Hi. I bought an abused and forgotten about 300 Hurst and did a low budget "restoration". I thought engine would need a rebuild soon, so I usually bought whatever oil and filter was on sale..... but 20 yrs later its still going, starts great and runs pretty smooth. I put about 500-750 miles a...

I went to 3 parts stores. 1 said they don't make it anymore. 1 gave me Dayco#70592 which doesn't fit and the other said Gates part number is C70592 which looked like the wrong part# so I didn't order it. The only help I found was this picture in another forum with someone that put a 440 in...

As some of you know, bought my Hurst for $1000 in 2003 sitting over 10yrs in a junkyard and have been slowly restoring it ever since. Front headlights don't look too dim looking at them, but if I'm on a street without street lights, then its difficult to see the road. When I turn on the...

Is there a rich dude out there that will pay off Steve's medical bills? This guy knows so many rich people with car collections, I thought his medical bills wouldn't be a problem. It really bothers me that millions die each year just due to the costs of staying alive, but I guess that's a...

Anyone know? I think gas is still king...for now, but I think its nice to have these options. A) In 2019, Elon said Hydrogen vehicles were "stupid". Now its confirmed, Tesla is making a hydrogen car for sale in 2025. Toyota, BMW, Hyundai already have hydrogen cars for sale. B) Toyota has...

This week, Toyota lowered the price of its Toyota Mirai by $40,000. From $52,000 to $12,000. Toyota also gives a $15,000 hydrogen fuel card, so car is technically free. Problems are 1) It runs on Hydrogen. 2) Some Hydrogen fuel stations are closing. 3) There's few Mirai's remaining for...

1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst - $270 per yr. Full insurance but 4 mo in storage. (in 2022, I was only paying $180). 2013 Lincoln - $430 per yr. Full ins (2021 - $320) I'm not complaining since I live in a cheap city but I feel bad for others. Other than inflation, I found out new type of fraud...

1) Why would Cummins install "defeat" emission devices for customers? 2) How did Cummins think they can get away with doing this for 630K vehicles? 3) (I'm paraphrasing) Cummins acted as "Yeah, we'll pay 1.67 Billion, but no big deal. It doesn't hurt us at all" That's weird too. I guess...

Maybe its just me? I've been looking for a new car. I feel new cars are more dangerous (due to all the distractions built in), more work to operate and makes everyone's life slower. I know modern cars have much better suspensions, frames, rust prevention so that great, but todays goofy...

Mopar approved manufacturing, available September 2024. Nice looking electric truck but it still has its 3.6L engine. It's not a hybrid. The engine is not connected to the drivetrain, meaning the engine is just a really big generator....huh?...why? Using the engine generator to recharge is...

After 22yrs, I guess its time to get another set...but Kelly discontinued these. There's still plenty of tread since I put less than 1000 miles on every year and its garage kept. No cracks that I can see front or back. Great tires. Maybe I should keep driving on them? The only raised...

It would be nice to still see old cars cruising around our neighborhoods, but Mecum and others have ruined it driving prices thru the roof hyping up these slow, horribly assembled, dangerous rust buckets to millionaires that don't even know how an engine works. Since cars today are faster and...

I have 1 cylinder in my 1970 440 that carbon fouls, almost positive its a valve issue. All other plugs still look great. (Bosch Platinums). Engine has 154,000 miles and car was abused before I bought it 20yrs ago. Per pic, I know I waited too long to check spark plugs. Carbon fouling to...

From my previous posts, you guys know I was having problems with the plastic Mopar heater valves starting to leak before 3yrs old on my 1970 300 Hurst. You guys also know I'm cheap, so I didn't want to buy a 3rd $120 valve. Maybe I have too much pressure in my cooling system which causes these...

Yes, its me again but now the vacuum won't turn off, so I made another post in order not to confused anyone. Previous to this, I found the vacuum line disconnected at the vacuum reservoir. I guess I accidently dislodged it when I was installing new heater hoses. But when I attached vacuum...

1970 300 Hurst with 440 auto. Saved from junkyard. Dash and firewall was rotted, but I got almost everything to work. When I bought it over a decade ago, heater/ac buttons were stuck, so I kept pushing/lubing them until they operated smoothly again. In the last few months, I haven't heard...

I think the route I have keeps the line cooler, but I got it like this and don't know if original route is better. (Coil was moved to frame near fan to keep it cool). I've looks at many pics of 440's but can't tell what the route is from pump to carb. Can someone post a clear pic or drawing...

Switch for 1970 300 drivers side window broke years ago and steadily became worse and worse. It feels flimsy. Like a spring broke. Window still goes down but I have to play with it about 20 times until I find the connection point. Anyhow, the other 3 work fine. Years ago, I soldered the...

About 5000 miles ago, I bought a new heater valve for my 1970 300 Hurst for $100. It started to leak. I noticed the newer valves after 1974 are almost 1/3 the price (about $40). These are all steel which makes me believe they will last much longer than the bakelite valve from 1970? I try to...

1970 300 originally came with dummy light, but I wanted both dummy light and gauge. So I did this over 20yrs ago. Worked fine until this fall when I think sending unit or gauge became very inaccurate. Gauge sending unit is on top. Original dummy light switch is on side not in pic. I'd...
