, I am more than happy to, by all means I was breaking the law, it is just the points and subsequent insurance hike that I...

    First 'Major' ticket

    81 in a 50, 31 km/h over, $226 fine and 4 points. My first ticket I want to fight just for insurance reasons but I am unsure about how to continue, oh well, it will come to me. It really sucks, didn't even get a break from the cop, not that it is his job... Im pissed at myself. I know a radar...

    Anybody to help with vinyl top install

    I am located about 40 minutes North-West of the GTA. The guy who painted my 71 Swinger is not really willing to try the install again and there seems to be a lack of anyone willing in the area. Not even the auto glass shops will touch it... I need to move the car from where it sits ASAP but it...

    New owner of a 1976 Plymouth Duster

    Welcome. I personally, seeing as how the car is going to be built for the street, would go with a small block, but thats my opinion as never having driven a big block a body. I am planning on building a variation of the 318/344 stroker BJR racing has a thread on building and backing that up...

    Legendary vinyl top problem

    The vinyl top is being put on as part of a body and paint job. I have known this guy for years, he has done other work for our family and has worked at a specialized muscle/classic car restoration shop. The repaint was due to the grinding he did to get the adhesive off. I wondered why he didnt...

    Oil in coolant, engine sputtering

    Just recently I replaced the stock 2bbl top end of my 318 with a 4bbl eddy intake and 525 vac secondary demon carb and replaced the camshaft. I am having a helluva time getting the car to run right anywhere in the rpm range even after messing with the timing from 0 up to 8 degress advance...

    Adding horsepower by choping off the weight

    How is the fit and finish of AAR bumpers? I was thinking of going the same route and painting them a high luster silver/chome paint to keep up appearances. Rechroming in Canada is crazy expensive. I have seen an AAR sic pack hood on a duster around here, very good quality it seemed, i would...

    Dots at 6 and 12 but rotor not in right place.

    I am lucky this thread was started and so many responses were added. I replaced the cam and ignorantly put the marks at 12 and 6, had no idea of the one rotation rule, tried to start it nothing except my engine shooting at me. Just tried today turning the rotor 180 and first hit of the key...
