I watched some U-Tube tonight. Couple of guys taking a '64 Dodge 330 2-door sedan out for a drive. They said it had a 496 cu. in. Max Wedge, dyno'd at 608 h.p., automatic in it. The driver gave it a couple of jabs while he was driving it, and it sounded VERY healthy. The car was turquoise, with...

I would like to thank the anonymous donor of a gift Gold Membership to me. This is truly a Thanksgiving surprise, and I don't know what I have done to deserve it. My gift Gold Membership from last year had just recently expired, and I had not gotten around to renewing it, so thanks again. I...

I have an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge under the dash on my car. It is fed by a straight copper tube. When the engine is idling, the needle bounces all over the place. I have another oil-filled gauge under the hood that registers 70 psi, with no bouncing. Do I need to put a couple...

1970 Big Block 727 transmission. Internal parts and case # decode to use with 383HP. The # on the case is PK3410 6681 3141 0521. The transmission mount tells me this was originally in an E-body, but the transmission would also be correct for SuperBee or RoadRunner. Has been totally rebuilt with...

Infamous "innocent" murderer O.J. Simpson cashed in his chips yesterday. I don't think he had enough to get to Heaven.

I wondered about starting a Fire Truck Friday thread. I served on my local VFD for 20 years. We used to host an annual Fire Truck Muster (show) and had quite a varying amount of apparatus attend over the years. This was the pumper that was at our hall when I joined in 1978. It is a 1962 GMC...

As most realize, today is Leap Day, occurring every 4 years, in a year evenly divisible by 4. What a lot of people do not realize, is the impact this has on one's earnings. People who work on a monthly salary work for free today. People who work on hourly pay basis enjoy an extra day of earnings.

I received terrible news yesterday that a good Mopar friend and neighbour died the day before. At first, it sounded as though a hunting accident had claimed my friend. As I talked to more friends, the news became more tragic. Dwayne had died by his own hand. I visited him often at his home shop...

I would like to sincerely thank the nameless person who just now gifted me a GOLD membership. This is certainly unexpected but greatly appreciated. At 76 years old, people have told me these are my Golden Years. I reply that the only gold I have seen lately is in the toilet bowl! This will now...

She was born November 11, 1966. I met her when she was 21, and we have been together ever since. That makes it 36 years. She is more beautiful now, than when we first met. Tonight, we might go out and have her favourite drink; Mobil 93 octane. Yes, I am talking about my 1967 Coronet R/T! Who...

After 20 years of sitting dormant in my garage and going through a comprehensive 5 year restoration, my 1964 Polara went around the block today under its own power. I just went through a month of trying to find oil pressure for it. It turns out the car likes Wix filters, instead of Fram. I have...

Where are you getting 16" wiper blade refills for Anco Airfoil Red Button 1964-1965 B-body wipers? This is just the rubber refill with the metal spine.

After working on my 1964 Dodge Polara, since the Pandemic, I figured I had it ready to fire up today. My buddy and I worked on it Saturday and today and got the 440 engine running, only to find we had no oil pressure. I had tried priming it with my power drill, and foiund it only had a slight...

Happy Canada Day, July 1, 2023 to my Canadian forum friends, and Happy Independence Day, July 4, 2023 to my American forum friends! Dave

I finally found a good use for Coker Redline tires. As a side table in my Man Cave. This is a tire with about 4,000 miles on it, that a belt separated on it. Total junk! I mounted the tire on a 15" rim and added a Red Circle Dodge hub cap. The base is a bar stool that I chopped the legs off at...

Small sample of car show field:

I want to install a set of optional 1964 Polara rear bumperettes on a bumper that does not have the factory holes for them. I know that the raised "bumps" on the rubber pads align with the tail lights. I need to know where the holes are drilled in relation to the top lip of the bumper. Any...

Water pump and crankshaft pulley set for B/RB motor. These pulleys are in good condition with no damage. Lower pulley is two "V" to also drive power steering pump. Water pump pulley is red, because early big blocks were red in Canada. Definitely not S.B. pulley (I checked these against pulleys...
