    1970 300 vert speedometer not working

    I am in the process of getting my 300 ready to sell and the speedometer quit working. When I last worked on it a couple of years ago I purchased a new cable because the original cable was making noise and made the speed jumpy. I did a fair amount of research but still ended up with a cable that...

    Timing and vacuum questions - 440 TNT

    I feel like my car is lacking in the acceleration department. It runs very well otherwise. It has an Edelbrock 1406 600 CFM Performer carburetor and a Mopar performance distributor. The vacuum advance is hooked up and functions. It may advance the distributor with a little more vacuum than it...

    Distributor curve advice needed - 1970 300 Vert

    I have a 70 300 convertible that I've posted about here a few times. I have had a long time struggle with a very faint pinging sound while cruising under light throttle. Long story short is that I think I may have fixed the problems that were causing the issue which, I hope anyway, was caused by...

    When is a car no longer "original"?

    I'm sure this has been argued many times but I tried finding more information about general opinions and failed to. When is a car no longer original? Many folks have bits and pieces restored on their vehicles and I imagine it can get to a point where their "original survivor" is really a...

    Drooping sun visors

    Any good cure (DIY of course) for these sun visors? They stay up great. And then I start the car and move it :D. Then they just flop down. I've had them sort of apart but didn't see a decent way to fix them. Thanks

    1970 300 convertible trunk questions

    Can someone tell me the correct paint for the trunk of a 300 convertible please? I had a few rusty looking spots and investigated them. It appears as if the factory pretty much poured paint into the trunk and where it settled and dried was where the rust stains appeared. I took a cup wheel brush...

    Needing help with 70 300 steering column reinstallation

    I don't know why this thing is being such a problem but the steering column, which I removed to R&R the input seal on the PS box, isn't lining up as described in the FSM. The current problem I have is with the steering shaft not being in the center of the shift tube. For some reason the FSM...

    Steering coupler "pot" dowel pin help

    How difficult is it to get the dowel pin out of the steering shaft? I hammered on mine for a little while and then thought to use the WWW. I didn't find much so here I am. Some info said use a press and I don't own one (yet). I have a kit with all new parts so destroying the pin isn't a problem...

    For information only - input seal for PS gear box

    National Oil Seal 7188S: Advance Auto Parts After spending far too long trying to get this number I figured it might help someone else out one day. All I needed was the seal for the input shaft so I finally found is after removing mine and measuring etc.

    Leaking power steering gear

    I know I've been piling on here with all the problems I'm chasing. Last evening I found another. The power steering gear has been leaking for a long time but I haven't been able to see where the leak was coming from until last evening because the leak was so small. I got under the car and I can...

    Android based phone

    I have major problems using this site on my galaxy cell phone. Are there any tips for using a smart phone with forcbodiesonly? I can get on the site and look around fine but typing posts, replies etc is extremely slow. The text doesn't appear when typed and there is a huge lag. Sometimes extra...

    Gas pedal with bad "feel"

    My gas pedal has never had a good feel. I have messed with springs and it still feels bad. It is more difficult to depress than I'd like. The main issue is that the transition from idle (no foot presure) to light throttle is difficult to do smoothly. It takes an amount of pressure that causes...

    Anyone else sand their whitewall tires today?

    Yup. That's what I did today. The tires on my car are nearly new from a tread wear standpoint. Unfortunately they have been sitting still much too long and the whitewalls had somehow become very yellow to almost a light brown. I tried all the usual whitening agents but nothing helped so I broke...

    Any point in using an X or H pipe?

    I changed the mufflers on my car but I am now looking at possibly changing a few other pipes as well. Is there a good reason to use an H or X pipe? When I stand behind the car when it is idling the new Dynomax mufflers sound nice BUT sound a little like a cabin cruiser with a V8. I wonder if an...

    This is why I work on my own car.

    Today I decided to check my spark plugs. I had them changed many years ago but drove the car so little that I didn't see much need to check them. I've made a few changes on the car and thought it would be good to see how they look. Anyone with a 440 knows the 7 & 8 plugs are no joy to access...
