    Mopar RTV FTW

    I've been saying for years that Mopar RTV is significantly better than other brands. Now there's test data confirming it. Skip ahead to 18:04 for the TLDR.

    '67 Valiant 2-door Hardtop

    Today I learnt they built these in Mexico. Cool, eh! I didn’t know that. Sharp-lookin’ car; this would’ve made a Valiant Scamp more coherent with the rest of the Valiant line than the rebadged Dart they used instead. Not that I dislike the Dart-based Scamps or anything, but…well, lookit:

    '65 Formula S brake/wheel/trans specs?

    (TL;DR: The factory let Car & Driver have a car with a 273 Commando/4-speed, 13" wheels, and 9" drum brakes. Was that typical equipment?) In the October 1964 Car & Driver, there's a road test of a '65 Barracuda with 273 Commando engine and 4-speed transmission. Obviously with a magazine of that...

    Rear-Engine '91 Dodge (Aluminum 225)

    My last and only spare aluminum 225 block is en route to its new home in Pennsylvania. So I got one more chance to do a pet stunt, though this time instead of calling a machine shop and saying "I've got a Dodge 225 to bring in", I called the FedEx Office and said "I've got an engine block to...

    Wix is falling off my list of good filter brands

    Picked up a Wix air filter for my daily driver '91 Dodge the other day. The box is printed up with the usual verbiage about how Wix is a great premium-quality filter, etc. The filter is inkstamped "MADE IN CHINA". Nope, I won't have it. I haven't checked where Wix oil filters come from...

    Bolivian Dodge Dart

    You could jump ahead to time index 3:07 if you want to see just the Dart. But it's better to watch the whole film. Yikes! :shock: Death Road Bolivia -Todesstrasse 2009 - YouTube

    Another Seldom-Seen A-body

    '68 Valiant station wagon. South African model with US '68 Valiant front clip and Australian '67-'68 VE Valiant body with rear sidemarker lights added to match US front ones. Slant-6 engine, right-hand drive. The "AUTOMATIC" badge looks as if it's off a Mercedes or something, but I am told by a...

    Shop manual on CD: Cheap or expensive?

    Hokay, I can either spend $29.00 for the 1973 Dodge body _and_ chassis manuals on one CD, off eBay, with the Mopar Authentic logo, from an outfit (Faxon's) who've been selling auto literature for at least as long as I've been in the hobby, and with its source clearly named right on the disc...
