Hi Here br my two!

Hi Honestly, when I did use Fram on occasion ,I never had any trouble at all. When the oil pressure went out on my old engine I figured it was due to mileage and perhaps lack of maintenance in the past. My old 313 still used a cartridge filter not a spin on! (Chryco P/N 2202786) This new (to...

Hi Well with this mild winter? weather we've been having, I've been spending quite a bit of time out in the garage , First removing my stricken 313 Poly (lost oil pressure) and then cleaning /painting /transferring parts to another Poly but a slightly later one (more on this in a bit) This...

Hi I salvage these terminals by opening them with a pair of flush cut pliers , I buff the terminal with a Dremel motor tool and wire wheel! I insert whatever wire is required, close the terminal and solder the terminal and wire . If you really want a new one you can get the bare-neked ones...

Hi I went through the same business after I finished rebuilding the Poly in my wagon very slight knocking sound in around 2000 rpm . It was the mechanical fuel pump! The spring between the arm and the pump body was missing so the pump arm would not follow the eccentric on the camshaft at...

Yes it can , I replaced the entire dashboard in my '63 dodge , it's a bit of a PITA but not that hard . You start by removing all of the windshield inner reveal moldings (you'll see the screws that hold the upper part of the dash in place), the kick plates (there are two bolts here , one per...

Hi Thanks for the photo reference Spare Parts! I have never seen the Long/short ram manifolds in person! But frankly throughout this thread the difference between the short or long ram tubes never even occurred to me, as the modification required to install either one in a "B" body would be...

Hi Please check my post under "Sonic Ram motor value " I have added a photo of what I did plus above that post I have provided a completed photo!

Hi Not quite sure what you are getting at, The Long Ram manifolds were a "C" body item , I'm sure anyone who knows anything about Chrysler performance is aware of that. The manifolds on my car (second photo) originated from a 1960 "F". I obtained them from a '60 that was being parted out as...

Hi Let's not get to excited yet , I dug around a bit more, amazingly enough my brother in law used to work for an engineering firm and was involved in assigning copyrights (sorry to even bug you guys as I had the answer at my door step)! Copyrights last up to 75 years after the passing of the...

Hi I've come across a number of articles about the '63 Dodge 426 Drag test using Bill Maverick's Taxi Cab yellow '63 , the '63 Dodge Polara (Road test with the 383) and an early '62 that shows an engine shot of an engineering test mule with what appears to be a handmade cross ram etc...

We have an auction house in our town , a 1969 Dodge Charger went through a couple of years ago , regrettably I have no photo, but the car was a major rust bucket as in roof , quarters , floors , trunk etc. It realized something in the area of $30,000 ! What's happening now it seems is that...

Here is my other '63 with the Long Ram manifolds ... Considerable off the line torque!

Well, in thinking on saving some hassle and work , I got the idea of leaving the transmission and Bell housing in the car. I made a support fixture to hold the trans/Bell housing in place. The old engine came out lickety split , The replacement engine , however, was not cooperative at all ...

Hi So I finally got around to installing my "Low mileage" gem of a Poly in my '63 Dodge equipped with the A-745 3 speed manual. The "New" Engine has a pilot bushing installed which I measured about three times prior to even lifting the engine off of it's cradle! Once we got it lined up...
