    Broadcast Sheet Question

    Canadian vehicles sold in the northern areas usually had block heaters and heavier batteries to compensate for the lower temps. Depending on the year. one might also find things like heated exterior mirrors and larger window washer tanks. You might also try www.mopar1.us/build.html. These are...

    Broadcast Sheet Question

    The 01 code is the build code for a vehicle destined for export, Canada being the country specified. In '72, the US had stricter emission standards and vehicles meant for export did not have to meet the same standard and were not EPA certified for US sales. Conversely some countries had...

    Dodge EV Day 2021

    It will be interesting to see how long the EV vehicles stay in production. Sales of most are tanking due to high costs and high financing charges and dealer lots are full of them. Lots of articles about very discounted sales of used EVs as no one wants to take a chance on a battery...

    Dragging brakes

    First off, if a new master cylinder has been installed, that usually means that the travel rod for the booster will need to be re-adjusted. There is an acorn nut on the travel rod that is turned in or out to set the length. Remove the master cylinder to adjust the rod. Before pulling the master...

    Radiator upgrade

    You will get a little more power and a little better fuel mileage with a clutch fan. This is because the clutch fan will disengage until the temperature of the air going thru the radiator goes up enough to lock the thermostatic clutch. You should do some measuring to be sure the 26" radiator...

    Hp manifolds or TTI headers

    If you are doing a performance build, then it probably makes sense to put a good set of headers on the car. If you are just replacing the exhaust on a a stock engine, then you probably are not going to get a big boost in performance by just adding headers. I personally have had lousy luck with...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    No, thrust should stay the same. The thrust limits end to end movement of the crank and should be unaffected if the crank is cut undersized. The only exception I can think of is if the thrust surface on the crank was damaged and welded up and re-cut to stock specs. As a practical matter...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    Since the pad is blank, this could be a replacement crate engine, fairly common of 4 speed cars as a lot of the factory engines were over reved and blown up. Looks to have been a 375 hp engine as the 350 horse engines were blue. If you pull a valve cover and the engine has buffered valve...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    If the engine has a late '71 production date, it is probably a '71 engine, but some did find their way into '72 cars. "71 was a forged crank engine. On the passenger side pan rail about 1/3 of the way back from the front of the engine there is a pad that will be stamped with the VIN number...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    Thrust wear can be an indicator of a balance issue. A couple of things that could cause this. Firstly, how many miles are on the engine and is it the correct year for the car? If someone dropped in a junk yard engine the components might be mismatched. There is a machined pad on the top of...

    70 Fury III vert restoration

    Most of the after market panels are junk, poor fit and much thinner metal. Find a solid parts car and raid it for parts. The lower quarter radii and trunk extensions are the same on a '70 Fury for both 2 and 4 doors. The complete rear quarters are unique to the vert. You will need to find a 2...

    65 Newport Exterior parts interchange

    The Imperial has slab side body lines but they will not interchange with your Newport. Doors and such are bigger. If you were just going to raid the window channel, it might be possible to make that work with some cutting and other modifications. You would be better served to find a west...

    '67 Fury III Sport restore or restomod

    The issue with any resto-mod is that what one person thinks is cool might be a real turn off to somebody else. You can spend a lot of money to create your modified dream car and wind up with a very difficult car to sell should that become necessary. Dave

    440 No Oil in Top End

    If the engine runs you should start by checking the oil pressure with a gauge. If it has normal pressure, about 35psi, the cam bearing may have spun. If it does not run, you can check some other things. Turn the engine over with the starter and check each rocker to be sure that they are all...

    Ignution condenser advice

    About 1/3rd of new condensers made in china are defective right out of the box. This is what you will get at Auto-bone or Car-crap. You are probably better off with sourcing new old stock US made units. Other suppliers, such as O'Reilly's have ones made in Mexico which are a lot better than...

    Rod bearings

    If the bearings failed that fast, they are probably not getting oil to them. Low oil pressure for some reason will trash the bearings. Low oil pressure is usually caused by worn mains or a lifter that has been dislodged from the galley due to a broken or bent push rod. I assume that you...
