    Need some advice about tire selection for street and strip

    I guess a number of factors were going through my head , First I was a touch nervous to be out there, it's getting to a point where you can't even go test a car as it's fargin near impossible to find a road off the beaten track that's in decent shape. Also there is always some ******** that...

    To answer your question about how fast ... after I finished doing a basic tune on the carbs , I did a Sunday morning run on a piece of road that runs from a local highway to a radio tower , (roughly a half mile long and it's paved!) With the garbage tires that are on it (an ancient set of...

    With my big block 63 Dodge 440 hardtop close to being finished,(I'll be painting it come spring) after that all that's left is seats and tires. So.....

    63 Only

    Hi Amazingly, in '63 , 80 to 90 % of the Fender Mirrors were dealer installed and they used the '57 to '61 "Forwardlook" mirrors , it was super rare to see the smaller " twin post" mirrors as factory installed options. Even the '64's ended up in the same boat! The twin post mirrors with...

    63 Only

    Just thought I'd post some before and after pics of my 440 Hardtop, some goof went scraping down the drivers side and bent up the fender and door last week! I got right on it and straightened it up and painted it. The colour was a bit difficult to locate as the Yankee colour charts don't match...

    1961 Belvedere slant six automatic transmission ?

    Hi The 904 started production in 1960 in order to meet the new Stant Six which was a major sensation that year! The '63 Slant will bolt up no problem as the Torque converter and the flex plate are the same! I've mucked about a bit with swapping Slants , the last one I did was in my Son's...

    1961 Belvedere slant six automatic transmission ?

    Sorry, R413 The '61 Belevedere with a Slant six would have an Aluminum 904 , hence the original designation "Torque Flite six" . The Valiants and Lancers had the same trans! The cast iron A-466 was found on all V-8's in '61

    Another Master Cylinder Question

    Hi With regards to your question about the master cylinder needing to be changed I would have to conclude that it would need to be. Unequal size reservoirs are used with disc/drum systems. I installed front discs on my '63 , I used the Chrysler aluminum master cylinder with a dedicated...

    Heater control to heater valve cable

    Hi The cable looks very much like a choke cable a solid steel cable running inside a wire wrap outer shell. Each end has a ring made by "rolling" the inside cable. Sometimes the cable is covered with a pvc jacket. Here is the link to Classic industries for the cable you seek...

    1963 Dodge series 440 engine replacement complete!

    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...

    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...

    Sonic Ram motor value?

    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...
