    1978 Lean Burn Conversion

    If this was my car i would install an HEI ignition system, not a mopar electronic ignition even if it was free. As far as interfacing either to the car...i am sure one of the experts on here has a mopar performace engine BOOK that has the procedures for the electronic ignition wiring changeover...

    Musclecarbrakes.com - are they still having supply issues?

    Craig is very good at what he does, however he is incorrect telling us all "Those muscle car brakes are like $ 200 something a set —- and will rip up brake drums to smithereens"…..I wish he would listen to those of us that know about friction linings as that statement is an old wives tale...

    Tech tip: How to align ur own suspension at home

    Radial tires, synthetic lubricants, better shocks, etc along with better knowledge & real world experience dictate new alignment specs vs oem from 50 yrs ago.

    I will attempt to help with "vapor lock". electric pump does not solve the real problem worn pushrod? a possibility but wait - The op has not checked the underhood temperature esp where the fuel line comes up along the frame rail. Other places too like the base of the carb. How about a stuck...

    Restoration parts companies rant! Van's & Mr Moparts

    Poor planning on your part I sense some entitlement in your written demeanor Whining on here does not fix anything Check and see if Vans is hiring a customer service manager times have changed, perhaps some adaptation to the times is in order I work in the customer world and have so for decades

    Just bought a 69 Sport Fury Convertible

    After the advertising dept was done with the car it was sold at a plant auction, one of the sites for auctions was the lynch road marshaling yard. It looks to be that the employee 1st owner bought the car at the auction. Pilot cars were not to be sold to the public as "new" but there was no...

    NOT MINE 69 SPORT FURY CONVERTIBLE at estate sale

    lot of speculation from the peanut gallery, my favorite so far is the car was rootbeer brown at some point...where??? furthermore the SO number is odd and the car has some real pedigree as it is something special. Apparently the under car police were at the donut shop as nothing has been said...

    440 owners - a question

    My crystal ball is broken, you have not given enough information to determine if the problem is with the mechanic/the car or perhaps both. Today's gasoline requires a completely different engine tune than 1967. There is nothing wrong with chrysler electronic ignition at all, again, proper...

    did you test the gage/circuit? with the key "on" unplug the the terminal at the sending unit on the engine and ground it to the negative on the battery - the gage should go full scale quickly

    What is the underhood temp at the base of the carb after heat soak? What is the current operating temp? Thermostat housing temp after heat soak?
