I had a similar problem recently and found the two wires down by the pigtail near the distributor that connect to the distributor were frayed\burnt\exposed. Temporarily taped them until I can get 15 minutes to splice in the pigtail I purchased and has been running well since.

My starter project got postponed due to weather and other projects (car stalling in middle of intersection after driving for about an hour). Maybe this weekend for the starter, along with the wiring, along with a kitchen remodel, along with house wiring. I picked up the Dodge Dakota starter so...

thank you. should be the project this weekend.

Once I have the starter I will be able to see how to remove it? Thanks for the info.

Will The 92 Dakota Starter will work on my 70 383 with the conversion piece mentioned?

thanks for the details. Got it.

That is what happens. Off idle if I hit the gas she dies out unless I can get her past that zone, then she roars. this is in park of course. When I drove her around the block on Saturday she died out on me trying to give her gas. Basically made it back at idle. Let me say that I am not a...

So last week was battery terminal and getting her started, which has been done. :) One pump of the pedal and turn the key and she is running. Problems now are: 1) Loud tick from the under the driver side valve cover 2) although she idles nicely when I step on the gas she dies out. I took...

OK, so no pads needed. Thats $75 in savings. When ready I think I will be good to go. Probably a mid October project. Thanks for the steps. I did this in my Mustang when I was a youth, used a hacksaw to remove the eyebolts. This will go better. thanks for the directions and support. In...

where would I see the pads? I need to confirm if the are scalloped or not to get the proper pads.

breaker bar is already in possession. So shopping list would be: Nut splitter Bushings for shackles (8) total 4 nuts for the shackles to replace old(any specialty???) 4 u bolts and nuts 2 new leaf springs (any suggested sources before I google some more?) 2 nuts for the eye bolt in the front of...

never used a nut splitter before but if others have utilized with success no reason not to do the same.

I looked at it and feel better about doing it. Just need to get the parts, especially the shackles. I looked at them tonight when I got and and could see the offset that was mentioned. Top part measured 4.5" and at the spring was about 3.5". Will do this when I have the $$$$, hopefully in...

That is what I am missing. Thank you.

Sorry to be stubborn or ignorant but none of these would work? I know the spring is 2.5" wide from the FSM, wouldn't I just have to measure the centerline of the pins? Or are these pieces of crap. What is it that I am not considering? How the bolt fits into the bushing? If the bushing fits...

and does this mean if I do find a pair jump on them?

What do people use then? I remember a shackle kit I purchased for my mustang 20 years ago to raise the rear and it was basically 2 bars of metal with 3 adjustment holes on each side. this isn't what I want to do but what are peoples options?

I would have everything new on hand.

As I started looking at this I was thinking of swapping the springs and making this a rear suspension project.

so I got underneath the car this weekend and when looking at the bushings one side didn't look any worse than the other. I checked the centering pins and if anything the side that doesn't leave me much room seemed more centered than the other. I did take out a tape measure and measureed from...
