    Should i replace or roll the dice

    I've got a Challenger that hasn't been driven on the road for at least the last ten years; the tires are probably 10-15+ years old and look to be in PERFECT condition. I went into my shop the other day, to discover that a tire had gone flat. Upon examining it, I discovered that the belts had...

    California Emissions Carter 2 bbl Carburetor Replacement/Swap

    Thanks, Mike; Maybe I wasn't clear in my description, but I was only concerned with the white plastic connector tube. It's part of a CA emissions package, as my car has an additional vent tube on the right side of the trunk (it looks almost like a second gas filler tube). The new carb is what I...

    California Emissions Carter 2 bbl Carburetor Replacement/Swap

    I currently have a '70 Dodge Charger 500 318 c.i. w/ California emissions Carter carburetor. It has an additional connector for a rubber hose on the top/front of the carb. I have been attempting to get a replacement for it, but it seems that no one has any for sale. The one I purchased that...

    Engine Swap and Transmission

    I have a 69 340 that I'm planning to use to replace the 318 in my 70 Charger. Will I be able to use the OEM flex plate/torque converter/904 transmission, or will I need to change parts? Should I consider changing to a 727? Specifically concerned about balance issues. Thanks for any/all...

    Steering Wheel Diameter/Thickness

    I replaced my standard steering wheel with the woodgrain one. The rim is so skinny that long drives become a literal pain. I had a lace on cover on the plastic one which provided some relief, but I didn't want to cover up the woodgrain. Wheelskins https://wheelskins.com/ has a nice color matched...

    Questions About Transmission Fluid

    Since when did transmission fluid become like liquid gold?? As much as $10 a quart! At any rate, I'm now confronted with synthetic vs. mineral oil fluids, and I'd like to know a. if the two can be mixed, or b. stay with the mineral oil. I have a 70 and a 74 Mopar and I need to replace some...

    1972 satellite sebring restore

    In all honesty, this car has some serious rust issues. Be aware that rust is just like an iceberg, what you can see is NOT all that's there. Metal work is expensive, and then there is the availability of replacement parts. You didn't state whether the car was running or not, which is also...

    Wheel change on my 70 B5 Roadrunner

    I recently upgraded to these Dynacom one piece 15" alloy wheels, because I could no longer find big 14" tires. I wanted to be as close as possible to the original look, and personally, I think I succeeded!

    NXCoupe's Shop Build

    Wow! the pitfalls that you went through at every turn probably would have caused an average car guy to throw up his hands in defeat; so obviously you are DEDICATED! (that, and you'd sunk too much money into the project to back out, LOL!!)! You've inspired me to maybe do a write up on my small 24...

    Need Photo views of '74 Charger showing Body Lines

    I like the 68 style side marker lights! I did the same thing for a 66 Sport Fury. :-)

    Reserve not met. What a pile of ****.
