This car was bought in 2007 as a slant six, 3 speed on the column 4 wheel drum brake “Gold Duster”. My brother in law wanted to get into the Mopar hobby so we bought this car to fix up. In 2007-2008 we (mostly me!) did a 360 swap along with a 4 speed and 8 3/4” axle and front disc brakes. I...

Like many of you, I’ve owned a few A body cars with 4 wheel drum brakes. Many of us convert to front discs, many times using the popular 1973-76 A body 11” discs. Throughout the years, I’ve noticed that every time I’ve made this switch, the front end alignment changes a LOT. Going from drum to...

Okay, feel free to let me have it if you think that this is a bad idea but..... To those that want their cars to handle better, aligning the car to have more caster really helps. There are numerous ways to get there, some are more effective than others. You can crack open the wallet and buy...

In the March 2005 issue of Mopar Muscle magazine, Bill Reilly from RMS suspension components wrote an article covering the controversy regarding the use of the 73-76 A body disc brake steering knuckle/spindle and the other more common version used on almost everything else. F body, M,J, R and...

I'm looking for reports from members that have installed one and have driven their cars. How many turns lock to lock? How does it feel in terms of on center steering response? I've read about the reduced size and weight and the improved clearance for headers but I'd appreciate some comments...

I love a good deal. I also love making something work on a car that wasn't designed for it. This sway bar cost me LESS than $100 to buy, modify and install. The following here is a brief tutorial on how to make a front sway bar from a truck fit a 1973-1976 A body. I did this on a 1970 Charger...

I have a pile of strut rods in the shed. They are from a variety of cars that I parted out, stuff I got from wrecking yards, parts stashes from friends....I never labeled any of them. I can't see any difference in length between any of them. It seems that the B/E rods should be a bit longer but...

I recently parted out a 1970 Polara and saved a few of the parts that are not likely to sell online or at swap meets. I saved the 9/16" tie rod sleeves and ends and the Idler arm. I recall that the 9/16" tie rod was an upgrade for the A-B-E crowd over the smaller 1/2" stuff we had originally...

Hey guys, I have a 67 Dart that currently has a 1968 steering column in it. I bought it with no steering column and ended up finding this one at a wrecking yard. I was just curious as to what year these cars were first equipped with the federally mandated safer design. Thanks, Greg

Hey there everyone, I have a 65 Dart that is a bit of a hodge-podge of parts. It has a 318 and a 904 in it and was originally a column shifted model. The column has been either changed or modified because the shifter and indicator are gone from it. There is an aftermarket shifter attached to...

I've read before that it is advised to install frame connectors with the car either on a 4 post-drive on type lift or on jackstands with the weight of the car bearing on its tires. I have also seen bare shells on rotisseries with frame connectors being added. Soon I am going to begin work on a...

I have a bent pulley on my power steering pump and I need to replace it. I have several core quality pumps here that have useable parts. I am tempted to use a smaller pulley though because my car steers with greater effort than I prefer. I have the stage 3 Firm Feel chuck and fast ratio arms...
