    Making a 67 roadworthy

    Beautiful car. Yep, one thing at a time will get you there. The good news is that most of the things I've fixed on the old Mopar's stays fixed long term.

    Engine rebuild

    All the 5.2 Magnum's that I've had from years 91 to 97 turned on at 3,100 rpm. I don't know if it's the cam or the tuning. 3.91 and 3.55 gears work well in the Dakotas with 235/75-15 tire. The Dakotas weigh 4200 full of gas with two people. The 3.55 with 235/75-15 tire isn't enough gear in the...

    I like the after option. Because, what if the before don't fit?

    Heater core leak on my new carpet

    I don't know about the staining or bleaching ability of antifreeze. But the way I clean severely dirty car carpet and seats is with a detergent in a spray bottle, a garden hose with spray nozzle and a wet vac. Mist lightly with water diluted detergent in a pump bottle. Brush aggressively...

    Can you help a Small block Chevy guy understand a 1962 Chrysler 413 with cross-ram manifold? - compression and pump gas?

    The big everyday fun with the long ram intake is the massive part throttle mid-rpm/range torque.

    What are you working on today??

    2004 Beetle fuel pump. Clean car, promises to be a pain in the butt to keep in service.

    Asking for a little tech help understanding 1961 Chrysler power brakes.

    I remover the valves on the 67 drum master to work with the 78 Cordoba disc and calipers. The plan was to replace it with the 67 disc master, but it's working fine for now. I may never change it. The Cordoba caliper is 3 inch, I think.

    Asking for a little tech help understanding 1961 Chrysler power brakes.

    The whole 11.75-disc/caliper/spindle setup from a 78 Cordoba works good on my 64. I think it works on the 61 as well. Do check that before jumping in the water. Other related stuff. I used the dual master from a 67 drum car because it was on the car from when I was still using drum brakes. The...

    Carburetor for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker with 400 engine

    See if it has a little removable tin bucket with a gasket. If it does, leave the bucket and gasket bolted down.

    The wanderer

    This symptom can be caused by "any" amount of negative tow out on an otherwise good setup. Is there "any" resistance to steering the car then the steering wheel is "dead straight ahead" while the car is idling on jack stands under the lower control arms? Any at all?

    No reason to use the right stuff when you got all the wrong stuff right there.

    Can you help a Small block Chevy guy understand a 1962 Chrysler 413 with cross-ram manifold? - compression and pump gas?

    My Dad had a 413 long ram about ten years ago. It was resistant to available 93 no-lead. So, we set about changing a few minor things. At 6 degrees initial at 600 rpm, it still stayed on the idle circuit and didn't get into the transfer slots. Then we turned our attention to tuning the...

    What are you working on today??

    95 Deville front brakes. Can't wait to get rid of this Crapillac. More room for another Mopar, something that stays fixed when its fixed. So, today I worked on garage space for the future Chrysler.

    72 Chrysler New Yorker review

    The video is correct about several things for sure. It's big. And does have plenty of power. And does transmit more road than big Fords. The big fords are the easiest cars to drive that I'd ever driven. I don't fault them at all. But lots of body lean. It doesn't seem to have anything to do...

    Carburetor for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker with 400 engine

    These GM HEI distributors work well in the Mopar big and small blocks. And, they accept the 7-degree while cranking retard module. All service parts are at the auto store up the street.

    Why I drive old cars.

    The 1959 GM and Ford cars used an A pillar that slanted forward. A most deadly sin as seen in the vid. Fortunately, Chrysler didn't do that.
