    Found a pic of a 75 Duster I had, I would say it was original paint, but cannot confirm.

    This is a 78 318 in a 78 power wagon I had, it had 49,000 miles, I bought it off the original owner, I did add the LD4B intake and carb, but original paint on the valve covers, it even had the sticker on the drivers side.

    Rat Truck

    They don't for long, 2 years ago at the end of the year local car show, there was a state trooper with a camera, taking pictures of the rat-junk. I bet quite a few lost their tags after that night. And WV now makes you get vin number check by the police, before you can register it. It does not...

    Anyone install three speed with overdrive behind a slant six

    You will need an OD bellhousing, the retainer hole size is larger. I have one if you cannot find one. The standard 4-speed shifter and linkage will work, if you lengthen the 3-4 rod. If you zoom in on the pic, you can see where I lengthened the shift rod.

    1976 Dart Overheating and other issues

    White vinegar, drain the radiator and top off with vinegar, start it up just enough to warm up the radiator to the touch. Let is set for a week or so, drain and flush out with clean water. Be warned the last one I done like this, dislodged some stop leak. So the radiator went to the shop...

    1976 Dart Overheating and other issues

    I would first take the radiator out, and take it to a radiator shop, get it flushed out properly, possible it even needs re-cored, it looks really rough on the outside, the inside cannot be any better. Second, the factory gauges are not too accurate I would add an aftermarket gauge, on my 76...

    HOW ABOUT A 1979 318 V-8 IN MY '73 SCAMP?

    Before you buy the v8 please look at the availability of engine mounts, for conversion from spool mounts from /6 to v8. The manufacture of these mounts have not made them in a while.

    Oil pressure switch

    I am glad its out also, when I was pushing on the rachet all I could think of was don't break off, I had visions of angle drills and easy-outs were going thru my head. The heat made a difference, looking at the end of the sensor it looks like it may have had some sludge build up on the end of it.

    Oil pressure switch

    I got the sending unit out last night, heated around it for about 30 seconds with some MAP gas, gave it one hard push with a 1/2 ratchet and it spun loose.

    Oil pressure switch

    I think the plate would be a bigger pain than taking the sending unit out. I cleaned most of the grease from around my sending unit, I will clean some more tonight. And heat around the sender and see if it will come out. I did modify a small block plate spacer for the thermostat to hook a...

    Oil pressure switch

    On a 225 slant is there any other source where a mechanical oil pressure gauge can be hooked up? I was going to tee at the oil pressure switch and add a pressure gauge, but the stock switch is super tight. I put a socket on it with a 1/2" rachet, at it does not want to budge. I am afraid to...

    Just make sure it does not over charge.

    My new project

    Sorry posted the same time. That looks a little high. But it may be trying to charge the battery. Do you have a 120 household battery charger? Not starting with a full battery charge can give you issues.

    My new project

    And it goes down running? Have you put in a different voltage regulator? Also clean all the hot and ground points.
