One of the stark differences in older cars and newer ones is the amount of noise that is heard while driving at freeway speeds. I can go for a ride in a newer Challenger and feel somewhat isolated from the outside world. The same road and duration in my '70 Charger and I feel overstimulated...

Remember that great Flowmaster sound? How about this one? I have a hankering for that traditional Flowmaster sound.

Hello... If anyone knows the answer to this, I'd appreciate the help. THIS IS NOT A WANT TO BUY THREAD. The glove box hinge on a 1970 B body: Are they all the same whether you have a Rallye dash or a standard one? I just need direction to know what interchanges. Thank you. Greg

Hello. I have a USED trunk lid for a mid 60s Plymouth Fury. Forgive me, I’m not familiar with these. See pictures: The “PLYMOUTH” letters are below driver quality. There is some surface rust but nothing serious. One hand print dent right of center: There are a few other areas to...

It has been an interest of mine for over 35+ years. Back in the late 80s, early 90s, I was friends with some guys that were into improved handling in their cars and trucks. We has lowered suspensions and wide tires. We'd sometimes take caravan drives on curvy roads at night to rip around the...

Remember those weird Burger King ads with the plastic faced King? That dude was creepy with that stupid grin....the dude always just appearing out of thin air with a hamburger. The forest, a woman's house, wherever. If some friggin dummy appeared in my house UNinvited, I'd hope my dogs would...

According to this test, I'm just a normal guy.... Short Dark Tetrad, SD4 How about you?

The goal for your car can be whatever you want. Some buy a Mopar to go racing with it, some just want a nice cruiser to tinker on. I wanted a fast car that handled well and was reliable. I planned on driving the car miles away from home and wanted it to do it without breakdowns. Back in 1988, it...

I'm starting to think that maybe I should start gathering spares of stuff that is getting hard to find. Some stuff is reproduced for our cars but other stuff is not. I worry that if my car gets in a front end collision, it might take awhile to gather the parts to put it back together. I see that...

Kern Dog added a new event: Central CA Drag race, swap car show Famoso Raceway Sept 7 Bakersfield CA Read more about this event...

When I was a kid, my Dad used to comment how some cars on the road looked like other cars from other manufacturers. I'm sure you have noticed that too. The recessed rear window in a 68-70 Charger looks like the rear window in a 66-67 Chevelle or GTO. The angled taillights in a 69 Satellite/Road...

I'll admit...I'm not all that skilled on this topic. I'm willing to learn though. Drag racers may be inclined to run their engines with locked out timing since they run their cars at WIDE open throttle the length of the race. I don't drag race. My cars are more aimed toward all around...

I got a car trailer last year. So far, I've dragged 4 dead vehicles up on it using a hand ratcheting "come-along" and a chain. The heaviest was a 5000 lb Saturn SUV. That sucked! I want to look into a medium duty winch to make this easier. I want something reasonably light that I can...

In 2001, I built a 440 for my Charger and did my first big block swap. The car had a 318 so this was a big step for me. I’d already read the tech articles in the Mopar magazines and wanted electronic ignition. I installed a complete kit from Summit Racing…Mopar Performance distributor, orange...

I know that this is a strange topic but here goes.... The right side door handle in my 70 Charger has a really stiff button. I don't think about it much except when I expect to take the wife along on a road trip. I usually open the door for her in everything we drive. It is just what I do. My...

I rarely get simple problems to post about. I get the weird ones that test my skills and patience. This car: Has a 440 based 493 with mostly aftermarket stuff on it. It was a 318 model so when I did my first 440 swap to it in 2001, I converted it to the then popular Mopar Performance...

Besides breaking "the law", what have you broken on the car? U-joints? Drive shafts? Motor mounts? Oddly, for as much as I hammer the throttle, I've never actually blown up an engine to the point where it wouldn't run. My second 440 in the red car threw a rod but still ran. I've never grenaded a...

Hey there. My 75 Power Wagon sits most of the time. I use it to haul junk and landscaping waste for trips to the dump. The truck has a 440 and a stock ignition and charging system. When running, it charges fine but after sitting a couple weeks, the battery is too discharged to start the engine...

The thread about Dealership Rant inspired this topic here.... There are studies that report that we often have 6 or more jobs before we find our "niche/place " in life. That is certainly the case with me. I didn't start out as a Carpenter but that is where I ended up. I could have been a...
