Had my new stuff, coated tank, pump and edelbrock running like a new one, some time back. Let it sit for a few months, and now, oh my gosh.....will hardly run. Pulled the carb and found green crap and stuck float needles....bad stuck. And, the accel pump check was stuck as well. So, a...

Learning at my age is somewhat painful. I have recently seen some posts on head questions, and some on the blocks, and noted that the freeze plugs appeared to be installed upside down. I have replaced many over the decades I have toyed. But, in my experience, the freeze plug is a tight fit...

My 383 leaks enough so that I would never have to change the oil. So, I got parts, reviewed the different new seal carriers, and have done some study on the problem. My last search brought up some that could not remove the upper rope, no how. Push pull and cuss. So, I realize that if I...

I am finally going to address the richness on my new 1906. I have moved to 14 champions to try to counter the fuel carbon and it is not happy. So, am looking at the calibration chart for this carb, which is neat. Shows the stock jets and rods and changes. I have ordered parts, should have...

I installed a new wiring harness, first thing in the beastie. I tried to cover a bunch of it with loom, but not all. I have an electronic mouse inhibitor and several traps under the hood, and also vamoose with traps inside the car. So, the other day, I am checking, and find several of my...

Mine is in the dash, a simple switch cylinder with the lock that has a very small brass pin. The pin can be depressed in one position of the lock that I think is ON. And, my new lock is now coming loose at times when I turn things on. Looking at another one, I have not figured out yet...

I will need to replace the main seal one of these fine days. I am planning on replacing motor mounts while the engine is up a bit to help my old fingers remove bolts and so on. So, I am worried about loading the balancer rubber like this, and wanted some feedback from those that have gone...

Checked a search some time back....lots on pads but not the dash. Anyone removed one with some pointers. I should have done this in the beginning, and may never, but would be a good thing for anyone beginning the job. I think there may be about four to six fasteners along the top. Have...

Mine may be missing something, but there is no way to open the lid. Has anyone designed something in form of a handle to help open the heavy flat lid. thanks

I have read and researched, and the singular radio I found was a rebuilt on Ebay, and could not get a reply on fitment. It surprises me that there is no am/fm modern to fit the dash on this 66 fury. Simple two knobs and a display window....wth is so hard. Anyone found a replacement that...

Anyone have an E brake connector bar laying around to measure. On the pass side on mine, the brake will not tighten, when the cable pulls . It move correctly, but does not put force on the two shoes. I conclude that the bar is wrong, and maybe 3/16 or more short, in the center slots. When...

When I first changed to 15 inch wheels, I tried some used tires......two of which just threw the tread after about a month of little mileage. So, I ordered some inexpensive tires on the amazon. And, my local small shop installed on my new rally wheels. After about ten months, flat tire due...

I have searched and thought I had seen a digit after paint color to indicate a roof color or vinyl?? My fender tag just has QQ1, nothing to follow. Anyone know what the code was in 66 for a white top. Mine is now white, just fishing. thanks

There are a few threads on this subject, but mainly seem to relate to wrong pulleys or brackets, or spacers. My setup seems original, and I have tried several different arrangements to get my pulley in line, but. But, in my case, the pulley is at an angle with the crank pulley. This align...

When I got the 383 up and running, it was full of mud instead of water, that got flushed for about a year. And, the temps ran up to about 200F when pushed. In efforts to get it down, larger 3 row radiator copper, high flow pump and thermostat, and spring in the lower hose that was sucking a...

This is my first time for the mopar gear reduction starter test. Most times, I have used jumpers on the main and on ground, then hit the small solenoid terminal to activate starter. All my past units just stopped when the solenoid was cut. On this starter, it runs for a few seconds...

Having trouble yet again with mother Mopar, and the variety and design of these bushings. If we begin at the front, we find two designs on my 66 fury that are on the 7/8 bar....one welded, one bolted. But, if you look at the pic, you may see that it is damn difficult to force the new square...

I have got to say that I am very happy with a Lares new steer gearbox and a pump rebuild. But, my pump has had a small leak. So, I thought it was a gasket and talked to the company who said to return for repair, after locating the leak. That was a great comment. I had noted lots of oil...

Just thought I would ask yet another dumb question....this time on automotive grease, used in cartridge guns. When I was a kid, I worked on a pipe laying crew, and would grease the tracks of the big machines each morning. And, there were no cartridges, you just placed the end of the open gun...

Pulling my hair again. To pull driveshaft again for new front yoke, I put the car on blocks under the tires so I can get under. Yes, used to have a lift in a nice garage, but no more.....retarded. So, to gain just a bit of room for the rotundness, I used the bumper jack on rear corner to...
