That ain't the worst of it...it means a Ford can run a Chevy motor, or a Mopar, or any other make, just like Funny car. That is what it means to be a silhouette class - what's under the sheet metal for propulsion doesn't matter any more. They ought to let 'em run factory blowers and fuel...

I've had rusty red primer'ed cam shaft valleys come out of an acidic hot tank still intact. But I used it straight out of the can with a brush, brushing it into the pores of the casting. I let it cure a good long time before any assembly, like weeks.

Dominator to 2 barrel? TQ to 2 barrel?

I'd bet the holes in the firewall were welded up. One possibility is it was originally a heater delete car. If the glove box door has a plastic bezel on the lower part then it's a Rally dash door. All the glove box doors of that era resemble that, with the stamped circles in them - think 'cup...

Any car is only as safe as the nut behind the wheel. The only modern technology that has improved the safety of motoring is the radial tire - other than that it's a wash. What I do find is that today's 'safe' makes cars where the drivers are less attentive to either their surroundings or to the...

General tune up on the grocery getter. Slant Six Sport. Bit of a flat spot when hitting the gas. Lousy accelerator pump plunger on my Holley 1945 one barrel never seems to last very long so I threw a quick rebuild on it. Also pulled the cap and rotor, pulled/cleaned/gapped the plugs, cleaned...

Some poor squirrel is going to get evicted if that car sells...

I've driven 7 -8 times from New York to Florida in my 70 340 Swinger back in the late 80's early 90's. It was a blast, and the front bench seat served as the Dodge motel at a few rest stops for many of those trips. Only had one issue the whole time - a loose connector down at the neutral safety...

Start with which K frame you have. Either the biscuit or spool mount. And if biscuit, what was the original motor. Regardless, Schumaker will have you covered.. new mounts have to match the motor AND the k frame type AND the motor the K frame was made for - 6 cyl, small block, etc. ALL ARE...

For my gas engines I usually go with Purolator, or, believe it or not, the Walmart brand filter. Walmart filters, last time I looked, were made by Champ Industries, as were Bosch and many other companies. For my Cummins I run purolator or Wix. Frams were known to come apart and plug the oiling...

Wheeler Dealer and FantomWorks are about the only two car shows I will watch - people on those shows seem to know what they are doing and don't go in for stupid scripted drama. Gas Monkey reminds me of every slimy ****-eating grin :D used car salesman I ever wanted to knock the teeth out of...

The two colors could be one for the body and another for the interior. My 70 Swinger was B3 exterior but B3/B7 interior.

Look on the fender tag - something like EB3, EB5, EB7, etc. One of those codes will tell ya. Be prepared to spend some money, even if spraying it yourself. Compressor, paint guns, prep tools. Most acrylic enamel, last time I bought some over 10 years ago, was over $100 a gallon, and that's just...

If it ain't a pump gas motor you'll be changing pistons, re-balancing it, to make it work, plus changes to the valve train. i'd also do a leak down on it to get an idea how healthy it is. Plan on spending some money de-tuning it.

That looks a hell of a lot better than the stupid 'bad boy' moronic headlights that have been on the Charger since they started making the 4 door. Those things just look plain stupid. Whoever the idiot styler was on the 4 door in general seemed to go out of his way to slap a whole lot of ugly...

If it gets stolen it better be from your locked garage, otherwise forget it. If you wreck it between the hours of 7 to 6 (when most are either commuting to work or going home) you'd better have a good story cooked up. Insurance companies ain't dumb, and have figured out most ways people try to...

Parking it in outside a restaurant while you go in to eat, or in the parking garage at work = the car is left unattended and not in a locked garage, and that is something they don't cover. If you take it out and cruise and don't leave it unattended, so long as it's less than 2500 miles, and I...

That ain't a parts car. That's a keeper. Or a flipper. Too nice to part out, no matter what part of the country you are from.

Someone's been watching too much *** Monkey Garage...

Man, I got seasick 1/2 way thru the 1st video, couldn't watch it any more. That qtr, to do it right, is $1000 to fix, unless you are REAL good doing body work. You have no idea what bondo might start falling out of it once you try and straighten it. It's a 2500 car, tops. It might have been...

Stop going to a dealer and look on the private market. Stop paying for their overhead. Your original offer would have sealed the deal if it was a private seller.

I see some orange poking through on that blue valve cover. Things have been apart a time or two on that car for sure. As mentioned, the bumper is a bolt on. Question to ask is WHY has the bumper been replaced - accident, pitting chrome, etc.

Storage, car cover, tarp - keep prying, nosey eyes away. May not help you now, but in the future....could stick it on a car trailer that IS tagged, then they can go pound sand.

BTW, only real problem with those cars is the transmission. The aluminum case has no bushing supporting the countershaft, which eventually wallows out and the gears crash together because all of the play. Tranny needs to be totally disassembled, the case machined and bushings pressed into it for...

Always wanted one for a good daily driver, which those Dart Lites and Feather Dusters were meant for. Ended up with a 75 Sport, also from Lake Placid (Florida) with 59K original miles on it. Slant 6, auto - fold down back seat, runs like a top. Only put 20K miles on it so far. Little old lady car.

It sucks pushing any car, shiny or not. Mechanicals before anything else.

"Sorry for being pissed off over tv being taken over by crapshoot programing. I remember when I could watch science/discovery/history channel and learn stuff. Now its all reality and bs drama. Anybody remember the days of modern marvels?" Man, I could not agree more. I was happy to hear...

Yup, just like putty or caulking around your home windows, sooner or later it's going to crack and when it does any paint on it will go too. Nothing lasts forever... There's a lot of welds there where the drip edge and the roof skin meet. Regardless of the POR 15, I'd want seam sealer back over...

If I remember seeing the article, the heading is CORRECT. They painted DUSTER stripes on a DART SPORT. Those stripes look like ones on a 70 Duster. I think the car is for sale now, too, saw it posted this month either on Moparts or somewhere else...
