For most builds that are mostly stock, usually I recommend the factory restoration harnesses like the M&H ones from year one. Mostly as a time saver, but they have the factory colors, connectors, and such. Mikes custom wiring likely took 20+ hours. I was using my old the MSD crimpers and...

I posted a bunch Saturday, it was still snowing! I forgot about the 1976 Cordoba 360 4-bbl fully loaded with sun-roof car I paid $100 for, that I drove around 1989-1991.

Does the price include both engines? What parts does he have, and would he throw them in for the $12K? Car will be alot of work.

Questions were for the Original Poster, but really nice car Runner 68. The Alternator and pulley ratio question is to check if running underdrive (small crank) pulley that could hurt low rpm output from the alternator, and on the other side, you need to make sure not to over rev the alternator...

Worst I had seen was 15 degrees off when dot-to-dot, and it was not a tooth off. That was on an Oldsmobile 455 with unknown brand timing chain and cam? Haven't seen a Mopar off that bad. I have had good timing results with the 440 Source 9-way timing sets and Comp cams usually being correct...

Questions: Battery Location? Stock or trunk? If trunk, does it need external kill switch per NHRA? Which EFI? Ignition System? Have A/C? Electric Cooling Fans? Alternator type, output and regulator type? Alternator pulley ratio and max engine RPM if known? Head light type, or need headlight...

Seem the 15" and smaller rim sizes have limited selection of all season type tires. I like my 15" rims, but most of the modern tires I want to run are for 17" and larger rims.

Degree the cam if you have the tools. It is a verification process giving you information of the actual installed position in case you have issues or are thinking of changing it later. The only real tool needed is a dial indicator. You can use painters tape on the damper to mark TDC, and two...

With the vacuum advance, the arm is usually stamped with how much it advances at the distributor (double it for crank degrees). That is based on the notch where the arm stops moving. That is the total vacuum advance, in the cannister, there should be a screw to adjust the diaphragm spring...

The main places to look for rust are around the rear window, trunk, and lower quarter panels. Then lower front fenders, lower doors, and front foot wells. Under the hood, look around the hood hinge area on the inner fenders. Prices I think are fairly high. Pretty poor shape cars that need...

The Convertible originally has the pressure side from the tank along the passenger side sort of like the factory routing, and the return along the drivers side back to the tank (when I first installed the EFI, -6 AN). I changed that to the 3/8" supply, 5/16" return hard lines along the...

An extra ground would be a good idea, not sure where the best place to connect to the cluster, or the dash. Some of the dashes don't ground good the the chassis after repainting them also.

First car was $175 in 1977 for 1967 Coronet 4-Door 440 model, 318 with 727 and 8-3/4" rear, less than 40,000 miles it was my Aunts car, she bought a Dodge Aspen. Car was in good shape, but the engine was carboned up bad. Ran when I got it, but had to pull the engine apart, pry the rings out of...

'73 was when they went to the isolated suspension, so things are a bit different than the older cars. With that said, usually larger Torsion bars are the first place to start. Then checking / replacing all the old rubber parts. Suspension might need rebuilt after 50 years?

I don't have a pattern, but it is not rectangular. The spacing between the upper and lower holes is different as I found out trying to make some wheel stands for moving the body around without the rear end installed. I'm sure someone here will have the answer in a day or so.

Link not working for me, but marine grade tinned wire is good. The Tin helps prevent corrosion of the wire, and marine grade insulation I believe is low flammability? There are different insulation materials for marine wire that have different properties. I think the XLPE insulation would be...

Have some of the older David Snyder Car Art paintings, but none of my cars. The Blue convertible in the "Fun in the sun", and inside Grand Spaulding look close to the '69 R/T Convertible. My Ex got me a shirt with the '71 Charger air brushed on it like around 1996.

Make sure your in park or neutral with brake on when testing just in could the neutral safety switch is doing its job and the shifter is mis-adjusted. I'd disconnect the neutral safety wire (I think it is brown with the "L" shaped plastic connector at the lower right of the relay for an...

I'd likely run it. Because I have a lift and trans jack, it's not that big an issue for me if it needs to come back out.

I have used Indian Head Gasket Shellac for years with no problems, and it is inexpensive too. Permatex® Original Gasket Shellac Compound, 2 OZ - Permatex® Looking for a more modern, maybe better product, I'm going to try the Vibra-Tite 550 Core Plug Sealant on the next engine build. Vibra-Tite...
