I actually had one rotate itself back out of the arm. It was very strange. I retightened it (no air tools involved), and gave it several 1/4" welds, and it never caused me any grief again. Run that thing up tight and fire up the welder!

Okay, let's get realistic. A 383 was used in Roadrunners and Chargers with great results for years. This engine is a chameleon,...it can be what ever you decide you want it to be. A four barrel intake with an Edelbrock or Carter 750cfm carb, a moderate or mild cam, and dual exhaust. Then motor...

I recently had an experience which was odd, but might be of interest to you. My front brakes would not engage properly or at an even rate. When they "hit" they hit hard and unevenly, causing pull towards which ever side was applying. They would also not release evenly or quickly. After much...

Regarding the "newer" axles "sliding" out, not on a Mopar. There are 5 studs and nuts holding them in place, per axle on each side. I have seen many a GM axle make such an annoying maneuver! Even on Chrysler 9.25 axle in the 70's when they had that internal clip, I never saw one do the slide...

Take some pictures, take some measurements, and head to Carlisle in July. Also, those look identical to what I have on my '61 Newport. What changes on that style is the length of shaft from the base of the shaft at the "anchor", to the bottom washer perch. Also the same measurements can be found...

Some of the blowers used a three coiled wire resister to control speed. The combination of the coils regulated the speed, and they get hot! You might want to take a quick peek and see if they are still passing current. For the sake of two screws and a terminal being removed, what have you got to...

Hey, 300 George,...if you dislike your 4 speed shift,...what keeps you from "shifting" to something else?

Yes, on the side. I have a '61 with the A745 3 speed floor shift manual with side access and the weird boot as mentioned. 62 is the same also. I also have a '63 transmission (an A745 3 speed) out of a low mileage car, and several other A745 transmissions, a shifter mechanism and a set of pedals...

I have changed these in parking lots all over North America. A screw driver or a cheapo will get you out of a jam until you find a good one. NOS is the best. Good luck.

I did the same type of trip with my 67 Newport (drum brakes) and a 10ft Jayco hardtop pup up trailer to the west coast. Tranny cooler and a soft touch on the brakes. Did numerous mountain passes per day, long prairie stretches, traffic jams, the killer Coquihalla Highway and never had a problem...

Hi. I have 2 suggestions. Both have websites. Classic Auto Glass (763) 444 5880 Vintage Glass (multiple warehouses) I do not have their number. Good luck!

Greetings. I had mine re-cored with two 1" tubes (rows). They held 3/4 of a gallon more, fit well, flowed very well and worked better than the 3 tube core it replaced. Just a quick measurement at the shop and you will know. Nobody looking at the rad can tell, if you are concerned about factory...

There are 3 grounds. One comes off of the battery negative terminal and goes to the body near the battery, one bolts to the engine at the front of the block, near the end of the front of the driver's side head, above the power steering pump and below the valve cover, and then the rear ground at...

Hi. If you read the article listed elsewhere, regarding converting from single to dual reservoir master cylinders, you will find an entry done by me that outlines several of the fittings required for fitting size conversion. The original article is from another member. Do a search (upper right...

Here is another way to tighten. Put a thin cutting wheel in your Dremel grinder. Cut a very small slot in to the end of the rod, just big enough to get a thin blade screw driver in to it. Do not make it very deep so as to not weaken the end of the rod. Use your screw driver just enough to place...

Give it to your arch enemy or main drag competitor,...when he isn't looking or can't see you doesn't see you do it.

I have the 3 speed manual trans floor shift in my 61 Newport. This trans was used for a few years post the 60 French transmission. The shifter comes out of the side of the tunnel, and does not protrude through the console. In fact, it has a small metal perch built right on to the side of the...

I have had the exact same problem on a few vehicles when the coil gets a few years on it. Once hot,...quits. Cools for even a moment and away we go until it happens again. Replaced it, problem solved. Try it, you'll like it!

These may be from a conversion kit produced by the old Stainless Steel Brake Company a number of years ago. I had a set. They mimicked the Kelsey Hayes style and I was never satisfied with their performance. I also found that when they needed to be rebuilt, there was very little support for...

Nice job,... What seam sealer did you use?
