    Need help!!! 1965 power steering nightmare

    There is NOTHING wrong with using a Saginaw pump. Just because it might not have originally come on your car in '65 doesn't mean it's wrong. If it fits, if it works, and is a good pump, use it. Your car and your steering box won't know the difference. Mopars have used MANY different makes of...

    Need help!!! 1965 power steering nightmare

    Looks like you have a Saginaw pump from a later set up, possible slant 6. A 65 most likely came with a TRW pump - looks a bit like the Federal pump from the late 60's - early 70's. That's not to say your pump won't work, although I did not see a pulley on your pump. The saginaw pump is actually...

    Holley 1920 missing parts - time to swap?

    Swapping over to a 2 barrel set up will cost way more than $250, unless you find an intact set up from a donor and do all the work rebuilding/restoring it yourself. The later 1945 is an option, from the later slant 6's. Parts are out there for the 1920's and they are easier to work on than the...

    Slant Six / Carter BBS Heat Soak

    Did you use the really thick carb base gasket that most of the time does NOT come with a carter 2 bbl rebuild kit? Every Super Six deal I ever pulled from the boneyard that that really thick 2 bbl base gasket and the extra space on the 2 carb studs is there for that purpose. And now that I think...

    First time super six swap

    I'm assuming you broke the two 5/16" bolts that hold the two manifolds together plus the linkage? If there is anything left of it to grab ahold of try some heat and some WD 40. Or else drill away. Stick or auto? If its an auto, you DO have the right kickdown linkage, correct? Not much from the...

    Just bought this Feather Duster $1500 Score

    Better go thru the tranny. Most of those o/d trans wallowed the holes in the case where the countershaft goes through. Need to bush the case to fix it right. Looks like someone didn't change the oil - that looks like more than condensation, more like sludge from not changing the oil. If it's got...

    Home-made supersix stuff

    I would look at an aftermarket kickdown linkage, like a Lokar cable type if you do not want to fab the stuff up. Also not sure why you can't just make the stock choke well work, the one on the exhaust manifold. You can notch it open on one side to match the factory Super Six exhaust manifold and...

    Super six kickdown

    The complete linkage should have the bracket that the throttle cable bolts to (everything pivots on it), and a 'banana' shaped kickdown bracket that goes over the long carb stud. And hopefully you got the return spring bracket with the deal. If its for cruise control it will have a funky dual...

    At my wit's end

    Can you get a FSM for a 73 Dart? It would cover your current 1920 carb in a lot of details so you can be sure stuff isn't missing or installed backwards. And I have to ask, why not swap over to a factory electronic ignition? Your points distributor's shaft bushing may be worn out, after years of...

    need help /6

    Timing could be bad points, a worn out distributor bushing making the dwell wander all over the place, or a stretched/worn out timing chain. Yank the distributor and see how much side to side slop there is in the shaft - should be none. Before yanking it out, pop the cap, disconnect the...
