We keep a battery charger on it with a trickle charge. The battery goes dead after about a week of not driving it. So the battery was fully charged. But seems like the battery should not be going dead just after a week.

Hi, I have a 66 Coronet 440 with a 440 big block. I need to get opinions on what to do. When I first start my car in the mornings or after a few days it makes a metal rattling noise from the starter. It does it for maybe 1 minute and then goes away. And then everytime you start it after that for...

I have a 66 coronet 440. When you first start the car when it is cold and hasnt been started for a few days the starter seems to be staying engaged. I turn the key off right away and then when you restart it it starts normally and then starts normally the rest of the time until it sits again. Is...

Well I guess the fifth time is a charm. Someone finally figured it out. The brake caliper and or bracket was loose. No more noise. It is scary to think that I had to take it to 5 different shops for someone to finally figure it out.

Taking the car to another shop today that deals with suspension. Hope they figure it out. The time I notice the noise the most is when you first start the car and then put it in reverse it makes the clunk noise. Sometimes when you sit and turn the wheel back and forth it will clunk. Mostly noise...

Well I have had 4 different places look at my car. First one found a loose upper ball joint nut. Tightened that. Noise still there. Another place found a loose ujoint for the drive shaft. Tightened that. Noise still there. Another place couldnt find anything else. Everything has been replaced...

I have a 66 Dodge Coronet 440. I notice a popping noise coming from the passenger side front, under the car. I had one place look at it and said the ball joint was bad. I had another mechanic look at it and he said everything was fine and all new in the suspension. He said that was the way the B...

We usually use synthetic oil but we decided to put regular 10/40 wt. oil in for the break in. Cant remember the brand. Also changed the oil filter. When do we switch back to synthetic oil? Next oil change? I also had a question not regarding this car but my daughters Toyota Camry. It has an oil...

What would be the right oil to put in now.

Car is finally back and fixed. This is all that was wrong. Worn cam, replaced that. Timing gears were 4 degrees off. They had racing gears in there and those were replaced with new. New lifters. Fuel tank, all lines were taken out and cleaned. Someone drilled two holes in the butterflies in the...

What causes the pressure to build in the gas tank? When you open the gas cap it has alot of pressure. And how do you remedy that?

We have several problems going on. The cam was worn on two lobes. Fixed that. The car has a electronic distributor conversion kit on it and it was the wrong one for the car. Wrong plugs and a broken plug wire. Now on to fuel. Wasnt getting any fuel pressure. Blockage or sludge in the tank or...

We noticed that the dist. shaft has a lot of movement. Is that normal?

The vacuum is real good. All plugs look good.

Still cant figure it out. Changed cap, rotor, vacuum advance is working. Car is missing really bad. Seems to get worse the more we drive it. A friend thinks for sure it is in the dist. It has an electronic conversion kit on it. I think Mopar performance. How do we troubleshoot anything else in...

Okay this is getting very flustrating. They fixed the short. The vacuum advance was not working also. Car is starting to run better but still not quite right. Still hesitates when you step on the gas. Is still missing. And it was pinging, knocking. Timed it a little more and it stoped pinging...

WE have points.

Got the car back and they fixed the short. Car still isnt running like it should. How do you check to see if the vacuum advance is working?
